Concrit poll

[eretria]

Yes, yes, I discovered polling for me. Feel free to roll your eyes. But, due to a case of (in my opinion) blatant misuse of concrit I witnessed today, I bring you this poll.

[Poll #805269]

As always, feel free to expand in comments.

Hm, I wish there were check boxes instead? Heh. From your reaction, that anonymous comment sounds pretty bad, and I'm curious how it was worded. Also, that anonymity was probably just a cover for the lack of interest and effort to summon up proper manners.

Regarding the choices, there are quite a number of caveats. The first is that bad grammar/spelling doesn't bother me much, unless if it's really glaring and consistent. Concrit, for me, would encompass more than that, and it's more about the story's potential than the author. Not that the latter doesn't matter; it does, a lot! But -- there's a very big but -- it would have to be an author who welcomes such comments. And this has to depend on what other fics the author had written, and then their reaction to something brief in the comments (hence the direct comment in public). If such a mention did not invite further questioning from the author, then I'll just have to leave it be.

So hm, it's not really a cut and dried set of circumstances.
