You honestly don't have to apologize for anything! I am sorry that I missed the post and also say that while I really do appreciate your hard work, I am on the fringe of the SPN fandom at the moment so I don't tend to comment as much as I used to.
My opinion is that it does suck when you put fannish things out there online and there isn't a response--most of my fanfic rarely got a sweeping response anyway even when I was at my most active in the fandom. So my view is more putting it up online for my own pleasure so that I can access it later than for others. I admit that it is a lonely and sad view but it does help with the disappointment of lack of response.
Val, you are really creative and extremely passionate about the boys and fandom which is very inspiring and we should be thanking you for sharing your passion online.
Sorry you had a tough week. I'm a lurker to your journal and LJ in general at best these days (but I love it all still). Best wishes for the week ahead. I rarely have a plan these days, so power to you for being so progressive and proactive. I hope it works swimmingly for you. *cheers and hugs*
Sorry you were feeling discouraged, and that I missed your unhappy post - I think there are two things I can say here. First I know many people are not getting their notifications from LJ at the moment, and I'm pretty sure I'm not seeing everything I should either, though mostly I'm getting duplicate notifications instead of none! Second, I just don't have time to look at everything my flisties post, and when I get bogged down, I tend to try and just check personal posts. But obviously I missed that one.
Hey hun, no need to apologize. That's what we're here for, to listen for your ranting and venting. It's good for your soul to let off steam occassionally.

Anyway, I hope you are feeling happier now.
