All this talk about old stories and writers has made me nostalgic and has made me go on a scavenger hunt for some of the old stories. It has also made me reflect on my "fan fiction life." I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here's my question for all of you: What was it like for you, both as a reader and/or writer, to send/receive that first feedback?
As I've mentioned before, my first feedback was sent to Chaos for "Ground Zero." I had the feeling that I wanted to say something, but I didn't know what to say. I just didn't want to sound stupid! So in an e-mail, I said I'm loving your story and thanks for sharing. I know, totally fangirl, right! But I really didn't know what to say. But, to my surprise, I got a reply from Chaos saying thanks, I would did I really like about the story. If not for that reply, I think most of my feedback/reviews would be like that first one. But I was given permission to discuss my thoughts with the creator of the story.....it was pretty heady for me!
So, what was your first time like?
