So, there's a fan author I want to send an "I really love your fic" email to.

...only I want to add a line along the lines of "I'm very impressed with your level of detail and world building and I am not easily impressed; I've been reading fanfic for almost 40 years and used to be a book critic." And I can't tell if the natural reaction to that comment would be "Wow. That's really something; I'm flattered" or "Wow. What a blowhard; she's flattering herself."

Thirded. I, personally, would be very flattered to receive that review, but I think the book critic bit does sound just a wee bit off.

I thought it might. Some of my reviews have been used as blurbs - I was flattered, but it doesn't work into conversation well, does it?
