^ That's a good lead in to my next question. Do you take things personally when people insult fanfic or put down fanfic writing in general? Do you tend to be overly sensitive when it comes to your own writing and get easily offended if someone says something negative or perhaps gives someone else's story more attention than yours?
If people slag off fanfic in general, I don't let it bother me. I know that not everyone understands fanfic, and some people might think we're a bunch of weirdos for reading/writing it, lol. I kind of like that I've got something that none of my friends know about.
If someone else's story got more attention than mine, I wouldn't mind at all. I know that we all like different things and what I write might not appeal to everyone. I don't expect anything when I post a story, so to know someone likes it is great!
If someone were to say "your story is absolute crap Steph!" or something like that, then I probably would get a bit offended. But if the comments were actually about things I'd done wrong, and put to me in a friendly way, then I'm sure I'd be fine with that. Whatever though, I would still write...if I ever get my mojo back!
