A fic meme and whatnot

Mar 06, 2007 12:42

Taken from belisse. Following a read of this meta on lack of feedback I'm thinking I could do with pimping my gen/character stuff that I'm proud of (but get barely any comments on) about the place. I'm well enough known in the happy little SGA fandom niche of McKay/Weir but for any other fandoms or gen SGA stories, even straight main character angst/ ( Read more... )

memes, my fanfic, sga, buffy, 4400, firefly, friends

I've only written about 10 fics I think so this should not be hard :p

Apart from your Library Au's I don't really know much about your fics. Are they mostly SG-1?

I've done other Atlantis apart from library, Sg-1 and one Harry Potter fic.

I never understand why your fics get so few comments, say, at fanfiction.net. I tend to put it down to the more complex and intellectual nature of your work :D Kind of like fewer people buy Shakespeare than Steele *rolls eyes* You could add that the that interesting meme, I reckon. Getting only one review for a very minority fandom area is often thanks enough, I found, but it would be so nice to get more!
I think a website is a great idea!

You flatterer you! ;P Thing is, I don't expect minor character fic to get any reviews, maybe one or two is likely. What confuses me is how writing about Weir or Teyla doesn't or main character friendship/non action-adventure gen seems to get often less than the rare character fics. I can only presume I simply don't promote those well enough and I'm not well enough known outside the smaller pockets of fandom to attract much attention to them.

but yes, website would make it easier for fic to be found. Looks like my sga fic is approaching 100 in which case tags for that will soon be useless. Unless I'm missing something but it won't let me go further back than 100 entries for any one tag... Only problem is a website would eat up lots of my time. I'd want it to be php/mysql listings for ease later on but it'd take time to sort out right now... I could always test out efiction3 for a personal site. Might leave that until next week though, got some more writing, vidding and betareading to do right now.
