alright, first of all hon, no one here is anywhere near a professional. but some of us have been writing for a lot longer than you have, meaning we have advice to give that you actually might appreciate
as for the destructive comments thing, no one was leaving those. all anyone here is saying is that you should have tagged it as spoilers, or at least left a tw, and that you wrote it in a way that isn't accurate to actual survivors

This site is the one place where i dont get judged, but instead get actual good advice.
Really?
Because that contradicts everything else you've said
Oi, @Divine-Irish-Potato, do you avoid all criticism this way?
That would certainly explain the quality of your writing.Also @DoctorOfTheDead, I would prefer if you didn't insult people judt because of their writing skills, I'm only an amateur writer, okay?
- you described a character having a boner in a roleplay with a nine year old. She's. Fucking. Nine.
- you're annoying and rude as fuck
- your sexual assault scene was absolutely terrible, clearly you have no understanding of how any of that works, "panties" has an awful connotation and is very uncomfortable, and you refused to spoiler tag it, despite knowing it's a triggering subject and being asked to several times
And that's just off the top of my head, so yeah, people don't like you. You have to do research if you're going to write something like that, ESPECIALLY if you're going to share it. Or just use common fucking sense because it's really fucking obvious that you don't pressure a friend into talking about a traumatic experience and they certainly would not tell it like that. It's disgusting. Get off your ass and stop being a lazy, vaguely misogynistic writer and do your research about subjects you don't know shit about. You cannot bullshit your way through a sensitive subject like that, and you certainly cannot play the victim card when people say it was very uncomfortable.
You know what? You're right. You're absolutely right. I will change myself and my writing and improve myself. Thank you for being blunt about it.
I was wrong in the past, But i will improve myself and be a better user and a better person.
yeah…improving yourself and your writing is kind of the point of life and a writing site…

is kind of the point of life
That hit kinda hard and I think it's just a me thing but thank you
Now I wanna try and be a better person
I'm gonna go for a run later or something
@Pickles-EmpressOfKangarooRatsAndAceSnail If there's anything else you want to address, please do
This is probably the most mature respectful argument I’ve seen here-???
of course that’s not saying much considering the thread we’re in

you gotta take pretty nature photos to commemorate it tho. then you also have photos you can look back on when you aren't doing great mentally and vibe to

I might be a piece of shit, but I agree with that
Dont put words into my mouth.
I didn't?
I fixed the spoiler thing,
thank you. I do mean this sincerely.
and I'm currently fixing the rest, okay?
While this is also good, I'm not sure that posting something like that, where you're still working on a lot, on a thread for mostly completed and edited scenes is the best place to go. It seems more suited to a critique thread where someone can give you feedback, rather than people expecting to be upset because something is genuinely heart wrenching, not because it's very insensitive. If you're looking for good examples of sexual assault and rape scenes, I highly recommend The Kite Runner and The Orphan Train. Also, if you're attached to the idea of 'panties' being used, you could try having the attacker say it rather than the victim, because having the victim say it is clunky and strange, especially given the context and the sexual connotation. It makes more sense that a person who believes that rape and sexual assault are okay and a good time or whatever would use a word like that.
I don't feel like getting into a fighting. This site is the one place where i dont get judged, but instead get actual good advice.
Really? Because that's not what how you're making it sound.

You know what? Thank you. I was enlighted from all of you. I will fix that scene. Not immediately, but I will.
I'm sorry about what went down in this thread just now, but can we be cool now? Sorry for the awkward wording
group
I can't believe that all this went down while I was at the dentist
Also, that was not me being destructive, luv. I can be much, much worse.
notebook commune
Well I am seriously considering starting a communitarian society. Idk if I'll ever do it. But I want to.

I'm a bit worried, but intrigued.
I need roommates. Like, I couldn't live alone. I'd at least need a spouse to live with, but if not that then definetely friends.
Totally same.

All this, 100%
Love you Lizzie <3
Dom you're the kind of person that would accidentally start a cult and then have a slow descent into evil and madness. I would read a book about you doing that
I'd write that
honestly if any y'all need a roommate for college and we end up near each other,,,
I'm just saying
Same. Just bring a fraction of the rent to the table.
Anyone else get T-rex arms?
(As an eczema thing. Not in general.)

No spouse for me, but I definitely need to live with someone. I can't do shit without someone there for me to think about
Like no one comes in my room so I've developed the habit of not cleaning. I wouldn't clean anything if I lived alone
Not to mention I get scared when I'm home alone for more than an hourI don't want to live alone. Being alone makes me uncomfortable and I like to know that there's another person there with me, otherwise I feel…off
I'm not very knowledgable with house stuff so I'd need a roommate or friend or maybe a spouse (although I don't really see myself getting married even if I do fall in love)
Marry an aro ace for tax benefits and general companionship.

Not to mention I get scared when I'm home alone for more than an hour^^^ all of that
plus i tend to get really sad when i’m alone for long periods of time
In the same vein, I got so excited when I went to Walmart yesterday. There were a lot of people.
Honestly being roommates with Dom would make me feel safe. Because he's Big and Male, but he's also not going to attack me or hit on me
This is exactly why his cult commune would be so successful.

I'd totally marry her for tax benefits but there's the small issue of my conservative family and us both being girls
