Wow. I never understood people who actually wanted people to let them know when their characters were off. I despise it when people tell I screwed up the characterization in a fanfic. Naturally, I get quite a bit of feedback telling me my characterization sucks *rolls eyes at fate and the irony she likes to play on me*. I seem to have no problem getting people to be brutally honest with me. I attract the brutally honest people like magnets. It's gotten to a point where I have to do my half-an-hour of "WHAT THE FUCK DO THEY THINK THEY'RE DOING CRITICIZING *MY* WORK!" before I meet any new people on the internet because I just know they're just dying to tell me how wrong I am.
And they're mostly valid criticism. Ai. I hate being wrong. But it's good for me (like a needle :P) My ratio of bad characterization has gone down. It used to be I couldn't re-read half my fics three years ago because they were so bad and it's painful realizing how much crap I put out there. In the X fandom, there's only one fic I can't read. Alison was right about my off characterization of Lady Sumeragi. Boy, was I mad, but she had excellent points and I love her for being honest with me (and to Satsuki-chan, for being honest in another one of my fics, and to Malice, who's always honest).
*sigh*
Damn, but do I HATE being wrong.
