Oh, definitely. It hurts, but I learn so much. I love it when that happens. There's a lot of things I need to work on myself. Scene-description is one thing, as is mastery of the technical stuff, like comma usage and turns of phrases. And exactly, no concrit should be disregarded... it should be considere don its own merits, and then it's up to the writer to agree or disagree. And the ability to look closer keeps us on our toes.
Why is it always me who gets the pyscho flamers on Fiction Alley that are pissed off because I write slash or because I didn't write the endign the way they wanted, or didn't pair up who they wanted? ;_; I've gotten some really nasty harsh crit on an OFC, but after walking away from it crying, I came back a few days later and learned. Haven't got anything like that since then.
