I probably won't be using this journal very much, but I figured I'd leave some info for anyone who happens to wander by.

Firstly, when I say "Advanced Critique Encouraged," I actually mean it. It might be a nice ego boost to read, "omg that's so good kawaaaaaiiiiiiiiii!!!!!1" but ultimately, a good critique is much more useful. A good critique will tell me:
1) what you think I did well, and why
2) what I did poorly, in as much detail as possible, and any suggestions as to how I can fix it
3) what was ok, but could be better, and any suggestions as to how to make it so
...and it will, ideally, do so politely. A critique is not the same as a flame

If all you have time to leave is a short comment, I understand, and I do appreciate it. But if your comment can help me improve, all the better. You aren't going to hurt my feelings
