This pickled vegetable...

So, on a lark I decided to write a fan fiction about, not a character, but a character's helmet. It was less than 2000 words and sucked a** but ya know what? All the reviews I've gotten for it have been nothing but praise. This just goes to show that fans will praise anything.

Discuss:
* Have you ever written anything that you knew was going to be terrible when finished but you did it anyway and got more positive feed-back than you think it deserved?
* Its a well know fact that we are our own worst critics, but can it not also be that people's standards are really low?

... could kick your a** !!

Dream as if you'll live forever...


Well, I don't think you should automatically assume that people are lying or have low standards. You might just be overly critical of your own writing. I know I'm terrible at judging my own writing. I think everything I write is total crap. I honestly have no bearings when it comes to the quality of my own work xp

Although, as for reasons why people might "praise anything" as you say, I think some people may feel guilty leaving bad feedback and so would rather just say it was great? Or, they may just be lazy. It's a lot easier to right "Really great!" than, "I really liked your idea but it has blah-blah problem, and I think your so-and-so could use improvement in that one part.. Also when you said 'la la la" it might sound better if you wrote "lee lee lee'" etc.

I rarely leave comments about things I don't like. I figure that they'll just think I'm being mean and complain. So I don't do anything.
