If you read my story I prefer that you leave a comment, hopefully in the form of a critique. My goal is to improve and I can't if I have no feedback to work with.

If you ask me for critiques, don't expect nothing but praise for your story. I am "harsh" and "mean" according to several writers on here because I didn't tell them what they wanted to hear. If you ask for a critique that's what I'll give you. If you've edited the crap out of your story and there's really nothing for me to critique except for little nitpicking, that's most likely what I'll do unless I feel busy. I only do critiques for critiques, so if I suddenly stop critiquing your work, it's probably because you haven't kept up your end of the bargain. I am not here to play. I am here to improve my writing and if I help you improve yours, even better. But if you can't handle someone being "harsh," "real," "mean," or whatever, then I would not suggest asking me to critique.
