things i will do without asking a writer's permission (i'm a mod). fix obvious misspellings or typos. fix obvious incorrect punctuation. the alternative is to send the story back with an list of every single instance those changes need to take place in the hopes that they will fix them themselves.
things i will not do. replace or change words or alter their story in any way - i might give suggestions, but that's it. this is pretty much standard for all the mods. we'll fix little mistakes. we won't do heavy edits or change your story in any way, shape, or form without permission.
that's an official stance, btw.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
You all misunderstand me. He sent me some links. I read even though I knew what was going to be in it. He didn't even have to tell me what to change. I changed the stuff. That is when he told me he wouldn't mind reading my other stuff. So I resubmit and a female tells me two things that the title is 2nd person and that it shouldn't be that way because that makes the reader think the story will be in that form. So messaged her back something like umm did you read it. Then she messaged me back apologized in her own way. She then told me to post the whole story then they would post it up. I only wanted to post the first chapter as had already been done. The story had already been on the site before. The whole point I was just trying to bring up was that he offered to read all my stories. For what reason? So he could give me a link and then tell me to fix it. The thing is I can change things to fit one's liking without them reading my stories. The reason I know is because of the talent. Innately I know what typically people that have made writing their life work look for. I'm setting the standard at a higher level. The standards that the great writers of past of laid down is what I am building upon. I don't need someone to read my stories because they want to then tell me they are not good enough. The only conclusion I come up with is that the person is trying mimic or glean the secret of my style. There I no secret just talent. I told you that in the message back then buzz and you told me, in so many words, I wouldn't go anywhere if I didn't know the rules. I know the rules more or less. At that point I told you, you can always tell how talented a person is ina ny give area given how many exceptions they bring to the rules. My writing is an exception to the rules in every sense. Yeah I know I'm going to have like 20 posts about how delusional I am. And my answer to you is: "Baby I don't care. I just want to fuck you till you love me."
