merged story, it belongs in books, set in Anita Blake's universe

Not to mention it's not even FINISHED yet.

Totally agree with Cal. Besides, the stuff that we leave here should certainly point to the fact that we don't QC, nor censor.

I actually didn't create the term. It's been around for quite awhile.

fanpoodles are not so much empty reviews, although that's what they tend to leave, is meaningless reviews, but the clique of reviewers who "squee" for no apparent reason, and review and make popular some absolutely DREADFUL writing. Yet, because it's (the story) for a popular pair, for example, it'll get reviewed and highly rated whether or not it actually deserves it. What's even worse, is that often, the writers who HAVE all the fanpoodle following tend to be rather divaish in behavior. To me, they don't so much seem to be writing for the craft of it, but more for the ego boost. I suppose as someone who cut their reading teeth on the likes of Homer, Asimov, and Tolkien, I tend to be a tad picky...

author's profile

As to beta readers, there are some good ones out there, but they're not easy to find. You do build up a relationship with your beta, to be sure. I know when I used to do this, I'd take on anything from a drabble, to multi chapter (with loooong chapters), without issue. But that would be when I had the time to actually beta read, and give the author who sent me the work my full attention.

yep, and now they're really deleted

*sighs* I did mention it can take me up to 48 hours to do this, in the mail I sent back.
