Go with your gut... and tell the others, "Thank you, fuck you!"

I keep meaning to one day type up RL shit but then I never do because I don't want it polluting one of my safer spaces. Except that RL pollutes my safer spaces anyway so why bother trying anythingI'm feeling pretty angry right now. I'll probably regret what I type in the morning but right now? I'm not seeing a way out of this life and I don't think ( Read more... )

pairing: tron: sam/tron, porn is always the answer, ramblings of the overactive mind, things that can't be ignored, 2012, questions that need answering, internet: srs bsns, opinion matters but not yours, ranting for great justice, fandom: tron & legacy, just so you know, writing is hard, story is the heart of the world, serious shit

So just over a year ago, I underwent massive criticism, and I am going to just admit that I am still not really over it. It's pretty fucking obvious from the lull in fic, and the massive fic takedown, and the disclaimers etc.

So, I mean, I guess... I kind of know what it's like? You know, you write something in earnest, you're trying something new and it just blows the fuck up in your face. It's definitely not the same situation, because honestly I do blame myself for not being all that I could be when I wrote that piece that got a shit storm, but I know how it feels, and it sucks, and I'm sorry you're going through that. : /

I'm glad you're angry. Be brave. No one has the right to be upset over something you write unless it's hateful, and this isn't.

Hm... going to leave a comment here, because I know some of my discussion with you prompted some of the editing in Pilots. I think that what had bothered me before was that there were specific moments and references in Pilots that made it at least implied that bits were there, and then all of a sudden they were not. That was my criticism and I do appreciate you at least considering it.

Editing the foreshadowing in wasn't really necessary, but editing those references out might have been, just for continuity's sake.

If that makes any sense.

...I have no idea what those references are.

We talked about them at length when you first posted Howl. If you'd like I can try to sift back through the kink meme and find it? It doesn't really matter now.

The point remains that it's your fic and if you want to take the foreshadowing paragraph out that's your business. /shrug You never have to take any critique from anyone, ever. All I'd done was point out something that seemed like an inconsistency, in my reading of it.

It really makes me sad that you're this upset about it now. :(

Ohhhhhhhh. Yeah, I'm going by the rewritten version that's up on AO3, not the kink meme one.
