also fanfic writers write whatever they want to read for themselves first and foremost. they didn’t write to please you, random stranger on the internet.
fanfic writers didn’t force you to read their works. they’re kind enough to let you in their house for free if you want to. if you don’t like how they decorate their own house, quietly leave instead of telling them things you want them to change about their own house to better suit your personal preferences and calling it “constructive criticism”.
if they specifically ask for one, then sure. give them that. but if they didn’t ask and if you don’t have anything nice to say, quietly leave.
this is our hobby. something we do for ourselves as a form of self care. we don’t get paid for it. and personally if I, as a fellow fanfic writer, want constructive criticism and if I want to “get better” at writing, I will ask for honest feedback from people I personally know, whose opinions I trust and value, not random strangers on the internet who, more often than not, just give me lists of things they want me to write for them and their personal likings instead of any actual constructive criticism.
