Awesome idea for a thread, maniac! As far as reviews go, I am thankful every time I get one, they just make me so happy no matter what they say (unless they're stupid). I've gotten a lot of reviews that I truly appreciate, so I'll try to pick the best.
Quoting this one because it's hilarious how stupid this girl is. This one-shot I wrote is nine pages long, ample time for her to click the back button in disgust, and it's clearly marked in the Harry Potter fandom as a Hermione/Snape. Whatever you may think of that, this review is still fundamentally stupid. When I informed the girl that her review was dumb, she told me I had a stick up my *ss. LAWL. I also politely informed her in a "P.S." that it's "always." With an "s."
Yay I scarred someone for life!
Hmm, some of the best ones I have gotten are for A Fine Line. Here are a few:
And I love it ESPECIALLY when someone tells me, "gee, I never would've thought this pairing was possible but then I read this and now I'm convinced!" It's an amazing feeling.
The best reviews are ones I get from Sai, though, because I KNOW I've done something right when Sai, who hates het romance, will read my stuff and admit that she liked it. For example:
EDIT EDIT: Hate to make this longer, but I read La's post a little late.
AWW YOU'RE SO ADORABLE OF COURSE I WOULD LIKE YOUR WRITING, YOU SILLY GOOSE. U R GEWD AT WRITIN' STUFFZ.
And I agree wholeheartedly, Koky always leaves me amazingly insightful reviews, ones that really tell you he was paying attention and thought about what you wrote. I heart him especially because somehow he found me in Ye Olden Dayse when I wrote Yu Yu Hakusho fics, and he's stuck with me ever since (that was something like five years ago, people).

EW!
It would've been cute, if I hadn't known these d*mn people! Severus is completely ugly and OLD! Hermione and him have alwayz hated eachother since the dawn of time, talk about total crack parring!
The story itself and the paragraph format was great, perfect even, the story in itself made sense, a little confusing.
But I'm scarred for life.

Stories like this remind me why I keep coming back to time and time again despite plowing through terrible fics more often than not. It's beautiful masterpieces like this that are able to make me cry, laugh and smile and more, and still want to re-read it all over again no matter how many hours it takes.
You are an amazing writer, and I do hope you keep writing. "Fine Line" is one of the most incredible fics I've read up to date, and you definitely deserve more than a meager review like this, but nonetheless, I hope it'll do.
Thank you for writing this story

I know this fic has been finished for over a year but I had to review and tell you that I thought this was very well thought out and perfectly executed in regards to the plot, pacing, character development, flashbacks, and the romantic bit there at the ending.
The things Vincent had to face about himself in order to move on the next "level" ultimately made him let go of the past and learn to be happy in the present.
The fact that if he hadn't he probably would have never been happy much less be with Yuffie was a point I really liked.
You should try writing original short horror stories. You have a definite talent for them.

I'm going to continue to read this just because I know you, and I know your writing, and as much as I hate to say it... this may be interesting.
I should go attempt to drown myself in a nice yaoi pot now. But, I did love how Yuffie talks about Reno, among other things. The hair bit? Amazingly funny.
