Eheh. I bombed like anything, but I got some great feedback, and invaluable insight into what I could and couldn't make work there. (Frankly, before it was over, I was more nervous that the tide would suddenly turn and I'd be accepted, trying to assimilate all that C&C in a short amount of time and debut would have driven me batty. )
... Um. That was supposed to sound more encouraging than it actually was. *ahem* What I think I intended to say was, even if it does get taken out (but I'm crossing my fingers for you that you don't - you seem pretty spot-on with what I've seen you write), persistance and self-evaluation can definitely pay off, sometimes you can make an awesome impression on the rebound, and have more confidence for it...?
As long as you're not a Mighty Ducks character oh god I felt so sorry for that mun.
... Guh. I'm sorry, I was trying to be comforting, wasn't I? Um. Crap. ._.;
Yeah, they do give great concrit there. I was stalking the voting posts in an attempt to figure out what, exactly, was the difference between the apps that made it and they ones that didn't.
I think I'm more nervous than I would be over any other type of writing because I don't usually do first-person, and certain aspects of the character were way, way hard to translate to a journal post.
It was the saddest thing ever. I can't remember exactly when it was-- sometime after we dumped Lina-- but once when I was on IRC someone remembered and linked me, because wow, we are bitches. Remind me if you can't find it.

And I kinda want to read it, if you remember how long ago it was.
