Welcome to Corty's Office of Mental Health!
Did someone stupid barge in, comment something on your hard work, slapping your mojo around and back before dropping a fat dump and leaving? Come here and vent! I'm here to listen.
We all have THAT guy once in a while who knows it better, knows more about YOUR story, and can predict the future that you haven't even written yet. They are just too busy to start writing it for you.
Sometimes, we need a moment just to vent, complain, and let the stress flow out and feel better. In my office, you are free to do so IF you follow these simple rules:
- No literal name-calling.
- You can't drop the names of others, the commenters, reviewers, users, followers, voices in your head, or anybody you are here to vent about. This is meant to let you cry into the ether and have a place to air out your frustrations about things that happened to you and your story. If @NotCorty commented that "ur stori iz stoopid, poopiehead" this is not the place to drum up a crusade to take back the holy land of weebs. I'll report you and ask for the thread to be locked and deleted. (It is against the forum rules, dummy, I will 1v1 your ass)
- No hating on others.
- This is a continuation of the above-mentioned rule. I made this thread because I know how it feels when someone misunderstands your work and you can't even explain it for a multitude of reasons. It is bad to keep it in, so I'm here to listen to your woes. Hey, if you want, we can discuss the issue and see what's what. I'm game if you are.
- Don't be THAT guy.
- Please refrain from excessive cursing. Once again, the forum rules forbid it. You are an author; be creative. Think about it.
PLEASE NOTE:
This doesn't mean this is a feedback threat. Even if you leave your stuff here, there are no guarantees that anyone else or I would take a look at it.
I think that is it.
Oh, and this is for authors. Readers, you have your spaces, you are constantly venting anyway, calling stories and authors stoopid all the time. Now the turntables are scratched, and I'm DJing, waka-waka-waka!
Let me start:
My biggest woe is the type of readers who come in and start commenting on what the MC should do. Constantly. Telling that this is STOOPID, that he should have done this, or this, and kill that and that because he is STOOPID. Like... man, he is not you, it's not your self-insert, it's mine! In my eyes, your ideas are STOOPID, and I think that your thought process is equivalent to a primary school bully who got told his mom is the best pole dancer in Moe's XXX Bar at the exit of I-95.
