Why??!!

Postby **Inferno** » Mon Feb 23, 2004 4:38 am

Why is it that I aways have to make a thread that tells people about the stories I write? NOONE HAS EVER REPLYED TO ANY OF MY STORIES WITH ME MAKING A THREAD ASKING PEOPLE TO READ IT! You guys read and reply to everyone elses poems and storys! Why can't you read and reply to mine? I mean my stories might have A little bad grammar and spelling but who cares?
here is a link to my latest story like anyone cares:http://www.christiananime.net/forums/showthread.php?t=5649

You paragraphed. Praise the Lord. For this, I now feel obligated to read and seriously review your story. Also, the link is helpful.

But please, no more of these threads.

To answer your question: I'm generally too busy to read most of the works in the writing forum. They're generally longer and require serious thought, something I don't have while rushed.

Don't think you're the only one, either. I've posted many times over what you've written without a single response. For that matter, don't assume that because no one responds, no one reads. I don't know why you wouldn't but this is the situation at times.

Yeah, don't worry. Sometimes people just don't respond. Actaully, it they don't respond it could be it wa just that good that they didn't have any crits. XD!

I never read anything in the writing forum unless someone specifically asks me to look at their work. I simply have neither the time nor the desire to do otherwise (keep in mind that I am speaking in general terms).

Postby **CobaltAngel** » Mon Feb 23, 2004 7:05 am

Yes, I don't read much on the writting forum either unless its something by my friend, or someone asked me to. ^_^

I hardly go to the Writers Forum and don't intend to for a while. Please, Inferno, why don't you PM certain individuals especially the writers? That should guarantee responses. I can understand you urgently need feedback.

I hope you'll give careful thought to UC's request(s). Thx

A lot of times I read stuff, and just don't have anything to say about it because I'm horrible at critiquing other people's stuff o_O You can look at how many times a thread has been viewed to see if anyone's been lookin' ;]

But I do understand the need for feedback. My writing suffers without it, yet I never post any anywhere or let people see it o_O I don't like to show it to someone unless they have the time/interest necessary for giving me good feedback...

I went to writing forum a little while ago, and I noticed something interesting. There are a handful of stories with dozens of replies, then there is a much greater number with only 0-5 replies; so, it appears that you are not the only one who doesn't get a lot of feedback. This doesn't necessarily reflect badly on your writing, it's just the way things are in that forum.

Ermmm........... interesting. ~__^

Not that I don't care or anything. I just rarely critique the stories I read in the writers forum. Don't get all wacky over it.

For that matter, I rarely post any sort of reply anyway. hahahah

But that doesnt mean that I dont care. I read all the crazy stuff in this forum, yet I rarely reply to any of it. ^__~

Just because ppl don't reply, it doesnt mean that ppl dont care about yer writings or what ya wanna say. :cool:

I don't look in the writing forum much either...but because I'm a nice guy, I'll read your story...

Postby **Hitokiri** » Mon Feb 23, 2004 12:43 pm

I usually don't read stuff in the writing forum and rarely do I post in there and no one responds, though I know people do read them.

I just don't have the time, the wanting to, or the energy too......

Sometimes I feal undersappreciated because I have the feeling my avatar sets up an attitude like mood for the other members or that they don't like me for some reason.

OffT : Hey, I like your avatar. Its someone of The Bouncer isn't it?

OnT : (I've read your story now btw)

Glad u like it. I like my avatar too. ^__^ Yes indeed.

I'd LOVE to read and critique EVERYONE'S work in the writer's forum, instead of mainly posting, but:
1) time constraints...it's just not possible
2) attention issues.

I'll try to read and post a critique of your work sometime, though. ^^

Postby **Inferno** » Tue Feb 24, 2004 8:53 am

well can someone tell me who some of the writers and critics are?

Postby **Debitt** » Tue Feb 24, 2004 6:59 pm

^^ If you ever need something critiqued, and don't mind waiting a couple days, you can always PM me.

Postby **Zilch** » Tue Feb 24, 2004 7:07 pm

(bows) I'm at your humble service.

Postby **EireWolf** » Tue Feb 24, 2004 8:01 pm

As others have mentioned... time constraints. I regularly look for new writing by 2 or 3 specific people whom I have come to admire, but I do not have time to read everything that pops up in the Writing forum... or in ANY forum, for that matter.

And, on a side note... please don't whine; it's unbecoming and it hurts my ears.
