A meme, of sorts

[apocalypsos]

dragonsinger pointed out something that I've noticed, too -- that there's just not enough feedback being given on communities like fanfic100, crossovers100, au100, and originalfic100. Tons of great fic -- the quantity of which might, I imagine, be throwing people off -- but just not nearly enough feedback.

So, I was thinking. Here's the Big Damn Tables/Lists for each community:

Fanfic100
Crossovers100
Au100
Originalfic100

Go check them out. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to leave feedback. Lots of it, a little of it, on one story or on every story (and if you manage that one, more power to you). If you really want to make someone feel like a million bucks, pick one of the smaller fandoms that you know a bit about and pick a story or two at random to leave feedback for. I signed up for Terminator knowing full well there weren't a lot of people aside from me who'd be interested, but did it for the love of the fandom, like I believe a lot of other small fandom writers who've signed up felt.

The fact that there are so many people out there taking on such a huge challenge should be encouraged. Please, go over and check them out. There really is a lot of great stuff to read, in fandoms you never thought you'd see fic in. (The crossovers100 and au100 BDTs don't have links to the authors's own BDTs for their dibs, but if the authors are anything like me, they're linked in their memories.)

And pass this idea around to your friends. If joining these communities could become such a big trend, surely leaving feedback for them could as well. :)

Yay!

waitaminute. That means more work! D:

Anyway, OF100 requires an intro paragraph, which is looked over and approved before people get to post.

We'll accept any sort of genre. Superheroes, love stories, surreal fiction, fantasy...all we lack right now is good hard sci-fi.
