You are so brave to go look for yourself on an anonmeme. I pretend they don't exist, especially now that I podfic, because I'm an emotional reader (I'm actually toned down for podfic!) and I know that that is the exact opposite of people's preference. D: I'd hate to see what they say. I dread not knowing, but I know that it would hurt me more to go look.
Yes, well, I've always been too curious for my own good. And I've spent a lifetime trying to learn to take constructive criticism without being crushed, so there's that. But it's risky, too. Some emotional wounds are permanent, and although we choose how to let others' opinions affect us, it can be very, very difficult to make the right choices. I think Jinxy is being really brave trying to move past this as she is, and I'm glad to see it. (Besides, I'd hate for fandom to lose a podficcer of her calibre over this BS.)
Well, I've been the recipient of a chapter by chapter sporking once upon a time, so the fact that I'm back in fandom if a little thinner skinned is something. I don't bother with anons anymore, bascially.
Oh whoa, that stings. I don't blame you. Fandom is supposed to make you happy, so you're certainly right to stay away from the parts of it that... really don't.
Basically if it's not a comment on my fic/podfic/journal, I don't care anymore and do not go look. But I cannot even believe these people (person?) are leaving these kind of comments directly on her stuff! *shakes head at people*
No, me either. I've posted literally hundreds of podfics and that's never happened to me. The worst I've gotten have been people complaining because the download won't work for them, or wondering if I can make a version without music, etc. They're more whiners than direct attackers. But then again, before Teen Wolf I always worked in Supernatural and Generation Kill, both of which are reasonably mature fandoms, I think, maybe more so than Teen Wolf, so I may run into it yet.
