i have no idea what prompted you to write this but i agree with every single word that you posted.
i wish i were better at giving concrit because i know as a writer, i'd love to receive more of it so that i can constantly be improving and i believe wholeheartedly in the golden rule. but more often than not, i find myself commenting with flailing or just quietly delicious-bookmarking things that i absolutely love and just like. not replying at all on things that i find mediocre or lackluster. and like, it's terrible, i know i should be writing feedback to everything and helping other people improve but i don't because i feel like if i have a negative comment to make (even amongst the positive), i don't want to hurt the author's feelings jksdfsdsdjkfs this is so contrary and hypocritical to what i just pointed out about wanting concrit myself.
i don't know. ): i guess i need to stop worrying that all of fandom is going to receive concrit like 13 year old girls or something and just do it.
