If I did a serious overhaul, I'd post it as a director's cut or something, rather than just updating what's up there. I mean, spelling errors I'll fix. But whole section re-writes? Nope.
Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
I'm sort-of that way too. Once it's posted, it's "published" in my mind. Changing that changes the story that I put out there.
I'd feel like I'd have to put up some sort of notice if I did a full overhaul of a story that's posted. I'm ok with fixing a typo I spot on rereading, but I'm lucky enough to have copies in various places, and those copies wouldn't get fixed, so I pretty much leave stuff alonel.
At this point, I'm thinking that Plei's "director's cut" label might suit my purposes quite well.
In this case I was fortunate to have two very, very able betas look over it and catch some potentially serious errors before I sent it out, but with this fic I really wish I had timed things so I could have had another week to flesh out some ideas/characters.
I knew which one that was without looking! LOVE IT.
Isn't it amazing? No other Ellen stories need be written.
It's really true.
Does anyone know when the authors are revealed in SPN_summergen?
