I don't think is saying "your fic is OOC" is really about personal preferences. It's basically saying the author doesn't have the skill required to portray the characters properly.

Not saying it's okay for people to react to that by throwing tantrums, but it's a lot more understandable why someone would get upset over than then saying you don't like their kink.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, exactly this. If someone doesn't like a certain kink in my fic then I don't take that personally. I say YKINMK and move on. But if someone said I was writing characters OOC? I WOULD take that as a personal attack.

[(Anonymous)]

But what if they're right? If someone's writing, say, Spock as a warm, gregarious guy and there seems to be no awareness on the author's part that their Spock is not at all the Spock that their readers are familiar with, maybe someone ought to be able to point that out without the author launching flames out of the side of their face.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, what if they are right? You should hear what they didn't like about it. Maybe that's why you aren't getting comments. Because what you wrote is OOC. Perhaps if you listened to the criticism you'd become a better writer and more people would leave honest, positive feedback.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, I worded it wrong. If someone doesn't like a kink I wrote about, I don't take it personally or as a criticism of my writing. If they say I wrote anyone OOC, I do.

That is, I (somehow) equated personal attack = criticism by mistake. :P I'm not saying I don't listen to crit or don't want people telling me someone's OOC - I do. I'd rather hear that complaint in a review or comment, than one about a kink they just don't care for. /shrug

Oh, sorry, just replied to your original comment before I saw this one. IAWTC. :)

[(Anonymous)]

...what?
Even though saying something is OOC is not just a personnal taste thing, it's not even close to a personal attack. There's a big difference between the critism of something you made and someone attacking you.

[(Anonymous)]

It's not a personal attack. A personal attack is "you are a stupid idiot for writing this story!" If someone says, "I think [character] is behaving OOC", that's a comment on your writing, which may or may not be warranted. But it is NOT a personal attack.
