Wow. I'm a hypocrite

[serafina20]

So, after bitching and moaning about feedback whore's, I'm all depressed because I didn't get much feedback and no recc's on my last COTW fic. Not that I don't appreciate those who did drop me a line, 'cause of course I did, except hardly anyone did. And no one mentioned it was posted on the TWOP board; yes, I know I could do it, but I can' hardly work the tags as it is, and I'm just not in the mood. And yes, I realize I'm being hypocritical and stupid, but I'm having a really hard week and am really depressed right now. Everywhere I go I see everyone patting everyone else on the back and enthusing about their stuff and I'm feeling really isolated right now. To top it off, I could hardly sleep last night becaue my sister had a party and they were really loud. My mother wouldn't let me watch Sentinel because they were sitting in the living room talking (wtf? it's not like the guys are actually fucking on the show or anything) and I'm just so frustrated right now.

God, I hate my fucking life.

don't be upset yet! I'm still playing a monumental gam of catch-up induced by a week of work-related, internet-deprived travel, and have the latest chapter bookmarked for tonight's read. I'm not ignoring, I've just had a busy couple of weeks!

*smooch* I love this series, though, and will doubtless be writing you a gushing letter later tonight.

Hugs, sweetie!

I don't know if it makes you feel better, but none of my stuff has ever been recced- anywhere, as far as I can tell. I get feedback on it from ppl I know go to TWoP, but ne'er a rec has been posted. I don't write under this nic though. And I could go self-pimp, but I figure it'd be much more rewarding if it was recced unprompted and a surprise. I guess one of my goals is to keep writing until someone recs something somewhere!

I get some good feedback on things, but sometimes it makes me wonder when every other story posted to SSA was recced and mine wasn't if I'm really doing good stuff.

Mothers are dumbasses. Nuff said. They just don't get it.

But I really enjoyed it. And I'm still looking forward to the sex-fest you were talking about.

No, it doesn't make me feel better cause now I feel bad for you, too. ;) And I know what you mean about self-pimping; I've done it once, but it just didn't feel the same. And I know part of it is that I'm on part 32 and the newness that prompts the recc's is gone, but I've been down so it got to me.

But yeah, I know what you mean about wondering why your fic wasn't reccommended. Espeically when fics that are a lot like yours get recce'd, and you're left out. I tend attribute it to not being well known or what not; people recc fics written by people they know or who participate a lot in fandom, unless the fic happens to be above and beyond wonderful.

I'm glad you liked the last one. Thanks!

Aw, that sucks, honey. I'm so behind on my fic reading, I was just telling jacynrebekah how far behind I am. Also, I think that a lot of people think the more well-known authors don't need feedback anymore because they think they get so much. I'm sure it was a great addition to the series!

I hope you feel better soon.

And stupid mom! Heh. *wink*

Yeah, make sure you let your young'un watch all the TV with hot gay boys that they want, Rhi! :-D

I have a half-written e-mail to you about how much I love COTW sitting in my postponed messages folder. I'll finish it someday, I swear. But I wanted you to know how much I love that series. So much so that I recently printed out the whole thing so I can take it with me to the gym. It took me one and a half printer ribbons and nearly two reams of paper. That's dedication!

Anyway, I love it, and I know many others do. Thanks for writing it!

Wow!

Wow! That is dedication! I have most of it printed out (I haven't printed anything after "Runaway" yet) and I wrote it! < g > Thanks so much for telling me this, though, and I'm really glad you like the series that much.

Thanks!
