I was on the site for a few months, but I never found it very appealing. Most of the time, people came from the Recently Updated portion of the site, wrote some vague comment about the first chapter of my story ("Your story's sooooo good! Update more often!"), and implicitly demanded that I Hearted their works. I visited the forums and disliked that people literally had threads not for reviews but to exchange the Facebook equivalent of Likes. Most writers there, it seems, are under 16, and I can understand that they do have a heightened need for validation, but I thought that it went too far. (And I'm surprised that artists haven't become pissed about art thieves there who use uncredited pictures for covers.)

That said, the site is very clean and easy to use.

But to the topic at hand, you're an incredibly nice person. As an amateur writer myself, I understand the importance of cheerleaders, and I think that your fluffy reviews - as long as they contain some critique, no matter how cushioned - will help some writers to flourish.

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you! I'm sorry that your experience on the site wasn't all that enjoyable — to be honest, I've been lucky enough to avoid most of that, except for the spamming. Perhaps it's because I keep to myself most of the time, except for my reviews. The Self Promotion forum is just as tasteless to me as it is to you and I don't like the art thievery problem, either, though I think it will take direct and forceful actions on the part of the administrators to change anything. Though the General/Random forum is the place I most often visit, the energy there can be tiring, sometimes enough that I forget myself and say something that I probably shouldn't to a group of precocious, elitist teenagers with validation issues.

But to be honest, it's the best website out there for me at the moment. I'm still on the lookout for a website with more maturity, like Inkpop, but I don't mind staying on Figment for a while. It reminds me to work on my own writing, at least. I think like a much more experienced writer, but I still write like an amateur in many ways, so I should probably stick to my own kind for now.
