WIP Challenge Checkin, Day 28, Thursday

[jagnikjen]

Come one, come all and tell us how your writing is going today.

~ Lots of words.
~ A few words.
~ It's like pulling teeth.
~ Editing/revising today!
~ Refreshing the muse.
~ Beta reading/critiquing
~ Other fannish pursuits
~ Research
~ Real life :(

Discussion question: Let's talk about feedback...I think we've previously discussed whether or not we leave it.

Today let's talk about the most WTF! or hurtful (if you're over it) feedback you've gotten.

Once you got over it, was there any truth to it? (Let's face it, people can be tactless even though they speak the truth.)

Did you reply to the person leaving the review/feedback?

Comments

So far today I betaed someone's fic and I enjoyed the story very much, haha. I then was able to suddenly thought of some ideas for my WIP and the upcoming pornbattle while driving back home from work. Tonight will be spend critiquing a fic since a friend of mine wants me to look at the next chapter and I kept delaying it, oi. D:

Hm, the most hurtful/WTF reply I had back in February. I posted a story where I write in the POV of a blind person and someone replied to it. She said she was impressed how ambitious I was with the story, only to then say many wrong things about it. There are some things I agree with her like the way the romance between the blind person and another character developed (romance is something I'm still trying to get used to ^^; ) and how I portrayed the main character's blindness (I mentioned before how I wished I did some research on blindness, haha). However, what got to me is the one comment where she said I was discriminating a (fictional) racial group. I asked her what she meant by that, but she still insisted I was being inconsiderate. @_@
