Buffy fanfic recs, and comments on commenting

[singer_d]

I've amassed a bunch of Buffy fic links over the past several months and finally have the time to rec some. In no particular order.

Comments

I am someone that started as a reader and am now a writer as well. I love getting comments of any sort on my stories. The only time I ignore comments is when they are obvious flames. I take criticism in stride, and many times it changes the way I write my next stories.

I do have problems with those that only give negative comments. If someone has read the entire story and takes time to comment, at least they could tell me one thing they like before launching into reason they hate my writing.

With that said, I also hate getting tons of praise for a story, and then discovering a major mistake that no one bothered to mention. If you find a big typo or a major continuity problem in my story, I'd like to know. I won't be mad that you told me.

I love getting concrit. One of my favorite pieces of fb was when someone felt that Angel woundn't have acted the way he did in my story. I listed why I felt he would and all in all, a great discussion.

And if I don't know people's issue with a story how will I improve?

And thanks for reccing two of my stories, unexpected and so very sweet of you.

Of course I am sweet, but I don't rec stories because I'm sweet - I rec stories because they are worthy. *g*
