Big Pimpin' Pity Party
So this is something I've been wanting to do for a while now, and I hope y'all will all join in...
In comments to this post:
1. Pimp the story whose feedback most disappointed you. I don't mean your best story, or your worst story, or the story you guess could've been better. And I don't mean the story that got the least feedback. I mean the story that you thought would get more feedback, or felt should get more fb. The story for which you only got 2 reviews, and hoped you'd get 5, or the story you hoped would get 500, and only got 200. Even the story you wrote just so fandom would notice you--you included assbabies and kittens, just for those extra reviews--and then zada, zero, nil. Or 500, but not 20,000. Or even the one that got satisfying amounts of fb, but that you thought the Clem fans would flock to and the Clem fans ignored.
1a. Post a link to that story.
1b. Why’d you think it’d get more fb? What did you expect to appeal to and didn’t? Don’t be embarrassed to say how badass it was.
1c. Why d’you think it didn’t get that fb? Don’t be too proud to whine, complain, or feel sorry for yourself. Happens to the best of us, baby.
If you want:
2. Pimp a story by someone else you feel should’ve gotten more fb. Whether it’s a story you beta’ed, saw on your flist, or just randomly found. Again, not so much The Best Story Ever, as The Really Great Story No One Else Knows About.
2a. post a link or where to find the story.
2b. tell us about the praise/appeal of the story.
2c. tell us how under appreciated this person/story is.
3. Pimp this post. If there’s a lot, maybe I can compile and post a list of Unappreciated Gems Of Fandom, Which You Should Have Loved . . . For These Reasons.
Pimp yourself. Throw yourself a pity party. Ask why no one loved you. Or at least that one fic. I’m serious, here. Everyone has a fic they secretly cherish and feel sorry for, and occasionally pet with sparkly tears in their eyes . . . even if they never felt like they could ask the world why their little woobie story was so unloved. Now's your chance.
Pimp others, and offer them your hand so we can skip through the sunshine. Yes I am a fluffy mushlet; I don't care.

1b) I've re-read this story over several times since I wrote it a couple of years ago and I still think it's good. I think the writing is good. I think it evokes the disconnected, disjointed feeling I wanted it to. I don't know that I'd classify it as one of my best stories ever but I'm really proud of it and it's gotten so very little feedback. Like seriously 5 pieces of feedback or something.
1c)I think primarly because it's a Spawn fic (Spike/Dawn) and it's not a terribly popular pairing. It's also very angsty (sort of an everyone is dead thing) yet not an apocalypse-y story.
I'm going to troll my list of favorite stories and come back to do part 2! What a fantastic idea I can't wait to see the list you compile! I will pimp this for you.
