I realized that thing with the reviewers, yes. I just felt it necessary to air some of my grievance, but I suppose I could've done so with less pomp. It's hard to hold it in when your sincere desire to improve upon a talent you have been nurturing for nearly a decade is basically met with a slap to the face.

For certain people, yes, this site may provide that growth. I'd factor it to luck when they're met with praise and/or actual advice. Hell, maybe I caught Leaf at a bad time.

How can I improve? I suppose you didn't consider that there are other places? Maybe...writing contests? NaNoWriMo? When there's a will, there's a way after all.
