Friending Policy



Fic and fandom-related stuff is mostly accessible (and I will try to keep it that way as long as possible) but I do love making new friends. I will friend back nearly everyone who friends me (unless you're a Russian bot) but sometimes it takes a while for me to notice. If you leave a comment here, maybe say a little bit about yourself and why we'd be BFFL, I'll get to it much sooner.

If you're here for the fic, I've started keeping my stories organized in separate masterlists by fandom:

Glee | Heroes | Veronica Mars

And, let's not lie - I love getting reviews or comments. It doesn't matter how old the story is, or what you have to say about it. I really do appreciate just knowing someone out there read something of mine.

Awesome? Awesome.

friends cut

So I just went ahead and did a massive, massive friends cut. If you can read this, you're probably not my friend anymore. And you know why? Here's a list of reasons you may have been cut:

For the fandom auctions going on right now, is anyone offering or know anyone who's offering beta/proofreading services for original fiction? I've seen a couple of listings but no names that I recognize, and I'm a little hesitant to bid on a total stranger.

Using Polls for Feedback on Fic

EDITED TO ADD: I went back and found the link to the post that made me decide to try this in the first place: I wish that writers left polls at the end of their work by [livejournal.com profile] gaudinight.

Before I start rambling, allow me to state that nothing I have to say is at all definitive or even remotely scientific. While I pretty much fail at research methods forever, at least I can offer a few reasons why:

  1. I do not always remember to include polls.
  2. My polling options are not always consistent.
  3. My polling options are quite often silly (i.e. remember that time [livejournal.com profile] metafandom told me I was good-looking?).


Still, while it might not be useful to examine the results I've gotten so far by using feedback polls, it's certainly interesting, and perhaps someone with a better mind for this sort of thing can take the ball and run with it, so to speak. )
