fanfic 'I wish' list

<< < (5/7) > >>

Sakabelle:
I've seen it happen more on FanFiction.net than here, it might be because the people over there are younger, I don't really know.

RokofAges75:
I haven't seen it as much in recent years, but that used to be the thing to do back in the day.  It's definitely a teenybopper tactic.  I guess if you have to make threats to get feedback, you're probably not a great writer to begin with, or you'd be getting it anyway.

mare:
Yeah, I was going to say I remember seeing that a lot a long time ago. If you want an update I need this much feedback lol type of things.

Sam_noelle:
I wish authors who wrote a lot of suspense, and really good suspense didn't get suckered into writing a bunch of romance novels back to back to back.  ;D lol

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I don't understand how you can write SO much romance. I mean I get it if it's the side part to a bigger plot or you do it every once in a while, but there's only so many times you can regurgitate the same plot. Plus it's different now when all the boys are with someone and have been for a long time, there's just no pretending that Suzie Q exists anymore.

I agree with what people said about wishing that authors would finish something before they started another. I kind of get when that happens though, because as a writer new storylines and things pop up in your head and you suddenly get enamored with that new thing for awhile. I just hate when they get UNfinished forever.

I wish that there was more suspense.

I wish people would develop deeper storylines and characters, like there was some realness to it.

I wish when authors from a LONG time ago suddenly pop up with one new chapter to their great stories, claiming that they have the next three chapters written and that they're going back into writing and are going to finish a story, actually meant that when they said it. No one likes a tease. I've seen many authors do this, and it sucks for the reader. lol

mare:
Sam, i'm with you on wanting more suspense. I miss those days when there were so many stories to choose from. Even besides suspense maybe some action or medical dramas with no romance. I do miss the variety of way back when.

I don't mind when people write on more than one story at one time but when you have more than 4 I think it's a bit excessive, as long as you do actually update them all it's okay but if you replace one story with another and then another and they are all kind of just clones of the one you were writing before, then what's the point?

I know i'm guilty of not updating regularly but it's almost summer. Updates will come more frequently when I have the time, but i'm pretty sure my days of writing on more than one story at a time are over although I have been tempted to try it, I don't want to become one of the authors I just described. LOL
