Annoyance · 5:19am May 25th, 2015
You know whats annoying? people with no storys at all on here think they can just come along and judge your work negatively like they know something. If they know so much why not post something themselves? Now granted if the person is actually a decent writer with some storys posted then okay they give good advice, but I am talking about the idiots who come and tell you you're writing all wrong when for all I know they've never written a story in their life 
! I guess technically they do have the right to do this but it is still really freak'n annoying!:twilightangry2:!!!!!!!
Oh, good, it's not just me.
But seriously, I know that feel. That's happened to me several times. Before, I wouldn't have been able to handle it well, but now I'm better about it. Believe me, it's difficult, but doable.
Yeah I'm nice to them, when I a knowledge them at all, but yeah I was afraid it was only me too
.
Just because they don't have a story on this particular website, doesn't mean that they haven't written anything outside of this website.
But, more importantly, I don't think story-writing is a good prerequisite for valid criticism. I find it hard to believe that everyone who thought your fanfiction was bad doesn't have a single story to their names. Will you suddenly think someone's criticism is good, if they just so happen to have written a story? No, because whether or not somebody wrote something does not matter when someone is judging another's work.
In other words, if a person who wrote multiple stories on this website commented "U suck at writing" on your fanfiction, then would that be more valid than somebody who has never written a story before, but wrote multiple lengthy paragraphs explaining why they didn't enjoy your fanfiction?
I know that it's difficult to accept criticism from people and that some people seem to enjoy making others feel bad under the shield of 'criticism'. You can't really stop them from doing these things, but you can control your own reactions to them. Listen to the people who actually put in time and effort to critique your work and ignore the people who just give you off-handed comments. You will be a much better writer for it. Also, even if certain people continue to be jerks, you can at least take pride in being the better person.

If their so good at writing why not write their own story so I can judge them?

If the story they wrote isn't about MLP, then they wouldn't post it here. Also, I'm rather confused as to why you ignored everything else I said. I think I gave you some rather good advice.
3096771 well unless since I will assume they are idiots who think they know what they are talking about, also I ignored what you said because I really don't care. The point is they are annoying.

Okay then. I can't really force you into caring, so I'll just leave now.
3097672 And for the record most of the advice you gave me I already do. But like I said when someone who has no proof that they have ever written a story before tells me my story is crap and everything they think that needs to be fixed its pretty annoying.

I get it. Bad criticism can get very annoying. I haven't read your story yet, so I don't know if you are a good writer or not. Well, we'll just have to wait and see.
