Where do you draw the line between rude and constructive? I draw the line with when they only have complains there sound a bit like insults and dont say anything helpfull
example a review I got for my story which I would say is pretty good (and so do a lot of others), she said it had to many mistakes to continue, but she didn’t mention any of the mistakes she thought it had, only that she didn’t like the way i made the CC, she said her self the story was good but she felt like saying it wasn’t good enough to continue reading
what she said felit like asking if this dress was pretty and they said yes and gave it to them and they said no way I am waering that
giving a review can be rude, because sometimes peoples stories are just bad, but if you just tell people you think it’s bad without giving them advice on how to improve you shouldn’t be doing review
again example I just myself gave a review on a story where it was jumping from scene to scene barely spending two lines in each, I asked a lot of questions if some of those scenes where important, gave advice on adding more dialogue to the scenes, and even send her a few videos to help her writhing.
Should someone asking for constructive criticism be prepared to deal with rude comments?
Yeah they should, you want honesty in a review, but mostly you want help, if nothing in the review helps it was a waste to get it
Should people be held accountable for being plain rude if someone asks for constructive criticism?
yes, I think so, when you give a rewiew you are there help the person improve the story not ruin it for them
How should someone asking for constructive criticism respond to the constructive criticism they receive? usually friendly, I had a few who asked and got angry because I wasn’t there really bad story was amazing and I loved it, if you can’t take criticism you shouldn’t get a review, now I can understand disagree, but if your response to been told your story arent good is to insult the person who said that you aren’t ready to put your story out in the world,
How should someone asking for constructive criticism respond to the plain rude criticism they receive? depends, if the person are just rude and don’t help or give advice, I think the best would just be to write, thanks for the review it was very unhelpful I had hoped for some advice which you didn’t give any of, actually what you said was kinda rude,
