You didn't REALLY quit writing fan fiction did you?

Sounds like a good idea to me... Of course, there are some fics
where I
would take ANY feedback, mean or not.

I think I got a single comment here when I posted the prologue for
a
new fic back in January. Not exactly encouraging. (Compare that to
the
30+ reviews I've gotten so far for a BtVS/James Bond crossover
I've
posted elsewhere... (No B/W content so that won't end up here).
I'm
almost wondering if I even want to post the next part here. I
could
just e-mail it to the couple interested parties.)

I understand some of the rant... but I don't think you can force "growth" in a community like this one. Not everyone feels inspired
to
write or create something centered around something they enjoy.
And not
every fic connects with everyone.
