Hi Alex,
The Lit admins usually don't answer questions that are already covered in the FAQ. It can take 5-10 days to post when submitted through the onsite form, and up to two weeks if sent as an attachment. Being that there is currently a contest going on, it can take even longer.

I am sooooo happy you've asked "THE QUESTION" this morning. I feared that the week would slip by without someone asking this. I was so distraught that I even comtemplated suicide. It seems you have saved my life. Why, I even had the rope tied to a beam in the garage. I thought, after a nice breakfast, I'll just go out an end it all. But happily I check one last time and there it was - the GEM of a question that I have so longed to see. I jumped for joy at the thought of my life springing eternal at responding to your question. I even called my psychiatrist to let him know how you have CURED me.

God, what a wonderful day. Life and hope flowering around me in a way I never thought possible. Even the sun has pushed away the clouds over head to warm and brighten my life. And I owe it all to you, Alex. Because you asked this question, I can go on, live, continue to write. You have saved me, Alex. You have brought me back from the edge of insanity and death. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

 

[Jenny_Jackson]

Oh. I forgot to answer the question. Oh well.










But there is a two year penalty for asking the Question, so the answer is really meaningless. Have a nice day

Pretty funny, but one might think she is really trying to make him feel like shit instead of just joking about it.
I knew she was joking though.

Jenny, I suggest you use emoticons from now on, in this case would be appropriate.

Mistress of sarcasm, Jenny...

You are wrong, alex.

The sort of aggravation you provoked was because you hadn't checked the resources or guidelines, or had much idea of what you were launching yourself into.

The people who gave you the most astringent replies are the ones who are the most assiduous and helpful here to new writers.

None of us bite and we all want to promote people writing. Just look before you leap.

Please post a link to your story as soon as it is up and you'll be amazed at the quality of feedback you will get. Trust me.

 

[alexgrownup]

What

I think some of you are getting a little carried away.I didn't say anyone bites.I think some people are just trying to get into a heated debate.I said thank you,and noted the sarcasim.Anything more than that is your own imagination.Theres more to life than negative issues.
I suggest we all move on.Even though I'm sure negative ppl won't.

Jenny wasn't really being negative. She's actually very helpful, direct, but helpful. I think she had one cup of coffee too much.

 

[alexgrownup]

I didn't mind Jenny,I have friends like her.It was that elfin guy who seemed to really over exaggerate,with the whole provoke thing.
Come on if this offended you that much,you need to get out more.
Everyone else was cool though.Thanks to the other ppl.

elfin "guy"??????

Dude, you really need to pay closer attention.

 

[CeriseNoire]

What?

Elfin? Negative? Wow, if that's your reaction when people point out the obvious, I'm afraid to see what will happen if (gasp!) anyone doesn't like your stories when they post.

 

[alexgrownup]

I stand corrected,about negative ppl not being able to move on.

 

[elfin_odalisque]

However much we rant and rail, to call us negative is unfair.

Jenny, Cerise, Cloudy, Jomar, drk, and the others I can't remember at the moment, can be described as many things, but never negative.

Making ourselves better writers, giving a hand to anyone who thinks our views are worth having, and just having fun sharing ideas is why I'm here.

If you want an honest critique of a story, I will try and find the time - so will others here. There is a lot of personal judgement here (of course), but I've never seen anything really negative.

We call it as we see it - you're free to reject anything we say - but if you ask for constructive advice, that is what you will get. Nothing is ever meant to insult you. In fact, the most detailed critiques arise when someone sees a talent to nurture.

Time is short though, and we get a bit impatient with fools.

 

[alexgrownup]

I get it

I get what most of you guys and gals were saying. I did read the guidlines and learned alot from the writing tips section. I did speak to a few editors, and did write a few more stories that are better written. Some of the methods, people used, I feel are not a positive way to say them, but thats part of what makes us special, our differences. And like I said, I get it. Thanks to everyone who did reply, and I will post some of my stories when they are done.

Welcome to the club. What you say is right and just tell us when you've got stories posted.

Best of luck

You'll get used to us, Alex. We're a little crazy but helpful

 

[HLD]

"a little"?

 

[Jenny_Jackson]

Ok... REALLY crazy... sheesh

 

[EveAnna]

Hi Alex,

I'm a new writer too and the chances are your first submission could get rejected - they'll give you the reasons why and then just read through it and put things right. Take care with punctuation - I've got a story pending now and I sort of lost the plot with the punctuation so it got rejected - if I don't get it right this time I'll submit to an editor and they can do it for me. Don't forget about the editors, they do a great job.

 

[mjl2010]

Now Jenny thats not true. None of us are really crazy and you know it. We're all just a little....off. By the way, can I borrow that rope? Someone I know needs to be tied up this afternoon.
