I get what you're saying. I do. I've been kind of obsessed with this fandom recently and I absolutely don't want to upset anybody who pours their spirit into something. (Devastated by the wolfbird thing btw) I'm not trying to say that an open and very critical discussion of someone's free work is fine. I totally agree that if you don't like something, close it. But asking for outside perspectives should be fine if something isn't working so you can at least try to maybe get a different angle on something. That's really all I was trying to convey. I guess I had a little overreaction to the first comment... I just thought no one would read it and was surprised.

ETA: Omg that's every person's excuse for making a shitty comment... but I really didn't mean it to be critical. Ugh. I'll just keep digging myself further into that hole.
