It's too hot to do homework.

I guess it is rather amazing how, when I flip back and forth through my progressive drawings, how much I was able to improve upon the characters' appearances and how (relatively) terrible the previous pic looked, even though at the time it was taken I thought it was the best I could do and even though I thought I haven't done much work at all between "snapshots." ::breeeaaathe::


So here's a thought. What if FF.net was split into two sections/categories?

One for the serious authors who are looking to hone/improve their craft. Only constructive, intelligent reviews here. There's no restriction to the quality of the stories posted here, but you MUST be willing to listen to others' advice, or else get tossed.

One for the fangirlz who just wanna have fun. They can post any inane sugar-rush brainspew they want, and the only feedback they can get are the gushing netspeak raves. No quoteunquote "flames" allowed, nothing that'll hurt their widdle feelings, and they can beg each other for their precious "r/r plz" all they want.

The two policies are not allowed to mingle. If you're a teenybopping author who wants to venture into serious ficdom, no problem, but your story posted in the serious section will be held to the serious rules, and vice-versa of course.

So now, anyone want to let me know how this won't work in reality?

More elaboration on the example: I think there are many people who write the fluff who are still vain enough to think that, even if they posted in the serious category, they would still get only good reviews. That's what I'm trying to say when I say that I think a section where people are guaranteed raves is not something many would be interested in.
