Yikes. Okay, guys, let's all step back, take a breather and chill ourselves.
Gretchen, I understand how detrimental it is to have your story criticized. But good things come of it.
Mary, don't be too put out. I know you were just trying to be helpful.
And Pigquet, Noemi, Pedro, thank you for trying to smooth things over.
I know I'm not the mod, but I think it would be in all our best interests to just walk away to have some time to forgive and forget, okay?

Concur'd with Gwen.
Constructive criticism is GOOD. It may not seem like it at first, but it seriously is. It helps you shape you into a better writer, and isn't that all that matters in the end? She wasn't giving you excellent advice just to bash your story for the fun of it. When someone critiques it like that it means that they care for the sake of your story.
So cool down.
I know criticism hurts a little. One time I purposely asked for crit. on an illustration. Yeah, while there was some butthurt, Mara pointed out things that I might not have noticed otherwise (and for that I am grateful<3).
Gretch, she's not trying to be mean. I hope you understand that. And I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass, either. There was no need to resort to yelling (or capslocking lol).
):
And Mary: when giving criticism, sometimes it's good to mix the positives with the negatives and lighten your review up. Otherwise, you had some EXTREMELY valid points, and you hit the nail right on the head.
The only time critiquing gets ugly is when you're being a jerk about things for the sake of being a jerk. 8D Like myself with SMeyer. LOLOL.

Alright. All's said what needs to be said.
Now, everyone, drop it. Right now.
Breathe...go get a fruit cup...it's okay.
I know you have something you want to say...let it go. Don't post your thoughts, cause this is only gonna progress further. I'm ending it now.

Well thanks for replying, Lexi.
I'm glad you gave me a good review, and you're new yet too.
Look you guys, thanks for the helpfulness with my quarrel with Mary, you guys were a big help, but I really don't want to talk to Mary anymore. Okay?
I'm really serious about that. I just can't trust her anymore or talk to her after what she did.
But I'm with Gwen, let's drop this matter and I'll get back to my story.
Chapter 27 will be up soon.

Gretchen, it will be your loss. Just because she doesn't like your story doesn't mean she's a horrible person.
--sigh-- But I'm probably not getting through to you.
So, after this post, I do not want any more discussion about this topic from ANYONE. Understand?

Listen I would really like to update this ASAP, but I am so busy with midterms and I won't be very active again on here until next Friday.
That's when I'll update this story again, so stay tuned.
Today is the only day I can stay active. Tomorrow and Sunday I'll be studying, and also when I come home from midterms. I'll come on and check things, but I won't post anything.
So Friday you can expect Chapter 27 and part of Chapter 28.
See ya then.
