I was not offended. I was being matter of fact.
Posting things on the internet always seems to lack a human factor of inflection of tone and body language.
I have a tendency to be blunt and I don't use my describing words very well. I just get straight to the point with the fewest words as possible.
Plus this is a Rage or Satire gif thread. Being light and funny isn't needed here.
Hmmm... Well now that I look silly...
I like green jello. With tequila. In shot glasses.
This is a very misleading title for a thread.
I thought this was about dangling participles and misplaced modifiers or even the cost of band-aids because of all the papercuts you might get from editing.
Instead I was disappointed. The only thing I learned from this thread was a man got his feelings hurt when he didn't get a thank you. Then he took what people said and twisted them to suit his own purpose which in turn was interpreted as an insult by other members. Then he got a thank you and disregarded it in an insulting manner and continued on in an insulting manner which drew the ire of the mods that edit for everyone on this site. We get it. We thank you.
Now can we all please get over it?
This is Writer's Resources. Not the Woe-is-me-I've-been-slighted-so-I'm-pissed-off-at-the-world-and-need-to-bitch-and-moan-about-it. That's what your personal blog is for. Do it there.
I need advice on what I'm writing, not advice on how not to act. I have that area covered very well, thank you.
By the way... Who do I have to perform sexual favours for to get an RR? Or even get my shelving put up? LM promised but he's not following through.
Let me rephrase the question slightly...
Why are people so naive?
"Trust no one" and "Everybody lies" are my two catchphrases when dealing with people online.
Pay close attention. The ones that offered fair and sound advice are story moderators. There is no hate in this thread. Maybe a little bit of a condescending attitude towards your first venomous posting, but no hate. They usually remove the hate-filled ones without being asked. Otherwise, the powers-that-be will not delete threads.
Don't take it so personally when a moderator critiques you. I know it's your writing but try being subjective towards it. It's not an attack.
Take a step back and look at it from an outsiders view and then critique it.
Sometimes I have to put mine down for a few days (or months/years) and come back to it later so I can look at it with fresh eyes.
Then I can see what they're saying and fix it. Or scrap it, if I can't fix it. They're only trying to give you advice. If you don't want to take it, fine.
But it does have to have certain standards to pass muster at Lush.
If you need some pointers look through the forums in this section. There's a lot of helpful advice. I wish I had before posting my first 4 stories. They'd be better quality, if I did.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAZZA!!
