Yes Lindsey, if people don't like the story then they should just get the out of that thread. It's not like the writers are asking for everyone to read their story (I think). Me no likey arguments.
Ah, yes, Lindsey. But it's not the genre I'm talking about. I'm talking about the horrid lack of originality.
And y'know. I just HATE it when people say, 'Oh! But I'm the school's writing champion! Lalalalala! I get special privileges! Lalalalala!' Get over yourself. God. Just, stop.
I mean, when writers put that in their stories and then have numerous writing errors, I laugh. Just because your grammar compared to your classmates is 'excellent', your grammar compared to others isn't the same. In your teachers' eyes, you might be their precious jewel, but in reality? Try competing with the professionals and then savor the taste of defeat.
And people. If you post like, "GIVE ME A HUNDRED BUMPS BEFORE I'LL UPDATE." A HUNDRED. SERIOUSLY? That's 100 pages. SERIOUSLY? Writers have been scraping for readers, and I'm not discriminating you or anything, but please be a bit more realistic. First update, and you want 100 bumps? Dream on. Again, I'm not discriminating that you are new and shouldn't get any readers, all I'm saying is that you ARE new and you have to LEARN and WORK hard to get new readers. 100 readers won't just pop up from nowhere. If you're story's really good, then yeah, you'll get a lot of readers. If it's tacky, good luck. And saying, "NO HATE." and "ONLY GOOD COMMENTS" how can you improve if no one criticizes you? How can we give critique? And sometimes the story desperately NEEDS the critique.
Happiness is a good critique. Using emojis in your story is really freaking trashy. If happiness didn't tell me, then I think I'd be embarrassed when I read my story in the future. Thanks Happiness for your criticism
Hmm I've been thinking FF has never really had many varieties of stories here. Like you said.. It's all high school romances with little details, little effect shown, and a poor plot. Some people just can't write as well as others. I believe it's a brave thing to put up a story you create, at the same time you should take in critique when mentioned. So yes, originality in FF is lacking.. But this isn't new to me
