Question of the day part 7

<< < (37/57) > >>

Sakabelle:
I would actually say that now I'm less picky as a reader than I was before. My tastes are pretty much the same, but now I give a lot more leeway on bad grammar/spelling and story flow.Also, back in the day there was a lot more fic to choose from, so I generally stuck with reading Nick romance stuff (even though I liked other genres, there was just a lot more to read) just because that was my favourite so that was what I wound up reading. Now, there's less to choose from so I have found I have more time almost to give things a chance that I would have waited on before just because I had so many trashy Nick stories to read, lol.

Do you base it on what people like to read or what you feel like writing and then does it bother you if you don't get the feedback or attention after you post it?

As a reader, do you tend to get excited if one of your favorite authors says they are going to post a new story despite the fact that you don't know what it's going to be about? If after they post it, you see it's not something you'd like to read, do you find yourself still clicking and reading just because they are one of your favorite authors and you added to the "yes can't wait to read so please post it soon!!" bugging lol

I know that's a lot of questions but I have learned to post while they are in my head!

I don't post straight away, I wait until I know where the story is going to go.  I've made the mistake in the past of just posting before I even know what the story is going to be fully about, and it never ended well.

I write what I want to write and the things that interest me.  Hopefully they appeal to others, but if not, then there's not a lot I can do about it.  Obviously I do like getting feedback, but I don't write just for that, I do it because it's something I enjoy.

I do have my favourite writers and I get excited when I see something new by them, but even some of my favourites have got lots of stories I haven't got around to reading yet.  I wouldn't read if I didn't enjoy it though, because that would be false of me to say "yay, I love it" if really I didn't.

I don't think my taste has changed much, but I don't click on everything like I used to!  When I first joined here and was finding my way around, I read all sorts of stuff as I got to know what kind of writers I liked.

mare:
I've gotten very picky over the years. I have a very small window of things I'm willing to read. I wish I wasn't as picky because every single story I have invested in, have been pretty much abandoned by their authors.

RokofAges75:
My tastes haven't really changed over the years, but like SakaSteph said, I probably read a wider variety of stories now just because there are less to choose from and, thus, less in my genres of choice.  At the same time, though, I'm a lot pickier than I used to be because my standards are higher.  Poor writing turns me off, and overdone cliches bore me.  It takes a well-written story with something new and different to keep me truly interested and entertained.
