Yep.

With a little adaptation, also good advice for published fiction authors. (Anne. Rice.)And anyone else.

I mean, sooner or later, someone on the Internet is going to hate you. Might as well get used to that.

Yeah, fiction too. This is partially inspired by the whole RaceFail thing. Any creative work really.

"Thank you for your criticism. If it's not too much trouble, can I ask you to elaborate about exactly what's wrong and how I might do better next time?" would have ... uh ... nipped RaceFail in the bud.

Heh, yeah.

And if the people throwing a fit *are* petty bastards, or insane, or whatever, and you really don't care...well, then, don't flip out and then make like you're the innocent party afterwards. Have some balls.

If ACKoG gets published and I get hate mail from clingy chicks because of it? I'm gonna be all "pfft, whatever, you actually do suck"--but I'm not going to claim that they misinterpreted it or whatever. "A gentleman is one who never harms another *unintentionally*" and all that.
