Urguycliff's obsession with bringing up ancient posts!

[Fantasies_only]

Fixed your post for you. You also need to learn comma usage. Commas are your friends.

You missed something.
Editors take note:

Also there was someone mention (add ed for past tense) called Sirhugs! Ever since his reincarnation as a stud horse his writting ("writing" - there is only one t in the word) has been great but grammarically (no such word. It should be "grammatically." Those who live in glass houses shouldn't sling stones) off (though some say it's because of his hooves hitting lots of keys at the same time but us in the "know" realize it's him trying to type while fucking). Still always gets a 5 as he totally deserves. (sentence fragment)

Your punishment for such transgression, is to give us some really cool idea to write a story about.

So glad to see that the "Church of Literature" has so many fanatical followers (and by the way it can be a synagogue, mosque or any other house of worship), willing to strike down someone's written thoughts because it erred perhaps only once in something as trivial as punctuation or a misspelled word that escaped spell check, when the story may have been a true gem. I could, for arguments sake only, submit a story from a classic published author under my name, purposely adding a grammatical error and it of course would be shot down by some (unless it was in the humor category in which case why would I need to look elsewhere for classic material) simply because people so picky scouring the piece for typo errors are unable to know what makes up a good story. Fess up online grammar groupies; you are all social creatures seeking to inflate your own importance, interested in gaining social graces with other members of your tribe. On a personal note, I couldn't even vote a bad score on a troll who victimized me in voting, because I care too deeply for creating something out of nothing and could care less for the social tendencies of a hate mongering fool. Plus I am only interested in having a few fans seeking a rather warped side of erotica.

And if you are interested in lecturing to me about grammar, don't. I am happily married to an English teacher, who thinks Literotica is totally sick and she knows I am only here because there is a category for my writing here that isn't likely to get closed down this week.

By the way since I have a humorous streak, none of what I am writing in this thread holds any ill towards anyone or his or her writing. Hoping a few of you will just "Get It" and act like individuals seeking quality stories and not behave as sheep.

Forehead slap. Duh!

What then is the difference between accusative and objective? I thought that what you are describing was called objective form. Nominative I understand. Nominative singular personal pronouns: I, you(thee in Middle English), he and she. Nominative plural: we, you, they. Is there really a difference between objective and accusative form and if so, what is it? I'm confused.

I just couldn't get my head around what snooper was saying at first. Then gsmith writes about objective and nominative pronouns and it was an immediate flashback to Miss W. sitting on her stool in one of her short dresses explaining it to the class. (she wore white panties with little flowers by the way, everyone knew this as they frequently flashed the whole class from her perch on that stool. None of the guys ever missed HER class.)

I don't recall an accusative form from way back then either. Of course, it was almost thirty years ago. Damn I'm getting old. Is accusative a UK term or did I miss out on something important while I was daydreaming about what her panties hid?

The Atlantic Ocean.

... A US speaker would be confused as to which tense you were using. ...

I used "past" in the generic sense, but I have had problems with US English speakers before. The tense I used (the "had xxx" form) is called Pluperfect in English and what the US calls "Past Tense" appears to cover both the Perfect and Imperfect forms.

So glad to see that the "Church of Literature" has so many fanatical followers ... willing to strike down someone's written thoughts because it erred perhaps only once in something as trivial as punctuation or a misspelled word that escaped spell check, when the story may have been a true gem. ...

Certainly not. I came into this branch of this conversation by way of making a snide remark to Cloudy. I would not dream of "striking down" a good story, or any story, for lack of orthography. I might privately offer to edit it.

This whole later facet of this thread really belongs on the Editor's Forum where such conversations go on interminably.

To return to the original theme of the thread:

... Digging up 3 ancient posts in their entirety from as far back as 2001 b.c. is like so counter productive. Once something slips off page one it's pretty much history. ...

I disagree. If an idea was good then, it is still good now. There is no reason why many authors should not write their versions of the same basic story.

I still stand by that statement.

Your mind has been freed snooper. Now you may go out and seek the ultimate online pornoslut. You have my gratitude.

Hi Fred. What can I say, I like reruns. Besides look at all the responses that came out of this so something good comes from everything. (Kind of our family motto. Asked once what if something so bad you can't find anything good about it. The answer: If you are asking then it means that you survied and that makes something good of it. Guess my folks knew because if cats have nine lives the two of them outlived several litters with all they experienced) Besides it gave you a lot of new space to make your comments so I'm glad was of help. And just because something is an old thread it doesn't mean that its bad and shouldn't be brought back. So I'll take a look back at some of the other old threads and see if anything of interest pops up.

This thread proves that no matter how innocent the subject matter your literary life can be snuffed out at any second by the "Story Ideas" people. That's why I feel at home out here.
