Zounds
Insults are different than criticism. Anytime you create something and present it, you are opening yourself to criticism. I can tell you I'm disappointed when I work hard on a story and my teacher just doesn't like it, but dangit if I don't try and take their advice back to my story and rework it so it's better.

Those who just bitch that people are "flaming" or "insulting" their work have no business creating because they are apparently already a master at their craft. "It sucks, DIE." is an insult. "Add more detail to the setting and try and develop the characters more" is criticism that trys to show you flaws in your story. It's not coming from an expert, no, but from someone who is quite studious on the topic of writing and actually bothers to sit through your tedious "story" to edit and help you improve it.

You want an insult? Here you go.

Your writing is pathetically bad and your inability to take criticism will never allow you to progress as a writer. Give up now, unless you know someone in publishing, in which case you'll probably be published and worshipped by failed fanfic writers everywhere.

In other news, I love each and every one of you on the otaku. Hehehe. More of you need to be in my group pic! Sure I can't finish without a scanner, but I'll figure something out! XD
