From: (Anonymous)I saw pointed tweets after I posted my first proper fic, saying 'I wish someone would write (my fic's premise) but (with one the key details I agonised over) being different'.
And then there was a 30-tweet discussion in a little group and I sat sadly on the sidelines, feeling glum because I couldn't get anyone interested in chatting about it on Twitter while i was writing the damn thing.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)My main beta, reading an early draft: "I'm not sure because I don't know a lot about this player, but maybe characterization problem?"
Me: "Good point!" [revises to fix the problem]
Me: "idk though is it fixed?"
Two additional betas, one who knows a lot about player in question, I checked in with for this specific issue: "yeah it's fixed and BTW awesome job!"
Random commenters after fic posts: "I really didn't like how [player] was [characterization issue that THREE PEOPLE told me was fixed]..."
Me: "WTF? Guess there is no pleasing some people."

From: (Anonymous)Er, no I'm not? Whatever you think of how people choose to express their feelings about what they read, it's not surprising that someone tweeting for their own benefit and not that of providing helpful feedback to an author would just say "ugh I didn't like this" without specifying why?
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)Disliking authorial choices =/= constructive criticism. It's just dislike. And saying something was bad doesn't make that a constructive statement, even if it's true.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)A random reader on the internet does not owe you anything at all. No, not even a coherent thought. "I read this fic and it sucked" is a perfectly valid expression of feelings. I don't owe it to anyone to specify what fic I'm talking about - in fact, in non-anon circles, it'd usually be considered impolite.

From: (Anonymous)This demand that readers provide constructive criticism if they dare say anything at all is a new level of entitlement. It ain't about you! If they wanted to talk about your fic to you, they would address their comments to you.

From: (Anonymous)Honestly, the other anon isn't presenting themselves as a super fun person to interact with either. It's interesting seeing someone base their entire platform on them not being obligated to have good conversation habits, tho. A+ argument for yelling into the void in public.
