the forum seemingly wont delete my seemingly horrible writing no matter how nicely I ask, very saddening
Deleting accounts, yes. Must have missed the bit where they say that horrible writing is kept for future generations to point and laugh at
Nobody wants to point and laugh at your work. In the nicest way possible, nobody cares that much - we're all preoccupied with improving our own writing. The only acceptable response to critique is, "Thank you." Should be the first rule of writers' club.
And it was a double request. Which I granted after repairing the deletion rampage. Unfiltered humanity...
There was someone who joined a couple months ago, discovered the erotica section, and made their first post an auto-ban request, IIRC.
Okie dokie. Also I did not know there was any subtlety on that prior case. Unless you are using that in an ironic fashion.
I was going to say, yeah... It's a request I seem to get all the time. Uncomfortably, there's a strange intimacy to the engagement that sets my skin to crawl. Like I'm being made to participate in a fetish wherein I am an unwilling cenobite being conjured through Lemarchand's box. "What's your pleasure?"
I plan on it (It's next to my desk right now). After I finish up my Metrical writing Blog series, I plan on going back to my study on Clive Barker. (Reason I pulled off it was I had 6 people PM if I could explain how to write in Meter, so....) I know he is quoted saying it is his favorite book that he's written. I really can't wait to dive into it and see what things I can learn.
I really liked it. The daring retell and repurposing of Abrahamic mythos was scintillating in how scandalous it felt. Also, I learned that though I totally dig his writing, the man will strand prepositions just for fun.
Its a triggered snowflake thing .... like a petulant child "Go on then punish me I don't care" ... they don't really expect mummy and daddy to send them to the room and put the TV in the loft for a month
I blame the insane hurricane/cyclone season we're having (check Asia as well, people!) Repeated extreme lows in barometric pressure is sucking down chilled gasses from the mesosphere, causing snow flurries. #eatshitanncoulter
