Well, the only person I've shown the first novel to is my mom (and she hasn't even read it, grrr!) but the entire second novel (which is a Hogwarts sort-of fanfic based on a LARP I was in) is up in LJ - I shared it because a bunch of the people in LJ were involved in that game and therefore in my story. Really, I'm just afraid that showing people will work will pop my ego - I feel like I'm not good at it, but at the same time I want to hold on to the notion that I'm good enough, which leads to silly "I want people to tell me I write good but I'm afraid that they'll tell me I suck but I want constructive criticism but...but...but..." It's stupid stuff, really. I'm sure I'll get over it eventually. ;)
