All You Grammar Dung Beetles - Writers Forum

SevenWritez · 04-04-2008, 09:10 PM

I posted a story a few days back and asked for comments regarding both its characters and its plot. Rather than getting the feedback I asked for, a throng of would-be editors rolled on in with their piles of pretentious shit and told me to fix my "Us" to "You." I find this offensive.

Listen, I'm a good writer, I know that. In fact, I'm a great writer. I roll pearls from sand, while you all roll shit from dirt. I don't like this. Not at all. I wanted to know if my fire ring made sense against an electrical cloak, and you told me instead to, "Capitalize John."

What the fuck? Fuck off, man. I just wanted critique on the story of Mehlkeszuk and his comrades. Go roll your shit elsewhere.

EDIT: For all the people who can't seem to tell this is a joke (Fire ring, electrical cloak; Jesus Christ, people), just realize that this is something based off of another thread. And for those of you who got it, thank you. However, Lin and Sam, thanks for being gullible. I held you both on a platform before this.

And to Ilasir: Yeah, you did.

Go away, dung beetle, before I crush you with my shoe.

you may of heard of this?

lol cool off man, did it ever cross your mind that maybe their was nothing wrong with what you were asking for advice on? so they gave you feedback on the only thing that they considered needed work.

but what the hell point me in the direction of your story and i'll throw my 2 cents at it, and you wont have to worry about grammar from me. as i suck at it, so i'm not really one to be pointing out mistakes unless they're painfully obvious.

Edit:
lmao

It's ok Angel, I still love you.

Too often, invertebrates have been ignored in biodiversity studies because they are considered too difficult to work with because there are too many of them, many have not been named, and their biology remains largely unknown. While these objections are true for most invertebrates, they do not apply to dung beetles. Dung beetles have a well-defined biology, the species are all named and have keys for their identification, and there are not too many of them - at most there are only 200 kinds of dung beetle in the whole of New South Wales compared to 800 kinds of ants). Moreover, dung beetles are easy to sample because they are attracted to baited traps.

I told you so.

I resent that! I would like to point out that nowhere in my previous post did I get a single ya ya out - I kept them firmly locked in the cupboard beneath the stairs, where they belong.

Wow a seventeen year old "Great Writer". Cool. PLEASE DO post some of this great work for our edification.

Some years ago, an editor got me so angry that I wanted to kill her, slowly.

A couple of years later, I was reading my published book in the holiday home I had bought with the proceeds. Being a hoarder, I still had the original MS, 400 pages of double-spaced genius, which she had decimated.

I've been apologising for my stupid thoughts, to myself, ever since.

Didn't someone else post this same rant recently?

be specific about what you want feedback on. If that doesn't work, you just have to appreciate what you did get

Ever heard the saying 'Self praise is no praise'? Just because you think you're the best writer in the world don't make it so. Maybe if you had kindly asked people to comment on your 'fire ring' crap, you would have gotten the replies you required. But to come here and start firing f**ks to everyone in sight merely tells me all I need to know about you.

Good day.

Sam.

This post made me cry.

Ilasir is a psychic. There's no other way around it.
