1) I am amazed that you write that quickly. That is some Mavis Beacon level skills right there.

2) You can't be all things to all people. There is no conceivable way to make everyone that reads your fic happy. Especially on tumblr.

3) You have now removed and freaked out about something you, and apparently a large amount of other people, enjoyed, because ONE PERSON DIDN'T LIKE IT. But guess what? On any given day, there are people that dislike you. And things you do. And things you say. That is just how it is.

About 150,000 words written in about 60 days is only 2,500 a day. That's pretty average, actually. It is really easy if you've got passed editing as you write. But I'm just hearing those numbers is making me agree with the sporker of her work.

A good 50K+ story takes even professional writers months to write. Not the initial rough draft, but the finished novel. The sporker was probably right about everything they said. Unless you're Jack Kerouac, your first draft sucks.

I'm not saying that in fandom we have to write like professionals, but if someone sporks you they are probably right about your rough draft needing a lot of work. Some sporkers are really mean, but most of them make very valid points.

Learn from it.
