Re: Annoying feedback on fic

[(Anonymous)]

What I got was a comment on a promptfic. I was taking prompts and writing things for people. Let's just say the prompt was like, "John rides on a skateboard!" I got a comment from someone (not the prompter) that was like, "This was cute, but John would never ride on a skateboard, because of reasons X, Y, and Z. Also, skateboards are really dangerous and people should do their research before deciding to ride one."

Uh, okay. I agree that John would never ride on a skateboard in canon, but THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS WAS ABOUT. This was about me taking prompts for whatever people wanted me to write. Was it a realistic prompt? No. Was it a fun prompt? Yes.

It just annoyed me.

sa

Also, the prompt was listed right at the top of the fic, so it was totally obvious that it was a promptfic.

Out of curiosity, was the actual mode of transportation a motorcycle or is the whole example prompt made up?

I only ask because motorcycle was the first thing to come to mind for me of something someone could ride that someone else would find too dangerous.

Either way, that blows, and that reviewer is a dick.

The example is made up. It's unlikely, but I don't want to out myself.

Another example along similar lines would be "John smokes a cigarette" and then a review with "cute story, but don't you know how bad smoking is for you?!" I mean, yes, it is, but not the point.

Fair.

Yeah, I get that.

IA this is dumb. I feel like a lot of readers don't really get that characters aren't supposed to be the poster child for correct behavior, unless of course, that's their personality. In real life, people do all sorts of things that might not be the best idea, or the safest idea. Most characters will be the same way, if they're realistic. Acting like it should be otherwise smacks of the weird moral policing fandom seems really into these days.
