Ok, time for a self wallowing rant =D


I'm Confused, and Sad, and rather annoyed... lol.

Ok and now for the explanation =P

So ages ago i wrote a one-shot fic called "Keep Me Safe" and it got a good response, 9 people commented, and recently i decided to continue the fic into a multi-chap fic, i posted the Second installment and only 2 people commented =( , and i think it was yesterday i posted the Third installment, a piece i worked really hard on, that is like 6000+ words, and guess how many people have commented? 0, none, zip, zilch, nada, which confuses, saddens and annoys me.

Now i'm trying to figure out why this is, are people away, and not on LJ, are people not noticing the post (which i find hard coz the fic has a BANNER) or are people just ignoring it???

And i dont just write fic for comments and what not, but its nice to know what people think of my work, so yeah, im confused!!!

/end rant

So... how is everyone? ... LOL

GAH!!! Sorry, Lala. You always leave such wonderful comments on my fics, and I haven't reciprocated yet... on my part I like to really sit down and read in depth things by readers I like before I comment. I just haven't had the chance to with RL the last few days. But I will.

Well, I've been working insane hours all week since my boss is actually in town (she's normally in Indiana). I'm planning to catch up on all of my LJ stuff tomorrow. So, I'm actually excited to see your update.

I do feel that I must say that your level of disappointment in the lack of responses you've received is exactly why I've stopped my "Infinite Possibilities" story line. While we don't do these things for the comments/feedback, it's incredibly disappointing to spend 8+ hours per day on something for two straight weeks and then be able to hear a pin drop after it's posted. I just felt betrayed. I don't know any other word for my emotions. People sent me tons of e-mail in eager anticipation for my honeymoon scene; but, I posted them and hardly received any comments. I was especially disappointed that the very people who hounded me were not among those who commented on that chapter. It was so bizarre and upsetting.

Now, after seeing this happen I'm just beginning to think that most of the readers have just generally bailed on "Moonlight" fic so there's very few people left to comment. And, this surprises me because the "Veronica Mars" fanfic boards are still lit up with traffic years after the show has shut down. It's only been a few months since "Moonlight" wrapped and we can't hardly get a comment. Maybe CBS was right and the fans are only fans of the actors and not fans of the show itself? I don't know. I'd hate to think that; but, the lack of response to these stories is odd when the "Veronica Mars" stories get tons of comments.

To this day, I'm surprised that no one (other than you) has e-mailed me to see why I never updated my "Infinite Possibilities" storyline. I can only assume no one else cares. And, if that's true then why should I pour my heart and soul into another chapter if no one will comment on it (like with your chapter)?

Honestly, it's sad that we've lost our readers. I don't even know what to think about it anymore. I've found that I just had to put it behind me and move on to other fiction. I didn't know what else to do. Hopefully, you'll have a better experience with your fiction.

you've...stopped...it... *CRIES* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I feel the same way as you hun, but to see that universe you created go, is like finding out moonlight had been canceled all over again, thats how real and amazing you work is, im just pissed off other people couldnt see it, or didnt take the time to appreciate it!!!

I just posted a rant kinda thing in my journal and other moonlight and moonlight fic coms, hoping to stir up some lerkers and sleeping people =P

I had a thought...could it be that my story fizzled out in interest because it was primarily centered on Josef? I noticed that post in the "Moonlight Rumble" LJ group and they said that "Josef isn't feeling the love" because hardly anyone has submitted an icon for him in the next challenge. Do people just not like Josef anymore?

I dunno, most people like josef but don't love him, most people are mick girls lol, i'm a mick girls but i love josef too, throw me in a room with either of them and ill be happy!

i think its also that people find it harder to relate to josef then to mick, if for no other reason then his age, its hard to contemplate living 400 years

aww *hugs* I'm really sorry for you. I hate that when it happens to me with my graphics...

but I really don't have the time for reading fanfic these days. And I kinda try to "break up" with Moonlight, since it's definitely gone...
7th-Sep-2008 01:11 am (UTC)
