One of these days when I get the time, I'm going to be working on my web site, and I'm trying to decide what all to add to it. I decided it probably made sense to ask the people who use it what they want.
So, what do you want? Story summaries in the story index, a list of characters and what stories they appear in, personal ramblings on fanfic writing? Something else? Do tell.
The second question has to do with feedback. I had an email recently that led to some interesting conversations; the person wanted to know if I preferred reviews posted on ff.net or if I preferred to receive them via email. I really don't care myself, it's just great to get feedback. Personally, I leave reviews on ff.net (or geekfiction or whatever), unless I'm sending certain types of comments. (Usually something like they forgot to take out their beta's notes, or posted the wrong chapter, things that don't need to end up permanently attached to the story.) My reasoning is fairly simple - people skim the story listings and stories with more reviews tend to attract more readers, but the other person pointed out that people might feel more comfortable leaving an honest review if it wasn't public.
It got me wondering what other people thought about the subject. Do other writers have a preference? What about readers?
