Horrible
04/03/11 By: PrincessErin
The title of this story says it all. Another rambling, pointless story.

Above is the comment that PrincessAirHead left on my story, Washing Bottles and Cans Topless.

It's ridiculous because the story is not horrible, nor does it ramble, nor is it pointless.

I'd be offended if it was a real comment from a real reader and a serious writer, but she is neither of those.

For those who enjoy PrincessErin's comments of your stories, don't. What she does is, she gives your story a low vote first, then she writes a glorious comment, so that you'll think she loves your story and hopes you'll win the contest. She didn't and she doesn't. She just wants you to believe that you're her friend. You'e not.

No matter. The woman, an understatement, has issues. I wish she'd just put me on ignore. I don't bother the woman, but she can't stop herself from trying her best to annoy me.

It doesn't work, PAH. Get some help. Take your medication. Put your doll down and stop pretending that you had a baby two years ago, because you didn't. No man in his right mind would touch you. Look at you. Go ahead, look in the mirror. You forget that I know what you look like. You sent me your photo back in 2007.

You're short. You're obese. The only thing worse than your dirty, stringy hair is your acne.

Why are you here, Erin? Why? You don't read anyone's story. You pretend that you do. You can't write. You're a terrible writer. You write the same abbreviated stories that have no plot, no beginning, no end, no dialogue, and no character development that you wrote back in 2007.

You are the one who writes a horrible story. Admittedly, however, and gratefully, your stories are too short to ramble. Thank God.

Oh, by the way, another one of my stories posted this morning for you to bash, Honey. Go ahead. Obviously, this is all you have in your miserable life to make you happy. I'm glad I can help you find some joy.

Typical

Another typical story of yours.


Thank you for reading, voting, and taking the time to comment on my story, Hug A Tree and Save A Marriage, Erin.

Only, there's nothing typical about any of my stories. Unlike the stories you write my stories are all very imaginative and creative. If you took the time to read my stories or any of the stories of the great writers here, you'd learn how to write, perhaps.

That's the difference between us, Honey. You write to score a point in the Survivor Contest, and I write real stories that evoke real feelings. Writing is my passion. Bashing is your passion.

I wrote 160,000 words in 30 stories for the Valentine's Contest and I wrote more than 100,000 words in 10 stories for the Earth Day Contest.

Tell me, have you out done yourself on this contest and gone beyond the 1,000 word story that you "typically" write?

Og is (will be) travelling...

Tomorrow morning I'm catching the ferry to France, driving right through Belgium, for a week's break in Holland.

Please keep this thread going to support and encourage each other while ignoring the posturing.

I'll be back before the results are announced.

Best wishes to all.

Posturing? If I was posturing, I would have written that my story, I Love You Mommy, written under my name, WmForrester has climbed from 250th place on the most read list to #208th place in just 3 weeks and has amassed another 200,000 reads bringing the total to just under 700,000.

If I was posturing, I would have written that I would have two other stories in the 250 most read stories, but I pulled them back in 2007 to publish them. One had 850,000 reads and the other had 650,000 reads, after only being on the board for a couple of months. I can only imagine how many reads they've had by now, 4 years later.

If I was posturing, I would have bragged about my green E that I received under Bostonfictionwriter, never to get another one, because I wrote an essay about Green E's. Hey, I thought it was funny, but Laurel didn't, even though I apologized to her for my humor. Hey, what can I tell you, I'm from Boston. All the guys at the social club thought it was funny.

Hey, PrincessAirHead, how many green E's do you have? I looked at your page and at your alt, Bakeboss's page and I didn't see any. Maybe I just missed them, huh?

Then, I looked on the top 250 most read stories and I didn't see any of your stories posted there either. That's weird. If I were you, I'd PM Laurel. Surely, it must be a mistake. If you ask me, I think they may be discriminating against your stories.

Just because all of your stories are wicked too short, have no plot, no beginning, no middle, no ending, no tension, no dialogue, and no sex isn't a reason to keep your story off the 250 most read stories, that is, unless, of course, NO ONE IS FUCKING READING ANYTHING THAT YOU WRITE. Ah, of course, that's probably it and the reason why they call it the top 250 most read story list.

Not bad, considering there are more than 50,000 writers and more than 3 million stories posted. To think that I have #208 truly proves that my stories are not..."typical".

Ah, now that's posturing, Og.

Thank you for the soapbox.

 

[SuperHeroRalph]

Yes, thank you for asking, PrincessErin. My story, Spending My Summer Stripping My Mom, written under my name, Andtheend, is #13 on the twelve month 250 story list.

By the way, I looked at the 30 day, 12 month, and the all time most read story list and I'm embarrassed to report to you that I didn't see any of your stories on any of those lists.

It's such a shame, too, when you write so very many shitty little stories. You'd think one of them would take off like a rocket, huh?

Well, keep writing and people will continue not reading anythng that you write.

Have a nice day.

OG: Safe travels and enjoy your break!

MARLOWBunny and OTHERS being Attacked by TROLLS: Hang in there! We've all been there and will be there again. My first contest I had just enough votes, then the sweeps occurred and I didn't qualify. I thought, well what's the point? But my wonderful AHer friends here put things into perspective for me. Each subsequent contest entry has gained votes, ratings, comments, and readers. PLUS the biggest thing for me, other than the critiques, the contests challenge me to write more creatively and more in general. It also gave me the extra push I needed to pitch one of my stories to a publisher.

DARK: I'm where you are too. Just gotta write the steam and I'm set. My characters WANT to have sex, but are reluctant, or is it I'm the reluctant one?

A first meet/date gone awry hasn't helped! But...HE will make fascinating writing inspiration. I can't wait to delve into that! *Laughs* Now, if I could only get him to stop obsessively IMing, txting, e-mailing and/or calling me to tell me that we have an incredible soul connection and are "meant." After one meeting face-to-face. Yeah - been there, done that, learned that lesson. Seriously? He's going to make one interesting shifter story one day: what with his fangs (they were real), disturbing growl, and all. *groans and shakes head*

Back to the forest! Enjoy!

*chuckles with you, not at you*

I have a text file full of the weirdest pickup lines/situations and dates I've endured. That thing is story gold.

Best of luck with the real-life version, though.

 

[SuperHeroRalph]

Trolls?

Some of the worst bashers are right here on this page, huh, PrincessErin?

Smells like shit, looks like shit, it is shit.

She pretends to read everyone's story. She pretends to give them a high vote.

Only, she votes them a low vote first, knowing that the first vote is the one that counts, then she writes a glowing comment, along with her high vote, knowing full well that doesn't count, as she can only vote the one time.

Trolls? Give me a troll any day to the back stabber who pretends to be your firiend and fellow writer, while hiding in the shadows to bash your story.

Ah, I feel better now, somehow cleansed.

Don't believe me? Answer me this question. How come when PrincessAirHead makes positive feedback comments to stories, they all appear one after another on the feedback portal?

Either she's a wicked fast reader or, no, say it's not true, she doesn't read anyone's story. Wow!

And you thought all of her comments were sincere.

Sorry. She's the troll that you're all griping about.

 

[LunaEroticaMystica]

LettersFromTatyana: Inspiration can be found anywhere and should be accepted for the "gift" it is, right? *chuckles too* I did/do give fair warning to all in my life (no matter how brief) to be careful what they say or do, because it might one day end up in a story. Fair game? *haha* Of course protecting identities, if I do go that route.

Thanks. It felt like I was either on a movie set, or stuck in a twisted, erotic tale (the telling, not the doing). He has enough material to write his own stories/novels (if his experiences were real and if not well he's got one crazy imagination.) And really, who on earth would reveal all of those initimate, private details on a first face-to-face meeting? I narrowly escaped getting my neck pierced by those fangs. *shudders* Sorry, a stranger growling in my ear is not so arousing. It might be different if it's someone I know and trust. I guess he isn't well-versed in kiss-dodging, either that or just didn't give a damn. No text message this morning, maybe he's given up. *fingers crossed*

Sorry folks but I have been hired to do a job. And no, I don’t particularly like being a garbage man but hey, cousin gabby pays me pretty well. And somebody has to do the job. So I’m doing my weekly cleanup of the various Scouries Threads and returning all the AH trash that’s been deposited there by LITEROTICA’S #1 retard and others. This particular piece of refuse was deposited on the A.I.R. CONTEST thread. Unfortunately there’s more to come…

DARK: I'm where you are too. Just gotta write the steam and I'm set.

I just finished the first orgasm in my story. Probably another thousand words, and I'll be ready to fade to black before they go for round two after cuddling and talking for a while

Then, I can finally put this one in simmer mode and write on something else for a couple of days before doing some spicing and a final read before sending it off for first-reading.

I'll be late making it in, but I'm going to make it in time.

Heck, just look at the wonderful authors who’ve already won it! Thanks A.I.R.!!!

And thanks Gabrielle L. She’s a lovely young lady.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if ‘you know who’ won the EARTH DAY “MANU”?

 

[Darkniciad]

Anyway, for the actual people reading and posting...

Only 10 days left to get your entry in. Time to get cracking!

 

[manyeyedhydra]

Yowza's. I just hit 200 votes. For an Erotic Horror story.

Congrats -- that's an achievement!

That title is a major eye-catcher *laugh* I'm fairly positive that the description of F.F. and the little twist of narrative genius you ended that description with right at the beginning hooks everybody intrigued by the title, too.

 

[TxRad]

Sorry again folks for the elephant in the room. He can't take the truth and this is his childish way of retaliating.

It's only going to get worse as soon as I post my story, unfortunately.

Dude, I gotta say, I have to agree with PrincessErin regarding the rambling. I just clicked on your story to see if you were right about her bombing your entry, and I found it a pretty hard story to get in to. You start off with a story about winning a recycling competition, and you hint at an interesting but secret ulterior motive that your main character had for participating. Then you go off on some weird spiel that leads to a couple paragraphs of unrelated commentary about Japanese porn. When that's over, you begin the next line with "Getting back to the recycling..." but you aren't getting back to the recycling! Instead, you begin describing the first time your protagonist saw his sexy neighbor, interspliced with extensive commentary about his old neighbor, which doesn't seem relevant. At least not in great volume, like you provide.

I haven't voted on your story as I only read the first page, but I just wanted to suggest that maybe PrincessErin isn't some nut out to get you, maybe she does read your story and she's just a critic saying what she genuinely thinks.

I'll admit that often genuine critics do get it wrong, and I agree PrincessErin's criticism could've been much more constructive. But, if I may offer some advice, try not to let it bug you so much.

Every author get's a frustratingly vague critic trashing their work every now and then, it happens. But judging by the numerous posts you've made about her, the way you've given her a taunting nickname, and the way your trashing both her work and her physical appearance, it seems like you're letting her get way too deep under your skin. And to be quite honest, it makes you seem a bit petty.

If you two don't get along (as you obviously don't), don't bait her. Just leave things be and the Lit admins will wipe any 1-bombs she makes off your story scores, anyway.

Grrr... power just went out on me in the middle of writing. I was lucky enough to have saved not long before, and the automatic backup caught a few paragraphs more, so I only lost about two paragraphs.

It was the last straw to push a steadily building paranoia over the edge, though. Despite having a couple of layers of physical backup for my most important files, I went ahead and signed up for online backup as well. The power flickered about a half a dozen times before I could shut off the power strip and unplug from the wall, and there's always the chance that could fry something.

No more taking a chance on that.

Now, to rewrite those lost paragraphs while they're still fresh in my head.

 

[mythtrav16]

I've noticed that in the announcement post for this year's competition, they don't mention ecology as an acceptable entry theme, though I'm pretty sure I saw it listed in previous years' posts. I can't tell if this omission is deliberate or accidental.

If ecology is a suitable entry basis, could someone let me know if a story based around a guy nursing an injured wild animal back to health would qualify as an 'ecology' story? I have an idea along these lines that I might be able to do something with before the competition closes.

It isn't so much what the competition rules say, but what the readers think of the story in relation to the theme. My view is that it would be appropriate but others might disagree.
