Fic Positivity Feedback Meme

~*~*~FIC POSITIVITY~*~*~

inspired by previous feedback memes

since leaving authors positive comments is all the rage right now, this is a catch-all feedback meme for all any of your favorite authors! want to compliment an author's writing in general, not just a specific fic? this is the place to do it!

anonymous commenting is on.


1. writers: leave a comment with your username, writing journal, comm, or ao3. please also mention if you'd like constructive criticism since concrit can be positive!

          dreamwidth: <user name="username">
          livejournal: <user name="username" site="livejournal.com">
          ao3: <user name="username" site="archiveofourown.org">

you can link your thread by copying the link in the (link) section of the comment, and pasting it elsewhere to plug your thread!

2. readers and commenters: leave a reply to the individual writer's thread (this can be done by clicking "reply to this" of the writer's comment to ensure that your reply is going to the right place) with your positive feedback.

please respect the authors' wishes if they would like concrit or not.

I ❤️ you & all your work so, so much. You don't get half enough credit for all you do for femslash fandom, nor, I think, do you give yourself half the credit you deserve.

(I feel like I'm making a Bilbo speech here! 😊)

On a specific fic note, I just want to reiterate my adoration for Sisters Such As Us. I particularly, on later rereadings, enjoyed Anairë's self-consciousness, the way she compares herself to Eärwen. Little details like Anairë running her fingers through Eärwen's hair, hoping her rough hands won't bother her, really made that fic sing for me.

Oh gosh! ♥♥♥ I don't know about the credit thing, but I absolutely ♥ you and your writing back! And don't worry about the Bilbo speech, that actually made me giggle (even if I don't feel like I can judge the credit thing in any way, your saying that is so appreciated!)

And I'm still happy you loved Sisters! Full confession: I had something much longer and more ambitious planned that ran into time constraints and a bit of fretting on my side because there already was a Finduilas-as-Gil-galad fic (the draft of which I still have in my files and am pondering to finish at some point), so this one was a bit of on-the-fly backstory exploration - something I'd had in my head for a long time and always wanted to write down, because I adore Anairë and Eärwen so much, and your letter gave me the perfect opportunity to do so! So, thank you for that as well, and for letting me shake out how I felt it might have gone - especially regarding the fact that they are sisters-in-law, something I might otherwise have glossed over. ^^ ♥
