Hey, sorry for the late reply, I was away for awhile. I want you to know that I legit flailed when I saw your response in my inbox. I mean, WOW, thank you so much! You are one of the most awesome people I've ~met on Dreamwidth!

What do I have to do to convince you to look at my fics and point out how and why they suck? Sometimes when I write I can feel that something is off, but I can't figure out what it is. It's a wonderful feeling when people read my stories and tell me they enjoy it, but I know there are problems with my fics and I need people who can spot my mistakes, be tough with me and explain things in a way that I can understand.

As to your suggestion that I write more simply, I'm definitely going to try that. And I agree with watching American tv shows and movies in English without subtitles too. I used to do that regularly, but stopped a couple of years ago due to personal reasons. I guess I should pick it up again.

As for books, I do love to read, but not many books can hold my attention (I don't mean it in a they-are-not-good-enough way, but a my-current-interests-are-very-narrow way). I'm not interested in reading heterosexual relationships, and it's not easy finding good books with gay porn in them, so I mainly stick to slash fanfics instead of original fiction. Although, I did fall in love with Anne Bishop's Black Jewels series recently, despite that it's 99.99% heterosexual. Have you got any good original fiction or fanfics to recommend?

Again, thank you so much for your advice and suggestions. I'm going to put your comment on my Kindle so that I can read it again and again :D
