I don't like to deal with editors. Generally my journal editors are very nice people - understanding and even friends. Once I had quite unpleasant experience with the editor who tried to persuade everybody that I just couldn't put words down together. Today I had to rewrite already filmed, edited and dudded script for the new programm for unknown editorial purporses. Huh!
And what I really really hate - that is to interact with the members of russian fandoms (either HL fandom or fantastic fandom). I am quiet, peaceful person, I hate any kind of quarrels. But sometimes, very rare I afford to make remark about somebody's fic. Not always critical (I tried to avoid such kind of confrontation), but... like last time - that it will be very nice of the author to reread his story before posting just to correct obvious mistakes (i meant style mistakes). Only because, in my humble opinion, if you want readers to enjoy your story you need to make an effort to make it readable, because plot is not the ultimate goal.
I was proved wrong when at least dosen other ficwriters began to tell me *Oh, poor we, silly we, and we thought that constructive idea is the most interesting part of the story* - that means (as I understand) *you, perfect fool, don't try to tell us what to do, it's you who knows nothing, keep mum*
once I had had disgusting squabble with one of these ficwriters (I really like her HL stories) about my first very mild slash story (actually threesome - gen/slash). She'd told me how I dare to write that kind of detestable things, I disgrace russian literature (!) no less than. And then I couldn't make a remark without being rate. Double huh.
