You have 18,000+ hits for Collected Works. You have 7,000+ for a four part fic. It's not that much of an anomaly.
Yes, its not an immodest amount of attention, I'll give you that - but its also not enough to justify the absolute sweep of awards I seem to have taken.
You write (very) good!fic. You get enough traffic to cover the amount of votes you get at the IYFG and the other awards groups. I guess I'm just not seeing the disparity.
Also - if you could see the list of people that have that story on alert? You'd realize how many of them aren't actually reading it anymore, LOL.
Have you asked them, or do you just assume that they are not reading because they don't comment?
It's a long, slow process because I'm very stubborn and set in my ways, but I've already won half the battle, in changing my thinking about it all. Now its just a matter of putting that into place.
I wish you luck! I hate seeing my friends make themselves miserable, especially when it's something that doesn't much matter in the long run.
psyco_chick32 has been instrumental in me allowing myself to be okay with the fact that I'm being so slow on the update with those fics, and I really, really appreciate that <3
You know I'll support you on that issue, too. It really is okay to take as much time as you need to get an update done. If you take longer but it makes the fic better in the end, then it's more than worth the wait.
This mostly bugs the shit out of me because I want to know what worked, and what didn't, and that's kinda hard to do without feedback.
But you are getting feedback; I'm constantly astonished by just how much thoughtful feedback you get, both here at your lj and on the archives. You're never going to get a 1:1 ratio of hits to reviews... I've found it's best just to appreciate what you do get, otherwise you'll just upset yourself.
You don't have to say anything =) You can be surprised, or appalled, or think less of me for it, but this is the process by which I work something out of my system.
LOL well honestly it's more like... And here I thought you were getting loads of attention and feedback and accolades for your work, because by comparison to where I'm at in this fandom (and therefore where I base my opinion/viewpoint from), well, you are.
