i'm not saying that criticism can't be opinion? it's not constructive because they aren't giving her advice on how to improve. there's "your writing is pretentious" and then there's "your writing is more focused on style than narrative. have you considered writing something more plot-driven to challenge yourself? i feel like that would make your story telling stronger." i don't understand why anons always take "crit" as an excuse to be rude, because in the end, you're still talking to be a real person.
nobody is trying to be rude, you're taking it exactly as personally as she would. maybe it wasn't concrit but that doesn't mean the people who posted it wanted to be rude. not everybody is a writer, lots of people are just readers, maybe they can see the problem and not the solution?
lol anon how can i take it personally when it isn't my fic being criticized?
anyway, i guess i shouldn't have called those anons "rude," in case they take it personally. what i'm saying is that if you're going into a concrit meme, you should be aware that not every body takes crit with a grace and dignity. and you should be aware that if you're a reader and not a writer, and you can only point out problems and no solutions, prepare for your crit to be taken a very certain way.
