story rants

[Mainly about stories on GSB and Fandomination.net, but it can apply anywhere.]

Not all of them are bad.  But, lots of them are.  Like, on here they say they have people who go through your stories and won’t allow them to pass if you can’t spell or they aren’t properly formatted or whatnot.  Well, that’s fucking bullshit.  Half the stories I read [or try to read for about two seconds and then give up because of the shittiness] aren’t formatted, the writer can’t spell, can’t use proper grammar, and basically can’t fucking write for shit.

On Fandomination.net there really is no code or anything.  They won’t proofread your story.  But they’re just as fucking bad, if not worse.  Because at least on here you don’t have to read one of the worst sex scenes in the world because sex stories aren’t allowed.

But I mean, fuck people.

If you can’t write … don’t fucking write.

[I received a response.]

Oh Shut Up =]
Dont Be So Mean.
People Try. Isnt That What Counts?
Maybe They Just Like Writing Them And Are Proud Of Them.
MAYBE You Just Dont Like Their Storylines Or Their Plots.
Heh.
Just Wondering.

My response: 

It’s not just storylines and plots! God, don’t you understand what the FUCK I’m trying to say?!

Writing, formatting, grammar. God, getting fucking Microsoft Word or a god damn beta to at least PROOFREAD the motherfucker before you put it out on the internet to blind people like me who actually understand the meaning of words like ‘apostrophe’ and ‘contraction’.
