i really don't understand this secret. is the fic unfulfilling? is it too short to get to the essence of things?author isn't good at ending stories?

also,author is allowed to write her/his fic exactly how she/he wants. they put effort into it,and it they think it's good for publishing,it is. god forbid someone writes for their own pleasure.

The fic is unfulfilling because it's incomplete. But the author never intends to complete it, so it's not a WIP. She writes ficlet fragments that could be really great as longer fics. But at least most ficlets have some kind of conclusion. She has no conclusion.

Yes, I know that the author is allowed to write what she wants how she wants when she wants. But it's frustrating for the me, reader, because I want more. I want to know how it ends. But I know there's not going to be more.

fwiw I don't think there's anything wrong with saying you wish there were more. It's not like you're calling the author a terrible person or acting like you're entitled to their updates. (that kind of behavior does bother me)

Basically yes her fics are often unfulfilling. I'm happy that she writes because she is an amazing writer BUT often she writes one short scene and nothing more. Her fics are basically short stories. No beginning, no ending, no background. She gives us a hint what could be happen but nothing more.

It is as if you get a look into a treasure chamber but after one minute you must leave with nothing in your hands except your poor imagination what could have been.

this.

ayrt

so basically she just writes scenes?i'm not in the fandom so i don't know her or her writing.

well,i can understand your frustration as a reader.i also could understand her,'cause i tend to write whatever comes into my mind without no backstory.maybe she can't commit to a story?

Yes only short scenes. Mostly 200-500 words. She has almost 150 short Teen Wolf fics with such a word range. Sometimes she writes a drabble in the same verse but this doesn't happens often. :(

It makes me sad.

(Anonymous) 2013-03-04 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Ok. What I don't get know is how come she's a "great writer" and people claim to "lover her fics". I read maybe one drabble in my life that I found memorable...
