Preening my feathers rather audaciously.

LJ still seems very quiet to me. People must be on spring break or something.

The Giant Entry about Fanfiction Mistakes was a nice fandom milestone for me. I feel like I really accomplished something. It was mentioned in the HP newsletters quickquotes and daily_snitch, a LotR newsletter called four_lobsters, a new generic fanfiction community called teaching_fandom, and another writing community called shy_writers in the LJ world. I uploaded a link to The Potions Master's Muse, which is a SS/OFC Yahoo mailing list, and it may end up on Sycophant Hex as an essay.

I would be so honored if it turned up on SH. That would be wonderful.

I'm still sad about the way I ended up having to structure it. As is reads now, the first half is boring, and the second half is much more interesting. I originally had it the other way around, but it seemed awkward to transition from details to broad points, so I switched it. Now I wonder if some of the readers gave up because it seemed really generic and boring in the beginning. The second half seems a lot more lively to me.

Most people mentioned its positivity, and several people mentioned the POV section as being very helpful. I actually didn't expect that at all, because I thought that the POV section was so sketchy. I mean, there is so much more that can be said about POVs and tenses. But I'm glad that people responded so nicely. I really did enjoy writing it. There were a few additional suggestions that I will fit in later, like songfics (thanks, pandora_nervosa!).
