Comments do make a difference...

For the past week or so, I've been debating with myself whether it's worth my time and energy to finish The Academy and the two sequels I have in progress. I don't know whether it was due to my cold or the fact that I'm PMSing (highly emotional). I know that what I've written isn't liked by all and I know that I'm not a perfect writer and that's

Oi, I totally agree with you. Nothing is worse than the feeling like everyone is looking the other way when you put yourself out in public like that.

Of course, I really can't complain about lack of comments/reviews much, mostly because I really haven't been reading that much fan fiction here lately...

The thing I wanted to avoid when writing this post was that I sounded like I was complaining about the lack of comments to my story, because that's not my intent. I'm happy to get feedback whether it's one or twenty comments. In all honesty, there are times when I forget to leave feedback myself.

And I'm not saying that that's what your saying...*reads* I really hope that made sense. :)

But...what was my point in all this?

Yeah, show writers some love. You just might brighten their day. :D

Yeah, that's my point.

LOL! Most of what I was trying to say is that I sympathize with your original sentiment. It's disheartening when you put your blood, sweat, and tears into a piece and then no one lets you know what they thought or even if they read it. Honestly, I'd rather have someone rake me over the coals to my face than end up reading about it on fanficrants. =D So, yeah, I understand what you're saying. =)

I was starting to question myself if I was making any sense. ;)

I've seen people make posts like this in other fandoms and then they accused of being an attention seeker, a cry baby, etc. Really sad when the real reason for posts gets lost in translation.

fanficrants? I think I'll play ignorant on that one and pretend I never heard of it. ;)

having NEVER heard of such a place... I had to go look.

I will be laughing for the rest of the afternoon.

Holy crap....

I decided to take a look myself.
