[quote=@gcold] The opposite end is not an enjoyable experience either. Being showered with criticism is not fun. Sure, things like fitting characters into roleplays, or actually using quotation marks for dialogue are very important. However, things get annoying when somebody harasses you to put that period inside the quotation marks, or how "fjord" is the correct spelling instead of "fiord". Also, give people time to improve, and space for minor recurring errors. Everyone slips up once in a while. There's no point correcting people if their mistakes don't affect storytelling or comprehension, and I find that telling someone once is enough; not willing to improve to the RP standard is a choice to not participate. [/quote] Sure, I'll complete the trio. Asking for criticism and wanting your writing to really be dug into, only to be met with indifference, saying 'it's good, dw dude' or get wholly unhelpful comments that get taken back as soon as you ask the other guy to elaborate. Whenever it feels like I'm doing something wrong and ask the people I'm roleplaying with for advice, they never give anything beyond very minor and specific nitpicks that they only bring up once I push them for it. Even then, half those nitpicks get taken back five minutes later. I know I'm not anywhere near the level I want to be at, but if I don't know where I'm going wrong it becomes more of a far-fetched dream compared to a goal.
