This just in: I'm not telepathic!
I just got the following review for this fic:
Umm...
"Umm..." what? Look, it's fine if you didn't like/didn't get the fic. My writing isn't perfect, and even if it was, that'd still be no guarantee that it would be liked by everyone who read it. And I'm okay with that! What I'm not okay with is your not bothering to tell me how I can make it better/less confusing. I know that leaving good concrit is hard, but... Dude, if you're going to bother to leave feedback, you might as well leave feedback that's actually, yanno, useful. It doesn't even have to go into detail! Just say, "I didn't get it." Or, "[Character] was OOC when he/she/it [something]." Or SOMETHING that will tell me what to watch out for. Because my Internet telepathy is sadly weak, and I can't read your mind. And since I can't read your mind, I have no way of knowing what you disliked, and therefore am not likely to stop doing the things you dislike.
WHY IS THIS SUCH A DIFFICULT CONCEPT.
