Ranting...

Okay this is my pet peeve... As an author I know how good you feel when you get a review on something you’ve written. Just to know that your muse was able invoke emotions in a reader that makes them feel compelled to comment on your work.


But it absolutely drives me crazy when authors ask for comments. I can even understand as a writer that sometime positive reinforcement and encouragement is enough to keep you pounding away at the keyboard. If someone is moved enough to leave a comment that’s great, but the story I’m reading right now (on Midnight Whispers) the author is practically begging for praise.


They use all caps and ask you to leave a comment before each chapter, and at the end of every chapter. To be honest it’s a real turn off. Maybe it’s just me, but it borders on desperation. Sure I wish I received more comments. But when I do get them I really appreciate them, because I feel like my audience leaves them because they’re heartfelt, not required. Did I mention that said author, doesn’t reply to their comments… Really?


Okay I’m done bitching…

I know the feeling, it annoys me when I see that too. Granted I've not been able to write much of anything fic wise in a while, but still.


Which fic is it that you're reading? XD

Now you know which fic I'm talking about... He, he, he...

It's the fractured fairy-tales series... Remember I said I thought the titles were goofy... I mean the fics are okay, but... I've made it to Little-Red-Riding-Hood but its too much, or not enough... I don't know...

Okay like I said I'll stop bitching...
