If I love it, I write lengthy feedbacks. If I like it, I do say so. And sometimes, though, not lately, I sneak around on Ff. net and act as grammar fairy.And mention stuff like "Giles would know the difference between 'manner' and "manor". I know there is no point, but I would not be able to live with myself otherwise. I've had nice conversations with a few ficcers I've given feedback to.(other than you guys) but some of them don't say thanks or anything. but that e-mail is probably the fourth box or something.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
And yes, the fandom has changed immensely. Most of the folks on the Haven have clearly never heard of the series.
See, for a moment there I thought you meant "had never heard of the television series." And I thought, "Well, it's a bit harsh, but not untrue." Most of them seem to have gotten their idea of good characterization from sappy fanfic, not from the actual show.

Oh, this is absurd. The Farscape Fanfic Awards (already of questionable validity since they refuse to accept any slash at all) are so desperate for submissions that they are now accepting nominations of any stories written since the series began, including past winners of their own awards. t boggles

That's just really beyond sad.
Why don't they accept slash?

Because that would be wrong. Actually, I have no idea. They just won't. I had better refrain from further comment.

I just don't really get a lot of fanfiction awards.

Following on the feedback discussion (I don't get fanfic awards so much I have nothing to say about them), I've just received what I think could be the best bit of feedback I've ever. It's about the Angel/Wesley drabbles, which some of you may have read, it's not long or detailed. The person- whom I've never heard of before- just wrote: "DISTURBINGLY COOL."

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Heh.

Feedback is cool, I don't send enough but I'm trying. I recently got some feedback on some of the first stories I wrote and that's really cool.
The "disturbingly cool" feedbacks are the best.

They are indeed the best. I replied with a simple 'Thank you' and I hope they get the message.
