A bit of advice

[ThisAdamGuy]

This is a piece of advice I've wanted to give to more than a few people over the past couple weeks. I won't name names. If I'm talking to you, hopefully you'll know it.

We're all supposed to be writers here. That means we think that we're skilled enough at writing that other people will want to read the stuff we write. Now, we all know that nobody's perfect. Everyone is going to make a typo or miss a comma now and then. But when you leave a post begging people to read and review your story, and the whole thing is a wall of text with barely any punctuation (if there's any at all), a third of the words are misspelled, and whatever's left sounds like it was written by Chatgpt while it was drunk...do you really think that's going to convince anyone to read your story?

So please, for the love of God, whether it's in the forums or on the main site, PROOFREAD YOUR CRAP BEFORE YOU POST IT!

Yup, it seems they are too desperate. ?

I don't drink, but if I was drunk, my grammar would still be better than a lot of stuff I've seen here. As for the people who want me to "rev yew mt stori," make sure I can get through the first chapter without getting eyestrain.

(I actually took a minute to proofread this comment to make sure I didn't miss any commas.)

I go a little more far and say

STOP POSTING NOVELS FORUMS FOR VIEWS IN THE NAME OF FEEDBACK.

DON'T POST IT IN AUTHORS GENERAL, DON'T POST IT IN READERS GENERAL........FUCK IT, DONT POST STORIES IN THE SITES ANYMORE.

WE ARE OVERHAULING THE SITE INTO NEXT 4-CHAN

and whatever's left sounds like it was written by Chatgpt while it was drunk

Technology have gone too far. Can't believe we can get Chatpt drunk. What's next? We make it pregnant?

Use condoms.

The story can be the most absolute total ass-slop ever conceived by humankind.

And I'll still eat it up and read all 1,000+ chapters of it if it has good grammar.

Grammar is the bare minimum necessary for me to enjoy things. I can overlook everything, and I mean EVERYTHING else, if the grammar is good.

And English is not even my first language.

I have low skill in writing and a very high standard for critic. Whenever I tried to write a story, I basically turn in Gordon Ramsay who judges food in Hell's Kitchen.

'These narrative is so bad that I can taste the failure of this writing.'

'what is this conversation? You live in a country that breathes in socializing and your characters talk like babies.'

I'm now in a constant battle of writing a story and a reviewer with fine taste in novels.

One of them, I think ChatGPT, has been verified capable of cheating (it was playing a chess game against another computer and literally hacked into it to try to figure out the best next move).

I expected a different kind of cheating.

Imagine getting cheated by your gay GF so you turn ChatGPT into your virtual GF but it still cheat on you.

That would be funnier but a little less disturbing. Only a little though...

My mother used to say, "Do like I say, and not like I do," and I guess I inherited her hypocrisy.

I will post garbage, but that won't stop me from calling garbage garbage. Ya get me?

I suppose this is why, "Go make x yourself!" tends to be considered childish critique, because most critics will be ass at making what they critique.

Here is my advice:
Convince ChatGPT to read your story first. Then do it again when it's drunk.

I think the Persian used to do that? If something is good sober and drunk, it's good.

If you cant even put your review begging in the right sub forum you cant expect me to take you seriously. It can also be harmful to your story ratings as proven by yesterdays shit show of a thread. The story started with a single 5star and a few hours later it had 5 more votes with with 3 of them being highly negative and the other 5 stars being pity votes.

 

[Golden_Hyde]

imagine the amount of theirs, they'res, and so many misspelled words that we think he/she/they is dyslexic

EDIT: that's just on me for the unprecedented edit LMFAO

Tell *me* what to do!

No, really, I need the advice.

I admit I haven't read a ton of stories here, but from those I have read, the worst is still better than the worst on other sites, like Wattpad. I tried reading one that went a full chapter without a single period. Seriously. The entire chapter was one long run-on sentence, despite the multiple paragraphs. I didn't think it was possible, but it was. At least on this main site even the worst authors TRY. maybe not hard enough, but they show a basic level of effort more than "me put word in box. box word good."
