| davey jones. Falling In Love With The Board  Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 7018 | I was going into detail about the surge of non-GD stories, which is a TREND. I was going explain what I was trying to do and ask if there was anything wrong with non-GD on here.  Yeah, the editors thing was... |
| Banach95 King For A Couple Of Days Age: 51 Gender: Female Posts: 4870 | Handguns For Hearts: no one is hollering at you HFH  You'll are fine  |
| lyrical_mess Falling In Love With The Board  Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 5278 | Handguns For Hearts: i agree. all of a sudden, everyone's writing non GD stories, and most of them suck. they're like "my life story" or "what two mundane little girls did on summer vacation". and you really have to pick through them to find the good ones. and HFH, might I suggest putting Waiting to Exhale on fictionpress.net? some of the stories there are really good. |

| davey jones. Falling In Love With The Board Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 7018 | Is ANYONE capable of writing a cutting story that ISN'T crappy and cliche?!  |
| Banach95 King For A Couple Of Days Age: 51 Gender: Female Posts: 4870 | Handguns For Hearts: yes... you and some others |
| Pickle Geek Age: - Gender: - Posts: 461 | Handguns For Hearts: What are you saying?   |
| Kimsex Addict  Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 13097 | Handguns For Hearts: Yes, you just have to pick through all the shit |
| davey jones. Falling In Love With The Board Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 7018 | Pickle: I mean a story where someone cuts and it's not all OMG i'm so depressed so i should cut! and that's it. I think it's possible to write a story like that that is deep and understandable...and well written...  |
| Kimsex Addict Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 13097 | Handguns For Hearts: Well, A Note Don't Come Easy is kinda like that...  Personally, I don't go looking for those kind of stories because cutting grosses me out (I'm completely afraid of blades) *shudders* But I know what you mean, It's the same with stories that contain abuse. But i guess its hard to write about somthing like if you've never experienced it. So maybe thats why most of it sucks so much. |

| lyrical_mess Falling In Love With The Board Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 5278 | Hubert Elleson: some of them are good. The "If you thought being adopted was bogus" story started out really good until it just jumped into the future instead of ending nicely. thats another trend. a lot of stories become soap operas. and i don't mean like dramatic and awesome and everyone's waiting for the next part (*cough* HMD *cough*), but more like, the end of the story comes, so they just put in something else and progress the story forever until it has nothing to do with the original story. and then they make sequels that are stupider. |
| davey jones. Falling In Love With The Board Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 7018 | Yeah... Is it an absolute disgrace to submit a non-GD story? I badly want to continue and it really nags me that people have a problem with it. Asking why these kinds of stories are on a GD site is like asking why black people are walking around in a white community. There's no harm in diversity. And I plan to get the story published. (some day) [we should have a seperate forum for stories like these...] |
| lyrical_mess Falling In Love With The Board Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 5278 | A Melancholy Autumn: thats totally fine. I mean, for my story Fallen (yeah I'm obsessed with it) I want to get it published some day. There's two versions. A non GD version which will become way more intense. and a GD version, which I post on the site and plan to tone down a little at the big scary murder strango parts. and yeah...we should... |
| davey jones. Falling In Love With The Board Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 7018 | I'm sick of seeing so many stories that boring and undescriptive. You know what I mean? Things just get straight to the point. No clever way to build up to it, nothing. But of course, I have no room to talk. Where has all the talent gone? Apparently, I'm still searching for [more of] it. |
| lyrical_mess Falling In Love With The Board Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 5278 | A Melancholy Autumn: Read Billie Joe and The Other Woman. Boring,boring,boring. I mean, the author was pretty good with grammar and all, but I was tempted to delete it. I think the author has a link to it in the thread for it. There was no build up. nothing . "Their food came. They ate and talked about stuff. They left". I swear to god, it said almost exactly that. |
| HavingAGreenDay Falling In Love With The Board  Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 5699 | lyrical_gaah52:Yeah but at the same time if the author is vacating this board, which she does, your comments could be registered as hurtful. I don't think we should be directly pointing fingers at any one story. And don't ever delete because you think the story is boring. That's not a reason to do so. |
