If you’re ever like “but what do fic writers even WANT.”
a book report
They want a book report.
They want you to get 9th grade English up in their shit.
Remember having to write ad nauseam about the symbolism of that stupid conch in Lord of the Flies? They want you to do that about Steve Roger’s shield and Emma Swan’s jacket.
WHoa seriously?? People WANT this?
Holy crap, I always thought I’d be really rude to leave an overly long comment on something, or it’d just be super creepy for me to babble a load of emotional attatchment I had to their product, or all my wild fan theories which are probably wrong…
I mean.. I know if I ever created something I’d wanna see comments like that, but I’m a weirdo and I haven’t even created anything anyway so what do I know?
Umm.. yeah.. so… at my followers and friends and stuff: does anyone agree with this? Do I have permission to really ramble embarrassingly and honestly when I like your stuff, or would you prefer short and semi-rational comments?I agree! I really like to read people toughts on my stuff, no matter the writing style.
I always LOVE knowing that readers understand why I chose certain ways of getting things across! I also love seeing which bits OTHER PEOPLE liked best! Since I’m the author, I’m biased. I either think my work is brilliant or I have crushing doubts.
So – whichever you want, or feel comfortable with!
Most writers want this. Fanfic writers. Fiction Writers. Non Fiction Writers. Poets. Song Writers. The whole writing scene.
We’re all desperately craving feedback. That’s why so many writers want reviews. So we know what you thought about the book and what you liked or disliked about it.
Yes
I really want to know what particularly people liked so I can do more of it. And what people think is gonna to happen next and/or what something means.
I am terrible at doing it for other people though, my thoughts kinda freeze I have performance anxiety when giving feedback/reviews lol
