Oh goodness, have I seen the ego. I really hate that. I have seen authors holding the next chapter hostage until a certain number of reviews are received.

I love reviews. I have never gotten many because I don't normally choose to write the popular pairing in either of the fandoms I write for. I know this has hurt me because folks see my name and assume that I'm going to be writing the not so popular characters/pairings.

I have never understood folks who don't take pride in their work by having it beta'd, spellchecked, etc.
