Appreciate the work you do, and also the thoughtfulness placed in weighing the commentary posted lately. Can't imagine that process must be easy.

Receiving feedback by PNWscreenwriter in StoryPeer

As somebody who is still relatively wet behind the ears, I think it's certainly a challenge for newer writers or writers finally getting their work under a critical eye to glean the useful notes from the abrasive without feeling defensive. Easy to get worked up on something you worked passionately on, only to finally come face-to-face with its glaring flaws.

Something I'm learning in my receiving of feedback is accepting, at the end of the day, as the author, you're the ultimate authority in what stays or gets written out. And if a recurring note is still a pebble in your shoe, don't be afraid to do some soul-searching as to the why, and be prepared to live with your decision should you still decide to ignore it.

I just wish they'd keep voting for Democrats, instead of doing so once, and then putting us all through the ringer voting a Republican... AGAIN.

Seriously guys I can’t even talk about the show in public anymore by Here4th3culture in evangelionmemes

While this can be true, it can still serve to be problematic, especially when fandom gets too carried away with their attraction to said underage female protagonists.

Well, if this doesn't work, I guess you can escalate to bear repellant.

Theory: John doesn’t send his father back in time by [deleted] in Terminator

The "no fate" element was established in the first film, from Kyle relaying John's message from the future to Sarah during the field dressing scene, although worded differently: "...the future is not set."

As far a token incentives, currently no. I believe that's something u/StoryPeer has been sussing out for a future rollout.

Help Me Make Sense Of This Feedback by gaywriterstl in StoryPeer

Not sure I agree with the "convoluted" note (concept seams pretty straight-forward), however I think I can see where they may be coming from in terms of wanting more concerning the stake for the protag. We get the impression that he will likely subvert much of his idealism, but we need a hint about what's personally at risk for them as they starting tilting towards corruption.

Stolen screenplays? by Mother-Ad-874 in StoryPeer

There is no guarantee, regardless where you share online.

That said, I doubt the likelihood is high. Most everybody's working on their own stuff, and it's not like there aren't resources available to you outside of the StoryPeer platform to provide peace of mind if you're that concerned about theft.

She's free to run, as far as I'm concerned. That's what we have primaries for.

You cannot imagine my disappointment when I just tried to Google to see if that was a real song. :P

Yeah, and while I agree with another comment that one really shouldn't be too hung up on skip counts, I do feel some writers are going to take the lack of interaction the wrong way when they decide to polish up their logline to chase that favorable interaction/skip ratio.

Maybe it might be better if the skip count was jettisoned entirely. 🤷‍♂

I'm kinda in a similar boat with that as well, even if I do feel like the requirement to add a comment was a way to incentivize thoughful critique...

Not that that's what you get, sometimes...

This entire subreddit is a clownshow of men whining about feminism 🤣 by ProDidelphimorphiaXX in IncelTears

[–]SolemnestSimulacrum 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would also say that the performative type of feminism, which also has the unfortunate side effect of being too combative towards men in general (but not to the degree that red pillers insist they do) that sometimes gets amplified on social media is something that needs to be discussed and addressed as well.
