My recipient has left detailed, unsolicited, patronizing concrit on my fics in the fandom we share before. It's making it hard to want to write for them.

Gross. I’m so sorry. Can you dash something off and immediately put it in the anon collection?

Oh, God, this happened to me once. I knew up front that my chances of pleasing my recip were vanishingly small. I psyched myself into it by divorcing the prompts/DNWs from my recip's identity. My advice to you is to respect their DNWs, consider using one of their prompts, but write the fic for someone else--yourself, someone else you know in the fandom, an unknown person who will stumble across your fic at some point in the future.

It's a gut punch when this sort of thing happens, but it can also be freeing. Good luck.

Oh wow, that's a really rough deal. Your writing is better than the way that makes you feel!

Do you have anyone you can talk to in the fandom who can cheer you on specifically?

Lol, Renault fandom?

Either Renault fandom - or JS&MN - or the Aubreyad.
