what the heck?

So in the past couple weeks I've got random comments on a couple of my olderish stories on various websites and they've all been backhanded compliments. Like, 'this is great, but this part kinda sucked. but not really.' type of things. And I'm just kind of confused and a little bit pissed off.

I understand that writing is a growing process, and not everyone appreciates the same things- but I just find it rude. I would NEVER leave negative feedback on someone's work like that. Even if I really didn't like it, that's no reason to belittle the time and effort the author put into their story. If I was confused about their choices, I would politely ask them their thought processes, but not flat out say I hated it.

meh. I guess it's just getting my flamer/troll cherry popped but--- it really kind of upset me.

I'm considering taking my stuff down to be honest. Or at least making everything friends only. At this point in my writing, I do it for fun- for the creativity of it and as an outlet, not for people's affirmation.....but on the other hand I'm an insanely sensitive person and negative stuff that isn't constructive criticism really gets to me :(

Aw thank you so much dear!

I know some people have a lot of problems with trolls, I just really haven't until lately. I think I was mainly just discouraged because it was all of a sudden *boom* you have haters and they're going to dislike you all at once :/

You're encouragement means the world to me. Knowing there's more people who would be sad over my fics going away than there are mean people is a huge affirmation to keep sharing my works.

*HUGS BACK REALLY TIGHT*
