Author's notes: Thy Kingdom Come

[high_flyer87]

I'm still floating a little bit after the last fic I posted.  And not in the good, "Yay look! People like my writing!" kind of way.  But the, "I spent really long on this, and I posted it, and now I don't know what to do, and I don't know what people think of it" kind of way.

So.  Yeah.  I always get this way after posting fic.  I guess I got

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I feel bad for being so greedy about the feedback thing, but I suppose it's natural to want to know what people think *shrugs*.

Plus it's only been a few days, so if people watch the same amount of Supernatural comms I do, it does take a while to sift through everything. So maybe I should just relax, yeah?

Ah, interesting... I love the director's cut thing with fic. There's always more to the story than the actual story and I'm a total sucker for that kind of insight ^_^

About the feedback thing, I feel you. I was talking to someone on my flist that had the same thought, and she had actually turned on that LJ tracking feature (shows you the traffic to your page) and she said it was crazy how many people actually visit and don't bother to comment. Which is sad, I know!

You know how I wrote like crazy in the Heroes fandom and then sort of (sort of?) got brainwashed by SPN? Anyway, I recently posted another Heroes fic and these people are coming out of the woodworks saying, oh I love your fic, I hope you don't give up on the fandom, etc etc and I'm like WTF PEOPLE, IF YOU LOVE ME SO MUCH, WHY HAVEN'T YOU EVER LEFT ME A SINGLE FREAKING COMMENT ON ANY OF MY STORIES UNTIL NOW???

(Yes, I'm kind of an ungrateful bitch, but I know you get me. You always do.)

I checked that tracker thing the other day and it is insanely crazy how many people look at your page but never make themselves known! It's frustrating!

I feel like I shouldn't get so greedy about feedback. Like, I should just want to write because I enjoy writing, and not care who reads it or who comments on it. But I'd be lying if I said I just wrote for myself! lol I love getting those LJ notification emails XD

Nah, it's okay I totally get it! It's human nature to want to feel appreciated, you know? Nothing wrong with that :) I do kinda want to know why people would read and enjoy a story and not take two seconds to comment though.

(hmm, maybe if some lurker is reading our conversation they'll respond, haha)
