It makes me happy you enjoy these kinds of posts. I really like to know what people think, and the best kind of way to get stories to enjoy is to sneakily ask for them *g*

And there is definitely a nice middle-ground to be had between "i'm a terrible writer, boo hoo" and "i am the most popular writer in fandom" which we should all feel at ease in accessing.

I agree. There's nothing attractive at thinking you're the best ever, or at saying you suck while posting anyway. But yeah, the middle ground is good.

Oh, story! And see, sneakily finding links to read.

I think what I'm most proud of is I wrote Gerard as having major depression ( which is canon ) and people have been commenting and saying how realistic the writing is. I was very much aware that depression is a serious illness and it would have been easy to get all over blown and woe is me, and from the reactions I've received. I didn't do that.

I'm also proud that people picked up concepts that I'd planned from the start. I wanted to have a link and contrast between the two groups. Mikey and Gee who are trapped in a decaying lifeless house, and the other three, who work for a gardening firm and are about light and life.

That people picked up on that. That pleased me so much. It's like, my words were enough to get a concept across, and that's so cool.

I'm lame, I know this.
