I've got no idea how people who are so sensitive to criticism survive in the real world. Really. If you do a lousy job with a task I've assigned you, I won't get nasty but I will point out what you did wrong and make you correct it. I can't imagine what would happen if someone flounced in the workplace the way people do online.

Um... fic is what a lot of people do to unwind from workplace stress. You get that, right?

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt - I see the wisdom of this approach, but it makes me wince that this is always brought up with the implication that because it's for fun, it's okay that people do a half assed job.

[(Anonymous)]

actually, though, why isn't it okay that people do a half assed job

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt

Because they expect you to do a fully assed job of reading it?

[diet_poison]

How does one even gauge that?

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt, but they can do a half-assed job, but I can also point out that it is obviously a half-assed job.

[(Anonymous)]

Not a thing, so long as you don't expect people to pretend like it's not a half assed job.

[diet_poison]

Repeat after me, anon: you don't get paid to write fanfic.

[(Anonymous)]

/slowly puts down her royalty statement from the fairytale retelling she published last year

Oh... okay.

[(Anonymous)]

That humblebrag.

[(Anonymous)]

this is quite possibly one of the most insufferable comments ever to be posted on FS

[diet_poison]

Because that is clearly the same thing as putting up fics on Ao3...

[(Anonymous)]

This isn't a workplace or a job, it's a hobby. There are different codes of etiquette that pertain to those situations, as in all other situations.

[(Anonymous)]

yeah once I told my grandma her knitting looked like shit, who cares if it was just her hobby and she didn't ask for criticism

[(Anonymous)]

lol

[(Anonymous)]

Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Some do.. barely. With meds and therapy.

Yes, some writers are just young and foolish, but the Internet is also a place where people with various limitations and disabilities hang out. I know I make literary mountains out of anthills. But I also know not to specifically ask for no negative feedback because then people go out of their way to be nasty.

A legitimate issue? I'll gladly fix. Hounding me about the content because you wanted A/B when it's a clearly-labeled C/D fic or something similar? Definitely not cool.
