That was a fun poll, although I wasn't sure whether to take it while thinking of U.N.C.L.E. fics in specific or all fics. I think I took it more for the latter, although I suppose the only real difference between the two is that for U.N.C.L.E. I mostly read. What I put down was "Both."
I think I picked the final answer for the "what do I mean when I ask for comments", but every one of them could actually fit what's going through my mind. LOL. I want to hear actual problems, but I don't want it said in a nasty way that will hurt feelings, and I don't want a huge wall of text of blathering on and on about every nitpicky little problem someone has. And another option that wasn't there would be "Tell me what's wrong, but also tell me what's right." I hate it when someone comments only to tell me what's wrong and doesn't say one nice thing.
Related would be my answer to the final question, as I chose the last one. I think some reviewers take fanfic way too seriously and forget it's supposed to be fun. But at the same time, I do honestly want to improve where I can (while still writing with the elements and angles I like best).
