Revelations and Whining

Well, the Multiverse 2005 authors have been revealed (though the author index isn't up, the authors are now on the stories, so I can now put my stories up on my page.
A Dubious Ally
Ask Questions Afterwards

And now I'm going to whine. I got no feedback on these. Zero. Zilch. Nada. None. If I didn't happen to have looked at remarks by [livejournal.com profile] izhilzha and [livejournal.com profile] lady_smith about Multiverse, I wouldn't even have known that anybody had even read them or had any positive feelings about them. No, I'm not a feedback whore. I don't expect to be flooded with feedback, I don't hold stories hostage. But geeze! Not ONE SINGLE BIT OF FEEDBACK? Not even from the people I actually WROTE these stories FOR? Not even one single word?

I am seriously annoyed.

Part of the reason for keeping authors anonymous for a week is so that people can get genuine feedback, without just sending things because "XYZ is my friend". I like that idea.

I know, I know, I know, now I'm never going to know if people send feedback now because they heard my whine. It's just not fair.

HA! I thought A Dubious Ally sounded like you. *is smug*

I hope you get more feedback. I didn't leave any there, because most of the stories weren't ones I was interested in.

Huh. I thought I had sent feedback on "Ask Questions Afterward" (I didn't read the other one, not being familiar with Stargate), but maybe it was one of the ones I printed to read offline, and I didn't. (I fear I missed sending feedback to several stories, but I don't have any actual way to tell which I did and which I didn't.) I did like the characterization, anyway, especially of Leia.

I left feedback on a story and got an error which put me off trying again.

I had the same problem as [livejournal.com profile] vilakins. Though I think it was on the same story, so I don't know how widespread it was.

...I could have SWORN I left feedback on BOTH of those.

I thought I'd sent feedback on your second story, saying that I liked it, but I can't be sure.
