I think you should read what gods_debris wrote about your piece, take it lightly, and continue writing. Criticism is going to come your way if you're a writer. That being said, I don't believe the harsh, red corrections were necessary. It came across as very condescending; I'm not sure if they meant it that way, or if they were genuinely interested in helping.
But perhaps you can gain something from these corrections? All writers want to improve, and all are capable of doing so. I really enjoyed reading this, and that's great, but there's something everyone can improve on.
I think you should continue writing, and definitely do not let certain reviews get you down. You'll get many more of them in the future, regardless of how much you improve.
Have fun writing, and take the criticism that may come! I enjoyed this, and that's all the matters to me. ♥
Also, I love the picture of Suzaku and Lelouch. Cou does some amazing doujinshis.
I was totally interested in helping. :( I just felt like I should change my font color so that it didn't mesh in with her writing and so that they could see my changes more easily. Would you suggest a different color next time because it really seems to be an issue and I would like to correct it if the color comes off condescending.
I think they should continue to write, too. I liked her piece!
It's very common for a teacher or professor to use red in correcting an essay, so I believe that someone using that over the internet can very easily come off as condescending. It's impossible for us to tell your tone or your intention over the internet, so I think it would be better if you just didn't correct a persons work in the traditional manner
( ... )
I'll try to keep that in mind. I have a strong habit of writing formally when criticizing and I know from linguistic courses that it can also come off as condescending. I will try to be more sensitive the next time I criticize someone's work.
That's all we can ask. I'd be perfectly fine with the criticism you gave if it was my story. But most people aren't so calloused when it comes to receiving such comments. :D
I haven't beeen offended at all; i was happy aha xD but i am flattered people were thinking about me and defending me but to be honest I wasn't offended at all lol
