The world of fandom is a strange and wonderful one. I have received more feedback on old fanfics that came out in the late 90s than I have anything else. Even now I still open up my email and see a gushing message from someone that has taken the time out of their lives to tell me "Good job. I really love this."
It's a great feeling.
And sometimes an author really needs to be told that something they've done is entertaining and just a good read. 'Cause when you're starting out it's scary and the world of publishing seems extremely daunting, but a little bit of bolstered courage can send you out there to share your original works.
Wading around in someone else's pool is a lot easier than filling your own and taking a swim. But all that practice really does help you out. It's like a "Try before you buy" deal.
