The logic is flawed, that's why.

Oh, never mind. I'm arguing with incels, apparently. Well, I've got rules against doing that - you guys can circle jerk yourselves to sleep without me.

Do you think you're a mind reader? I'm sensing that you have some trouble realising that not everyone thinks like you. Personally, I don't waste my time reading anything that I don't think I'm going to love from the get-go. That really cuts down the number of novels that I rate lower than five...

But roasting what you wrote is the whole point of this thread~! I think it hurts less after you laugh about it.

You might get lucky and really love it, actually. I sometimes read some of my older stuff and get depressed that my writing appears better to me then than it is now. I don't think that's really the case, though. It's all about perspective.

It's not really about regret, it's about self-awareness. I don't regret writing any of those things because they make for funny stories, and because they helped me to grow as a writer. But I'd be disappointed in myself if I didn't realise that those were examples of absolutely awful writing.

We do have a fairytale anthology event coming up, if you'd like to join us for some writing fun~!

Here's one that I found out about quite recently~! So, despite being the Yuri Garden creator, I wasn't much into yuri as a kid - I was a big BL fangirl. But I did write my first yuri story during my fanfiction writing days. That's because I used to be really, really involved with the Princess...

Maybe you just don't remember very many of them? I'm rememembering a lot more that I buried in my memory now that I'm reading everyone else's stories. Although you'll definitely know this embarassment again~! It's our fate as writers. I know I'm going to live through it in a few months when I...

Can you? I can see people ignoring my warnings and starting a long discussion about that, and there are no mods here to contain the situation. (And thank you~!)

Then please see my above post. I don't want to laugh at a reviewer, I want to laugh with other authors about our cringy mistakes.

Sorry to double post, but I saw this edit and I have to say this now: This thread is NOT for complaining about the bad reviews you receive or the reader opinions that you don't like. There are a thousand threads in the forum like that and I'm a bit sick of them. This thread is for genuinely...

Do you agree with the review, though?

Note: To make it as clear as possible, don't give me copies of your most hated reviews or try to laugh about readers you don't like. That's the opposite of what this thread is for. Be humble and roast yourself, please. As authors, it's really easy to get upset when something goes wrong with our...

Hahahahahahahahaha. As the Yuri Garden creator who creates and referees our writing events, I've had the absolute joy of working with many genius writers, many of whom are very polite and eager for feedback. I've also had authors practically declare me their sworn enemy for life because I told...

Reviewing is a touchy issue here on SH because the authors can obviously see what you write, and there's already so much bad feeling about people leaving honest one star ratings. I feel like it will be a long time before the review system is used frequently.

Not everyone does, though. And maybe those readers only use it as a "like" vs "dislike" system because they're only reading things they expect to be 5 star anyway. Taking away the ability to be more nuanced from people who genuinely want to put the effort in to give back to the community would...

Then that would reduce reader interaction and that would suck.

I would find that demotivating as a reader, since I'd have to give really great stories the same generic "liked this" as meh stories. Would be better to make it "like", "dislike" and "this was okay". And by that point you're better off just using the star system anyway.

Can't wait for the Yuri Garden anthology title poll to finish tomorrow~! I have about a million ideas for the front cover, and I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with this time.
