Question - What I'm reading

I've had several people ask me in reviews for recommendations on other fics that I like, and as readers of my blog I'd like to ask you for your feedback. Would you like to see an addition to the blog involving other stories that I read. If I do this, I would not only be commenting on stories that I like,but also ones that I didn't and why. For those of you that have submitted reviews to me, even negative ones, you know that I'm not malicious. I figure that if I took the time to read a story, then why not say why I loved it, liked it, or it bugged the crap out of me.

Again, this is an idea I'm throwing around. Comments?

  1. I's appreciate a "What I'm reading"-feature in your blog. I'm always looking for new stories and like to know what other authors or readers I admire are reading.

    Comments on both story likes and dislikes are helpful too, in my humble opinion...

    It would be good to see what you're reading, and even comment on your thoughts about them.

  4. This is part of the reason I became a commentator on "The Fan Fiction Rebels Blog" lesser known fics that I think are wonderful - getting attention. It's totally a personal thing whether you like them or not.

    I also include interviews (short) with the author and a character i'm interested in interviewing...

    For me it's fun and i'm getting alot of good feedback.

    Hope this helped!

  5. I think that you should go for it. I don't mean to sound rude, but some authors need to get tougher skin and realize that all published authors, chefs, actors, etc deal with bad reviews. all of them. I feel that if you post your work and ask for a review you should prepare yourself for anything. But, it does need to be respectful. I know you would definitely be respectful, I am just saying that as long as the review is written respectfully, bad or good, there is no room for anyone to complain.

  6. I would be very interested in what you are reading. To be honest when I go looking for a new fic to read I always check out the authors favorite stories.
