Ha, i do believe you misunderstood. When I said the bit about not taking advice, I was quoting Kaneda so that I could tell him not to say that. Basically the one rule in anything to do with the arts is never to tell someone to stop, because writers, artists, actors etc. are the most sensitive people you will find on the face of the planet.

"If you think you don't need to listen to proper advice then you should just give up writing." WHOA. You NEVER say that to ANYONE. Okay, I didn't think this fic was the most polished. Keep in mind that the internet doesn't allow you unbridled freedom. However, take the worst writer in the world. That person can do nothing but improve. And comments like a lot of those above are both unnecessary and irrelevant. He won't improve if he rejects criticism, and chooses to only listen to those who praise his work. A writer who won't listen to criticism may as well quit writing, because their work won't go anywhere.

Arbiter, please calm down, Kaneda is simply stating (albeit bluntly D:< ) that people who reject Criticism shouldn't write because it hinders their growth.
Just try taking their advice and maybe asking for pointers from some of the fanfic writers around here, that might help.
And Kaneda, given Arbiter's approach to this, I think you should lighten up a bit or maybe give him more concise directions?

^That wasn't necessary. And you don't have to worry about comments like that here.

I'm sorry but you have to accept that some people won't like your stories. I'm sorry that that person responded so negatively to your story however, not everyone will be like "ZOMG THIS IS SO AMAZING <333" if they see problems with it. You have to accept the good with the bad.

So then just ignore them, or remove them if you can.
Take the comments that adequately point out what flaws you need to handle and what you can improve on.
It's nice to taste a hamburger once in a while, but too much and you'll become unhealthy. It's bitter to eat a few herbs, but enough and you'll grow well.

I really don't think you need to worry about that here. Honestly, I don't think the critiques were in that vein and all had legitimate points that you could improve on (kaneda's later ones were debateable I suppose... it's personal opinion). You can't equate a constructive criticism to a bad review and the comments you get from DA have nothing to do with the feedback here.

But I ask you this, did you get any reviews like that here? That were negative and were just flames? I don't think so. No one likes to get flames, I know that, but you haven't been flamed in your threads. The actions over there are not tolerable here and flames will be deleted.

Just ignore it and after you've taken some of the constructive crits from people, you might be able to show that your skills in writing vastly improved.
Then he'll have nothing more to say.
