Advanced Critique Encouraged

Journal Entry: Mon Mar 31, 2008, 3:12 PM
Okay, I understand why people put this. If I had a dollar for every bit of useless feedback.... But I feel it's a bad thing overall. I personally don't want to add a comment to a piece -- no matter how good -- if it says "Advanced Critique Encouraged." It makes me feel like unless I have something terribly insightful to say, my comment will be unwelcome. I don't always have insightful things to say, sometimes I just want to tell you that I loved it and I'll add something specific, but that's all. I personally think the artist should say something in their comments about wanting advanced critique, that way they can phrase it in a way that makes it sound less daunting (if they want) and really, the people who read the comments are the most likely to give advanced critique anyway.

Okay, sorry, it just really bugs me when I see that because I don't want to comment anymore. If we had options aside from the four we're given, or even if we could put our own thing in, I think it would be a lot better.

On to bigger and brighter things!

I killed PsychFic! Okay, I know I didn't, but it's weird. I post my first story on the website ever and three hours later I can no longer get on.

I finally saw the film, The Invisible. It was advertized as a horror film, but it's not, they even cut the creepy scene from the trailer -- a fact which I am thankful for. It was more about the relationships and the characters than scaring you. That is what made it great. I completely recommend it. Not to you, joanie, I don't think you'll like it and I probably won't either when I'm your age, but the my age people who are like me, they'll like it.

I want to start taking photographs with my phone. I don't know what of, I just want to.

Also, I'm seriously considering buying myself a subscription. I'll probably regret it if I do, being a poor college student and all but the adds bug me. I don't mind normal ads, but they keep reloading after I'm already on the page. It makes my poor, innocent laptop use extra energy and it doesn't want that. *sigh*

That's all for now. Hopefully I'll post stuff soon....

You can thank joanieponytail, she's the one who told me about your stuff. When I saw it I just went "cooool." Okay, maybe it wasn't "cooool" but it was definitely in that drawn-out-exclamation category.
