FIC update

Apr 13, 2005 14:44

EDIT to De-bitch: Posting as I normally do. My temper tantrum is over!

I'll be emailing Wicked is as Wick Does chapter 46 to the two that sent feedback and the one person that let me know they wanted to keep getting addition chapters. The remaining chapters will not be posted.

If want to be on the email distro, then comment below.

Adios!

Oh I'm fine. Just really disappointed in the FB for the last few months. There are a few who are very good about it, and I can't tell lyou how much I appreciate them.

But we work hard to put this stuff out and its such a small thing to do if you read the fic to just send a little something saying what you thought. It's our only measure.

And I know people can't always send FB for each chapter. I try to when I read a fic, but can't each time as well. I have been thinking about this since last year.

So I'll send the rest of this one to people who want to read it and once I've finished the whole thing, I'll send it tothe lists for archiving. Maybe I'm being bitchy cause I want him gone and I have taxes to finish and I wanna get this story done.

Tell me, please. I know you'll be honest.

I know how you feel, sweetie, I really do. I think readers sometimes forget that writing takes work and that feedback is the ONLY coin we get paid in!

(BTW, I'm sorry, but since I don't like Wesley and don't often opt for Spangel...I haven't been reading this one! Forgive me????? I love many of your other stories! And have sent you FB to prove it!)

I understand how much stress you've been under! But I really think you should keep posting the chapters. I do understand your reaction though! I just think you should maybe post a little Author's Note with the upcoming chapters asking for a bit more reader support instead of just withdrawing from posting them. But whichever way you choose to go, I understand, believe me!

I may give it another try. I've done the note thing several times trying to gently prod people into responding.

And you don't like my baby?? Gasp! There's more intricate plot than pairing although S/W is the main pairing and the others are few and far betweeen, but I forgive you!

I can't read a crossover to without considerable effort and even then I'm totally cringing. So I understand.

I do like the Blood of Man, though.

Thanks for giving me your perspective. I'm just tired I think.

I haven't been reading much S/W lately since I've been working on my 147 chapter long Dawn series, Ive been doing a bunch of research and its taken away from my fic reading time but I love your work, I did start to read this in the beginning and I think its great, I think you write Wes very well, I dont get FB for most of my fics and I think thats just because I dont post them here but Im sure your readers love what you do and appreciate the time you take to give them what they want, I know I do, keep up the great work and if necessary you can always pull out the bull whip and start prodding the people on your F-list to tell you what they think.

Hugs(cause it seems like you need one),

Thanks! I'll be posting it as usual. I'm feeling more human and not so bitchy.

Thats good to hear, but you know you've got every right to get a little cranky sometimes, especially when it comes to your fic, I think anyone who takes the time to write has every right to get a little frustrated when they're work isn't given the appreciation it deserves.
