Troll-ish comments & their effects
Since the beginning of January I've been writing on Chapter 20 for my loki-centric Avengers omega-verse, which is also supposed to conclude Book 1 but then I received 2 negative comments (from the same anonymous person) and I basically stopped.
It's idiotic because when you put stuff out there, you also should be able to accept criticism. On the other side just because I wear a mini skirt in public it should not be ok for random strangers to tell me to better not show my legs ahaha .... but oh well.
In all fairness the comments weren't overly hateful or even original, just dismissive about my writing (I know my writing is subpar but I don't want to be reminded haha). I know I've read worse (I always fondly remember the anon troll who commented on SOMEONE ELSE's fic because anonymous comments were disabled on my sadistic Hiddleworth, wishing me pain and torture :D) but I guess I'm not as thick skinned at the moment.
There are over threehundredfifty comments which are overwhelmingly positive, in fact supportive, generous and loving and yet I take the two bad ones to heart. Even I understand how idiotic that is, but yeah the comments killed my vibe for the time being.
On the positive side, I have time to focus on my new found loves, Thorinduil and Willton! And I can continue my Snarries, which have been dormant for the last two months so I'm not wasting time :)
