I took a look at stories an AH poster submitted.

The scores are high, far higher than my wares, but theyre uniformly shit. I lost interest within a paragraph or two, the writing cadence makes me think of the theme song to Pee Wee's Playhouse. Theyre larded with adverbs, and people don't talk like the writer's characters.

I didn't ONE SHOT the writer.

Jesus. I forgot how trippy that show was. How did I watch that as a kid? That's some terrifying shit.
 
Interesting that you seemingly were unaware ("seemingly" because you've been pounding this drum forever already) that most writers/readers at Literotica don't really give two figs about the "literary" in the title and that ratings here don't correlate closely with what's considered good writing. I doubt whether most writers/readers here know the difference between an adverb and a fence post or that it scopes very high in the enjoyment they are getting out of the site. You yourself in what you post here don't seem to care much that this is an erotica writing site and that you don't write erotica. With that in mind, pretending to care about the overuse of adverbs--or toying around with the "guess who" game of who you're talking about--seems more than a bit petty. But then that's you.

^^^^^He's worried I'm speaking about him.
 
Of course not. My ratings have been shot to hell. Besides, I'm sure you know I don't give a shit what you think of my writing. You're just dying to tell us who you mean, though. It would just break your heart to know that we don't care who you want to pick on today. :rolleyes:

It could be so many of us, me included. Perhaps this is an easy way for you to deal with all of us in one broad stroke, JBJ?

There's no reason why characters in a story need to talk the way real people talk. They just have to be interesting. Broadway musicals are big business, despite the fact that real people don't break out in song - in duets and with a chorus - during normal day to day life.

Nobody in real life talks like Damon Runyon characters, or Tolkien characters, or Jane Austen characters, or freakin' Hemingway characters. Real people hem and haw and stutter and stammer and sound like morons.

Readers don't want real life in their stories. If they did, they wouldn't be reading stories; they'd be talking to their wife or their kids or their neighbors or their barber. Real life sucks.

PS - it was me, wasn't it?

No, I took a look at the submitters wares and was startled at the scores and the poor quality of writing. But McDonalds sells more burgers than steakhouses sell T-bones.

Well, let's face it JB everyone is always talking about him and only him...just ask him, he'll tell you.

Let's face it as well, Hatecraft, that I don't talk about me a third as much as you talk about me. I'm not a third as obsessed with me as you are obsessed with me. You've proving it right here on this thread. :D
 
Oh, yes, by all means, you and your buddies should keep this kindergarten stuff up. After all these years, you know it does nothing to me. but it certainly shows you. :D
 
Well, now, you guys are going to make James cry. You made yet another thread all about me before he had time to do the big reveal of what writer he was picking on today. :rolleyes:

I think many people are unaware that Peewee's Playhouse wasn't originally intended for children. Of course, it wasn't supposed to be frightening either, so I guess you've still got a good point.

1. I was absolutely freaked out by about 45 seconds into the PeeWee Playhouse thing. My god. That is scary stuff... How did they get it to air at all? Recently, I've been having a small conversation with someone about Rocky Horror, which, in hindsight, is starting to look like Jimmy Savile was sticking it all out there and no one got it. And, more to the point, a lot of people thought it was cute and 'sexually adventurous.' At the time, I wondered about all those people lining up for blocks outside of this dingy theatre. While I was on my way to see an x-rated version of 'Don Juan in Hell' at the time. No one went to see that, I think I was alone in the cinema.

2. I liked Banana Splits, still do, and I can't see the undercurrent that appears to me to be there in some of these other shows. But that could be reflective of me, because one day this banana is going to split from the bunch! Wahahahahaha (canned laughter and applause).

3. I realise that if the pilot all of a sudden one day stopped being so touchy or whatever he is that he is because he is something... then I would miss the sparks and things may not be as 'interesting.' MAYbe.

4. The figures on quite a lot of writers and their stories are deeply suspicious.

5. Pilot is actually a pretty good writer - don't know how he does it; perhaps his characters don't answer him back (lol).

Sort of would like to see how not touchy you'd be after three years of being stalked on this forum by an obsessed, crazy dirtbag. But thanks for the endorsement of my writing. It is what it is and I make no apologies for it. I'm not trying to be something I'm not (as a few regular posters to the forum know), which is what Hatecraft, with his small, troubled life, can't tolerate. :rolleyes:
 
If a future archaologist digs up the Lit 'most read' stories list he will conclude, firstly that 21st century writers were barely literate, and secondly, that it was a 21st century societal norm to screw your mother.

Look at the 'top 50' stories - all jerk off material, not literature at all. And they were never intended to be anything but wanking fodder.

The highest rating list is much the same - again not a criticism but a fact.

I think Pee Wee started on the old 1977 Gong Show, he was scarier then. And youre right about his original Playhouse....very adult.
