Feedback and Fangoria
You know what pisses me off?
Getting 4 anonymous comments to 4 different stories of which one is praise and the other three are bitching about how they're set up.
You know what, when I started doing this writing thing I did it all just for fun. For my friends, few as they were at the time. Someone asked for something and I wrote it. No beta, no header or summary or anything. I wrote, I posted and people had a laugh or a shudder, whatever. So yes, they're probably not as well organised as what is being posted today. Some day I might fix that. That day is not today.
But seriously, if such a simple thing as author's notes (and I didn't even know they were called that at the time, I was just blabbering the way I do) being too close to the writing "ruins the whole story" maybe you should go elsewhere, ok?
Jeez. Figures he's a man. Seriously, I love men, especially naked, but they can be utter assholes.
[ETA. He's started to leave normal feedback now but I kinda cringe every time I see a new comment in my mailbox, wondering what is he going to complain about now. Way to make first impression, dude.]
On a completely different note: Fangoria
I had trouble falling asleep last night because I was so worried about you people who were/are going, hearing the news that Jared can't make it. And I get that there's bitching and some folks are angry but every one of YOU on MY flist is just being so gracious and understanding towards him. Disappointed, yes. Wanting to kick the wall, yes. Wanting to kick Jared? No, never. Because all of you are agreeing on one thing and that is that he loves his fans and he goes to such lengths to do everything he can for them and I bet you he is sitting in his trailer crying his little heart out right now, with Jensen awkwardly rubbing his back and trying not to stalk over to Kripke and push him up against the wall and tell him to 'let my boy go.' It just doesn't work that way. They probably fell behind or something and I just know he did everything he could to make it work which is why the cancellation came so late. And you, all of you who are on my flist, you get that. If people are bashing Jared they're doing it elsewhere and they obviously DON'T get it. I'm feeling very proud of you people right now. And sad for you. And so very bad for our poor boy.
