As promised, this week we discuss the flip side of last week's post, positive feedback about your writing. What are some memorable compliments you have received? How was it helpful? When is a compliment less helpful, though still no doubt appreciated? How do you give positive feedback? What effect does positive feedback have on you? Feel free to discuss these or related subjects in the comments.

Lots of time a reviewer can say they liked something but may have difficulty saying why, and saying what exactly they liked can supply more detail and lets the author infer the why whether it's stated outright or not.
I see you've done the liveblogging thing for the fic you were gifted with. Impressive! I aim for longer and more specific comments on fics that were written for me, but I've never gone into that level of detail.
I've seldom gotten plotbunnies from reviews. Funnily enough when I do get ideas it's for the fic in progress, and I have in fact corrected course on ongoing projects based on reviews so they're helpful for me in that sense.
