Oh yeah. I used to edit for a living, and part of my job was manuscript evaluations, so I got into the practice of 1) establishing the author's intent and 2) identifying the parts of the story that were working against that intent.
I can't deal with competitiveness at all. The value of my Discord groups is that we're all lifting each other up. Which doesn't mean that people can't be brutal, but it's brutality in service of making it a better story.
