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...

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!

Thank you!!
