You seem really neat. I've got a bunch of ideas, would it be ok if I DMd you and we could talk more?
While I appreciate the enthusiasm, anon, I'm just not one to get into a DM conversation when I don't really know the person*. Call it being old-fashioned, call it being paranoid, but that paranoia's served me quite well over the years, especially in fandom.
(And especially when you're the third person, anon even, to ask me this in the space of a day or two. This has never happened before and I was genuinely at a loss on what to do. I suspect it's a generational difference? ^^;)
Also, as a hobbyist writer myself, I just really, really dislike having my tastes be the arbiter of your tastes, does that make sense? Part of me does want to help, I remember being young and having no clue what I was doing and if it would be good. But another part of me remembers what happened when I did try to ask "Is this good?" to a random writer online, and I got back "I don't know, have you written it yet?" Which honestly was the best advice, even if now I would've phrased it differently. (I think that writer would too, if they're still alive. ^^;)
*This is not a cue for you to come back and declare "Here is my entire life story", by the way. I would still be uncomfortable because I need time to really know if I can trust somebody.
