Paranoid

Does no one read gen any more? Or is it just that no one comments on it? If it was that bad, please tell me...

Never mind. It's not the feedback I care about so much as knowing it's being read.

Maybe I should figure out a way to include a hit counter.

Thanks, hon. I know a lot of people don't cross genres; I don't, usually, within a fandom.

My post wasn't meant as an accusation to anyone. It's just frustrating to get loads of feedback for a fic I know isn't much good, then post something I believe is and get nothing but silence.

But it's not feedback. I'm not looking for an ego stroke, just to know someone's out there reading it. Because if they're not, why bother to post?

Thanks for replying...I'm just being dumb, I know.

Not pouting, no. I know you are not a 'fb ho', but a huge part of being in lj and posting a WIP is the energy exchange between reader and writer. That said, there are a lot of writers here and not so many 'pure' readers *waggles eyebrows* and sometimes writers have to seek out a soundboard niche for their work, especially if they are trying their hand at a Gen story when they have written SPN'cest in the past.

I promise you that when I do get retired here this year, please God *crosses fingers for luck* I will read your Gen story. I finished saving to disk all of your TS catalog, reading the shorter pieces as I went along so I know for sure you are a good writer and that your masterful Three P universe was not a fluke ; ) When you killed them off in that one short story, Blair first you had me snotting into my kleenex back in my office at work and that is a no-no of the highest order. There's no crying in the workplace! You got me! Thank you ; )
