#reached my goals

[bamsara]

I think that one thing people fail to understand is that unsolicited literary criticism coming from an online stranger who is reading with no knowledge of what the authors intended goal is, is not going to be received the same as say: the authors beta reader or friends who know what the authors intended goal and has the sufficient knowledge and input to help the author reach that desired outcome.

"But I'm only trying to be helpful" How do I know you have the knowledge and literary skill for you to be able to actaully do that when we don't know each other and you are essentially a stranger to me? Are you applying this criticism based out of personal biased experience and desire to see the story or characterization be driven in another direction or tweaked, or do you know the author's intentions for the character? If the story is incomplete, are you basing your criticism of a character on the incomplete narration with only partial information available of them or are you building up a report until the story's completion? Did the author provide you with the information needed to make a fully informed criticism?

Have you discussed with the author what their plans are or are you assuming them based off the narration, especially if the narration is proven or implied to be unreliable or missing key points of the plot? Are you unbiased enough to help them reach their desired outcome for the characters and story regardless of your personal feelings towards the characters/antagonists and setting? Can you handle being told your specific input isn't wanted because you're a reader and/or have no written anything relating to their genre or topic? Do you understand and respect that the author's personal experiences might influence their writing and make it different than how you would have done it personally? Do you understand if an author only wants input from a specific demographic relating to their story?

If it's for fanfiction or other hobby media, are you holding a free hobby to a professional standard? Are you trying to give criticism because you feel like the author has produced 'subpar job performance' of their fic? Are you viewing their work as a personal intimate outlet or something that must conform with mass media? Are you applying rules and guidelines when the fic is shared for simple sharing sake? Is your criticism worded appropriately and focused on the parts where the author has requested input on rather than a general dismissal and or disapproval?

Have you put yourself in a place where you assumed you have the input needed for the story to evolve better, or have you asked what the author needs and what they're having trouble with? Can you handle having your criticism rejected if the author decides their story doesn't need the change and not take it as a personal offense against your character? Are you crossing that boundary because you think you are doing the author a favor? Are you trying to be helpful, or do you just want to be?

I think sometimes when people hear authors go 'please don't give me unsolicited writing advice or criticism' they automatically chalk it up to 'this author doesn't want ANY constructive feedback on their stuff at all' and not "i already have trusted individuals who will help me with my writing goals and- hey i don't know you like that, please stop acting so overly familiar with me'

Love the idea of positive reinforcement training. Teaching a boy tricks by rewarding him with a snack like a candy or sliced fruit. Having him eat out of my hand while I pet his head, praising him for being such a good boy. What's wonderful is that this literally could apply to anything, such as completing house chores or sexual favors.

Title from 'Alive' by Engrave

wc: 399 | rated: T (for language) tags: Eddie lives, concert, mosh pit, hopeful ending cw: references to depression [AO3 link]

Eddie feels alive again.

It's a fucking miracle.

It's already a miracle that he is alive and not simply a rotting corpse in the hellscape of the upside down. While his body was dragged out of there, patched back together, and made to breathe and pump blood on its own again, part of his psyche didn't get the memo and decided to play dead anyway.

Most days, he feels like doing nothing but rot – on the couch, in the new house, still feeling like a walking dead guy.

But not today. Today he's standing next to Steve in a sea of people, all screaming along to the lyrics of his favorite song. The infectious energy slowly seeps into him, making him want to be alive and move for the first time in what feels like forever. Then the crowd behind him parts, getting ready to let all hell loose, and he's itching to dive right into the pit – pushing, jumping, moving around with everyone in there – and just be alive with them.

Steve must feel it because he puts his hand on Eddie's arm, giving him a look and a little shake of his head, before he has to turn back around to intercept the first person stumbling into him and sending them back into the romping bodies.

Right, his body still isn't really healed either. It stings a little – but only until the next person comes hurtling towards them, and then it's Eddie's turn to push them back in, and another one right after.

Eventually he's content with being on the edge of the pit, side by side with Steve, protecting the crowd behind them and absorbing the energy of the people colliding together in front of them.

He could have gone without catching a shower of something – it has to be beer, he tells himself – just at the end of the song; it's easily forgotten when the next song in the set is an acoustic version of another masterpiece, when he gets goosebumps from how it makes him feel after being numb for so long.

Especially when Steve shuffles closer during the first verse, bumping his equally moist shoulder into Eddie's and reaches out to link their hands.

And he's never been so alive as when Steve – the miracle worker himself – sings the refrain at him, around the loveliest smile, promising more miraculous things yet to come.
