Her Royal Spriteness
Quote by ChuckEPoo
Thanks. I agree with all you said. My very first story was reject four times. I finally carefully read the comments and suggestions by the frustrated mod and complied. I haven't had one rejected since. I've deleted a few myself because they were not meeting my own standard. One thing that helps is that I have a great proof reader in Bethany Fraiser. No matter how many times I edit a story, she always finds something.
I do get frustrated when your cat writes better poetry than I do.
She's also a black belt.

Not necessary... Simply redirect your powers to me or somebody else who knows how to use them correctly. That way, I will never be suspended again for simply replying when someone makes a postr that is simultaneously widely off-topic & personally/specifically targeted at me, & the previously-described poster will never make an off-topic post again, nor any other.
think it's time for...

Well with an actual fiction book being looked over right now by a significant publishing company...I answer this question with another....what time is it now?.
I have no interest in online popularity....I have an interest how many will buy my book, to some extent...but then again if I go no further than the advance I can lie back and say I had a book published at least.
One tip. REAL publishers want one thing....STORY....if your story is strong enough they don't give a damn about punctuation, spelling and other such banality....if the story is ballsy. They want it.
No doubt I'll be derided for this, but there it is.
P.s. Why am I here if I'm such a big expert?. Simple, an idea stolen is still an idea. Ask any REAL writer.
no publication worth their name is going to publish a story with incorrect punctuation, spelling, and "other such banality" - they will either assign you an editor and edit the crap out of it, or make you do it yourself.
also, as a reader, i can assure you that, if i pick up a book, no matter how intriguing the story is, the mistakes will distract me enough to the point of putting it down and never picking it up again. it's not only sloppy, but it's lazy, and it's insulting to me as a reader.
sincerely,
a real writer

been there a few times myself. you can usually tell when i'm dealing with too much - i pull out the sharpies and use those instead of a blade - trust me, the desire to do more is there, but the ritual keeps me grounded in a way. known a few cutters - KNOW a few cutters. there have been times when i am not sure if my masochistic tendencies are completely sexual or sometimes just me dealing with shit *shrugs* times when i don't care, too.
love you guys - just keep breathing - sometimes that's the best you can do *hugs*

None of the above, & now questions in return:
Do you really get curious about the attempts of others trying to do things they clearly didn't do, & may not have been trying to accomplish? Also, do you (like me) see & appreciate the irony of you asking me that question when doing so makes you one yourself?
oh, i never denied being an asshole. it's part of my job title. apparently, self-delusional is part of yours. just wanted to clear that up, is all. also, once again, you're making no sense. you really do need to work on those communication skills. or stop smoking the hard stuff.

It doesn't matter how well you write it grammatically when what you wrote didn't need written (setting aside BM's crap about "sparing", which is what you can both do to me & anymore of your pointless, needless crap).
kind of curious. do you actually try to be an asshole, or does it come naturally? and yes, i do expect an answer. thanks in advance. (please not the lack of correct capitalization and get over it).

How did that post break them? I'm upset about police and theives from the dawn of time until probably the end of time going round in circles while communities have to just take it and no one stops it.
I didn't quote anyone, I didn't mention anyone.
don't play games with me - i'm not in the mood.

Police and thieves in the streets, oh yeah
Scaring the nation from genesis to revelation yeah
And all the crowd comes in, day by day. No one stop it in anyway
All the peacemaker, turn war officer. Hear what I say

ON A DAY LIKE FUCKING TODAY YOU WANT TO DO THIS? IF YOU WANT TO DELETE MY POSTS JUST FUCKING DO!!!
AMAZING how you POLICE ME AND LET CREEPS DO WHAT THEY FUCKING LIKE?

i "police" everyone in here. that was the provision i agreed to when Nicola allowed me to put this up, knowing that it could go sideways. other than that, i'm not a forum mod, nor do take the time to tell adults that they're behaving like children - that would be stepping on other mods toes. everyone here knows where the complaint button is located. as, with everyone who complains, i always suggest they take that route rather then go round and round in the forums - it never solves anything. also, i am not a big fan of deleting posts. now, if you don't mind, please don't yell at me. thank you.

Not showing your titties, but likely from your earlier number of stories have helped. All those people wondeing about the author behind those (true) stories.

actually, most of her views are the result of her writing (she's probably one of the top, if not the best, writer of erotica on this site), her well thought out and insightful forum posts, and her warm personality.
also, Doll has only ever written one story, and that was a looong time ago - it's been pulled for quite a while now and she didn't repost it as a step-sibling story, nor has she written one since. funny that she would still have a great deal more views than a lot of the people here who wrote little else but stories. not to knock them, but claiming DD's popularity here is based on that is kind of insulting, if not to her, than to a fan and a fellow writer.

Naaah, she's too classy for that. I just don't see her going for men with mustaches that dip snuff and wear skin tight daisy duke shorts, wife beaters, visors and flip flops. Besides she's vegan.
she is so not vegan. that's me you're thinking of, gator-boy.
