[QUOTE="Haltherrion, post: 5632395, member: 18253"] I'm not trying to be mean. I can appreciate how hard it is to establish oneself as a writer. I've dabbled in artwork before and know what it is like to try to get noticed or not (BTW on that score, the cover to "Thief" looks an aweful lot like a [URL="http://affliction.wdfiles.com/local--files/start/jewel_thief-1200.jpg"]piece [/URL]I posted to renderosity some years ago ;) But it's okay, the cover is much better and honestly, I didn't see that until after I had posted). But Ari asked for feedback and I decided to be honest. I am guessing by the overall low response to this thread that my opinion is not unusual, just probably unstated. So, yes, it feels cheesy to me. But to your point, were I already a fan, I would be inclined to participate. Not being a fan yet, it feels like a stealth advertisement. Guess I was already drawn in some because I did check out his website based on the post :) Let me put this another way. I hope Ari is wildly successful. But I saw this post with little followup at the very end of the last page for today's "new posts" so at the risk of bruising an ego, I thought I'd post what I really felt rather than remain silent as most people have. From my own experience, while I might be bent out of shape the moment I see unpleasant feedback, in the long run it is the most valuable of the feedback I ever get. I just may not appreciate it the day I get it :D [/QUOTE]
