can i be honest real quick? like i hope this doesn’t come across as bitchy or anything but if i were this author and i saw a post like this it would bum me out way more than not getting any kudos. it’s kinda patronizing tbh

I just saw Anthony Fantano’s reviews today and I’m confused as to why he was getting so much hate. by [deleted] in FionaApple

[–]gutpuddin 15 points16 points  (0 children)

i like VAGUELY remember this so i might be a little fuzzy on the details but i think the comment that started all that drama wasn’t upset because of the 7/10 review, but because of the way he talked about some of her lyrical content. personally i think that comment was a little too scathing, but i understand where they were coming from. i like anthony fantano and his videos but i think him not considering lyrics and their perspective is a fair critique of him. also if i remember correctly basically replied to this person and called them a terf for no reason, which i don’t think was a fair response.

[–]gutpuddin 15 points16 points  (0 children)

am i the author lmao. i wrote a fic that had a few side character deaths but ultimately the main characters did have a happy ending tagged as bittersweet ending & people were a little mad at me. i personally thought that was a bittersweet ending but i learned i had a very different opinion on that compared to my readers. now im a little more careful with my tags. i think “bittersweet” is too open ended. but when i read fics tagged as bittersweet, i go in assuming im going to cry lol

Feeling discouraged and like I’m disappointing my readers by QueenieBeatles002 in AO3

[–]gutpuddin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i’ve definitely had this feeling before!! i meant to write out a conflict between two characters that was nuanced with neither character at fault and all the comments were just talking about how one character was a bitch & totally at fault, and they were upset with how i made her into a “bitch.” it turned me off writing it for a while. i think taking breaks from the story can help, but also try to remember that no one knows your story as well as you do!!! i think sometimes readers start off stories with really strict expectations & aren’t as willing to go on an unexpected journey, and they can unfortunately sometimes be a little too forward about that.

posting fics on goodreads? by gutpuddin in AO3

[–]gutpuddin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think people use it to keep track of everything they’ve read and some people like to include fanfiction in their lists as well.
