Just before anybody critics this, know that I need no bullshit. I want the critics to be directed at the text rather than what it speaks about -- that doesn't mean I'm saying you can't critic the content. Just know that, as an author, I can write about whatever pleases me and you are nobody to judge my preferences or me as an author.
This is also for everybody else willing to make his or her novel: People may tear your masterpiece to shreds, absolutely destroy it, walk away laughing, and leave you in the rain. Support those! Unless you're willing to learn from them, there is no way you're going to learn anything and thus improve your writing.
