Been through that mill, all you end up with is a whole bunch of people and their opinions on what
they want your fiction to be. I believe it's one of the reasons why a lot of fiction is so weak and pale; the writer is trying too hard to please too many people instead of giving their own view of the world. That's why we read fiction, right, to see through the eyes of another? No writer can possibly please every reader, they shouldn't even try. So if I'm complimented by a reader, I have all the time in the world for that reader. But, just as in the life beyond my fiction, a person with nothing but complaints and who believes they can change me for the better, will get no attention at all.
Screw them
Writing is a passion, not the result of a committee.
