Pushy People
Mood:  irritated
I haven't really used my blog since I first got it. I never thought I had anything pointful to actually talk about. But there's been something that's really been bugging me that I feel like writting about it. Okay, here it goes.

It's not that I don't appreaciate the reviews people leave me. If anything, I live for them but recently people have been a little pushy. And I mean pushy in the sense that they want me to post my updates faster, with less time in between. I'm not saying that I get annoyed by the "please update soon"'s. No, I'm talking about the reviews that either badger me to post a new chapter or the ones that suggest I update faster or they'll forget about my fic.

Give me a break.

I'm in my third year of university, and I write fanfic as a HOBBY, as a way to wind down. I don't need the added stress of a weekly deadline to post my updates. There's a certain quality of writing that I want for each chapter and that takes time. I do the best that I can but I can't just pull fabulous chapters out of my ass. So if the two week or three week gaps get to you, I've already apologized about the wait but I'm not gonna kill myself just to get my chapters up a week earlier.

With that said and with my blood no longer boiling, I will still say that I appreciate any kind of review I get. However, let the review reflect what I wrote and not the pace at which I write. Afterall, I'm only human.

New Kid On the Block
Mood:  a-ok
Now Playing: Nothing
Just started up this blog, so I figured I should at least write something. Problem is, I've got nothing to write about. Actually that's not true. I could write about how I just started writing fanfic and how I'm new ti the fanficdom. Is that the right word for it? Whatever. I've been writing since at least a year ago but I didn't get the courage to actually make them public until this past March. I was a little insecure that my stories wouldn't be good enough. The reviews I've gotten have told me otherwise. What really knocked me on my ass though was when other writers whose fanfics I've followed and cherished since I started reading fanfic actually said that they liked my stories! I love Spuffy and I'm very happy to be part of the community. So to whoever is actually reading this, thank you.
