Sorry for the delay. Here is day four of “All In the Summary” week. The name is actually in the title and not the summary, but that combined with the actual summaries contents made me decide to include it with this week.

So, it's been about six years and this looks dead, but... ext_5113511 May 24 2019, 03:40:56 UTC

I've been thinking a lot about my first fic, and this entire deal that happened. I'll probably just be speaking into the void, but on the off chance anyone does hear it will make me feel a bit better ( ... )

I have to wonder if anyone thought about the effects it would have long term on the people put here.

Doesn't this place the blame for how a person feels regarding critique on the person doing the critique and not on the person reacting to the critique of their work? How someone chooses to deal with the critique is up to them and them alone, but when people ask this question their shifting the responsibility.

No, I don't think it does. Because you can critique something in a wide manner of ways. This isn't the only place I've gotten somewhat harsh and thourough feedback from, but it IS the only place that made me feel long lasting shame. I needed a reality check, most likely. But I didn't need to be publically mocked on a form that was made specifically to belittle mostly beginning writers ( ... )

“But I didn't need to be publically mocked on a form that was made specifically to belittle mostly beginning writers.I am personally hoping this isn’t the writer, particularly since they should not only be older and know better, but also because the commenter brought up the fact they are working on their first novel. What we do here in Pottersues is absolutely no different than the kind of critique a writer of original fiction would potentially receive. Critique focuses on the story, not the writer ( ... )

I would have loved to use the "Keep Writing!" icon for your comment, yet the commenters attitude towards critique makes me honestly worry about them going forward. This is NOT the kind of attitude someone with plans on professionally publishing should have, because writers with such attitudes only end up getting hurt. More importantly, if a professionally published writer were to throw around the idea that a review made them feel long lasting shame - aka, made them want to quit writing, let alone that the critique was a form of public shaming they would effectively kill their writing career before it even got off the ground ( ... )

Unless something had been changed between now and the time this had been posted, I don't see anything I would consider mocking or too much for a teenager. Perhaps the stars just aligned in the worse ways possible, but I don't think it's fair to blame your unfortunately long-lasting insecurities on the way Pottersues does reviews ( ... )
