Gave my first 1.

[mcfbridge]

Just gave my first 1 to a story. Won't mention the writer or the story. (Don't think it was anyone I've ever seen here anyway.)

My question is this. Am I the only one who finds overuse of four letter words anything but erotic.

This story used "Fuck" at least every other line, like the guy was trying to prove he could use it.

Some people just don't know any other words for sex, I guess.

Well, fuck! I think it can be very fucking sexy.

Seriously, I tend to use "four letter words" a lot, especially in dialogue. I'm a cunt like that.

BUT, yes, over-use can be a bit crass.

Sometimes it seems appropriate (kind of like when you really don't want him to "make love" to you, you just want to be "fucked").. overuse turns me off. immediately.

I just had an email. Sub Joe wanted to come to my aid in defending my second favourite word. He said:

Please tell the poster to go and

FUCK himself. The FUCKING CUNT.
Best regards, Joe.

Ahhhhhhhhh.

I only have one question here. Did you give the author feedback indicating your problem with the story along with giving the author a 1? I don't have a problem with someone low rating a story, but low rating a story without giving USEFUL feedback is, IMHO, not the right thing to do.

 

[Virtual_Burlesque]

Was the story really that bad, or did you give it a 1 just for too much repetition of an expletive?

If that was the story's only problem would that not be similar to readers who trash a whole story because a condom was/wasn't used?

I’m not trying to start an argument. (I bet I know more guys who talk that way then you do, and it IS exasperating!) I'm merely seeking clarification.

Depends on the characters of the story really I suppose, the personality like. I mean a ships stoker is unlikely to say "Oh Bother" if he hits his thumb with a hammer, and is more inclined to use the "F" word liberally spread about the tome. If the language is in the dialogue and fits the character, then why not, although it does grate on the nerves after a while I suppose.

On the other hand if it appears to have been written by some macho type who just wants to prove he/she can swear, and lewd language is overly evident in narrative, then it's crap.

Having said all this, one must try to give positive feedback when applying a low vote. Personally I've never yet voted a story on here with a "1". My nasty vote is a "2", I feel that if someone's had the balls to write a story of any kind and submit it, and it's good enough to pass the scrutiny of the site admin, then he/she should be given a little lee-way along with a good rollocking and some advice in feedback.

I have a tendency to launch into the most lewd and outrageous language when describing the sex act, while keeping it to a mimimum in the general story line. How the hell else is there to describe a filthy no love spine bending mind altering bollock draining cunt squelching spunk pumping fuck!!

pops.... who never swears in front of ladies, not fucking ever.

I hardly think that overusing a profaine word is worth receiving a one over. A 2 maybe, and if the rest of it is well written, perhaps a 3.

As someone else asked, did you at least leave feedback as to why you felt the need to give him a 1?

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Over-use is one thing, but to completely destroy a whole story and make you feel like you're reading a 14-year-old thug's letter to Hustler, is another. Sometimes, a story might be so badly written that it doesn't deserve a 2. Giving it a 1 is mercy-killing. Better to indicate that it's crap than to let the author think he's doing it right - but ofcourse, he'll never learn HOW to get it right unless you explain in feedback why you disliked it so much.

 

[gauchecritic]

In a thread a long long time ago someone mentioned a story (don't think it was on Lit) that went something along the lines of;

"I fucked her, then I fucked her mother, I fucked her sister too and fucked her husband, I fucked the woman next door and fucked her daughter."

That is a very poor rendition of a memory and bares very little resemblance to the original in that the author conveyed something far beyond the facts written by a very good use of the word. I remember replacing the word fucked in my mind and it didn't work without it.

Like Shereads is often wont to explain a reader usually brings their own baggage to a story and the author's intent actually means very little.

That can totally kill the story. I think perhaps it might be best if you tell us what the story is, so we can read it and decide on our own whether or not it's that bad. If it is, then the repetition of the feedback should make it clear to the author what made the story sink.

My question: If it was that bad, why not just "BACK" your way out and find another story? I don't mean to criticize, but if the story deserves a 1, the author probably does too. Feedback doesn't mean much if they're that bad. Personally, I wouldn't punish myself by reading something I thought was a 1 just to tell the person who wrote it why and vote a 1.

Just me, though. I'm not the most helpful mother fucker in the world.

. . . Like Shereads is often wont to explain a reader usually brings their own baggage to a story and the author's intent actually means very little.

It works something like that in real life, too.

Along a similar line:

The most intelligent — well, the most educated — guy I ever knew used to scatter the various premutations of the obsenity fuck through all of his conversations. (Well, perhaps not when speaking with his Prof. or while giving a dissertation — at least, I don’t think so.)

Many people who met him casually, without knowing his background, took him for some kind of low-life street hood. Occasionally, a new acquaintance would disparage his intellect/education/vocabulary. Then he would take great pleasure in shooting them down, informing them of the true situation.

He thought that was really cool!





I haven’t bothered to visit him in several years.

He’s too fucking enervating.
