Is this fuck up or what?

Do you write stories, ChilledVodka, or are you just critical of those who do?
 
I am not even sure what the reply was to and sounds like you are messed up somewhat. Critical but vague - if you think the story needs editing, make suggestions as to what needs to be done to make it better
 
I started to read it to give you some more things to edit, but I got lost somewhere in the jungle of long verbose sentences and meandering paragraphs. I backclicked quickly before it was too late.

Suggestion: Break up those long paragraphs. Break up those long sentences. Doing so should improve most of the grammatical errors.
 
to what story are these replies? I am so lost with these replies that something really is fucked up or to quote the original post

"is this fuck up or what?"

I agree.

Why

Why are you people trying to dissect this story? Does the author know you're doing this?

:confused:

At last, someone with some common sense and courtesy!

Unwanted/Unwarranted

Look, I'll be blunt here. This is a forum for us to put our OWN work up for critical review, isn't it? Let's see your work up here, CV. I don't think it's right for you to be just as "first grade" as you claim the story is by posting someone else's work for review. If you don't like it, vote low or don't read the author again. Personally I couldn't care less if someone opens a thread about my stuff, but let's face it; some people are more sensitive than others.
I think this is insulting to the author of the story you are pointing a finger at and childish. Post your own work and if someone ASKS you, tell them what you think. Otherwise, use the vote to make your opinions known, not this forum.
 
Okay, I'll answer, since you all wanting to make me look like an arse.

To start with, I called the author talented. It implies, if you are dumb enough not to realise, that I enjoyed reading the story. If you have bothered to click on the link and checked it out, you'd have found that e-mail feedback option is disabled.

There was no way other than to post in public what I felt. This forum was the place to do it.

My original post was tongue in cheek in a sence that the author -an excellent writer - had written a story with deliverate grammartical mistakes for whatever his or her porpous was.

Now, let's resume CV bashing.

Carry on.

CV, your a smart man, didn't this tell you something?

You still don't get it? Ok... The author obviously doesn't want feedback.

You are as mean spirited as Tatewaki. I do not wish to interact with people like you in any form or shape. Please restrain from sending me any more PMs as well as responding on any of my thread. I will simply not reply to them no longer.

Thank you.
 
Biotches!

I'll bring Hanns and Scotty to this forum if you arn't nice to me.

yayati may come since he posted his crapy poem.
 
:rolleyes:

If you "bring" trolls to this board you're causing more work for Laurel. Nothing more. It's not hard to ignore them. But you'll have them ruining another one of Laurel's boards... One with a specific purpose.
 
Today, from here onwards, I'll be posting in Geordie accents, like.
 
I opened a CV thread, I feel so dirty now.

It really doesn't matter if the author knows he's reviewing her story or not. In fact, should one actually get the balls to venture into the real publishing world, one's work will be skewered by whatever critic is having a bad day. And the reviewer will never ask permission first. They don't even ask permission to quote parts of the story.

A reader does not have to be a writer to have an opinion on stories. The average editor in the average publishing house is not an author because the two are not mutually inclusive. Why should Lit be different?

CV is not only entitlted to his opinion, he is permitted to share it any manner he so chooses, whether the author likes it or not. Here we bitch about those cowards who drop anonymous hate mail. CV posts it here. Do take your pick, anonymous hate mail or having the negative review attached to someone's name.

Honestly, trying to shut up a critic? Do you even know copyright law? CV can legally quote portions of that work to write a nasty review if he chooses. It's the law. He is legally protected by US Copyright law and the Berne Convention.

CV is neither wrong, out of line, or showing bad manners. Welcome to the wide world of being published. Don't like it? Whine.
 
hehehe

CV...you certainly are true to yoursself.

Funny thread.
 
CV

You are as mean spirited as Tatewaki. I do not wish to interact with people like you in any form or shape.

What an irony it is that you are so sensitive. That's your call CV, but remember, if you going to dish it up, you've got to be prepared to take a little in return also.

...as well as responding on any of my thread

Isn't this what this is all about, people being allowed to express themselves freely?

Please restrain from sending me any more PMs

My polite private message to you simply suggested you pm or email the author directly, so please do not insinuate otherwise. I have never and will never send nasty private messages to you or anyone else. NEVER!

It has never and will never be my intention to upset or offend anyone in this forum.

One last thing, if this is your idea of funny CV, I not laughing.

KM,

CV is neither wrong, out of line, or showing bad manners. Welcome to the wide world of being published.

Alright, point taken, I was wrong, but I still don't think it's 'right'.

My earlier post wasn't meant to say that we need permission from the author before talking about the story.

It meant something like "Why are we doing this if the author does not even know we're doing this." He (she?) probably doesn't ever come here and doesn't care what we say about the story - (the "no feedback" option) - so WHY are we fighting among ourselves to give him feedback?

Just trying to question why this thread is here. A bit of early morning existentialism. :D
