You ARE one of the old crowd, dear. Don't kill yourself over it; then how would you see the new House episodes?

And I thought my stories were good, but apparently they suck compared to your freaking masterpieces.
For the love of God, someone please close this thread.
Now, if you'll excuse me...I'm going to go slit my wrists by giving myself paper cuts with my boring, poorly written, horrible, crappy stories.

And to everyone else--even famous authors have problems. That's what editors are for. That's half the reason why books are so wonderful and people spend time in libraries. And nobody gets anywhere without running their ideas by someone else.
Do this: imagine your favorite book, the most fantastic book you've ever read, the one you can read tons of times and it never is boring.
Now take out conflict.
Take out the character development.
Do you want to read it now?
And morenor, you really shouldn't take it so hard. After all, you've definitely improved and making Deryck a cop is so different and cool. I'm sick of every time I even consider coming back to the fan fiction section people jump down my throat for simply stating an opinion. Not everybody likes everything; suck it up.
But one thing people can agree on is that they like well-written stories.
