Oooh, yes--I did a check-in post a while ago & thought I should possibly do another one, but... got sidetracked. o_O But yeah, I really liked hearing people's comments there & I'm glad to hear that it would be useful!
And YES, as someone still new to fic-writing, sharing is really hard for me. It's one thing if I've posted a fic--I can be scared that there are things that still I could've polished, etc. but posting it as a completed fic is me saying "OK, I'm done w/this, take it as you will." But asking for a beta or help or suggestions, while v. helpful, does make me feel much more vulnerable.
I write short (under 5k) works exclusively (or, at least so far), but that doesn't mean I'm any better at getting them finished, ahahaha.
Anyway: I will try to post something to the comm to gauge interest & get more suggestions sometime in the next few days. Huzzah!
