So, people like my story! Yay!

Though, my half-baked theory that the more plot = the less comments seems... pretty correct, actually. Hahaha...haaah... <-- somewhat exhausted laughter because I heart feedback but omg writing porn is GRUELLING.

ETA: okay, writing the above makes me SO PARANOID because it's this THING again where if you talk about what it's like to receive feedback then you are being precious. And yet that site of engagement is such a complex one that I wish wish WISH fandom as a whole was more open to meta'ing and being frank about it (I know, I have said this before, but then I get - hah - paranoid, and lose my nerve and delete after all). But I am trying to be brave, and not think about being silently judged. CAN WE PLEASE, AS A COMMUNITY, JUST TALK ABOUT IT?

Ahem.


Anyway. Speaking of writing stuff, I am going to re-do the Nerdy PSA into a v.2, seeing as lots of people are still using it and I think I could tidy it up a bit and integrate a bunch of stuff left in the comments. If you have anything to add/weigh in on wrt accessibility and casual coding that isn't covered there, drop me a comment/PM/pigeon?

omg productivity!

Pr0n is DIFFICULT AND SQUIRMY-MAKING TO WRITE. And also the only way to get wodges of comments. That said, the comments one gets on plotty stuff and gen stuff do tend to be a little more concritty, given NC17 tends to attract a slew of omg hawt and a plethora of tmi. Not that any feedback is bad. It's ALL LOVELY AND I NOM IT LIKE CAKE.

It would be really interesting to discuss the whole getting comments thing in a non-judgemental arena, because it often sounds like whining or bitching or precious, precious, princessing and it's not, or at least, not the stuff I'd be interested in discussing.
