You appear to be new to LJ fandom and the concept of fic reccing, but mickeym was being polite in her response to you. She was not attempting to encourage you in your use of her journal to expound on your Theories of Good Writing. Basically, by coming into this post and picking apart the story that was recced, it seemed that you were criticizing mickeym's taste or ability to recognize good writing. If you have something to say about a story, it is considered best to address those comments to the author of said story, as the author herself has expressed her desire to have you do.
It's also generally considered polite to introduce yourself to someone if you're new to their journal and want to get into some sort of heavy discussion with them about something.
Also, concrit is a dicey issue, and most people broach it gingerly--if at all--if it hasn't been explicitly welcomed by, you know, the author, not people not connected in any way to a story other than enjoying it and offering it up as something others might enjoy.
