Is it so much to ask to have my work critiqued or anyone eles's for that matter?

Maybe it's me but it seems that Sci-Fi or some other lame genre is more critiqued than say Romance. I posted a chapter last week and had only two critiques..that's it. One person posted on the children's forum and has had double what I had in the first day.

This place has really gotten on my nerves the last few weeks and frankly i'm tired of it. I don't know you at all nor do I want to.

You can ban me for all I fucking care because you're all a bunch of loosers--yeah you heard me...LOOSERS!!! All most of you do is spend godawful amounts of time on here rather than your family or writing--it's obvious is some of your number of posts.

Go ahead and fucking ban me...I really don't care. There I said it.

Why the harshness? Chances are if you'd posted here without the swears and asked for crits respectfully, you'd have gotten them.

(emphasis mine) You want respect, try giving it. We're all writers here, and turning up your nose at an entire genre is hardly going to garner you any respect.

If you didn't care about it, you'd quit posting and leave. Clearly you're craving some sort of sympathic "OH PLEASE DON'T GO, WE UNDERSTAND, WE'LL NEVER DO IT AGAIN" responses.

This post isn't one of them.

This thread gets an award for Most Ironic Title.

aspiring, this isn't like you. I hope your day gets better and we see the usual you, back in form. But, if you don't want to be here, you don't need a banning. You can just go.

I think you'll find the correct term is 'bannination'.

it's hard to take you seriously when that polar bear looks so happy to be slurping down a frosty treat.

can you change your avatar to something more fitting, like a crying child or a hinge not securely fashioned to a door frame?

I'm leaving...and no i'm not having a bad day--I hate this site and have not learned the FIRST thing about writing. All it is is a bunch of chit-chat and nitpicking.

You should probably just go then. With respect, no site is worth getting this stressed out over. Direct that energy back into your work.

That's a shame, aspiringwriter, because I think there's a lot to be learned here. Perhaps you're not looking in the right places?

Step back for a while, give yourself time to calm down. You might change your mind.

Or as we say in Dundee, "Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out."

Talk about deja vu!

I think I've read this thread before.

Well then, why are you still here?

In all honesty, I didn't see your post asking for critiques, or else I would have given you my opinion. I usually don't do a line by line, but I would have told you the truth of what I think.

Two points I have to raise about you: look at the number of your posts, and then try again to disrespect someone for their number of posts, saying they spend their time here instead of with their family or whateve. And the other is if you are going to disrespect us by calling us LOOSERS, then at least spell it right!

Now, if you would like to calm down and readdress your issues, I would gladly give you my opinion of your work.

If you choose to leave, that is your choice. But, I, for one, would welcome you back anytime when you can discuss these issues without being so rude.
