WOOHOO ! Vul is a crasher! *hands vul a drink* welcome sweetie! : )

[Sagacious Rage]

You're fashionably late, Vul. It's cool. The rest of us are just the dorks who showed up when the party was supposed to start, but it didn't really start until you got here.

I didn't even know there was a party?    I'm assuming my invitation was lost in the mail, right?

Aww you were one of the first ones here! You were certainly on here before I was!

[Gilgamesh1138]

*hands Ette a drink* and you silly Ette, *HUGS*. You didn't need an invitation you are the party! : D

[Gilgamesh1138]

ROFL! Well I am a crasher too. I am late to the forum and I didn't get an invite. I figured I snuck in, since I stole hubby's account, and his DA:O game.

I'm not saying that's the only point, I was just complaining a bit 'cause my ego was feeling a bit bruised. I love the feedback I get from people in other avenues, even more so than reviews... but a stranger showing up and dropping their two cents is always nice Sorry, I didn't mean for my whining just to be about FF reviews, though I suppose it came off that way. I get other feedback, often of a more constructive nature, from other avenues.

Ah, ok. Sorry for misinterpretting and 'going on' like I think I did, upon re-reading. >.< It's good you've got other places to turn for feedback. But yes I agree... it's nice to just have some random pop in and tell you your story is the best thing since sliced bread and the remote control. Isn't it weird how we can feel so low when we get no attention, but someone throwing us a compliment can put us on top of the world?

We are odd creatures.

For me, the comments help keep me going. They add fuel to the writing fire and tell me people are enjoying what I'm writing. I don't write for the reviews, but they certainly help to encourage. I don't know how many times I've obsessed about something being wrong with a chapter because the # of reviews I received was down from previous chapters.

Agreed with all that. I can usually figure out why there are more/less reviews, though, so don't obsess too much unless it was a chapter I was *expecting* to get a large response. With an ongoing story in particular (mine, at least), I don't think you can have every chapter as a cliffhanger or with some *gasp* factor. Sometimes it'll be slow, even if it's well-written, and you'll get fewer reviews because of it.

I reckon if we all wrote 'Dragon Age: Days of our Lives' with love quadrilaterals, betrayals, murders and people coming back to life every other week, we'd be getting a huge response. ;D

Oh, and welcome to the party, Vul.

*hands out tiny little cocktail foods*

Oh that is very very true.  And logically, I know all that.  But when those self-doubt gremlins start to tap dance on your head, logic sort of takes a trip to the bathroom to pee.

And yes, welcome to the party, Vul.  As to the cocktail food, definitely weiners..  Just cant seem to ever have enough weiner* about.

*has dropped to that level....yes

[Gilgamesh1138]

ROFL! Oh my Tasmen! you crack me up..."logic takes a trip to the bathroom to pee." Priceless! Or the GoSD (Goblins of Self Doubt) duct tape it to a wall and force it to drink until it passes out. Those little boogers are pain.



On the other hand, both to Shadow and Tasmen, I LOVE your stories. And I feel terribly guilty for not reviewing. That goes for odie too. I have been so busy, I haven't been able to read. I PROMISE I am still just as in love as I was, but I haven't been able to carve out the time to keep up. It is a real pisser I tells ya. Because I feel horrible that I am contributing to the GoSD and their tap dancing! *gets out bat*

Welcome Vul, offers beer to go with Tasmen's cocktail food.

Sorry to all of you that I usually do review and to those of you who I have been slacking on reading your stories. Work has been crazy these last few weeks (I would kill for a day -even a weekend on call day- with less than 12 hours of work).

I'll even supply the duct tape for restraining the Goblins of Self Doubt, I might even be able to find a nice scotch to drown them in - I fear beer may be insufficient.

Personally, I find angsty writing is better fueled by wine and/or vodka (or as I call it...wodka).

[Sagacious Rage]

I prefer drinking enough coffee to float a boat and then writing for like 48 hours straight. And then I sleep for 5 days and repeat.

That's just because you are a wanna be hipster.  Next thing you know, you'll be writing fic on your iPad while you chat on IRC on your iPhone.

Ask your husband the next time he iTouch(es) you.

ROLFLMAO! Tas and Saga! I almost spit out my meade!



Tas, I like the wodka. : D

[Maria13]

I fuel my angsty writing with... Angst.



I was writing something sad just yesterday and ended up depressed. So I had half a beer...

Whenever I'm inspired to do anything (writing, sports, chasing life's simple joys, etc etc) it usually involves a certain amount of music, and its pretty much always a large amount of music.

Ok so I tried this but then he got angry and told me to never ask about the iBusiness. So thanks for that.

[Gilgamesh1138]

LMAO! Oh Saga, you made me spit up my coffee!



Slim, I and Ladyames also listen to music while writing. A lot of music! All right, show of hands, how many of you write to music?

Music is sort of mandatory for me to write as well.
