Seriously? · 9:27pm Sep 15th, 2016
I have to say... I'm really annoyed.
Most people that have disliked my stories don't even leave a comment as to why. No constructive cristism or anything.
Few (hardly any) people have done this, and I'm glad those people did. I don't even know if some of those comments were explanations to why they disliked it or not. But if they were, no one else has left comments like that, and it just really is bothering me.
If you're going to dislike my stories, then please leave a reason why!
Look, I'm sorry if I offend people with this somehow, I just... Ugh. :/
I know the feeling -_-
4211283 Yeah, it's honestly really frustrating.
And constructive critism also helps for us to improve, so... Come on, people?
4211288 One of the arguments I've heard is "I don't think that I should tell you what I think if I dislike it"... but that argument is so stupid. I mean, if you don't like it to begin with, why even bother to personally click on it and dislike? It seems like a waste of time. Now, I can understand someone disliking something controversial, but this is simple MLP fics. :T
I know the feeling well. *points to my Supernatural series fics*
4211291 Exactly.
4211388 Yep. People hate OC stories. I don't know why. Most people in this fandom have OCs; so why hate stories featuring them?
4212299 Yeah! I'm working on a few stories that involve my own OCs. What the heck is wrong with having your own characters IN your own stories? I honestly don't see it.
Besides, they don't even have to read those kind of stories if they don't want to! It's downright low to just hate on them for no reason, though.
I'm sorry... But those kind of people need to get a life. xD
4212804 I completely agree. The only things I could see people disliking without reading is things that are more personal like clop and such. Like, the 18+ stuff with children's cartoon characters are things I can see people downvoting for no reason. But some nice stories about pastel colored horses aren't preferred over that...? I don't understand it.
4212885 Yeah, I agree. Though I don't necessarily like clop myself (it's just not my thing, lol), it's still incredibly rude to downvote it without even reading it.
4212898 Yeah, exactly. I can just understand why people would though. But innocent stuff? There's no explanation for that. O.o
4211388 Yeah, it's so annoying. :T
4212900 Yeah. :/
I'm sorry to tell you this but... how can I say this?
You have to learn to live with it. Nobody will say it, don't have to be a conformist but there's nothing we can do.
4215681 You have a point. Unfortunately, that's just the world we live in.
Yeah, it's pretty unfortunate. People like certain things and tend to down vote things they don't like, more often than up vote those things they like. My first vote was an instant down vote, right after publishing and got no feedback as to why. But votes are not the reason I write anyway. Of course they help, but if even one person really enjoys my stories, I'm happy!
4218986 Yep, I have to agree.
