reading through the second person's feedback on my for-class fic "the belle and the ball" and suddenly feeling like a louse. what I did for their stories was mostly c&c, not so much commentary.
well, I have quite a few more stpories of other people's whom I have to imrpove on this.
see, they all really liked mine...
*sigh*
must be better. yes.
edit:
actually, it seems a few gave even less feedback than I had. But damn, what a great way to end a night, with a big pile of papers full of yummy compliments on a piece of one's own writing, and actually good ideas/feedback in someplaces...someone said one line came across as melodramatic; and I agree with them. only, the teracher didn't hand back my own turned-in copy, in which I had noted soem edits for myself, as well as the one spelling correction that sneaked by me and the spellcheck.
further edit: I think a few people were adding on commentary during class, I'm pretty sure only the teacher picked up on the varyiations in the diction- no one in our generation, at least, not in this class, is knowledgeable enough on that. Hell, it's the way the story wrote *itself*, I didn't force these terms into it, and I'll be damned if most of the country will be able to recognize a 1600's speech style or sleang from one from the 1800's, when it's only a few terms interspersed properly in a story. Goddess knows *I* can't.
