Re: [BellaAndEdward] reading WIP or completed stories

 



That's the thing---the authors sometimes needs that feedback to carry on. Especially if they are newbies. I've been writing fanfic for at least 10 years---maybe more. And the one thing a newbie or any fanfic writer has to know---just because you aren't getting feedback doesn't mean it's not being read. Sometimes you just don't have the time for feedback. Which is why I love the sites where it tells you how many views your piece has gotten.
 
That said, this is why I say---find the time to send feedback, on or off the list. And if you run into a newbie who is discouraged, tell them, it takes time. Remember one thing---you are writing for yourself and if somebody else acknowledges it, that's the icing on the cake. And also remember---quality over quantity. Better one glowing feedback then 5 so-so ones. : ) Prolific Peggy.

I'm trying to ween myself off of reading work-in-progress stories, but it's harder to do than I thought.  Part of me feels bad for doing that because authors sometimes will want the feedback as they go, to help them.
