It's sad to read, that some people leave such ugly comments about your stories. A happy life to write about ir is wonderful, but it doesn't develope the writing skill and it's getting boring over the time. So I join your effort to say to other to do not give up. :)

One more thing. As a girl myself I cannot stand this strong female character thing that has infested every story ? *big eyeroll* and it's a big reason of why i stopped reading as much and write my own thing now. It's perfectly okay to have a "strong female" character and it's equally ok to have a passive, gentle soft one. God forbid if you write about the latter it's suddenly a crime. ? *bigger eyeroll*
And it's my personal preference that I enjoy reading about gentle girls who get saved by male heros. Like what's wrong with that?
Haha, I have the exact opposite opinion, I do not like the stories where the damsels are always in distress. :D
This comes from my childhood, where such stories were the only one I had to read, strong, good and independent women didn't existed in the children books, where I was born. My most hated cartoon was Popeye the sailorman with his Olivia, I really hate these figures.
The only strong women in these story were always ugly and evil witches who died at the end. Main reason, I guess, was to keep woman under the dependence of men, the old way thinking. I always found these witches faszinating and I wanted to become one too. Well, to be fair, I have never fitted in the society anyways and I have found it unfair to threaten people different, however I think it's wonderful to have different alternatives stories for everyones taste nowadays. :)
