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.
