Holiday feedback-a-thon

[amari_z]

Because I'm so busy at work I should be crying and have instead chosen to procrastinate, now seems the perfect time to post this.

I've been thinking about feedback recently, and how it can make a normally fairly levelheaded writer climb the walls, so, since I don't celebrate any of these end of the year holidays, but know that the vast majority of you do--I present to you a holiday feedback-a-thon, which I've shamelessly stolen from other lj people (but I forget who).

How it works: Leave a comment to this post with a link to a story you've written that you'd like me to read and leave feedback for. Please keep in mind that fic in fandoms I'm not familiar with will result in less interesting feedback. If you're unsure whether I would be interested in a particular story, feel free to just ask, or to leave a "back-up" second story from a fandom you know I'm familiar with. Also, unless you state otherwise, this is positive feedback. If you want con-crit or to ask if specific things worked, please ask for it (and please really mean it).

What I will do: I will read all fic and leave a minimum of a paragraph of feedback, although I make no promise on how swiftly I will respond.

Some of the fandoms:
King Arthur
Star Wars
Hornblower (but not the books so much)
Fantastic Four (I only really know the movie, but I'll read anything)
Firefly
Supernatural
Mythology
Mary Renault
Sharpe
BSG
Rome

There are a lot of others, so if you have something else in mind, just ask. I'm also familiar with a lot anime fandoms, but listing them all here will tax my brain.

You don't have to be on my friends list to ask for feedback—although it would be nice if we've at least exchanged some kind of communication before.

If there are any questions, feel free to ask.

Happy Holidays!

I would adore feedback of any sort, because really, it makes me pleased! And I won't even link a huge one!

Memento

Gawain/Galahad. Short.

Hey! I know you meant this solely for amari_z to respond to, but just had to let you know I loved this piece. Nice to see those two grown a bit older and more circumspect. I quite like the idea of Gally deciding he needed to be on his own for a bit, and Gawain actually letting him go.

And I've always thought someone ought to write The Continuing Adventures of Galahad and Gawain. Sounds like a B-level syndicated TV series, I know, but hey...

[andrealyn]

Heee, the sad thing is that I have so many ideas, but my interest sort of schismed into about six different fandoms, so I still want to write it, it's just so slow-going.

And I'm super glad you enjoyed!

I’m posting this here, since I’m not sure where else to post. If anyone is reading this who hasn’t read the story, *SPOILERS.*

I liked the idea of this one. Setting the story after Arthur’s death was a nice touch, and it was interesting to see what the knights might have made of themselves as they grew older. I also very much liked the idea of tying Gawain’s memories to scars—not those inflicted by enemies, but those inflicted by friends. (Fitting, for the type of friends he had, I suppose. = ) . )The details you included were also very nice: The boy that had fetched him trailed at his side, seemingly fixated on Gawain's sword ; the unwelcome Roman funeral guests; and poor Gawain being somehow stuck with planning the funeral.

Thanks for linking the fic—I enjoyed reading it!

[andrealyn]

Thank you!!

OMG you rock! I'll have to think long and hard before I decide how to abuse your generosity. Hmmm...should I inflict my Power Rangers emo angst-o-rama on you? For some strange reason, no one seems to feedback that. Don't know why...

[amari-z.livejournal.com]

Err, sure, I suppose, if you really want to. Although my knowledge of Power Rangers is pretty much limited to seeing my cousins run around with the action figures. ; )

[ivy03.livejournal.com]

Don't worry -- I'd rather burn my own eyes out than have anyone ever read that story again.

[ivy03.livejournal.com]

OK, coming in really late with a request... (I had to cogitate on it for awhile, you see.)

If you've seen the movie Constantine (or even not, really), I'd love feedback on The Third Day.

Or, if you prefer something shorter, Flesh and Blood, which is Supernatural.

I'd love to return the favor if you let me know what story of yours you'd like feedback on.

[amari-z.livejournal.com]

Done. I picked the SN one, since I haven’t seen Constantine.

[sasha-b.livejournal.com]

I shall give you a few choices because I'm a feedback whore and I love you for doing this.

Spirit.

Hornblower: Playing At Games.

And because it includes beardless L, The Bet.

*squishes* You're awesome to do this. :)))) I shall have to do it as well.

[amari-z.livejournal.com]

You had to know I’d pick the beardless Lancelot one. Done.

[sasha-b.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[dea-liberty.livejournal.com]

...and the ultimate question when it comes to the Supernatural. The 'cest or not the 'cest variety? I have some of either that I'd love to have you look at.

[amari-z.livejournal.com]

I read pretty much anything, but if you do send me d/s, I'd prefer it not be just a pwp.

[dea-liberty.livejournal.com]

Hee :D I'll give you the choice ^_^

http://tigers-prowl.livejournal.com/55266.html <-- Say You Understand {I Never Had This Planned}. This is explicit incest but it's definitely not a PWP.

If you're not comfortable with that, though (which is completely understandable), Veritas Vos Liberabit is a gen fic --> http://tigers-prowl.livejournal.com/54883.html

Thanks so much for this and if you'd like me to return the favour, just link me :D

[amari-z.livejournal.com]

I picked the latter, mainly because it had a Latin title. :p Done.

[dea-liberty.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, honey! :D

[gwenn-b.livejournal.com]

This is really a great idea - and I hope you don't mind, but I'm shamelessly stealing it! *winks*

Ok, I'm not writing much lately, so I'll go with some old fics. Three pieces, you choose which one you'd like to read.

Under the Sky: Lancelot/OC romance, the longest fic I've ever writen (and my favorite too).

Galahad's Words: angst Arthur fic, post movie.

Find You: Lancelot/OC romance (my first and so far only sex scene)

Just forget about the grammar/spelling mistakes and pretend I can write in English, lol!

[amari-z.livejournal.com]

I did the middle one, because I clicked on that one first. As I said in the post, your English is very good!
