Fan Source Book Question

[shootingwomprats]

I n the past I have posted material and asked for comments. Going so far as to create an index page with links to an accompanying comment page. Which honestly takes a lot of work for the little feedback it generates. Which leads to the obvious question: Why bother?

I am not going to stop creating content. I do it as a creative outlet for myself, so validation, though nice, it not my motivation. What I am saying is I am having a really hard time staying motivated to do anything beyond creating stats and posting them.

Creating a source book requires reading, research, editing/rewriting, proofreading, creating a layout, and so on. The end product is not created in a vacuum. It does appear in its final form fully laid out with stats.

So there you have it. Why should I bother posting for comments?

I know how you feel on the feedback and motivation thing.

You make amazing source books though and I hate to think that you'd not bother making them.

Possibly try clustering your stats for feedback by type (I think I may have mentioned this before) for example, the Nightwitches
stats you did could have been posted in a single thread giving the readers something to chew on and possibly respond to (longshot
I know). I found myself thinking I don't have a decent response to all of these individual stat posts.

On the work and effort, I'm not sure exactly what other help I can be beyond what I'm already doing, but I'm willing to try if you
need some more burden sharing. Just message me with what you need help with.

To all those reading this in sneak or non-member mode, time to come out into the light, start interacting and help pay back to the
site for everything it's given you already.

You don’t post for comments; you post for yourself because it’s a project that matters to you. At that point, it’s out of your hands, because you can’t dictate to other people what they’re actively interested in.

Some of us want to post more, but DRL gets in the way, forcing us to take longer to get back to you.

[CRMcNeill]

The latter, I think.

Right. This is a forum setting. You can post without necessarily asking for feedback because if someone has feedback they can give it unsolicited anyway. But it never hurts to ask. Putting together PDFs, or web pages, is hard work. If you want to just post stats to post stats and not worry about compiling it in a PDF, the Rancor Pit is here for that.

I agree with the suggestion of compiling like things in a single thread, but if creating an index in the OP is too much work then don't. But if you don't make an index, then compiling like things into threads (such as for a single book) is even more important for finding things. Now the index doesn't have to use URL tags. For a barebones basic index you can have the character/vehicle name and the URL beside it. That is the quick and dirty method, but still functional.
