As for feedback - I'm getting very little for my "Kryptonite" at the minute, and it really does shoot you down, even though it shouldn't. I know in theory you "write for yourself", but once you put it out there it becomes public property, and a lack of feedback just makes me think "people don't like it enough to comment - it's terrible". The best way to deal with that, I found, was to bite the bullet, swallow my pride and actually put in an author's note how the lack of feedback was making me feel, and how, actually, I did really need it.

The response was amazing. The people came out in force, and even though I've never got as many as I did then, I kow they're there, reading but not commenting.

As for fandom - I've found it really invigorating bringing the Eleventh Doctor into my Fix-It. The whole new fandom is just so much fun! I'd love to see you write some Doctor fic, I think with your penchance for amazingly brilliant and believable dialogue that would just be the cherry on the top of my fanfiction cae!
