i am so freaking sick of this..
@chocolate.
I understand how you feel completely. Some of the stories published on this site are poorly written. The thought literally makes me cringe.
@chocolate.
I 100% agree with you on this. I completely think that the fellow readers on here are into that kind of stuff. Not to talk about my work either, but people like you and @yellowdiamonds and @bubblegum. are amazing at what you do.
But from what I've seen your books rarely get looked at. Most people just the mainly, cliche concepts - bad boy meets good girl, gangs and violence, falling for your best friend, meeting them at a concert etc.
What you guys have shown are different, unique and original pieces of writing skills. But I guess most people settle for less. So sorry if I offended someone when I intentionally did not mean to.
I see what you mean, and I'm not offended at all. I agree with you and just wish people were more open minded and willing to challenge their critical thinking skills with a story that isn't so simple to understand at first glance.
@lilypads.
@yellowdiamonds
I also get where your coming from, to me it's like they take a look at it and don't bother to even take a glance. From what I've seen people go to the story and just click vote without reading it. Like you I wish people were more open minded and open to new things.
@lilypads.
As with @yellowdiamonds I'm not offended, I just wish people would tell me so I could stop putting effort into this no one is going to read. There's nothing like getting your heart crushed for no reason on something you think you're mildly good at.
@chocolate.
I totally understand. I put so much forth effort into making my writing at least acceptable but I feel like it doesn't want to be accepted. I'm a very sensitive person and judgmental about my writing and knowing this makes it ten times worse.
@lilypads.
I feel ya! I just wish it wasn't like that and I really don't want to scum down to writing something I think is sub-par just to get votes.
It's like I feel like screaming out, "WHAT THE F**K DO YOU ALL WANT TO READ?"
@chocolate.
I don't even see the point of Author's notes if the readers don't want to interact with the reader. It's super frustrating. I envy the people who are able to get comments and feedback without asking for it.
@yellowdiamonds @chocolate. @lilypads.
I envy all of you for being able to write beautifully x
Sorry, just wanted to get my two cents in.
@greentea.
Thanks so much. But I am no where near as writing beautifully.
@chocolate.
I get you. Cause I really don't like writing what other people have it there already, but it seems like they do.
Yes, finally someone acknowledges why this keeps happening! I totally agree with you. It makes no sense why shitty stories are getting way more votes, views, subscribers and comments than unique, well written stories! Like WFT?! I haven't been able to wrap my head around why this keeps happening. I mean, doesn't readers on here want to read good quality stories? I see so many well written stories that deserve so much more recognition! And this doesn't just happen on here, but also Wattpad! Idk. I give up, honestly. And you all have wrote some great books and have put effort into them. But then "writers" on here will put barely any effort into their story or stories and have like 500 or more votes and tons of subscribers and 1,000's of comments. Then I've noticed they become cocky. Like people will comment on their story all the time and they won't even respond. Like, really? Once someone comments I'm thrilled and respond right away. And I'm just also tired of seeing the same overused shitty plots on here! It's mind boggling how people vote for them, when there's tons of other copy cat ones that are just a tad changed up, but STILL same plot line. Smh, sorry, I just had to rant because this has been bothering me for a while.
@One Direction 1O1
I totally agree with you. I've so many stories about the same old cliche crap, but nothing unique. And when I do they don't get any comments or subscribers. I guess these people are into this kind of stuff. Just like my recent story that's out here (not trying to advertise my story) is something that's not repeated or reused. I clearly have nothing on there and I work extremely hard on it.
@lilypads.
You're stories are unique. I really like My Sister's Keeper; I've never seen such a well thought out and unique story line. It's just crazy how people enjoy some of the most basic stories on here.
There are so many talented writers on this website that just aren't getting the recognition that they deserve. I can't tell if its because of what their stories contain or whether or not more complex and alluring concepts aren't accepted quite as well.
Could anyone tell me why the fudge badly written stories can get like a million views and votes and a billion comments and something someone has worked so, so hard on can barely get a view?
It blows my mind, and I'm not here to talk about my work, I'm here to back up and support some amazing people on here who have talent and endless ability that no one seems to want to acknowledge :(
