Thanks. But it's still killed any excitement I had over winning, especially since I've seen more comments picking at the entry than otherwise. Oh well.
This might de-anon me somewhat but, I understand that feeling, one of my festival wins got torn into in a previous year and it made me take a long hiatus from submitting at all. I promise the number of people who like and will use your accent on their dragons far outweighs the drama-site folks who are picking at it. It says more about their behavior than your art.
this IS a comm where people go to bitch about things, and generally discuss what they either wouldn't consider appropriate to say in "public," wouldn't say off anon, or both. if two or three anons not liking your !!winning entry!! can get to you badly enough to kill literally all your excitement over that win, anoncomms may simply be too negative a place for you, and i'd earnestly suggest you do yourself a favor and not visit them.
