    It's the total brutality hidden behind the formal speech that gets me. Tops Methene, tops.

    I'd flame you back but it's too much work.

    You really don't want people here to like you, do you?

    If you want to write a fic, then you have to put effort into it. Shit house plot line won't do anything. And if people do get pissed at you for doing something like that then you deserve it.

    1: This is DLP. We are harsh bastards who don't stand for your kind of crap.

    2: You're a git. If you want to write fanfiction and ask for help, accept it and put some effort in. If not...fuck off.

    And jeezuz...try to have a little spine you snivelling git. If Methene or any of us rant at you, bitch back. You feel satisfied, we get a laugh and everyones happy.

    Cushty?

    DLP: the only site where you're actually looked down upon for avoiding flame wars.

    I HATE when people come trolling for 'how to write' tips or 'what should I do next in my story?' tips or 'what pairing do you want to see?' tips. There are things called writing classes out there which people can take to learn how to write fiction. Heck, if you ever attend a convention (ie, Gencon or Dragoncon, etc) you can probably find a seminar where you can take a lesson on how to write fiction.

    If I ever have a decent enough plot to write that doesn't fail all my standards, I would write it myself and not give it to someone else.

    And if I can't figure out my own bloody pairings, I won't include them at all!

    Geez, I just ranted. 'Scuse me.

    I think you should join #Thestudy at irc, they are great at spotting weaknesses in the plot and pointing out how stupid it is. Place is great. :)
