I learn this the hard way by being blocked on DA after wasting such a long time trying to tell an author why her fanfictions were bad, and how she could improve it.

*sigh*

Yeh, I saw a piece of essay before, saying that constructive criticisms only worked when the stories have some merits to begin with, and when the author is willing to listen to it.

But I thought maybe it was possible to persuade one of them, and when I found a definitely mission-worthy Bleepfic series, my first reaction was to post a LONG essay of constructive criticism.

I was so wrong.

After the author kicked up two tantrums in the comment sections and I replied to each one of them, telling her why excuses like "THIS IS ONLY A FANFICTION!!!" would not work(calmly and politely without any personal insults).

Then she blocked me and hidden all previous conversations, with one final outburst:

"Okay,if you are just here to make fun of it, then honestly **** off. I'm srsly done with all of this. "

Miss Naïve Confidence that one can persuade a fangirl, let her see her mistakes and correct them got a One-Hit-KO.

Yep, totally. Holding back my burning frustrations to be as nice as possible in the comments to give useful advices, and got a "**** off" right in the face as my reward.

Geez, I thought I was the one who was suppose to be mean, overreacting and rude.

Guess I deserve this after all, ignoring wise advices that came from past experiences of oldbies......

*sigh again*

Now I should go working on my permissions, add that nasty Bleepfic series to my future mission list and grab a few bottles of Bleepka to erase the horrifying mental images brought to me by that series.


[Lesson learnt: Some people just will not take any critiques, even when it make sense.]

[ Do not waste your time on any badfics that obviously threw all canon laws out of the window, they do not have any standards to begin with, and definitely do not deserve constructive criticisms.]
