I've noticed how no one ever takes the time to say "thank you" anymore. I've been deleting through my pages of comments that I have, and I stumbled across some that simply say "Thanks for your view!" or "Thanks for your comments!" It touched me, because I feel that I made that person happier by viewing their work or commenting on it.

It's so sad now that we are all rate crazed people, who barely take the time to thankn those who rate, comment or view our work. I want to say sorry to everyone for not thanking them, and then I would like to thank everyone who read my works and rated them, and most especially commented on them.

I'm sure that you the readers are getting sick with the writers for being so rate crazed. But is it truly that bad to try to be the best writer out there? But yet writers have a point in asking for a certain amount of rates. Say you normally get about 20 or so rates on your story, and suddenly it's down to like 11 or 12. We lose confidence in writing it, because we think that people are losing interest in the story. We like the rates to make sure that there are quite a few people still interested in the story, and give us confidence to continue.

You may argue that we should write because we want to. Well, we will, but we only post because you the readers like the story so much. The writers don't have to post their stories to share with you guys on here. They could just keep the stories to themselves, and then where would we be? There would be a ton of half-assed stories that are boring and horrible and not great to read.

To be quite truthful with everyone, there are quite a few people on this site who really need to learn how to spell and take grammar lessons. Some of the stories are just... stupid, and a bore to read! I feel really really REALLY bad about saying that, and I'm sorry if I offended anyone, but that's how I feel. This is a rant after all.

Also, try picking out a story each time you come on here that sounds interesting. There is a lot of talent on here, and it goes to waste because people are too lazy to take the time to read it. They only read the work of their friends and don't care about anyone else.

Now, I'm probably going over old territorry here, but the one thing I hate about the story part of testriffic is that you basically have to write romance stories in order to get your work noticed on here. I know we all like romance because we want to have our own fairytale in a way, but not all stories are romance! I CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH! Next time you try to write something, back away from the love and romance, and even the drama. Try writing fiction, or even a horror. I believe that quite a few people have the capability to make a really thrilling horror story. I haven't seen one since xxcassiejayxx's story "Killings of Garentonia" that was really good. Now that was a thriller! I highly recommend it!

Anyways... just try something new! Romance stories can get to be so boring at times becase they're so predictable. BE UNPREDICTABLE and try something different! Be all that you can and all that jazz. Fuck the system, don't keep writing romances! i've always wanted to say that...

Right now I am even continuing my story "Deal With a Vampire" that I began last year, and thankfully it's almost finished. I will not cry, even though that story lost most of it's readers. It last had 15, now it's down to 3 or 4. Chapter 20 was last posted in september, and now as of today I have up to Chapter 23 posted. Please check it out and comment! It would mean the world to me! I love hearing from you all!

And once again thank you all, for either reading, rating or commenting on any of the work that I have done :D

I am sorry if I offended anyone with my rant. If I did, I am truly sorry, as this is only a rant to share my feelings, and not intended to hurt anyone. Oh, how I love creating fusses... In a good way :D
