swatkatIt's time for another story chat! Yay! I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in it as much as I want to, but I'll do my best. *g*

I just read this at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
switchknife's journal (she recs good fics, and I often drop by to check them out *g*). It's the same old topic – feedback, giving and receiving it. We've chatted about this many times in the FFMB, had a few very entertaining flamewars over the discussions (Can we have another one, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
msgenevieve? Pweeease?), and I'm sure we'll chat about them again. Meanwhile, switchknife's list urging the 'invisible readers' to review made me feel very guilty, because I definitely happen to be one of them. I have all the best excuses (they're listed there in the post), but they're just lame. I've made up my mind – I *am* going to send people feedback from now on, no matter how busy I am or how shy I'm feeling.
They say charity begins at home. About half my favourite authors in the LFN fandom are right here, in my flist, and I just realised that I've never really given any of you proper feedback. Yes, most of the stories *were* written before I came to the fandom, and I *am* kinda shy about sending people e-mails (even people I know, lol!) – but now that I've made up my mind, I think I should start by telling you how much I like your stories, and why.
So, what do you think? Should I do it? Would you mind receiving fangirly reviews from me? If you don't mind, then how do you think I should send them to you – mail or LJ? (LJ would be good, you know – maybe they'll inspire passers by to read your fics. Just sayin'. ) Is there any story you want me to pick? (The last question sounds like self-pimping, but please don't be shy. I asked – it's not tacky when you're asked.)
I know this sounds crazy, but I'm really serious. What do you say?

What is the right age for a kitten to be separated from it's mum? Any ideas?

Date: 2004-05-13 12:52 pm (UTC)I'm both. *g* Given the opportunity, I'd keep ten cats and ten dogs. Although, at this point, I can't even have one. *sigh*
As for feedback - do what you feel compelled to do babe. As for myself, it's been so long since I have written anything I can't remember what praise feels like. LOL
Maybe praise will inspire you to write some more? *eg*
