boo hoo its one of the best fanfics ive ever read so fuck off m8 I'm not saying it's bad, criticism is good, because it's lets people know what they need to work on. At least, that's my own mindset. Whenever I write something, I honestly can't stand when people don't point out what's wrong with it. I feel like criticism is good, constructive criticism anyway, and I like when people balance what's good with a story, while also pointing out where the author needs to improve. I really don't like when people just say, "it's good", and don't say what about it is good, or what can be better. I was kidding, but it's really not necessary to delve so deep. |

Not sure if Zyphon here has incredibly high standards and I don't live up to them or everyone else has incredibly low standards and I marginally exceed them. From either standpoint I'm shit. The Answer: I have high standards. Don't worry about it, the story is really good. I liked Becca's character arc a great deal, the relationship between Annie and Wyatt, and Hector is a really great character, though, I probably think that because he's basically me. Sanctum was really well done, too. |

I'm probably going to be proven to be a massive hypocrite soon enough with my own story, so this adds to the only real point to be gleaned from this: I'm an asshole.

Every story has its mistakes. Breaking Bad is a masterpiece, but it has its moments where im just like 'this shit is wrong' actually very few moments, but you get the point. |

Yes, but I felt like I was harsh with my criticism of Into the Fray, when in fact, I'm not sure if I can do too much better, ergo, I'm probably going to be proven to be a hypocrite, ergo, I am an asshole. |

I'm going to go to bed and re-evaluate everything when I wake up.
Thinking about ITF... I've realised that I'm thinking "I fucking hate it."
Imagining it in any small amount makes me disgusted - I'm not sure whether I'm annoyed with how it played out or just myself as a whole - and as it stands it feels like I've wasted six months only for nothing to change. My writing hasn't improved over 111 chapters and now I hate the story and the characters it contains, particularly the OCs. I'm not exaggerating.
Maybe I'm burnt out or maybe I legitimately do hate ITF and never want anything to do with it again. I don't know.
EDIT: I don't think this is down to Zyphon's criticism. That just sort of acted as a catalyst combined with my stupid and weak mind. I fucking suck.

............I need to learn to keep my fucking mouth shut. And I need to learn how to take criticism because I clearly can't. I need to stop being a crybaby. I think I might have issues with self-loathing. I don't know if that comes as a shock but maybe I just hide it well. |

It's the reason why most of what I write doesn't go far, because if no one else shoots it down, I most certainty will. I also need to learn to be less critical. |

It's times like this where I wish I were more eloquent of a person. Or just knew what to say in general.
But I'm not and I don't. So. I know it's hard, but you gotta get out of your head, dude. A lot of people loved this fic. I looked forward to it every day. I had work to do and I dropped everything I was doing to read it. There were times where I'd read and thinking "fuck on Earth I wish I could do this." You're a good storyteller. I know this is such an empty, stupid thing to say, but if you enjoyed doing it then that's important. Feedback isn't everything. I've done shit that I had a ton of fun doing and no one has given a fuck or didn't respond the way I wanted them to. My first instinct was to think it was shit and that I wasted my time. I know that feeling of producing something, getting little in return and hating the thing you made. But it's a bullshit feeling. It means nothing. Keep creating, no matter what you get in return.
And I promise you, you will always get at least something back. Because your stuff is good. Pretty much everything you've made I thought was good.

After observing this small discussion, I'd just like to say: @zyphon... That wasn't really necessary.

Well, now I feel like a whiny little bitch who's having a hissy fit because they didn't get what they wanted.
I need to re-evaluate things. Take a step back, look at it from all angles.

In some ways though, I'd feel like more of a dick if I didn't mention what I didn't like, but at the same time, I WAS worried about being too harsh, so I tried to find some sort of balance. I failed in doing that, it would seem. |
