I'm not a slighted author. I posted a story here four years ago and it was very well received, but it was lost in the purge. My problem is when readers here, obviously are high off the smell of their own farts (or possibly feeling insecure about what they're reading, so they want to pretend like there's some intellectual merit), take it upon themselves to criticize writers who are obviously just starting out. You're really going to talk about character motivation or story consistency to someone who thinks 'a lot' is spelled 'alot'? Doesn't know how to attribute dialogue? You're really going to look at that baby-step first effort and think to yourself "well SOMEONE ought to pull out a red pen!!" and lay into them? Some of my all time favorite stories have the worst grammar, terribly blunt dialogue, unrealistic settings, because the people writing them are new, shameless, and raw, and don't know yet to be embarrassed about writing what they think is hot, until people like the readers here get a hold of them. We're literally writing fetish erotica, if you want to be in a writer's circle, join a writer's circle. But what a writers at this level typically need is encouragement, end of. There's also minor a problem when people get confused about what is an error and what is a fetish. I've seen readers try to push a writer away from choices they're making under the assumption that their taste is objectively correct, and not just what they think is hot.

sorry but this place is really really really really REALLY terrible to authors. Everyone is super nitpicky and ridiculous with criticism. If you want people to share their stories you guys should be more gracious and kind. I hate this place honestly. I hate reading the smug comments. Everyone is soooooooooooooo self important. I know you all decided that you have "a right" to be critical of stories people share but the feedback authors get is a big reason why authors stop posting.
