110, 112, 127,157
112. There are lots of things in a summary that will turn me away from clicking a fanfic, and those are all included. Everyone wants reviews, but there's just something about *demanding* them that's irksome.
127. Find yourself a message board or disscussion community -- I mean, there are only a few things that I go all out "fandom" (fanfic, rp, fanart) for, but there's lots of things I like to discuss. Start a converstaion with me about "The Chronicles of Narnia" and I'll talk your ear off, though my only "fandom" participation has been a couple of fanart illustrations and the "fandom" for those books/movies frankly scares me... Even in the thing that I "fandom" intensely (the anime/manga Trigun), I've gotten into message board threads disscussing everything from ideas on the series' philosophy to the fictional ecology of the world it takes place on. I'm sure you'll find disscussion friends for the things you like if you look. Don't feel bad. Not everybody's into the "creative fandom" aspect of everything they enjoy.
157. I'm in the same boat with some of my fics. I actually wind up leaving a lot of my old work available (some of it you have to dig for, some of it's right there on ff.net)... just because people enjoy it. I may think many of my old fics are mediocre, even downright bad, but as long as I know there are people who get pleasure from them, it's like, I don't want to take away their fun. I know the feeling of going back to search for some little fic I liked at some point and being all "Wha? It's not there anymore? T_T " "Good and Bad" in fic quality is rather subjective from person to person, and sometimes I know I like cheesey fics (guilty pleasures).
Maybe this is one of the reasons I am not into "fic/author snark" sites anymore? Authors aren't "bad" just because they have some Old Shame still up on their profiles - in fact, they may be leaving them up just because they don't want to spoil the fun for the people who enjoy them.
