The Power of Words

Apr 28, 2006 22:15

I had made a promise to myself not to get all weepy and sentimental over posting the last chapter of Another Man's Cage, AMC. And I even managed to behave in the post, without falling all over myself and gushing too much ( Read more... )

*Round of applause for enismirdal* :)

So many of you tell me that you wish you could be more meaningful in your comments about my chapters.

*Guilty look* Mark the calendar, Tarion is admitting guilt!! I might've done that once...

{{{{{Dawn}}}}}

I, like pretty much everyone else, am so glad for this story, not just because it made my Fridays, but because of the people I've met! (Although, I wish I got to know more people...that is honestly my goal for the summer!!)

I do not mind the sorts of comments: "Read it. Liked it. Too tired to say much else." I think worse than anything when sharing writing is the big, echoing silence. Give me praise, concrit...just not silence. ;)

So, in short, don't feel guilty!

It still amazes me the number of people who have become connected through this story. I love when I see two strangers merrily chatting away about something one of them has said. And sometimes, later, they even become friends, which is even better!

True, I don't mind those sorts of comments either! I just hate when my brain cops out when I know I had something more specific!!

But I won't feel guilty now. I'm pretty darn good at being innocent! ;P

*sniffle* I think this truly proves the power of reviewing :) And thanks for the wonderful discussions, the many 'amens' I muttered when I found someone who shared the same ideas and such. It made me sometimes go like: see I am not nuts. But also: the way you wrote Tyelko in AMC. From chapter one, I was hooked! Celegorm came more to life to me and yeah, I really started to appreciate him, so thanks for that (and the zillion Celegorm bunnies that are hopping around LOL).

So... {{{hugs}}} and bring us more goodness coming from the AMC/Felak-verse!

The power of reviewing...exactly! It can make such a difference, to new and under-confident writers, of course, but also to we old wizened ones who need a little nudge of encouragement every now and then. ;)

I think that if I ever share writing and do not need to hear feedback, then it means I've hit rock bottom because I'm not trying anything new that I want people to respond to, just writing the same old boring tales as always.

Me too! :^D To hear what you had to say that was like an echo of my own thoughts or agree with my ideas on things, that is. Sometimes, I get so wrapped up in fanon that I become convinced that no one will tolerate a different viewpoint. For example, I thought I'd be skewered for showing sympathy to Tyelko, Carni, and Feanor. I thought people would be bothered that Nelyo has a girlfriend. I expected a thorough lambasting for the ( ... )
