re 14

[(Anonymous)]

The secret isn't about getting (con)crit, though. It's about looking down on people for what they produce. Militant Anti Mary-Sue Societies, comms dedicated to mocking badly written fic... basically, the asshats who make themselves feel good by talking down on others. There are plenty in fandom, and more often than not they are not in it to help you improve.

I guess you could read the secret that way. The fandom I'm in right now is having a lot of issues separating the two, and there's massive wank over it, so I sort of assumed the secret was about all that garbage-- I could definitely be wrong. But there is a lot of entrenchment in fandom about not being allowed to say ANYTHING that isn't 100% nice about someone's fic. Yes, people shouldn't bash, but the massive overreaction to anything negative is not helping anyone either, IMO.

"I judge you if you look down on people for..."

Yeah, I think it's safe to read the secret that way, since that's what it says. :P

It's happened to me more than once but one day, it finally dawned on me that my work was chosen instead of someone else's was because it was indeed terrible. Instead of crying my ass off to gain sympathy like I used to, I spent the energy on making my next project better. To everyone's surprise but my own, the reception was phenomenal.

There will always be assholes online, offline, inside or outside of fandom. What makes a difference is how you react to them.

Re: re 114

So the right way to react to people who think they have the right to disrespect because you don't please them is by... getting better at pleasing them?

Yanno, taking concrit in stride is one thing. But letting assholes be assholes and taking all the blame for being abused for your "failings" instead of reminding them of basic civility will only make things worse.
