You don't know why I'm trying to act persecuted? Possibly because I felt persecuted by your implication that everyone that posts their work online is an attention whore.

As for the OP, if writing is such a chore that a person needs feedback in order to continue writing they should find another hobby, for fuck's sake.

And just to clarify, other people aren't saying that feedback doesn't matter, they're saying that feedback is not why they write OR post.

This attack is why I generally don't go unanon.

[(Anonymous)]

Holy shit, dude, you are sensitive as fuck. You also misread stella_down so completely that I wonder about the fact that you think other people are trolling you.

[diet_poison]

I do not think sara-lakali is "sensitive as fuck", though they probably did misread Stella.

But jsyk, jumping on sensitive people and yelling at them for being sensitive is NOT a good way to make them less sensitive. It's also kind of a dick move.

[(Anonymous)]

But I guess it's not a dick move to accuse someone of attacking you; accuse someone else of trolling you for calling you out on something that you said; and then, after saying you prefer to go anon, tell someone who replies to you anonymously that you aren't going to answer them because...they're anon. That's all just perfectly fine and dandy.

[diet_poison]

hmm. yeah, they're being a dick. I guess I'm just really reactive to "stop being sensitive!!!11" comments so I kinda jumped on that one.

(Wasn't the person who yelled at anon for being anon also anon? It might have been the same person, but I'm not sure. It's still rich because they're also anon though.)

[(Anonymous)]

Listen, considering the fact that you once accused me of being overly sensitive and jumped all over me for daring to dislike a piece of media that you like (and then, horror of horrors, I admitted as much in a public forum, here to be specific,), you really shouldn't be tutting at anyone for "jumping on sensitive people".

And seriously, after the way you flooded my in-box with you vehement (and frequently rudely phrased) opinion, it seems laughable to me that you'd get your dander up over two or three people replying a sane number of times (one for one) to sara-lakali.

You certainly aren't the right person to lecture others on avoiding "dick moves" in public forums.

And yeah, this is anon because I seriously don't want you flooding my in-box again.

[diet_poison]

Unfortunately, anon, if you won't tell me what situation you're talking about, I'm never going to know what I did to make you so angry. Now I feel kinda bad because I don't know what I did to upset you so much and it looks like you've been letting it simmer for a long time.

Though as for flooding your inbox, did I actually keep sending you messages and replies when you weren't engaging in the conversation? Because that is really, really not how I roll.

[(Anonymous)]

One of my hobbies is sharing food (preserves, fancy meals, cakes), and the feedback is definitely an absolute highlight. I love spending time looking up awesome recipes that meet the complex dietary needs of the people around me.

The actual cooking? A chore. I don't much enjoy peeling potatoes or julienning carrots or whatever, heck I hate stick-testing cakes and virtually all the cakes I make require it.

But every "I can't believe I can eat something like _this_" gives me energy for the weeks to come. Every time a colleague grins when they spot my cooler bag and leans out of their door to ask what I brought? Fucking awesome.

There are roundabout fifty people who would be very willing to tell you "for the feedback" is an absolutely awesome reason to do something. As a chronically depressive person with aspergers, I love the simple script for the moments of "give person food, wait for happy noises". The whole process energises me and helps me make happy memories.

When I'm writing, it's exactly like that. There are wide swaths of the writing process that aren't that fun to me, but getting feedback makes it all worthwhile.

PS: If you just wanna back up your fic, there are plenty of private ways like google docs or dropbox to do so. In general, fanfic archives are for use by people who wish to share their work with others.
