I posted my lemons on these forums, asked specifically for replies even if they were just "cool" or "excellent" ... they sat there for weeks on end, and only people I know from the chat bothered to reply.
That's because you work with original characters. I don't know about others, but I came here to read Digimon lemons, about already existing characters. It's fine when we're talking about one or two originals, but when I spot too many unfamiliar names, I just press the "Back" button.
I submitted a lemon to the DaD two months ago and to this day it has not been updated...
Most authors' weren't. It's not like the webmaster neglected you specifically.
on the flipside, my lemons were put up the day I submitted them to the DHZ,
...like everyone else's.
and my feedback topics were replied to, rather than being viewed fifty times with only one reply.
I saw the said "replies", and I was less than impressed. Most of the people who replied haven't even read the lemons, and the ones that did seemed more interested in talking about themselves or "reviewing" with a "Your lemons are great". If that's what you want, then I'm sure everyone in this board would be able to do it too. But I know I wouldn't want to receive comments that hold no real meaning about my writing, and would not affect it in the slightest.
I didn't want to get harsh or anything, but you've got a really smart mouth for no reason. I didn't bash anyone, and its not right for you to bash me.
I didn't bash you, I criticised you. There's a difference. And if by "smart mouth" you mean displaying my opinions openly, then I believe I don't even need a reason for doing that.
*shrug*
Like I said there's nothing WRONG with the DaD, its just not the right place to submit my work.
Yeah, it isn't. It doesn't offer your work a four-word review and it doesn't give you delusions by saying it's wonderful. Sucks, huh?
Actually, I wouldn't insist on my second point if even -one- of the reviewers had given you a helpful comment. But, no, all of them were limited to "they're great" or something along that line. I bet half of those people haven't even read the fanfics to begin with.
I never said my writings were the greatest or anything like that, so your attitude is uncalled for.
You didn't say that, but you still seem to have high expectations of them. Like I said, I don't believe you can go far with original characters. Even Red Rover, who is the most popular author in both sites, has pointed that out in his topic on this board.
Getting angry with me for wanting to go to somewhere that better suits my needs is nothing more than childish.
Who said I'm angry with you? I could care less about what you decide. It doesn't concern me if I look at you as the author you are, it concerns me if I look at you as an author among the many. And since I doubt other authors would act as arrogant as you ("no-one cares about my fanfics, and because I have posted, like, 10 topics about them, and still no-one seems to care, I will just leave DaD and go to DHZ, where they care about my fanfics... not that you care, I'm just making it known") I really could care less.
Oh, and by the way, "suiting your needs" would mean "sucking up" in this case. I would personally be insulted if all the feedback I got was comments consisting of four words which could apply to any other fanfic.
