Feedback that doesn't exactly practice what it preaches?

[sinfullypink]

I am a newbie here on Lit, and only have one story submitted so far. It's been interesting to enter the Lit world of feedback. Especially since I did not proof read as thoroughly as I should have and did not catch all my verb tenses. (My story was originally written to be a role playing voice post. I didn't catch all verb tenses that needed to be changed to past.)

I really just had to show everyone the last public comment I got, since it's public anyway.

Once you get the grammer sorted out. you'll be excellant



Please, someone tell me this was an April Fool's joke! I just about choked on my tea laughing when I read it!

Typical anon comment. You'll get used to it.

English is obviously not their first language.

Welcome to the AH.

It happens *laugh* Everyone's fingers go a little fumbled, and we all have words that we can't spell to save our lives.

Still amusing, though. At least the comment was predominantly positive.

welcome in pink.

and yeah commentators are as given to human foibles as we, the authors are. Keep writing and soon enough you'll get the good and the bad, and the stuff that makes you really wonder what story they read.

 

[bb_peaks]

Yep. It does happen. Welcome to the AH.

FYI—You can edit your story and resubmit it if you like. It's something I've had to do a couple of times when I found a few errors.

Welcome to the AH.

Thank you!

Yeah ^.^ I'm waiting for one of those crazy comments like some authors get. The ones that are one forever long run on sentence with random CAPITALS on words that shouldn't really be emphasized and blasting the author for their perverted minds eventhough this is a sex story site.

welcome in pink.

Thank you!

But yeah, this person was being nice and bless their hearts for it! It's funnier when a comment that slaughters the english language like that is mean spirited!

Thanks And good, I will have to do that! Love that nipple ring too.

Here is one I got a couple of years ago, that I thought was pretty funny:

This story was obviously written by an amature. The author over used phrases (love hole and rose bud was used WAY too much), idea's, and the grammar had a bit to be desired.

That short paragraph has three spelling errors, (rosebud, overused and amateur) a punctuation error (idea's) and a grammatical error. (were used)

ETA: Hi, Pink, and welcome to the AH.

We have the same problem locally. It seems that every time the local schools invite the Media on campus, someone manages to create a posterboard that's painfully filled with misspellings and awful grammar.

Welcome to the AH. You should stop by in Abstrusions.

Welcome to the world of quirky anonymous comments. As others said, at least it was mostly positive. I do get a chuckle out of some people when I read the Feedback Portal. They blast the author for horrendous spelling and grammar then can't spell or construct a coherent sentence themselves. It is quite humorous.

I write in the "tame" categories (as far as negative comments go) so I don't get the ones who blast me too much. I have gotten a few on occasion, and I leave them for all the world to read.

Welcome to Lit and the AH.

I got a feedback once saying "this was not very erotic".

Since the feedback wasn't very erotic either, I guess it didn't practice what it preached.

I think it all depends on context, don't you think?

How about if a hot babe was breathing that in your ear with her hand wandering ... around?

If it's followed by "now watch this..."

That, yes.

I expect my week's worth of good luck!

Thank you! Your avatar is hotness.

Y'all want to see funny feedback?

Go read the so...today is Arpil 10. 2009 thread over in the feedback forum (misspellings/punctuation misuse in thread title exactly as he used them).

That was kinda poetic.

But that could be the acid speaking.

I had a comment saying that I should have used Gaelic for the time and place the story was set.

Err? Who would read it?

 

[LadynStFreknBed]

I don't pay much attention to anonymous comments, but one on my Earth Day story struck me as hilarious and perfect for this thread.


"soz bud quite clumsilly written."


I'm not sure what "soz bud" is. "Clumsilly" is a neat new word. It looks like it should mean physical comedy, doesn't it?

 

[driphoney]

I'm smiling as I read your comment. I was told once that I needed to learn "grammer." I do, but not as much as they do!

I thot 'grammer' was knitting in the parlor.

Comments such as these go with the territory 'round here and are a source of much hilarity. They are not to be taken in any other context except amusement.
