Synopsis Policy

Commissions are temporarily closed
============================
Greetings, random citizen!
In preparation for my next story, which is once again thanks to my dear friend
isisazza for RPing out with me, I have decided to institute a policy related to my Criticism and Irrelevance journal.
I'm going to provide a brief synopsis of the porn stories I write. One-Three sentences. This synopsis is going to be placed on the story, and in either this journal or another one, listing all the synopses of the stories. This is applicable from here on out.
If I were to rewrite the story to follow your criticism, but to do so would require me to alter my synopsis, then I will likely not take your criticism. I'm sorry, I wrote what I wrote, and if you wanted me to write something different, I feel sorry for the fact that you weren't pleased (I want everyone to be happy and I know it sucks when a story doesn't meet your expectations) I likely won't be taking too much count of criticism amounting to "You wrote a thing I didn't like." I sympathize, I thank you for reading anyway, I'm sorry you didn't like it, and I still value your comments. I'm just going to be moving them to another place.
So, first. Why delete? Because quite honestly, in my experience browsing FA, I often see comments on things I like that come down to "I don't like this fetish, ha!" I'm rather put out by those. It feels to me like you're just showing off how much holier-than-thou you are by not being aroused by the same things I am.
Of course that's not the intent at all, but I know I'm not the only one to feel such frustration, and so I'm going to put all the things that would require me to have set out to write a different story, and put them in here.
Next question, why not just delete them entirely?
Because, I want to make this clear.
There's a reason the thing is called is called "Core Criticisms." It's because what was criticized was the 'Core' of the story. The very essence of what made what I set out to write, what I wrote. It's not called "Stupid Things Said By Stupid People" because every comment has value. As long as you're not insulting me, or someone else in the comments section, I have no interest in preventing your thoughts from getting out. I'm taking the name off because I understand some people might feel that they are being insulted by being put in here, and on the mad off-chance I get popular enough to have actual honest-to-goodness FANS, I don't want people who end up in here to end up getting mocked or something. This isn't about mocking you. If you want to be tied to your comment, just ask in here, or there, to be quoted.
A couple other reasons not to delete it. One is that, while I might feel now that this criticism wasn't particularly useful, my views might change. And the general thrust of what people who don't like stuff don't like can still be intriguing in and of itself.
And what if I deleted it and I was wrong? If you feel I deleted your comment wrongly, then by all means, let me know. I'm human. We make mistakes. Having the comments I would have deleted all here means I can see what you said and we can discuss it. And if I did make a mistake and put it here, I'll copy it back into the comments section along with an apology.
And finally, I want to see good, thoughtful, and intelligent comments. And you could well have written a good, thoughtful, and intelligent comment about why you don't like the fetish, or some other thing inherent to the story. I'm not going to rule out the possibility! I want to keep my sexy stories in a sexy environment for people who read them. Which means, I feel, cutting out things that might come down to "You're wrong for liking this fetish."
But I don't want to have what you said cut out entirely. If you weren't insulting, just stating your own view, it would be wrong of me to try to remove you entirely. And at the very least, if your thing along the lines of "I'd rather see maledom than femdom" or "I'm not into straight" gives me a good idea for a story, I can have those thoughts here.
