User blog comment:PoorCynic/Workshop 5: Writing Missions/@comment-73.34.109.76-20170407175443

This guy definitely seems to know what he's doing. You're right about how nothing is irredeemable - I first learned that when I first got into the hobby of staring at Mary Sues to see what not to do. Can't wait for more workshops! (Especially reading the one that's actually about missions, reading Neshomeh's post below ;P)

...Oh, speaking of that, I'd like to ask your advice on a situation I'm in. I've got a few IRL friends who don't always write the best stuff, and those two factors (being an IRL friend of mine and not always writing the best stuff) have combined to result in me usually MSTing their stuff hard. Do you think they'd be able to take me seriously if I did some actual reviews of their work? If they won't be able to take me seriously or will use almost every excuse on the "FAQ: For Others" page, what do I do? Do I get someone else to review them so they have a fresh face to deal with, or do I continue MSTing them and hoping they get some sense knocked into them?

Thanks!
