So in other words, you're not really looking for C+C; you're looking for
grammar corrections and nods of approval. You should make it clearer when
asking for these things, as saying 'C+C is very welcome' might mislead
people into giving some. There's no sense in wasting time giving

suggestions

to someone that's going to ignore them before they're given when there are
many others starved for C+C.

You know, this is something that has always bugged the hell out of me.  I
personally do not mind C&C that involves grammar and spelling corrections,
as well as correcting awkward phrasing, or perhaps asking for more
clarification.  It's my story, and I want to tell it in the best way
possible -- which is the purpose of asking for C&C.

But when I get C&C that involves someone telling me to change the plot
points of my story, major or minor, just to suit their personal whim?
*Especially* when they try to pass it off as genuine criticism, and not a
reflection of their biases?  Forget that.   If someone doesn't like the way
my story is going, they can read something else, or write their own.

Which I actively encourage, actually.  Many good fanfics and fanfic authors
are created from dissatisfied readers.
