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!

gah, I hadn't even thought about this, but I think you are absolutely right. I'm still new enough to both the writing of the stuff and the community that I just go squee for any and all comments so hadn't even thought about beyond "comments! Shiny!" or you know... "no comments, :(" lol
and oh my gods thank you for saying writing porn is hard because it makes my head explode to do it, but I read your stuff and it comes across as effortless. And I knew already that it wasn't but it soothes something in my soul to know that I'm not crazy when I want to smash my head against the wall working on this stuff. - so... er.. thanks.

Compared to gen fic, which usually has some plotty idea that I really like and feel accomplished over getting out so smoothly, and want other people to like too.
Why do we do this again?? *g*
