So you only write for rankings? Why is it that you people need to fight over every single person liking your story. This isn't the eighth grade, there isn't some big conspiracy out to get you, write to write and you will get better. There are plenty of people out there who will offer criticism where it is warranted, granted most will not when you have to start a new crying post everytime you get a bad story review.
Plus I can't remember how many great authors when being interviewed for their new book say, " I wrote it cause the money was good." Instead of "I wrote it because I love to write."
yeah and now that isn't good enough she thinks they should need to do it for the 1 and 2 scores. As in fashion 2 is the new 1. If it needs to be changed why not just change the scoring method to only have the option of voting 5 points just to cut to the chase when the score of 3 or 4 isn't good enough without feedback.
You're welcome. You just need to remember that you can't win everyone. Everyone gets a buzz when they get high scores...I think that is just a given.
I'm thinking we should take the vote feature out all together. Would keep people from getting their panties in a twist when someone doesn't like their writing and would stop all the complaining. We had someone else go on about the voting a short while back. (don't remember who)
Could just leave # of views as in story threads. Leave comments so that if someone wanted to say something about the story they could. Then the author could see how many people stopped on the story either to read or comment on it and then leave it at that.
Are you assuming only the people in the forum are voting on your stories, FD?
Lol @ satyr
Got your comment, hmmm maybe you are right with that chapter, not good at writing romantic characters!!
I have just read some of your stuff, you reallllllllllly described the characters, where i possibly over describe the situation

I havent scored people low as I take into account the effort they make and their taboos
Where i have scored a 3, it is because the story made sense but done nothing sexually for me. However, the reason i dont score low is unlike some, i dont read romantic/ and then score low as it did nothing for me, as i know romance and wouldnt tingle me to begin with.
For clarity, I didnt "bitch" as bitching is done behind peoples backs, i made a statement openly as i have the "stones" to do so and I stick by that statement, even though birdie made me realise that you cant please everyone!

Actually, to bitch, as a verb, simply means to complain - usually understood to be excessively or without just cause. It has nothing to do with being behind people's backs. Unwarranted complaining, such as:
"It is obvious that by the amount of low scores given which are not followed by constructive feedback, that we have a few insecure and scared members amongst us."
A bitch of a comment followed by Birdie's response that
"you rarely get scored lower than a 3. You have good comments and praises....Look at that, not the one or two low votes you actually did get a while back. You have a lot of high scores. Forget about the finicky few or it will drive you crazy. Your average story score is 4+ on most of them...Not something I would be complaining about."
Seems fair to call what you did bitching. Whining. Griping. Pick your synonym, if you have some oposition to the word bitch. Ooh, that would have been a good place for a comma; I could have said "if you have some opposition to the word, bitch." Wouldn't that have been funny? Isn't grammar awesome? Perhaps you can offer me some constructive criticism now on how to play nice on the playground. Or score my comment a 3 because it didn't tingle you.
To everyone else... apologies for being so abrasive, but this bitching about the scores is obnoxious, and a further symptom of our absurd societal obsession with making sure that no one gets their feelings hurt, and that everyone does well at whatever they want to do.
If u found it "obnoxious" why read?
