concrit_xI want to receive feedback by:
- Comment on my DW post in this community
- Comment where the work is published
- tumblr message (I’m Filigranka there)
- if you know me on other fandom platform, like discord, and prefer to reach me there, it’s fine.
Here are the works I want feedback on (optional: and my safe works are...):
https://archiveofourown.org/users/Filigranka - I have no safe works, feel free to comment on anything, drabbles. I write in Polish&English.
My works' fandoms and content notes are:
I write everything, from gen, fluff,worldbuilding and crack to very dark fics, including extreme underage, incest, non-con, torture, porn, unhealthy relationships, politics, black and black morality etc. – do, please, mind the warnings, tags and author’s notes.
My main fandoms in English are The Witcher (games), Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, Final Fantasy VII, Chronicles of Amber, Harry Potter, Silmarillion… But I’ve written single ficlets for other fandoms, too.
I have these questions for readers:
Any kind of feedback will be appreciated, but a general “SPAG mistakes” alone wouldn’t help me much, without examples or explanation of a specific SPAG problem.
Any comments about where I could have put more descriptions (and how to do it) would be very appreciated. I struggle with summaries, tags and titles a lot and will gladly take any advice about them.
I love all comments, including the formal, style-oriented, sentence-level ones, focused on the sentence flow, phonetics, grammar, paragraph structure, repetitions etc., so if you feel like going all nitpicky, don't restrain yourself. Also, if it’s possible, it’d be help me if the comment mentioned the better parts and aspects of my fics, too. I can make a long list of the things I do wrong, but I have no idea what, if anything, I do right.
I like chatting in comments, so I’ll gladly read (and reply to) any interpretations, views of the characters and their relationships, digressions and side-discussions about worldbuilding, charactes or canon. Or your stream-of-consciousness-like impression about the fic.
Side-note: I love drabbles, getting a con-crit-treat on them would be just as awesome as critique on longer works.
I would prefer gentle (5) or direct (1) feedback, or something in between:
5-1, anything is fine.

Date: 2020-09-09 02:48 pm (UTC)I definitely have the problem with tense-switching, I'm fighting a continuous battle with it (I see some progress, even! ;)). in Polish, mixing tenses is how we convey some time-relations between events and while intellectually I know it's something which is a big NO in English grammar, I still do it. Or sometimes I just made a typo and forget the "-ed", I admit. I will give this fic another pass and try to catch as many instances of it as I can, thank you for the notice!
Thank you very, very much, especially (but only, of course) for the praise of my beginning - I tend to think of my openings as weak, but perhaps it's because I think of them all, at some general writer level, and get irritated that I use a few same-y tricks/devices. The comments in this round, all praising my openings, helped me realised it doesn't really matter so much for the reader - if a device works, then it works, even it it's not most original rhetoric figure. It gave a big boost in self-confidence, thank you very, very much!
