Swamping?

[kerravonsen]

Is it okay to start posting fic reviews again?

What? Yeah. I wasn't complaining, just commenting. ;)

Did people complain that they were being swamped by them?

What might be a nice idea -- although you might find it to be more work or just plain not like it -- is to do one post per batch of reviews. Maybe one post per fandom, with however many you have for that fandom. They tend to be pretty short, so I think that would work.

(And if that's not what you meant, then, um, just ignore me. :))

Two people did, yes.

No, that would be (a) more work (b) not solve the problem; it wasn't the multiple posts versus all-in-one-post that was the problem, it was that they wanted to read the stories in question and felt that the reviews were coming too quickly for them to do so.
This was happening because I have a backlog which I'm trying to catch up on.

I'm not caught up yet, but my fic backlog goes back a very long way. Post if you want, and I'll read the stories eventually.

Exactly this.

I've started gathering fic into batches for later reading; I may not always comment on your reviews right away, but hopefully if I've found a fic through your reviews, I'll remember to come back when I read it (or I may poke through your fic review tag on a regular basis when I have free time, which I do for friends who rec a lot, anyway).

I'd be fine if you started posting them again (esp. till your backlog is cleared)--as long as it's okay if you don't see comments from me right away.

One thing I've found useful, now I have a phone with unlimited internet access, is to make a private LJ post with a list of links to unread fics, bookmark that post on my phone, then work my way through the list at times when I have no internet access (or no access on which I'd want to be caught reading fic) and nothing else to occupy myself with for ten minutes to an hour.

I'm still reading previous recs.

Sorry, I posted the next ones before I read this comment. 8-(
On the bright side, only one of them is a rec.
