I agree that all the bumping is bad...the only thing thats worse is when people read it, and dont post anything at all
Thank you for this thread! Brilliantly said! The monotonous stories of unoriginality and no people giving constructive criticism... You truly hit every point I could possibly muster up. And the great stories being pushed back, you truly have made an accomplishment posting this.
I totally agree. Like, I made a story when I was new and at the end of my updates I usually put like "leave comments and suggestions" HONEST ones and all I get is "Bump" so yeah, facepalm. AND that's precisely why I stopped updating The Other Guy which is a story I made. That's why I made a new one. That's the reason why I don't give criticisms in other stories because only a few people do it and I don't want people to judge me when I criticize because they might think that I think that I'm better than them.
Well I agree but I once read a story (by a friend) with HORRIBLE grammar but it was actually really good :/ I have like.. 2 stories right now and people only ever bump It's quite annoying reading the awesome stories like Desperate, when you try to find the newest update and you have to go through like 6 pages of bumps. When I'm lazy I just bump, but tbh, I don't even know what a bump is :3
Thank you, Adam. To be honest, even if they're your friend, you should give criticism to help. If she's a person who thinks criticism is 'mean' or 'bad' or anything like that, then honestly, sugarcoat it if you don't want to risk that frienship of yours. I'm not a fan of sugarcoating my reviews. I'm a dead honest sonovagun and I expect people to know that. The frustrating thing is, it's a little biased. Bumping only their friends' stories, even if they have many many many mistakes in their stories... (Hypothetically for the 'only'. If I'm generalizing or getting myfacts wrong, I'm sorry.) With that said, *logsoff*
Big words is a GOOD thing. Without BIG WORDS, a story isn't that INTERESTING. In my OPINION. ._. Caps RAGE. ;D
To delve into my agreement, I shall say this: Well, As said before, I agree. It's frustrating, really. I like to read comments or feedback on my stories, like Deadly Sin. But lately, people only put: "OMG! BUMP!" or "" I'd appreciate it if people put the reason the story gave them the reaction of "OMG!" Actual comments/feedback motivate me to write more. Bumps don't. :/ (To be honest, I have to give more feedback myself. )
I have one story with big words "Confessions Of A Teenage Witch" and well, I really think I should update it but all I'm getting is "" Or "Lol! Bump!" -----> Wtf am i meant to do with "Lol"?!
NUUUUU Chloe, please don't resign as an author >:'( We all love your stories! (Except I'm sorry I have too much homework these days and too much staying back in school due to CCAs and supplementary, and I almost never get to come on PIMD, so I can't read every single one. T_T)
