"You appear to be new to LJ fandom and the concept of fic reccing, but mickeym was being polite in her response to you. She was not attempting to encourage you in your use of her journal to expound on your Theories of Good Writing."
So it's not a form of communication and talking to people and sharing thoughts. Ok.
"Basically, by coming into this post and picking apart the story that was recced, it seemed that you were criticizing mickeym's taste or ability to recognize good writing."
Why on earth would anyone take such comments about a topic as a personal statement about them or their liking/disliking something? That makes no sense to me whatsoever. I would not have ever assumed that the LJ owner's personal opinion of themselves or their likes would be so wrapped up in or rely on what other people have as an opinion.
That's very odd to me. And certainly if my comments were taken as such then surely I apologize for that. I would not want her to feel that way. I appreciated that she shared the story and recommended it.
Ok well thanks for explaining that to me. Next time I will make sure to be more in tune with the nature of things.
