Something every writer/reader should read, please

Personal Created on 8-9-08 Views(594) Story Rating G

    So, you guys, you should all know the story about Kendra0066, who originally claimed that xHickChick987x stole her story "I Wonder" and then said that Loveandhate04 also stole one of her stories. But then she did something very stupid and deleted that account, and decided to go by XHickChick987x, posing as xHickChick987x.

     How sad that this happen. A girl so desperate to be popular on this site stole from a terrific writer. She probably figured she wasn't getting any decent rates with her stories, so she stole one of the most popular stories on here. It's sad that this was all because she want popularity and rates.

    Beware everyone out there, for you never know if this will happen to you next.

    I have been a member of this site for over a year, and I remember being happy to just get at least 5-7 rates on a story! But now everyone out there iis like "I want this many rates before I post the next chapter!" Or they get upset when they don't have as many as they did at one point.

    I'll admit, I was and partially am one of those who crave the rates mercilessly, but I think it needs to stop. You need to just write for yourself, have fun with it. Because if you have fun with it, your writings actually turn out a lot better.

     So now personally, I am going to write short stories more often, since writing regular stories can be quite daunting, and I don't want to feel like I have to beg you guys for the votes.

 

    Also on voting... I think that it's disrespectful that you want to be kept posted on someone's story, or like and read it, but don't rate it. Seriously, wtf is up with that? Us writers put hard work into it, and if you like it, you should do the respectful thing and rate the story. It gives us a boost of confidence, and helps us make the stories/ chapters you read better.

So to everyone, just beware of the girl mentioned earlier. I don't want this to happen to anyone else on her. I love you all, even though I don't know you personally. We here on this site are like a family, watching out for each other. So please don't be stupid, it just ruins the site. This site is for you to share your imagination, and to help boost your writing skills. If you ever need help, ask some of us who have been on here for a while. If you took the time, there are a few of us who I know who would be willing to help, me included.

I hope you enjoyed this little rant of mine! I love to hear what you guys think, and I love your comments! They mean a lot to me. I enjoy causing a fuss (in a good way) and making people actually tell their feelings. lol. I'm sorry if I offended anyone in anyway, and keep reading/ writing, and so forth! :D

On August 9th 2008 tece26 Said :
tece26 Your right! Its funny because I was thinking the same thing just before I read this. I even made a decision not to post on anyones site anymore. I just like to write and I really dont care how many votes I get. I will write when I can and those who like my work can check it out. Im tired of trying to please people to. Im writing my stories the way I do, and appreciate the comments that help me get better.
On August 9th 2008 afunkysippycup Said :
afunkysippycup i totally agree with you about this stuff.. i read stories and at the end they say, "remember, you know my rule, 20 votes so i can post up the next chapter" and it's hella annoying..

On August 9th 2008 crazkoala Said :

On August 9th 2008 nickjonson Said :
nickjonson wow....pretty stupid of that girl. just because you're getting low ratings doesn't mean you should act like a bitch. You need to pull it together and get back in the game and try harder, or sit on the sidelines and suck it. sry if u think im a little too harsh with my words, but here's the way I see it: Im going to tell you what I honestly think. I cant promise you you'll like it, but its what I honestly think. I wish more people were like that rather than bothering with censoring their thoughts or lying all the time. but im getting off track. basically, good job. and I get SO PISSED when people read but dont rate! its like, wtf? JUST CLICK!!!! its not that hard

On August 9th 2008 TheBranster Said :
TheBranster how could someone steal a story and expect to get away with it? and, why for points? if its something they didnt come up with, how can they be satisfied with there points? if someone is giving them points, dont they know that there giving the vote to the writer of the story, which is not them? this just baffles me that people think like this.
