A little bit of grr, a little bit of argh

I have 4 fics for "Inception" -- only one of which has gotten reviews on ff.net. the other three have strong hit numbers, have been favorited...everything but reviews. What does that meeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaan?

How do ya'll feel, fellow fic-writers, when you this happens to you? One the one hand it's frustrating not getting reviews on stories posted to lj since there's little way of knowing who's reading or bookmarking your work. On the other hand, there's the frustration of knowing ppl are reading your work on ff.net and having to wonder why the heck they won't say yea or nay about it!


Argh!

Then again, maybe this doesn't happen to you guys. Meep.

I've lucked up by posting novels when jumping to a new universe. Eventually somebody leaves a comment when confronted with a cliffhanger.

But I'm not reading any Inception at FF.net so I skipped reading those stories when the alerts showed up in inbox.

I don't expect ppl who sign up for my author alerts to read my other stuff, too. I figure they like me for whatever fandom they were reading at the moment, or whatever I have a lot of, and hope that some day, some day, I'll write another. Mostly I wonder about the ppl in the new fandom who, y'know, are looking for new fic. In theory. And not liking mine enough to say so :(

I know... whine whine, weep moan, bah.

And you are right about novel-posting. lol! Eventually someone jumps on board and wants to know when the heck you're posting something new :)
