I want to receive feedback by : Comment on this post or ao3. (Comments are public on ao3 and screened on this post, to offer options for the visibility of the feedback.)
Here are the works I want feedback on: Anything on ao3 at https://archiveofourown.org/users/Rozzlynn
My works' fandoms and content notes are: The Magnus Archives, Golden Sun, Fire Emblem, Devil Survivor, Madoka Magica, Pokemon. Some fics include heavy violence and abuse, while others are fluff, so there's a range to choose from in terms of the content.
I have these questions for readers:
- How would you summarise what happened in the story? (Since this can help with judging whether the writing successfully communicates the story it's trying to tell.)
- What sort of emotions does it evoke for the reader, and do the characters' emotional arcs feel satisfying to read about (whether they're sympathetic, evoke mixed feelings, or delve into horror/condemnation territory in a way that feels cathartic - or whether any of that falls flat in places).
- Are there parts where the pacing and plot feel like they'd benefit from a few points being expanded upon for clarity, or condensed to be more concise?
- Are there parts that brought up expectations/potential that didn't feel like it was resolved - either in an open ending that works anyway, or in an ending that feels like it would be better with more resolution, or in a way that seems like it'd be worth exploring in a follow-up piece?
The style of feedback I prefer to receive is:
Feedback on how a story reads, especially clarity, pacing, emotional arcs and themes, plotholes and sense checking. What works well, and what could use more development. SPAG issues and other quick fixes are good too.
If there are times when it's hard to categorise one's feelings about a story into 'positive' and 'negative' columns, instead of just talking about subjective emotions, then this event could be a chance to chat without worrying whether you're correctly guessing what someone else might call 'negative' in the first place.
