Other Things To Know: You should read my stuff, and then review it. Good reviews makes a good writer. Good writer makes for a good story. Keep goodness alive.

Notes

22.08.09 - I just read the best review I've ever received. It wasn't even a good review, though I wouldn't say it was BAD review either. In fact, it was the exact kind of review any writer would want to read. The kind that actual critics probably give actually authors. The kind that you would get from an English teacher that really cares about your growth as a writer. The kind that really disects your work down to its littlest points, and exposes it for what it really is! (okay, I'm beginning to ramble about this). Point is, I just wanted to put up my thanks to Objective, the reviewer who left me these particular notes on my latest story Matchmaker. Even as it stung somewhat to read the bad news, it was so contrustively written that it was hard not to appreciate it for what it was: a kick ass review =)

Also, just to add, I changed the title of Matchmaker, to Falling In Love. Still a working title, but for now this one feels good. Let me know if I should try changing it again.

19.08.09 - My newest fic, Twilight, Matchmaker, is going on pretty well for me. I mean, I like it very much, and I think it's getting a good enough response. I like this one much better than Music For Love at least, hehe. Anyway, I hope everyone else whose reading Matchmaker likes it as much as I do. ALSO, as I've been writing it, I've been wondering if I should change the title. If anyone has any ideas, I would completely appreciate it.

Also, I feel that following this fic, I'm going to take a short fanfic break. They just take up a lot of time, and I'm about to enter college, so I need the time, you know? So I hope everyone will understand =)

29.05.09 - You know what I realize really pisses me off? People who read stories and don't review. Now, I don't want to be a hypocrite, so I'll be honest, I've clicked on many a story and haven't reviewed them. But this was either because: 1) the first five lines were distateful, so I didn't actually complete enough to review it, 2) I finished the entire thing and couldn't find anything to say about it, because it was still distasteful. But if I'm going to make a point of adding the story to my favorites, I at least tell the author WHY I favorited the thing. I guess I'm bitching because since I finished Music For Love I've been getting all these "Favorite Story" alerts, but no reviews on precisely WHY the alert comes up. And I know, I should just assume that getting the story favorited is enough, and on a normal basis I operate that way...but I guess its because this is my first Twilight fanfiction and I just really wanted to know how well I did or not, and what to change and etc etc etc (especially since I might be considering writing another one).

Ehhh...maybe I'm just bitching about nothing. It's just a pet peeve of mine. Because reviews is what makes a good writer. Alot of my other stories that I posted got some very good reviews...not just the ones that said "love it, more!", but ones that actaully commented on my writing style, and plot theme and other literary stuff. And I really try to take those things to heart, especially when someone raises a concern about the story itself.

Anyway, I'm done rambling now. I guess it was just irking me to the point that I felt like posting something on it.

15.05.09 - Thought my profile was too lengthy, so I erased all the notes from two years ago (why am I keeping those anyway, right?) I feel a little better about Music For Love. I'm at a point where I'm going to finish writing it, even if its not going over well (I've debated endlessly whether its worth the hassle to complete). But I took a look at my story record, and, if I do say so myself, I'm mad good when it comes to finishing stories. ALL of mine are completed (how many fanfic authors can say that?), and I'd hate to dampen the record with an unfinished one. More importantly, as I said before, I'm starting to like the premisefor Music For Love alot better now. I have a good idea of what direction I want it to go in, and I've already written out the outline for it. And maybe once it's done, people will like it better. As for the people who like it now: thanks alot for the reviews, its really helping more than you think =)

14.05.09 - Just posted a new story - a whole new genre for me, A Twilight fic, Music For Love. So far its reception has been pretty low, but I'm still going to give it a chance. I mean, I've already started, and I'd hate for people who are reading it (but just dont review it) to be disappointed. Then again, why cant you leave a review if you like something? Maybe its just because I review any story that I've read past chapter two. but not everyone is me, so you learn to live with it.

Anyway, I want to see how this Twilight fic plays out because I'm pondering starting another one (after this is finished). but if I have no knack for the genre and I'm not being received well by the Twilighters, I'll just try to branch out elsewhere. I guess you could call Music For Love my experiment story: do I have what it takes to write Twilight fics...we'll see

Check it out if you're into Twilight, and (why not?) check it out if you're not. You might be pleasantly surpised.
