Comments

[iggy]

If this fic at all portrays Winry in a negative light as part of an agenda to forward their OTP, then I think it's bullshit.

And reading your comment below explaining it, it definitely does. So I'm not interested in your white knighting.

(Personally I'm kind of relieved that people ARE upset at it. The FMA fandom of nine years ago would have just been like aww yiss Winry flanderization.)

If that's what the OP were critiquing - fine. I might disagree, but that's all it would be, a disagreement. But the OP isn't critiquing at all, they're bashing, and they're exaggerating and misrepresenting to do it. They're entitled to their opinion but they're being a jackass about it.

Thank you.

I started but had to stop. The first story has huge blocks of text. I checked the later ones and the spacing was correct. I'd mentioned the lack of paragraph breaks, well there were few, but it was really bad and difficult and I was 'bashing the author.' How is a comment that was trying to help bashing? I stopped reading because of that.

It's a general comment - it seems EVERYTHING is considered a flame or bashing these days to someone and you can't make a comment without a white knight coming after you. If an author doesn't want to change it, I get it not everyone wants to fix older work, but maybe don't respond or just say 'thank you.' As a reader, I was trying to say it was difficult, but being labeled jealous and a hater.

I've had the formatting in a few of my stories get stripped when they're uploaded to various sites. It's awful and weirdly embarrassing (I don't want the people reading my fics to think that I don't know what a paragraph is!) but I always apologize, say thanks to whoever told me for alerting me to a problem, and try to fix it. (Some sites are harder to fix than others.)

And I'm always super grateful for the heads-up... although admittedly less so when seven people tell me all at the same time. (Then I take a breath and wait a moment so I can be as grateful towards the seventh person as I was towards the first.) So yeah, for what it's worth, I'd probably enjoy a reader like you.

And no, as a writer, I don't think it's bashing to tell a writer when their spelling, grammar, or punctuation has gone awry. And, depending on how you frame it, telling them that you disagree with their characterization - which you didn't but I think needs to be put in there too, given the discussion.
