Don't worry; people will re-read your fic, or new people will find it and read the updated text. ^_^

I go back in and edit my fics all the time, because I'm no impatient to publish. I think I average between 200-500 words written post update for every chapter, lol.

Ouch. That's cruel. If I read your stuff, I'd be refreshing the page for your fics for *days*, hoping for a mini update.

Yeah, it was impatience. I knew my story needed just a little more, but I had to work up the nerve to write it.

lol, It's the perfectionist in me. I always find stuff that needs improving.

OP: Oh, me, too! Which is why, as I said, I'm grateful all the little editing tweaks don't spam the list.

Why do I need to anti-Britpick when I'm not British? That's just wrong. (And is it Ameripick, or what?)

I hate it when people abandon threads or ignore them.

A prompt on here really spoke to me but I needed to do a lot of work in term to research and prep to fill it because it was such a complicated topic for me (involving intersectional oppression) and by the time I had my opening written out I really wanted feed back and to share it with the anon who prompted because I'd worked so hard on it.

And nothing.
It's on my back burner so I add a couple hundred words to it every few weeks, and I go back to the post every time and nothing.

Like the hell? I couldn't drop with prompt now if I want to, it means so much to me and it's going to be such a good story but I can't get any support for writing it, not even form the person who wanted the damn thing to exist in the first place.

I really wish I was better with community building so I had more people to bitch about this stuff with in private. You know? As a community of both readers and writers without too much overlap I don't think we should be airing our dirty laundry in front of each other. It just seems like a way to sew negativity.

But on the other side I was just on a chat community for AO3 writers and when I brought this up I was told to be grateful for the lurkers or any responce I got. Which like??? Ugh.

I'm allowed to feel disappointed and unfulfilled when I post what I write here or elsewhere.

Honey it's an anon kinkmeme. We don't get notifications if people post in a dead thread or something from a couple of rounds ago. Did you post the bit your wrote, and then announce it in the WIP thread?

Why not post a link to it here, and see if the OP sees it? Or, maybe they've left the fandom. Who knows.
