I've noticed a pattern here so far.  The original poster said "'reviews' 
on 
authors", not "reviews of fanfics".  I don't know about you folks, but I'd 
like 
to think that there is a difference between the two.  Reviews/C&C of fanfics 
are part of what this list is for.  "Reviews" of the authors themselves border 

on getting personal since we're talking about the people themselves, not their 

works.

In other words, saying that a fanfic sucks is one thing.  Saying that the 
author sucks is another, and one I don't particularly care to see.

Well spoken. Hey, whoever-it-was-that-made-the-origional-post, if you want to 
keep the 'author' part, then review several fics done by someone, then allow 
the people you are sending the review to decide whether the author is good or 
not. Sounds a bit more 'civil' to me.
