Re: What kind of advice about fanfic do you wish you had gotten when you started out?

Uh, just chill and have fun with it. Really, this is fic, nothing serious. Don't get too overwhelmed with it.

Criticism was more something I learned in school since one of my bachelors is in writing. We had a lot of it. When receiving I learned to smile, thank them for taking the time to critique, and save it for later to really work over it. Look at the critique again when you can, compare it to critique you received from other people, your vision of the work, and what you want. If it feels right, do it. If it doesn't, don't.

The whole thing about critique is that it's like advice. You can take it or leave it.

However, critique isn't flaming. If someone starts attacking you or their "critique" doesn't give you any idea on what exactly is wrong with your writing it's either very, very vague or a flame. If it's vague, ask for clarification. If it's a flame, delete/ignore.

It's come to the point now that I love critique and I've had some very harsh things said about my work. I loved that because it made me better. But yeah, it's a process. You just learn to work on it.
