[personal profile] flamingsword, How much weight do you give to criticism in fic comments, and do you feel that it is a healthy amount?

Far too much. Far, far too much.

First let me say that I love it when people comment and tell me about an issue that's easy to fix. (Misspelling, factual error, typo, local color error like getting a street name wrong.) I certainly don't want to discourage people from doing that.

And I believe that people ought to be free to express their opinions, and that if I don't want people to have negative opinions about something, then I shouldn't share it publicly.

But I take it to heart when someone doesn't like something, much more than I should.

I have to pretend that fandom anon communities don't exist, because if I allow myself to look at them, I'll look at them obsessively and be hurt and angry all the time.

I believe that this is not a good way to feel, but I feel this way just the same!

27 --[personal profile] destina, "how has your relationship to fandom changed over the years? By which I mean not just participation in it, but your level of tolerance/interest for the cyclical things about it, the way old arguments never really stop or die, etc, but also the ways fandom changes and new ways of doing fandom evolve. (And old ways evolve out, and terms evolve, etc.)"
28 -- [personal profile] kass, "What do you like best about where you live?"
