Fannish question and things

[sholio]

Um ... fannish etiquette question for the room. I just received a (really lovely) comment on one of my older stories, and looking back on it, I realized that I never answered a lot of the feedback on that story, going back to spring 2007.

What is a conscientious fan to do? I certainly don't want to leave the new comment unanswered, but I'm trying to figure out if it's less polite to answer one comment without answering them all, or to send feedback for comments that people left *two years ago*, some of whom have probably moved on to other fandoms by now ...

In other news, purimgifts is open for sign-ups! I thought this looked terribly fun last year, but had too many other fannish commitments to manage it. This year, I'm eyeing it with interest; it's a multi-fandom, ficfest gift-a-thon. Explanation and rules post here; signups are here.

The podfic of my story "Even Bonnie and Clyde Had Off Days" is now available as a podbook made by cybel from winkingstar's recording. People are so kind. :)

I just had to do the same thing over at my deviantART account. I just let things get away from me and the next thing I knew, I had pages of comments & faves that I never got around to responding to. So I did what madripoor_rose does and triage'd it! Then, when I have time, I just post a little thank you for the 'great photo' type comments and for the "drive-by" faves (which I'm guilty of doing all the time!).

And speaking of unresponsive journal owners: I went back & checked my long-abandoned journal and found you had made a comment on my My Little Wraith Pony! I never even knew it was there and I'm so sorry I never responded. *headdesk* As soon as I finish this post I'm going to rectify that situation. ^_^

Hee! I just was reading your reply -- thank you for the long one, btw! Excellent case in point, I guess. XD
