Khazar, good luck on posting on FF.net. The people there aren't always the nicest folk in the world. There's just no pleasing some people, and those types seem to hang out there. It would be a better place if they actually moderated the comments people can post, but with all the stories that are archived there, that would be a very big job.
Well, considering nobody seems to have noticed my stuff there, that doesn't seem to be an issue. I also have things at a place called "An Archive of our Own" where the only Nazgul fics are Gentlemen & Vulgarweed's things.
The funny thing I'm finding is the difference between the fandoms. Tolkien fans are writers. Well, they try, anyway.
The Dragon Age people are more artists than writers. As such approaching things like a writer throws them off. There's tons & tons of art, but the fics themselves fall into one of two groups: retelling the story they played, and PWP. So here I come, with things that are extrapolated from what's suggested in-game, and people are--"huh?" I get tons of hits, but not many comments. And my last little bit of flash fic gave people conniptions. It didn't help that I really provoked a fight by saying that a woman who marries the king for the sole reason of grabbing power for herself & her father is just an expensive whore. That got me kicked off a couple of groups. Never mind that the woman in question is so icy in game that she'd turn Mt Doom into a freaking glacier. ;D
Different world.
