Aw, thank you so much, Maye! I'm glad you enjoyed a bunch of these fics this past year! I hope there will be just as much in 2008 to share with others!
Hatsukoi would be filled with cheesy long, puppy dog eyes at each other and blushing and awkardness. And dates at crepe cafes in Harajuku, I think. ;D
Eheheheh. Oh Becca- I have grand plans to go to Japan in the summer to do a language course and while there write an original piece (which I have a title for already!)- though...I think it would be less historical and mostly...contemporary...possibly an attempt at a "coming of age" type thing, only...I don't know what a coming of age story is. *fails*
*hands you the shining star badge of awesomeness and sneaking*
I might try a different posting style for it in 2008, but I'm not sure at the present what precise direction that will be.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! NO! NO! NO! Please don't do anything different if it means I don't get my Rewind Forward fix! Do you realize that this is the first and probably the only time I've been so addicted to a fic that I check your journal specially EVERY FEW DAYS to see if it's been updated? Even on weeks where I don't even check my flist? If people aren't reading this fic, I'm just going to have to carry a banner for it, or something, saying "If you're not reading this, you're not reading!" I'm trying to be very, very good and not ask you when there's going to be an update because, hi, that is the most annoying thing in the world and I don't want to annoy, just salivate while I wait and pounce like a poison spider on the next big chunk and stay up reading until the wee hours and suffer the next day at work as I try and digest it all, then re-read it, hoping against hope that you'll have another
( ... )
OK, so wrapped up in angsting about Rewind Forward, that I forgot to mention that I really REALLY would love to see Hatsukoi and I can tell already that I'll probably have to read that one as a WIP, too. See, addiction does that to a person. :-)
Hee- oh, I'm still going to be posting RF, I just think it'll be slightly more regular, smaller updates. Like, two sections at a time mid-month, or something, starting in February...because I want to do Valentine's day, obviously, but...hm...
Oh my Hatsukoi idea- everyone, including you, seems to want it! even though it's a vague idea! Suppose this means I should think more about it, eh? ;D
*sputters* Oh, screw you. You do realise that's about two fantasy doorstep novels right there, yes?
I have no idea how much I wrote this year. Mostly because I failed at fic, overall, and spent a while waffling with original stuff. Only the bloody book shoved it into a respectful count of something over 50,000 words. :/
Please don't mention the publishing stats. They give me nightmares. All of the agent blogs I follow listed their queries/partials/fulls/clients taken on stats and they almost made me cry. D:
LOL. Yeah, it paid my rent and gave me books, but not much else. ;)
I'd work on it really hard for a period of time and mention and mention it try to get people excited, then I'd post and….nothing. Like…I could hear the crickets chirping. Or, people would be all "yeah I love it I read it!!" and say nothing still. Or just say nothing. And it hurt, often, and I'd lose motivation.
I wonder myself what is it with people these days...(sometimes including myself) I used to write fics too, but I've left it for a long time- I'm used to getting little to no comments...a few people I manage to meet face to face say that they like my fic, and later told me online that they're too shy to comment. I don't know what to think of that. It could be that everyone's busy with real life, or that maybe my stuff sucks, but after a while, I'm also beginning to feel that this is like, kind of $$ *frowns*...*insert whatever adjective you think of here*It really does hurt when you know there's actually people watching- (according to the counter I've put up at my site) -but just wouldn't speak up for whatever reason. I'd feel
( ... )
I've thought of using invisible counters before, Mango. And I may try one in the new year, just for kicks. But yeah...like you, I've heard the "I'm too shy" before and...yeah. *frowns with you*
Thank you so much! I hope in 2008 to produce some good things that you'll enjoy too! ^-^

If only I wrote nonfic, Ria, then I might have a hope in a million of publishing. Alas.
That one fic was pretty long of yours...besides, you've been working. That has to count for something!
