Scribble Hub Forum

A brief reaction and/or reply is the bare minimum of etiquette to humanize fellow writers. Is this a heavy ask?

They want fluffers, not actual critiques.

Which just sucks.

Personally, if a person make a thread, in the first 2 months the op should endeavor to react or replying to every reply, unless its obviously talking to someone else and is a segue.

That’s why one shouldn’t bother giving feedback on heavily AI edited stories. They refuse to write their own work. It’s not much of a stretch to assume they’re not here for constructive feedback, but for readers.

That's why it's always good to prepare in advance for negativity.

I do so by making my reviews goofy and memey for myself to enjoy typing out, while still being very fair in providing constructive cricitism. Hand out all the Your Did It stars!

I realized long ago that 95% of people asking for feedback only want someone to read. You have to change the reason you are doing feedback. If you are doing it for fun or for yourself, their response doesn't really matter. It's still rude of them to ask for feedback and not respond, but oh well. The ones that really want feedback always DM anyway.
