So, um.
1) If I were to post the first fic I ever wrote and never posted because trashed by beta, and if I posted it with notes by me on what bits of it I thought were bad but what bits were redeemable, but with no revisions just raw as was -- would you be interested in reading that?
2) And if I were to post a fic that was also deemed not quite there yet by 3 betas but if I discovered only afterwards that I can't be bothered changing it so if I were to post it unrevised and raw -- would that be terribly bad and against all beta etiquette?
3) And that big long Karl/Dom epic that was the bane and angst of my life for 6 months and never got posted because it is so full of holes and flaws that it resembles a Swiss cheese but I *am* fond of some of the bits in it... what to do about that? Should I rewrite it and redeem the good bits and work them into a new fic? Should I just post the good snippets at the risk of total incoherence? Or should I let it all go?
I know, I know. This sounds like a 'tell-me-you-love-me' post and a crassly transparent fishing for 'yes yes please post everything' comments, but I am truly unsure about this (except for 1 which I'm pretty much inclined to go ahead with) and I have been pondering this for months now. So no need to hit me with 'u rok post every bit of shite u've evah wroted' (although if you feel that urge, don't fight it...) but I'd be interested in whatever comments.
Thank you. Over and out.
