While I generally agree with your sentiments, the man said he didn't want to participate. Lay off your little strongarming double-team posting combo supreme before I give you an ikari/psychicattack-style punishment.

The trick, I think, is to separate your ego from your work. True criticism (and, to a certain extent, criticsm from this forum in specific) is intrinsically harsh. It is meant to improve the quality of your work, not make you feel better about yourself. To quote the rules:

The Rules posted:

Critiques serve to help improve a piece of work - this doesn't necessary mean that the critiques have to be nice. This is, after all, Something Awful. If you're looking for quick, meaningless ego-padding, there are plenty of other sites out there that can help you out.

Nobody cares if you post something what you perceive as weak (mitigated by fanfiction and the like), so long as you stick to it and work to improve it. We all have to start somewhere and we're all here to make each other's stuff better. I can't even begin to list all the amateurish poo poo I've posted here over the years, but where I am now I do, in fact, owe somewhat to having honest, real, constructive feedback.

Thanks for that. I was going to mention that if we do have a weapon thread, it should be more of a Technical Thread so you leave room for general machinery, certain systems etc.

This is a way less creepy/goony take on the idea, I like it.

Hey there! I've just posted a new version of the rules for review, and I'd appreciate it if you all could take a moment to give it a read.

Advice and discussion about the rarely-discussed Chickencheese fiction genre would be appreciated in the thread, thank you.
