Date: 2011-10-23 01:41 am (UTC)Usually, I get a stiff reply, along the lines of "I don't care about any of that, I just want to write and make myself happy." I don't reply to those comments; I just ignore the writer thereafter, and bitch about them to my partner, who reminds me that I promised not to get suckered again.
Every once in a while, I get a reply that thanks me sincerely for the feedback and says "I wondered about that, thank you, I knew it was a problem but didn't know what to do." Those people aren't the ones with Just Plain Bad writing; and they are the ones I often end up working with, repeatedly, for years.
They make up for a lot of the idiots.

Date: 2011-10-23 01:59 am (UTC)My own personal attitude is that there is, or should be, a problem with writing crap and being happy about it; for too many people, this means narcissism and stagnation. They'll never get any better in their blithe crapitude. But that doesn't give me any right to tell people that their work is crap. Unless they ask.
Even then, it's more useful to the universe if I tell them "You need to work on [aspect of writing], because [nature of why it isn't working]." If they ignore it, well, at least I didn't abuse them. And occasionally, the result is someone becoming a better writer. That's worth a lot of crap.
And I am now being prodded to go have dinner. Back later! Really, this time!

Date: 2011-10-23 02:03 am (UTC)Because If I have to struggle with my dislike of the content, to be exploited as the only person who'll read the story & give detailed feedback, then it's a waste of time for both parties.
