Rant
17 years ago
So, I have been posting my main project "The Riddle" on both FA and FTT, yet I get hardly any reaction to it of late. As such, I have decided to rant for no particular reason.
What is it about good writing that internet folks avoid it? Is it really that horrible to read a story with a good plot? Excuse me if you just want to read crap that jumps from molestation to rape without a breath, but some of us serious writers would like some comments every once in a while. I mean, I can't draw worth crap, so what else can I do? It just seems to me that the shitty fanfics are being read way more than my hard work. Granted, The Riddle is not your typical story, but I would think that people would want something unique instead of yet another story of Sasuke ass-raping Naruto. (Seriously! Way too much Naruto buttsecks!)
Just for clarification, I am not seeking the cliche comments that just say "Good job" or "I like it." Read this quote by Stacy Horn, one of the pioneers of the internet, when she was talking about discussions on forums. "It's actually better than a live conversation. In a conversation that's non-real time, you can take your time and really consider your thoughts and say something more substantial." Something substantial! That means that you take your time instead of just being post whores. If you are going to comment on something (anything), you should at least make some effort. On FTT, I have had a few posts that actually demonstrate that they read my story instead of just commenting for shits and giggles. I realize that I am being melodramatic, but I am absolutely sick of working for hours on a story that no one reads. The worst part is, when I don't update enough, I get people bitching at me for not "fufilling my commitment"! I'm sorry but I wasn't even aware you were reading this story. I'm failing to fulfill my commitment, you say? Well, I have four words for you. Shut the hell up! If you think that can bitch at me for not writing at the pace that you want me to write at, you can't! I am the writer, not you! I will write when I feel like it.
I am just at one of those moments where I hate the human race.

Sorry I don't commit all that much but I can never really think of anything to say that is substantial. But Let me try one more time. Here we go. I've been fan of the story every since I read the first part. I liked the plot and how different it is from most of the other stories I've read and it keeps throwing me through loops when I think one thing will happen when the other happens instead. Your character development is well done and I like how the main character gets attached to a stuff animal but won't admit he can let go. I'm always checking FA to see if you have posted a new part for me to read and as the story progress you style gets better and more unique. Well that's all I have to say and never stop writing it would be a sin to let a talent like yours slip away.

OP
I am glad to hear that you enjoy the story. I'm just in one of those moods where I need feedback other than my own.
