Actually, it's not the usual fanfic author-bashing (which get personal in a way that's so ridiculous since we don't know each other in person), but rather a community dedicated to bashing fanfics that people don't like. Especially those that are well-known and much praised.
Some of the critiques/complaints are so vague as to be useless ("all Harry/Snape fics!") but others are pretty specific: "most of the characters are just orig characters with canon character names attached."
After I saw that I started scanning for own stuff, because, hey, that's pretty helpful. So I started scanning for my own stuff (heart in mouth but also ready to be brave and honest). But alas, it turns no one bothered with my fics.
Alas? Well, I suppose, in a way. I always hope people will be honest enough in their reviews, and will tell me straight to my face. But most people don't bother to review, and apart from a few flames (I got one reply that started "You made them GAY? That's disgusting! How could you do that?!" and pretty much continued in the same way), most people simply say that they like it or it was cute or funny or angsty or whatever, and leave it at that. No real criticism, nothing that can give you new insight and can help you improve. Some few do. I suppose these are the ones who want the same in return. These are the best reviewers. But as there are so few, I can see the point of a thread like this.
