Dear readers · 12:45pm Feb 15th, 2022
It's been brought to my attention that there are actually fanfiction writers who will react with hostility and actually attack and insult prospective readers for critiquing their work and providing feedback on how to improve it, claiming that they didn't post it so it could be critiqued.
This kind of bullshit is honestly one of the stupidest things I've read in recent history.
If you don't want to be criticized for what you produce, then don't produce anything and just stay in hiding where you won't be noticed. That, or develop a thicker skin and stop acting like words are the same thing as physical violence. Your feelings being hurt because you're not as good as you think you are, isn't a threat to your own well being.
Rest assured I don't condone or practice this type of behavior. And the fact such a simple thing even needs to be said is just a crying shame.
Some people are just too sensitive these days.
Ugh, tell me about it
"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."
