Re: 50/50
(Anonymous) 2015-12-20 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)1) I think you wrote a very diplomatic reply.
2) Is this culture for fanwriters actively involved in the fandom? Or...how does that work? I never really know anything about the authors beyond the responses they may choose to leave for a review I've left.
As a reader who occasionally reviews, I tend to tell the author that I enjoyed the story, can't wait, etc. or ask if they're planning to address certain issues their plot brought up/give my general opinion. I don't think I've ever expected an author to take my suggestions/inquiries to the fic itself. If they respond, that's usually it. But I never enter a fic expecting it to turn out the way I, the reader, necessarily wants it to be. As a writer, I let the story play out. And while I'm curious to know how readers think the story should go, and I'm glad they're enjoying the story, if they think I'm going to cater the story to them...That won't really happen unless I make it explicitly clear--i.e. "A/N: what do you think should happen next? Review!". Besides, I usually have the story vaguely planned out before I begin to post. I just always hope people will enjoy it.
Not trying to start any wank. Just curious and sharing my experience on both ends.
