Gakked from sabaceanbabe.

Oftentimes people don’t leave comments or feedback because they’re not sure what to say. They don’t want to remark on things the author may not have meant for them to notice, or the overall impression is so strong that it drowns out specifics. Below is a list of questions to consider for what I’ve already written, and let me know

For 10, I'd honestly be kind of wary of Spin Control if I hadn't read your stuff before because of the uncommon main pairing. But I like how you write and I'm interested in the story and the character dynamics so I've stuck around. And I have been enjoying it so far! It's certainly different from most other fics nowadays. :)

Oh, awesome, thank you. :) Yeah, I keep running into this problem. It's all "let's write this pairing that absolutely nobody can picture" or "let's try selling people on this really obscure kink" with me and then people around me blink and reply, very politely, "Well it's a little hard to picture right now..." ;)

That's part of the fun, really, seeing how it comes together. ;)

Exactly! :))

That happened to me on Control, my BSG Helo/Six fic, and it ended up being one of my most popular fics. :P

Hahah, yes. Happened to me that way both with Gaeta/Hot Dog and the one where John Casey had a clinic sex kink (and every one of the many comments started with, "let me make abundantly clear that I don't have this kink and I can't believe I found this hot..."). Exotic ideas are sometimes the best. :)
