After some thought I've decided to leave FanFiction for good. The top reason is because I don't write fanfictions in my spare time nor do I read them.
Plus, the recent activity in the community has just put me off even more. Plus the staff's lack of involvement in the community, which is severely disappointing to me. It's even worse than deviantart, which while there is delay with the reporting it actually happens within a few months. Here there seems to be nothing, which was brought to my attention by another more experienced user.
That, and everyone's opinion about what "constructive criticism" is on here. My opinion is it's someone telling you what you did wrong and how you can improve. The example I'll use is "Oh thank the lord!", a review someone might post on a story that ended. That is not constructive. If it also said, "…lord! The characters were bland and completely out of character!", it would've been a constructive crit. Blunt, no compliments, but a constructive critique. Even if it said that, but more vulgar, it would've been constructive. Against FF's rules, but constructive.
I wrote this story for a former friend, and nothing more. She was/is a huge fan of the Secret Saturdays, so I wrote her idea because she said I was "better at writing animals". The only thing I had to go off of for this story was her view of the characters and the few episodes I had seen. I was never into the cartoon, so I'm sorry if this isn't what some of you had in mind when you checked the SS section.
But, if you want more stories from me, or are interested in any of my art-related things, drop by the links for my Fiction Press and Deviantart! Leave a comment or critique if you like! And be as blunt as you want, my skin's pretty thick ;).
See ya, FanFiction-ians! Keep on Writing, and never lose sight of your dreams!
