rpanons | All the pretty little anons

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

That escalated quickly.

not really. i'm just tired of people shitting on others for actually chasing The Dream(tm) and hiding behind the term "friend" when, no, clearly not, because friends don't call each other godawful writers

If you make it clear that you can't handle crit, then expect your friends to ladle out only praise, not only are you doing yourself a disservice, of COURSE they are going to blow off steam somewhere before they have to go back to patting your butt for you.

If you're really serious about chasing the dream, learn to take crit or risk languishing in an eddy of lower quality writing.

Uh, I love when my friends give me criticism?

only because you think you're capable of improving. nobody's going to take the news "your writing is godawful" well, and it has nothing to do with skin thickness.

Why would they come to wg to critique their friend? They came here to remark frankly on them. If they got too specific with language 1. It'd make it obvious to their friend that it was them when the same critiques appear in their inbox as appeared here and 2. They'd potentially out them by describing their writing quirks and failings.

This is a remark on how they struggle to critique them, not an actual sample of their critiquing method.

... look at where you're posting. this is rpa.

The gripe still stands that they're venting here because they can't critique, not that this is how they would treat an actual request for constructive criticism.

Granted if it was then they need to sit on it and twist, but I get the feeling that if they felt they could bring up the matter without their friend getting shit-flinging mad at them, they'd go to more effort to point out what they think could use fixing and how.

I refuse!
