Besides, those words basically came right out my my English teachers mouth. I'm just sharing them with you guys. And, um, Lewis, I'm not sure whether that should be taken as a compliment lmfao. Just know that you're grammar isn't really amazing. I mean, not to be mean or anything, you just made it sound like you were super good with grammar and it was your position or something to hand out compliments. Not that you're saying that, it just came out wrong. Idk, your grammar isn't perfect all the time either, and it's not like you're always in a position to hand out advice. Not that I always am, just... yeah. But I think I'm making an ass out of myself. Sorry. I'll just shut up.

| FanFic Author; Promo Squad Member   | ^^But that's the way you said it... and not only in this thread. You said we don't have great stories being written now... that in the past they were way better. Sounds like you're the great writer and no one else... and you aren't even writing anything at the moment. And I have to disagree with you. I read almost all the fan fictions here in Bandaids, and I think there are some new ones really great, way better than the old ones. Of course there are some that I don't like, but there are some people who like. That's ok. We don't have to like everything, but we have to respect the others opinion. A lot of people who wrote before is writing now another story,and almost all of them is getting really better.

| Registered User | Before they were really, really good. You have to understand that. I'll be honest, I'm bored with some of the stories now. They strike me as repetitive, and some of them are lacking important qualities that stories need in order to be successful, such as character development, different conflicts, descriptive-ness, etc. etc. I'm sorry, but I'm entitled to this opinion. I'm not saying anyone is bad, nor am I being insulting. I'm sorry if you take it that way, but I'm not saying it that way and there's not much I can do about you being insulted. I'm just trying to help people improve. It doesn't mean that they're bad, it just means they need help in certain areas. And this surely isn't everyone, but everyone does have room for improvement. Everyone, even people who have been published. And I'm not claiming to be an amazing writer, I'm giving advice. Again, it's YOU who is assuming that I'm claiming these things when I never said them, or even tried to imply them. I'm just giving advice, so I'm sorry you're taking it the wrong way. I'll be honest, I do think I'm good. I'll be blunt. I think I'm a pretty good writer, and I've been hearing that from other people my whole life. You may disagree, but you have nothing to base that on. I'm not writing anything because I'm busy, and my story probably wouldn't get many replies. It never seems to, since it's different than the other stories and people generally like to stick with the same few stories.

| Registered User | I haven't really read your story that much. I think I read an update. I would just say start a new line everytime a new person starts talking, and... yeah. Sorry. I obviously can't help you lmfao.

| Fanfic Author; Untreated Avrilholic; Figure Skater  Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: *thinks* Uh, that's a good question. Can I get back to you on that?
Gender:              | Yeah I might as well come out like she did...I'm wondering what people think I need to work on. Also, even though I know you're nice, Amy, some of the things you're posting in this thread CAN hurt people. I know I shouldn't take these things to heart because I'm sure I need to improve plenty of things, and yet I get a feeling of self-dissatisfaction when I read this thread. I feel like the work that I've put into my writing for years hasn't been worth it, because it obviously displeased you enough to open a thread telling everyone how boring their stories are. I'm probably coming off as whiny and a bit full of myself, but that's how I feel. I'd suggest this thread be closed, but then everyone would peg me as a bitch, so...

Anyway... I try my best. And people like my story and the other stories. I think that is what really matters. We are here to have fun, not to win a literature prize.

| Promo Squad Member; Media Team Member  | I think that Amy just ment this thread to help people who have trouble writing, who want to get better at it by getting advises from people who read and who write. I don't see anything wrong with it. of course everybody has a different view on writing/ reading and even life. But that doesn't take away that you can't share what you think of some things. So advises were even usefull to me. I know I have a dad grammar and spelling, which I am working on, but English is my 3th language and I have dyslexia so I can't help it. Other then that I found it very intresting to read some of the views from other people. Since all I had until now was mine view and the view of Morenor Don't take it all bad and wrong. This can be use full to people.
