Fan Fiction: Writers, Readers, and Enablers
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
Occasionally I'll get some feedback on the Smallville stories. Apparently either no likes the jossverse stuff or they aren't sending me anything.
What are the standard LotR lists? I'm thinking I should throw my Aragorn/Eowyn snippet out into the cold, cruel world.
I don't think I've ever gotten email feedback. I have one story up on FF.net that got two comments (one was from Fay, thanks Fay!) but I haven't really written enough to get feedback.
Now that I'm sitting here pondering [because otherwise I'd have to do something productive like finish painting] I think that the difference might be LJ. People who read fic on LJ seem more likely to feedback than people who get it on a list who are more likely to feedback than people who just come across a story on a webpage.
Hmmm. Did that make any sense?
Just received a LoC from Yahtzee re The Cuckoo.
Keen! My LoC was from someone I respect and read and EEP!!!
So, you know, fangirl gasket blown.
Did I skim too fast and miss a reference to someone silly enough to not only not appreciate you but go out of their way to tell you so, Plei?
Oh, fuck no. I'm SO staying out of this. It's a big kerfluffle right now, in the Fic World at Large. Crossfandom, much flaming.
Plus I always feel this need to not make it a rote "Thank you. I appreciate the feedback." response.
Yeah. I'm very glad I only post to about 4-8 places. I get a steady amount. Not masses, mind. Enough to keep up with.

Perfect sense, that makes, and yeah, that's my experience. Also, in my experience, GO and UCSL get the most offlist feedback, DoW and WG onlist feedback, and Silverlake a Friday Feedback, because we're all saving up to do it in public.
This all going down mostly on fandom_wank isn't it? I'm avoiding this one, mostly because I've been bad about sending feedback.
Yeah; and there's a thread that was linked in metablog on someone's journal where this is all being discussed.
I don't care what all everyone says on that flamewar. I like feedback and I thank people for sending it to me.
