If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Ugh, why do people have to be so rude?
I'm in the process of writing a monstrously epic fic over at fanfiction.  Its up to 61 chapters and I'm barely halfway through with it.
In the beginning I would get tons of feedback and positive response.  And of course like all stories it died down a little.  But I tried to remain positive.  And then I begged

I'm sorry, girly *hugs*

Unfortunately there are far more rude and cruel people willing to speak up online than nice ones. One fic of mine was completely torn apart a few months ago and I really didn't think I'd do another fic because of it.

Anyway, try not to let the assholes get you down - I know it's hard, but if you do then they win. And really, where's the fun in that?

Thanks!
The pep talks are really helping today! I really needed I guess.
You've mentioned the bad feedback from that fic before, which one is it?
And yes I agree, the nice to mean ratio is really off.
I will as always try to keep positive.
Thanks again!

I'm glad!

I have? Crap. I hate when crap like that stays with me. Anyway, here's the fic (and the subsequent comments) http://community.livejournal.com/vmfic_gameon/16114.html (it's mostly Logan/Madison with some Mac/Dick and DoVe - combined I guess I should've known how most of the fandom was going to react >.< )

Don't worry about it, I've said/written stuff in the past that came back to haunt me too. I'm not familiar with that fic, but I just checked out the comments

LOL! Exactly! I figured I'd thrown in every warning and yet, yeah... Oh well, live and learn and guess.

You're more than welcome! Glad we could all help :)
