It has been a long time since I've visited this forum. Sorry to say, its not for pleasure. I was given some feedback on my very first submission recently. Here is the message I received:

Your useage of the English language shows a large gap in your education._ Learn to use the language properly and you might be come a good writer.

It has been months since I submitted this story. I enjoy feedback as much as the next person, but not cheap stabs at my work.

To my critic:
If you want to help, tell me to proofread before submitting. This at least would have saved you from being a total asshole. And another thing...

Your lack of simple manners show a large flaw in your character...
Learn to apply what manners you have been taught (obviously none) and you might become a good person someday...

Yours truly,
LdyOnyx

P.S. To my critic again...I couldn't help but notice your improper usage of the English language. Be come is spelt like this:become.

Well, Ldy Onyx, it does sound like you've been treated to a meeting with one of our less polite brethren (or the female equivalent). My advice, however, is to get back on the proverbial horse, and try again. Although I've only been here a short time, I've found the experience very positive and I have been treated very well.

I've read your story, and sent you some feedback which I hope is more hopeful, and is certainly more polite, than your previous critic's. I'm sure other authors will do the same - the more enthusiastic writers we have the better.

Cheers,

Eros

Thanks, Natrual Born Eros. I've read your feedback, and that is what I call constructive critizism. Like I said before, I submitted that story, I think, back in October. I've gotten some hard feedback, but not as rude as my unknown friend here. Since I've been a part of the Literotica family, I've enjoy it and have had nothing nagitive to say. Like you said, I just wasn't properly introduced to the obnoxious side of the family. Thanks again and I will take a look at your work as well.

Hello Ldyonyx,

Honestly seeing this kind of posting really does made me roll my eyes.

I've said before, but I don't mind repeating it.

I can't see the point of criticizing a story on this site if you can't offer some kind of constructive feedback with it. What do these people who bitch and complain, usually anonymously, hope to achieve by their insults and whining?

It irks me to see people complaining about the quality of some of the stories posted here. If you want literary perfection, go and pay your ten or twenty bucks a month and join a pay site, and if you find anything you can't give top marks to, then whine loudly.

Most of us amateur authors really appreciate constructive feedback. We will learn from it, and it's fantastic for us to be able to improve our writing skills in such a usually friendly and helpful forum.

Personally, I'm extremely grateful to too many people here to possibly list.

Ldyonyx, don't let people like this get you down, chances are they don't write themselves, and they just feel good knocking someone else who does.

I wish you well with your future writing,

Have a great day,

Alex (fem).

LdyOnyx....as a new writer here I've had a few negatives too. Luckily I wasn't treated with such disrespect as you were. I feel if someone takes the time to write a story or poem your feedback should be constructive , trashing a person is mean-spirited and serves no purpose. I read my stories and realize they may be sentimental and cutesy but with each one I learn more.
I'm now in the process of writing an orgy.....allowing myself free rein to move out of erotic couplings and into a new realm. I wish you continued success and just like me keep plugging away.

I knew I'd find some intellegent people out there with this thread. Some of you have given me feedback that was very helpful. I have no intentions to stop my literary journey. I love to write, and I'll be damned to let someone stop me from doing just that. Again, thanks everyone. I'm in the process of writing a juice story for all of you. Until then, lots of love...

Just want to go on record as saying that I didn't send it. This is too crude for me, and I always sign my feedback.
