Alright, so this is not a story but it was a lot to do with fanfiction in general.

A list I'm on posted a poll asking "Why don't you leave feedback on this list?" there were many options, such as "I send it privatly" "I'm embaressed to admit I read it" but my reason, which I suspect may be prevalent, was not on the list.

Basically, I don't want to get yelled at.


With the rise of sites like fanfiction.net,
writers are getting younger and bolder. With that
comes a lack of tolerance for constructive criticism.

Used to be that people asked for feedback because they
really wanted to make their stories BETTER and wanted
to know what people ACTUALLY THOUGHT.

These days, if you write something other than "That wuz gr8! Write
MORE!" it's considered FLAMING and suddenly you're
getting hate mail from the author and eighteen of her
enraged friends.

Personally I was always a little dissapointed to get
those "good job" reveiws. I suppose they're better than nothing and I'm certainly okay if the reader liked my story enough to not want to change anything about it, BUT
"write more!" does NOT tell me WHY they liked it.

I guess my pet peeve is that people shouldn't ask for
"feedback" if they don't really want it.

If you like something, tell the person WHY. If you didn't, you should be able to do the same thing with out fear of banning or hate mail.

If someone has other reasons why they don't personally give feedback, or completely disagrees with what I just said, I'd like to hear it!

Feedback: Definitely, please.
Warning: Explores a certain view of philosophy.
Summary for story: Dominic and Billy analyze Pink Floyd and Plato, at the same time.
Author's note: I was feeling the need for a meaningful fic... this is my half-assed response.

Dominic always seems, for one reason or another, to get extremely philosophical around 2:15 in the morning

Poetic Reconciliations (BB/DM)

Title: Poetic Reconciliations
Rating: G or PG, you decide.
Disclaimer: Didn't happen. Don't know them. Not making any profit.
Feedback: I'd love it.
Notes: The CLM challenge for last week was to take aline from a poem and write a story for it, so after I did that I found six poems and took a line from each then did a ficlet (each 150 in length) for each line. The story itself needs each ficlet to be a whole but the ficlets/sections each are a response to the poem line above them. It was more for me to see if I could do the word limit. 150 words per poem-line. Fluff ahead. ^_^ Any mistakes are mine, unbetaed

New Community

[epicflailer.livejournal.com]

I cannot imagine how sick y'all must be of reading that, so I'll keep this sweet. And short.

candy_swirlz and I are thinking of starting a community. It's gonna be a fic/graphic competition thing. All kinds of work will be accepted -- poems, blinkies, icons, wallpapers. Whatever you can come up with. Basically, a list of words/phrases/lyrics/quotes will be given to you, and you go wherever you want from there.

If you'd be interested, please leave a comment. We'd like to see how well this'd go down before we actually start the community.
