I would say she wasn't intentionally trying to do any harm, but like you said, since she expressed her thoughts on an open forum where anyone could be reading it, and anyone could be influenced by her opinions, I guess that's not really true.
*hugs*
I say just try to ignore it. Not easy, I know, but it's your story so you can write whatever you damn well want to write. What might not be her cup of tea will definitely be someone else's :) I'm positive you'll have plenty of people who'll love to read your story!
Yeah, I don't mind people hating the film, I think it was just the fact it was in chat where it's specifically about Paperlegends so I vaguely knew quite a few of the people there, and everyone's eventually going to see that I wrote it which made me feel embarrassed if it's a horrible overrated idea or whatever. :(
But yeah, I'm trying to keep telling myself that even if no one wants to read it ever, I want to write it! Which is why I'm doing it! :D
So sorry that happened. Yes, your story idea might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I guarantee there will be others who will really be interested in it. Don't let someone else's negativity rain on your parade.
Thank you! I'm trying not to let it get me down. :)
On the plus side, it's pretty much helping with my writer's block, since I'm stubbornly determined to get the damn thing done now, just to irritate this person more. XD
WHAT!!!??? That's absolutely rude! I can't imagine somebody in the chat saying something like that... Usually it's such nice people... I'm quite discouraged, I must say.
Also, I know that I'm not around much (or at all) lately, but I assure you that you don't have to feel like an outsider. The chat is very welcoming and one person shouldn't make you feel less welcome!
To be fair, with the hindsight of a few hours and a stiff drink, I don't think she meant it to be as hurtful as it came across, it was just a bit - direct - in its hatred of the source material. I doubt she'd have said it if she'd known I was there.
And I hope to see you back in the chat soon! :) It's definitely weird without you!
