mithen--How do you deal with poor reviews?
See, with fanfic "poor reviews" tend to not be very constructive, so there's rarely much to take away from them other than "this person really disapproves of slash" or "this person really hates Character X." I tend to chew over bad reviews, even that kind, more than I should--and eventually just forget them and move on. There usually isn't much I could do to accommodate them besides deleting the fic!
I got writing done this week! Just 400 words or so, but it was a lovely feeling. And writing Clark and Bruce again, albeit a gender-bent Clark! Like wearing a comfy pair of slippers. My online classes start Monday so maybe once I get the desperate prepping done (they went online abruptly!) I'll be able to do some more! I hope things are good with you as well, in writing and in life...
