I don't have much to say except that I agree with you.
if you are moved by my fiction on a level deep enough to comment on it, please don't feel that you need to sugarcoat your words. I can take the truth.
I'd love to say this. I want to say this. I'm just not sure if it's true.
I've never gotten a lot of feedback on anything I've written except a my latest effort which was for SGA_flashfic. Even then, I don't think any of the comments I received were criticism. In fact, I don't think I've ever really received any concrit. (Though most of my other fic is at ff.net, so this isn't really a big surprise.) The only helpful review of a fic that I can remember receiving was one for a SG-1 zine fic that I finished at the last minute, right before the deadline, and I only got the feedback then because I had my mother beta it. (She wasn't a fan though, and half of her critique was 'What does this acronym mean?')
So I'd like to say that I can take it, that any feedback is good feedback, but I really don't know if that would be the truth or not.
I for one would love to know if any of my fics are ever recced or discussed in any manner, because that would mean that people had read them. (Said 'zine fic only ever received one comment to my knowledge, and it was only a brief sentence or two to the effect of 'that was funny'. It was from a person who was talking about the 'zine as a whole and the fb was fwd to me by the editor.)
