Why aren't non-SW/ST fanfics so unappealing to you guys...I mean, I have heard great things about my writing, bu I really don't want to hear it IRL anymore...it seems to be getting to the point where I am being told that my writing is good becuase that's what I want to hear. I just don't understand it. I mean, if my writing is abosultely fucking horrible, I want to know! I don't have the knowledge or the resources to write fics such as say Kelly or Stravo, but I do enjoy writng, and I do enjoy getting feedback. Now is it just me (I may be writing this topic preemptively), or are pure fics jsut not your thing...?

1st off, this should be in the advice threads in the FF

2nd, I think I've already given you an answer

3rd, if people don't want to responed, youn can't force them to Verilon.

I think what you want now is a real critique group. There are quite a few out there with varying degrees of organization. http://www.critters.org is the best known but there are quite a few others. Critters does not allow fanfics -- original fiction only and from what I can gather the feedback is extremely honest.

When I read a fic I'll ggive an honest critqure. If it sucks, I'll say so. I just haven't rad many of them.

Okay, sorry about that...my fault. I just thought iot would be safe to post it here, if anywhere.

Thanks for the link.

I don't mind critiquing. Only problem is that I really dislike looking at any fanfic (even my own). But I'll try.
