Check-in & pouting session
Successfully finished the twisted shorts back in August. Aside from one major goof on my part when I combined two completely different fics from two completely different universes, everything went well. There were a few minor blips, but that's to be expected when trying to find 31 different bits of media (book, tv show, movie, etc) to use. :-) I felt rather proud of myself for completing that.
Then tried to write a series of shorts to answer a question that had been bothering me. Got nit-picked to death when I posted the first story despite the warning that there would be mistakes and despite the fact that what I wrote *had* to happen because, oh, well, THE HUGE PROPHESY AT THE BEGINNING SAID IT WOULD.
After discovering that everything I did in those fics from capitalizing the first letter of each sentence to using a period at the end of the sentence was wrong and went against canon (yes I'm exagerating a bit, but that's what the nit-picking felt like), I've lost all desire to post the rest of the stories for fear of more negative feedback.
I suppose I could just ignore the feedback, but given that I flinch when I even see my story listed, it probably won't do me much good. *sigh* *pout*
Why can I stand in front of an auditorium full of people and teach, lecture, present or perform without a second thought, but posting what's supposed to be a fun story online scares me to death?
