Not!

Your story was boring, infantile, and stupid. Perhaps you should spend a little less time trying to impress other's and have a little respect for other writers. Learning something about plotting, graphic description, and what makes a story erotic wouldn't hurt either.


Crap!

Maybe you should have saved this for your own fan club - total crap


*snickering* Oh, if only either of them had read the disclaimer at the beginning of this....

Disclaimer: I do not know anyone from this band, and I know nothing about their lives except what the media shares. This is just a hijacking of reality.

A/N: I seldom do instant sex, so you may want to skip this if you're looking for stroke. If you want a funny, light-hearted story with serious undertones and some serious build-up to the sex, you may want to continue. Questions, comments, flames, etc are always welcome. I am a feedback whore, admittedly.

*still snickering* I wish Anonymous would find the balls to hash over Killing Loneliness... although apparently that one isn't crap enough to warrant the flames.

ETA: And sadly... the comments by the most recent Anonymous seem familiar... damn if I know where from though... I guess that was the only one bad enough to throw poo at... stupid zoo monkeys.

Dragging with Conflict
05/29/06 By: Anonymous in NY
This story had showed promise, but you have endulged this story and yourself with so much conflict I've quickly lost interest after this latest chapter. You're dragging the story.

Enough is enough. This poor woman is a disaster--why should she want to stay with a man that doesn't protect her and a world that quickly judges and condemns her. This story should have been called "The perils of Adrianna." This story has no heroes, and no heroines--she's a martyr.
And it's not like we don't know who are the villains and who are supposed to be the heroes. In fact, at this point we can see the conflict over conflict...over conflict coming.

I'm gone.

Have you ever noticed that when someone doesn't like something you've written and they write comments like this one, it's always aimed at trying to make the author feel guilty about their writing? It's kind of a bad girl--shake your finger at them cuz they're bad thing. I guess you can't please them all...sigh.

I know this feeling well. I can't tell you how many times I've asked myself, "What do they want from me? Blood?" and how many times I thought the answer was probably yes.

Keep repeating the mantra, "I write first and foremost for myself" even though comments can sting, it's important to keep that in focus.

Thanks, but you know, sometimes you wonder if you get more than one bad comment on a story if there isn't some merit there. I guess I know I have enough trolls that like to feed on my work and that they'd write bad comments on my work if I put out the next new classic story. It just gets to you after a while when you put all of yourself into something to have someone call it dense.

Oh well, I guess I'm not as thick skinned as I'd like to be at 4 a.m.

You can't write for those who don't appreciate your work, whether they be one person or a dozen. There's a difference between accepting constructive criticism and changing your vision to meet someone else's expectations.

You have to write your story, your way, for yourself and for all the readers who comment that do get it. But yeah these things get to everyone at some point I imagine, can't keep those shields up 24/7. But sooner or later you'll get another comment from somebody saying how much they love this piece and all the doubt will be squashed.

At 4.00am, you need to be thin skinned, drawn taut, and smooth to touch. Just saying.

One 'coat of mail' I put between them and my skin is to ask myself whether they are really scribbling about me, or about them. For a crude example, a comment that this is a bad subject is really saying they don't like it, which is irrelevant to me. If they are daft enough to read a type of story they don't like, that's their problem.

Granted there are grey areas. "Where's the fucking plot?" about a story written to cut straight to a zipless fuck does tell you that it could be worth writing more plot, but then other readers do prefer immediate sex. If you aim a story at one preference, then it's inevitable you won't cater to its opposite. This tells you about both yourself and them - but it's up to you what you take from it. Both "OK, I'll try the other approach" and "Sorry, that's not what I like to do" are valid responses.

Bottom line, if you can try to be a bit analytical about the bombs, that can help to put a bit of distance in there, so it can hurt less (or even not at all, if you're very lucky).

Any way, I've got some cream here; would you like me to rub it in where you hurt?

Kittens like cream.

Actually, it's a mix of a lot of things that has me down and the comments on this story have just pushed it over the top. I need to just walk away and say to hell with it today, stay in bed and pull the covers up, mostly cuz walking is very very painful right now, even with the cane and brace.

But thanks all, it's nice to know that I'm not alone out there...

So lie down and let me give attention to where it hurts...

Far from it. The AH is full of loving friends - and fuck-buddies!

I think I got the same guy commenting on my story, well we all got the same guy, this thread is dedicated to him, but I think I got the same facet of him:

seth till getting away clean
05/23/06 By: Anonymous in usa
everybody else suffering and seth till getting away clean.i like the love talk the mom and son made.bring the girl into the fold,he can have babies my her and till have mom.three better than two.

He's been pestering me since Chapter 2 because he can't stand the villian having any success. No matter what the protagonists accomplish, if they don't destroy Seth, he's not happy.

We make too much of the rude or negative comments. We are not trying to write Shakespeare and we look for an audience.

If someone has gone to the trouble of reading my 2 or 3 pages, voting, and leaving a comment then I will take my hat off to him\her, however painful. We plead for interreaction.

If we were published, the only real stat we have is sales - here it is reads

Tell me about it, they (the Anonymous reader) take these stories as reality.

This ain't Survivor! (Now that's a really stupid show, IMHO)

I'd love to have to deal with sales as an idea of how my book is doing...lol.

 

[FallingToFly]

I'm in a bad mood right now, and I'm taking it out on anonymous. Why... well, Anonymous deserves it.

Recently, someone ran through and did a run of 1 scores on a lot of my work. Granted, I will say that neither American Baby or Falling are exactly marvelous, but neither are they 1 material- forgive me for actually preferrign to break my stories into short, easily read and plot-furthering chapters, you ignorant little twittages.

So, how do you know how they run through and drop one votes? Grab a calculator, and start adding various ratings (for instance, if you have 3 votes, 2 fives and a 4, you're rating will be roughly a 4.66.) If you have four votes and suddenly dropped nearly a full point to a 3.75, you've been 1 voted. It's glaringly obvious when it happens, and it's just fucking annoying.

I actually do keep an eye on my ratings for a PURPOSE, you sorry bastards. It's not vanity, it's practicality- anything that dips below a 4.5 has to be taken out, rewritten and reviewed again. It is extremely freaking hard to find an editor or group to work with for me right now, with so many of my writing group leaving the area and having personal troubles. I can't always see the issues in my own work. (But thank gods I have enough self-confidence to allow other's to criticise me!) It's not easy to find people willing or able to edit what I write. So, I watch my ratings. They help me more than PCs ever did, lol.

So, yeah, I flipped when I started seing an entire section drop rapidly. I started pulling them out of the file cabinet and skimming them, trying to find where I fucked up. Surprise, surprise... they were no better or worse than ever. They were being troll-bombed.

Would you sorry knob-gobblers GET A LIFE ALREADY?

[/rant]

 

[Darkniciad]

Low vote bombs with absolutely no comment are twice as irritating as any "omg ur storie sux0rz!!!!11" comment and a one vote.

It's really hard to believe that a one vote without any sort of commentary at all is any sort of honest rating, especially if your story is more than one Lit page long. They've clicked to read, clicked to flip the pages, clicked to vote, and won't take the time to say "this story bored me and was really unbelievable" or something of that nature?

The natural inclination if something is *that* bad is just to back click away. A one or two with no feedback at all is just plain suspect.

May I suggest the Story Discussion Circle. It's a nice enough place.

Slow! cumbersome!

Slow build-up to where? All these little stories - when do they tie in? Your scenes should have a low, a middle, and a high point, not necessarily in that order. Avoid the droning factor. Try making your sentences different length for variety. Perhaps more writing, less reviewing might help.


You know what... FUCK YOU.

Yes, you know exactly who you are, you pathetic little shit. I am ever so sorry that I can actually WRITE something with chapters, and your drivel is half-legible moron stroke. I am exhausted with your BULLSHIT commentary regarding my reviews- write something worthwhile and maybe it'll get decent commentary, you arrogant little methane breather.

Here's a review for you: I've glanced through everything you've posted in the last few weeks, just because you've defended it so fiercely. There's ONE halfway decent piece in there, and I'm assuming you had help with it. IF you got laid on a halfway regular basis, you'd know that there is no way in hell half the sex you write is even feasible... either that, or you're too stupid to know when a woman is faking it. General hint, if you have to pay for it, she's lying about how good you are.

Here's a news flash: I'm already published, more than once. Obviously, my writing isn't that bad if there's people begging me to move from short stories to novels, now is it? What the fuck is your problem? You can't deal with a woman who has her own opinion that doesn't fall at your feet and worship you? I don't do that for anyone, get the fuck over it.

Just stay the fuck away from me, from my submissions, and get a fucking life. You can't write, and trashing better writers is just petty jealousy and an inferiority complex running away with you. Go get some therapy, or a cat, or something. I'm more than fed up with your juvenile games and half-assed attempts at insults. There's a reason you're on ignore- take the hint already!
