Animation Source Forums

I've posted some of my work on here before, in fact just a few posts down there's one, but havn't really gotten anybody to look at my stuff or give me coment on it. I don't mean to be winey about not getting posts on my messages, but it really hurts when it feels like nobody wants to even look at your writing. I'm just hoping that this message will get a few people to pay more than a passing glace to me, and possibly make a few friends here in the process.

Not to be rude, but it does come across as whiney, hate to tell you. I used to feel the same way, but once you actually post it in your own Fan Fic Gallery, more people tend to notice. But making a board about it, is even more ridiculous. If you look at the views on your board, and they are more than the posts, that means more people read the board, they just didn't post.

I'm sorry that people are ignoring you. To be honest, your story is really good.

I guess it just takes time, I posted a teaser here a while back and got less-than 10 replys, once you've got your fan-fic gallery up if you go read other writers stories and ask if they will view yours you'll get plenty of replies, I promise to read 'em once there up.

i didn't even know you had any.

I just read your teaser and it was really interesting . I would like to see what happens next. .

I read the teaser too i can't wait for it to be finished!

Getting recognition isn't going to happen over night. These things take time and if you wait and don't complain, people will take the time to read your fics.

No offense to you, but it does sound whiney to me. I have an account on fanfiction, and trust me, it took awhile for people to start reading and reviewing my stories. All of the best writers on Balto Source had to start somewhere, and I'm sure that they're stories' popularity didn't happen right away. You just have to give people time to read them, that's all.

I know exactly how you feel, but I get comments sometimes.

I want to whine.

I got one Fav add in my Fanfic gallery!! lo...wanted to get at the bottom...


Anyway I've read your Dog. Vs. wolf and I liked from it

This is a little..well I might not be someone but things like this take time it may by slow but it takes time, in reality pouplar things didn't just get great it takes awhile. I have my own your teaser is good just wait a little things will work out foryou! Don't worry.

Its ok, this stuff wont happen over night i'm currantly not getting verymany comments on my fics either but no matter what i'll never stop writing fics even if the one I worked the hardest on is not noticed. that aside here are some tips:
Befor you read the tips remember "good things come to those who wait"

-people like to read stories with a good plot.
Dont make a storie that you want to rush into. Take time for a good plot a cook up. Even though you might be excited of what you come up with and dont want anyone to "steal" your idea post a board about it.

-people dont like to read really short stories that all the action happens in one page then its over type thing.
Dont write a one-paged storie with all the action in it. Take the time to explain whats going on and make it easy for the reader to follow.

-people dont like to read these "hi ppl" or "r u comming"
These are really bad in stories and you should NEVER use them in a storie. They are extreamly annoying. enough said.

-people like propper puncuation.
people dont want to read "we was chassin a rabbit" instead make the character say "We were chassing the the rabbit" if english is not your native language then errors like that are understandable.

-Use interesting characters
People like to read stories with interesting characters and the things they do. Again take time to think of a character and what its like. It you have an art gallerie then put your character in there.

-Good derctiptions or the story
Put a good description of your storie sutch as no one-liners and make it easy-to-read paraghraph.

-complaments
If you comment on people's writing then they may comment on yours.Also comment on fics that you actually read and not a comment like "nice fic" instead be more honest with what you thought of the fic and give a smal critiqu if nessasary. like "Awsome fic but you seemed to be rushing things a bit." remember not to spoile it for the others.

-advartising
Advartise your fic. Post it on the boards, ask others to please read it. If it seems that everyone is waiting for fics by the "great" writers then dont be disscouraged and keep trying just dont keep making the same topic.
-Be literate
Be literate meaning explain whats going on like He ran to the barn. instead say He ran to the barn hastily his heart pounded and he was panting hevily
