When a stranger logs into FIMFic and sees a notification that the guy who runs the Vault commented/faved their story (or even followed them), they tend to freak out, and I don't like giving people false hope. So... my faves list is wildly incomplete, and most stories I read don't get comments. I've kicked around the idea of registering an alt, just so I can leave feedback "anonymously".<br /><br />...My life is weird.RBDash47https://www.blogger.com/profile/05783009408610175254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-13085862203263949312013-04-23T05:28:51.707-05:002013-04-23T05:28:51.707-05:00BUT I DON'T READ MANGA :|

Of course, it's not all that fun to get a negative comment, but in actuality, I love getting them. Well, as long as they are constructive. HoofbitingActionOverload is really the only person to leave in depth negative feedback on one of my stories and the discussion that we had was really useful. I don't agree with all of his points, but some of them were valid and I've always kept them in mind when writing. <br /><br />I do think the responsibility goes both ways here. Every author that puts their work out there needs to be ready for negative criticism. It's part of being publicly creative. Few things are more obnoxious than an author that is operating from the position that they are always right. Conversely, I see commenters abuse the system a little too often for my liking. It's one thing to have ten stories up that are all crap because you won't listen to anyone. People can rip those guys up all they want. It's another thing to tear a new, obviously inexperienced and probably young author to shreds because they aren't very good yet. There is always a way to leave a negative critique which is both polite and constructive. Tearing an author a new one without sufficient justification is just entertainment disguised as critique and I find it disgusting.xjuggernaughtxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286896058684660654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-69437744998808736812013-04-22T08:56:35.410-05:002013-04-22T08:56:35.410-05:00They just can't do anything right, can they?They just can't do anything right, can they?Holly Oatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703437987958922954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-12694688511186923822013-04-22T08:54:42.951-05:002013-04-22T08:54:42.951-05:00Chris, that story was ridiculously adorable! ^_^
