One of my recipients made no comment or acknowledgment :(  Maybe she's out of town? Or LIVING or something;) Hate to think it wasn't liked, but hey, it happens, a lot I bet. It's not that big a thing - it just happened that this was the story I ended up being the least certain about. Annnd also, I figure the journal's here for whining, if that's what I want to do. So I did. Whine in it.  

But in the main, my recipients seemed to really enjoy the stories, especially the story I actually planned. That one seemed ECSTATIC and it was wonderful, made me very happy!

Anybody done one of those year end things re: your art, vids, writing, whatever? If you have I'd like to see! I might have missed it.

Well, the longest, planned story got less reaction than the one I'm talking about, actually, but I sort of expected it. And the great thing was that the recipient was over the moon about it:) It makes all the difference.

This one I'm whining about got a couple of lovely comments, but I guess I'm unsure of it enough that it makes a difference. At which point I really am whining, but I love that very tiny almost non-existent fandom very much and I think it's HARD to write and get tone right. And as I said I'm not sure of it, so I'm probably wanting petting over something not very good:(

I TOLD YOU IT WAS WHINING, so you can't say you weren't warned! xoxoxoxo, me

Like greenlady2 says, your LJ, whine at will. :) But I know what you mean. I suppose it's inevitable that some stories aren't as wall-written as others, relatively speaking. Doesn't mean it's bad--as the ones who did comment obviously thought. :)

Of course, easy for me to tell you that, even as I'm having some second thoughts myself. :-P Not because of the recipient, who left a wonderful comment and even recced it. But I rushed at the end and I'd dearly love the opportunity for a do-over. *sigh* Maybe the recipient won't mind me taking another bite at the apple after the reveal, we'll see.

ah, sweetie, you can always still edit if you really feel the need. If you're anything like me, it'll bug you to death until you do it, anyway. If the end's a big change, I suppose a heads up to the recipient would be best. If I were the recipient, you'd have my blessing to do so.

But believe me, I understand what you're saying.
