The joint stories should either be taken to the role-playing forum, or they should just be gone all together.

quote Deis

I didn't say concrit wasn't allowed. I said the forum was overrun by fanbrats who don't know how to do it and don't see the point in it.

<sub>Cba to find quotes, but I know some people have said, essentially, that any comments other than "omg, you're such a good writer!" aren't welcome.

I'd also disagree about the joints going into the RP forum, but I suppose it depends on how they're carried out. I haven't actually read any of them.</sub>

Good example, but those are mainly the people who are just getting into writing and such, (that I see) and people get a lot of favourtism. So, yeah, I'm on the fence about your point. Half and half situation really.

We're not Roleplaying anything. We're writing a story.[/size]

<sub>My opening sucks.

This is problematic, because it's the first thing people see.</sub>

I barely ever get comments.

Or Here

The only comments certain people give are like, "Great characters, he's cool", stuff like that. You can C + C all you want, I don't care. It's only going to help me improve.

That's the point. This forum is crap because no one gives criticism and if a few select people actually try to help we get flamed by most people.

Prime example: http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/32/t1199763-tip/

I won't read your joint story, because I hate those, but maybe I'll look at the other one.

EDIT: Oh wait, they're both joint stories. Sorry.

We should have a REQUIREMENT to state whether or not a story is a Short Story or not. I'm clicking all of these links to interesting titles, and they all sound like 13-year-old fan-fictions, lol.

Oh...
Sigh, sigh, sigh.

Would it be possible to have an general award thread made for this forum? Where we could vote for the person who best befits each category?

Similar to the General Neo awards, just different categories?

quote born2be

No, pretty much everyone in this forum only appreciates comments such as "OMG YOU'RE SO GODO KJDFJASDKFJSDALJF ". I've just given up helping most of the people.

I have to agree with Caitlin there. All the comments I ever get now are "Wow HH/Marie, that's like amazing! I really like the name [insert my character's name here please]!" and "OMG WOW CONTINUE OMG"

I've never gotten actual CC before, just stupid comments like that which are just a few words. Even one line of something would be okay, as long as it has constructive advice and comments in it. All we hear today is "OMG IS SO AND SO GUNNA DAI?!ONESHIFT!"

<sub>Yeah, I mean, I like comments that are nice, and people saying they like my story. But I don't wanna keep seeing: "Like it. Continue." No, I wanna see stuff like, "What's gonna happen? Is he still alive? Please, I'm into this!" It's nice to see people ask questions about your story, because it means they're following it. But still, I don't like predictions such as, "I bet she dies. =)" That just ruins the whole story.

My point is, encouraging posts and criticized posts are what I'm really looking for. Not stupid one-liner posts.</sub>
