"I'm uncomfortable with this on so many levels..."
Anyone else have a thing against advertising their fic? It just seems weird to paste links to my stuff all over (like in the rec comms and stuff). I don't know why. If I ever became a published author I'd be screwed with all the publicity stuff. I hate it. Maybe I'm just weird.
Of course, I also get very few reviews on my stories but oh, well. Just wondering if I was alone?
Also because I wanted an excuse to post this video from iCarly. It cracks me up.
Yes, I'm easily amused.

If somebody asks something like, "does anybody know any stories with ___?" and I've written some, I'll share the links, but that's usually in a reply to one person's entry.
I know some people expect dozens and dozens of comments on their writing, but I feel pretty darn special to get eight or ten!

He's published several novels, a half-dozen volumes of poetry, and a book of short stories, but he frantically quashed his agent's scheme to get a single paragraph review of his first novel published in People magazine before it could come to pass. I knew then that he was not going to be following his buddy John Irving into the land of fantastic commercial success!
I have a terrible time pimping my own work. If I write comment fic, I view it as a bit of a gift to the recipient, and I kind of feel funny directing people off to their space to see my work, so I'd say about half of what I've written is known to only a select group of the author, and those people who came along to comment after I did.
