Raise your hand if you like getting detailed critiques on the myriad flaws in a fanwork you completed over three years ago.
What.
The fuck.
Are people thinking.
I got a comment the other day asking me if I could ‘make this into a real fic, a long one i could fangirl over’. The fic was nearly 5,000 words long, and in a fandom I hadn’t been part of for nearly ten years. It was very obviously a complete work. There was nothing else to the comment. No praise, no ‘I liked this part’, no nothing.
