Haha! Funny that you should use the word "vibe"! I was on Discord last night and used that word. I thought that based on this post above that perhaps they are easier to approach. It did not go well. I was actually trying to address the attitude that is prevalent there. Not be "handled" about their teachings. The "rules" of writing that they like to talk about is not unique and can be found on many websites. All I was trying to cultivate was the presentation of those rules, which would have been to the benefit of the group.

That's a bummer that it did not go as you planned!

Well, what I can say to you about that right now is that persistence is key. Sometimes you just need to push past what you perceive of the communication and look at the value in it. If you ever get to a comment that has no real value, then, of course, you can complain. However, you should find that almost everything that gets said (that is meant to be serious) does, in fact, contain value.

The proof is in the pudding, Zak. We're not going to change our approach to helping people produce quality fiction no matter who disagrees with us. If the "vibe" of hard work, discipline, and attention to detail is offputting to anyone, then fine. No one forces them to participate. But we'll see in the end, won't we? We'll see whose approach garners more success with mainstream readers. The publishing industry is tough. It doesn't care if you get offended by the way it works. TWB isn't here to help people get Curies and pats on the back from supportive Steemians, although those are always a nice bonus. We're here to help people on this platform sell real books to real readers in a real mainstream market. Some people have what it takes to buckle down and do the work. Others don't. But like I told you, it's not like we're going to be out on Steemit flagging posts with writing that doesn't meet our standards of quality. Those authors can write what they want. But if they come into *our* workshops, they're going to hear what we teach. And our standards are absolutely not up for debate, nor is our delivery. Our system has worked too well for too long, and too many good writers have found their voices in our community for us to change things around just because some folks aim too low.
