Well that's still better than free verse. They might not be looking but it's the actual rejection of criticism that's a problem. When they object to someone saying how they could improve, often with the defence of just doing it for fun, it says to me that they don't care about what they put out into the world, aren't interested in improving the fandom and frankly don't respect their art.
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
