Re: Give honest critique on Deviantart ...
Most people claim to want honest critique but can't handle it when it's not what they want to hear. It's true on DA just as much as it is in any other thing people ask for criticism on. I say this now, but when I start circulating my novel amongst my friends, we'll see how I react to the critiques.
That said, I've had some (not many, but a couple) people absolutely trash my writings on DA. I had one person say nothing more than "Wow...that was the worst thing I've ever read". I didn't ban him for it. I calmly asked for any tips I could get to improve and never heard back from him. Frankly, it never bothered me all that much.
