it fucking sucks that i gave him all the pointers he could use and he decides to just give up in spite of taking my criticisms fairly seriously and with openness. i genuinely gave him the best advice i could that helped him write better, so it obviously hurt me a bit that he just gives up like this. i gave his fic a chance, i did sing its praises as well as point out its flaws that could easily be worked around, and i myself am vulnerable (i split my consultation chapter in my vera fic in two because one guy said most of it was snca; i did it to fix pacing at the cost of losing the formality of one continuous scene).

it hurts to see someone have potential and just throw away all the praise you have given them.
