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.

Hey, I know it's been a while and it's strange to post after so long, but I've already talked to Yemi about this a while back and while scrolling through my stories I just had a urge to apologize. To put it in PG term, I acted like an idiot. I was angry and did stupid stuff I wouldn't dream of doing now, even if it's only a few months after the event. To be honest, when I see that first draft I can't help but cringe a little at how bad it really was. It doesn't even look like my writing now, and I honestly want to beat my head against my desk reading it ( ... )

Thank you for the apology Shadowkat. It is much appreciated, and yes... I'll pass on the word that you're open to critique on your other stories. :D

Now you sound like a real writer! :)
I just read Christmas in Azkaban*, and it's impressive at how much you've grown!

I'll say here that I'm also impressed with how they've grown since I can't review as Pottersues on the site.

(Well... I do have the ability to review stories, but I can't review as pottersues reviews specifically on this site, the down side being since the focus is on Mary Sues that I don't usually get to do positive reviews. If it doesn't have Mary Sue traits, I can't feature it and even if it is one that would end up with a good rating because the writer does the right thing the way I find stories means the best chance I have of finding stuff for the good rating is when I do themed weeks. Or even the O.K. rating for that matter.)

Thanks.

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 ( ... )
