Has anyone wrote a short story?
 

Has anyone wrote a short fiction story?

I like to write and submitted one of my stories in the fiction post. I would like to see some stories from other memebers.

I was thinking of posting something at some point. I'll be sure to take a look at yours!

Ive posted a couple down there, and Im actually working on another one right now.

I looked for other stories, but didn't see any. What am I doing wrong?

Your settings are on default. Right under the thread titles, there are things you can change. Set the last box to "the beginning", and you should be good.

It's been my childhood dream.. Unfortunately, writing has been my waterloo since my grade 7 teacher introduced me to the complex world of basic sentence construction. :(

You know, I hadn't written anything for a long time until I saw this post. I went and wrote a short for the horror fiction post. Thanks for the thought.:)

Thanks.....I've been waiting years to post this pic.

Hasn't anyone else wrote a short story they would like read?

It would be great if we read each other's stories and comment.

WRITTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT IS "WRITTEN" not "has anyone wrote" - - - if you could write a sentence like "has anyone wrote" then, to be painfully honest, this dream of writing is exactly that - A DREAM!!!!!!

Big deal. It is why we have editors. If you read my story you would notice that I catch most of these little mistakes.

If you have a story, let me know. Horror stories is all I care about.

read something like Requiem for a Dream or Naked Lunch or House of Leaves, THEN tell me that basic sentence construction is a reason not to write anything...

All great writers have great editors and all great writers listen to their great editors... it's how the writing world goes around.

It amazes me how people tolerate uncapitalized words, misspellings and "2" instead of "two", as but a few examples, in all the post. But let someone accidentally use the wrong tense of a word and they can't write.

Real stupid.

I want to hear about stories. If you wrote one, tell me about it. I want to read your SHORT STORY.

i have a horrific short story called REVENGE OF THE COPYEDITOR - its very gory and is filled with COMMA SPLICES (and DICES)!


geez- do you think your imagination is so awesome that your utter inability to render a single sentence within the broad parameters of the english language can be overcome. . .

(ALSO - PLEASE head down to the often neglected "post your fiction" section and spare us these ramblings)

i started writing something once. everyone i showed it to thought it was really good, but i never really figured out what i wanted to write about.
like i started it but never finished it cause i didn't know what the plot was going to be about.

Zero, in your hardened ego do you really think you speak for everyone when you say, "spare us your rambling"?

Please... your're definitely not "Us".

If you did write this story I will read it and offer a full critique.

Just checked the neglected fiction post and you didn't write a story. You lied.

It is neglected and I'm trying to revive it.

Zero, write a story. In other words, put up or shut up. lol

You must be affraid of a critique.

oh my god - this Hemingway just actually looked to check and see if i had written a short story called "Revenge of the Copyeditor". . . i'm literally speechless . . .

There ya go... I edited that for ya.

I prefer the first person but thanks for the edit. lol

Who exactly are you that we would want or for lord knows what reason, be afraid of your critique?

Please... spare me the shit. Your not zero. Unless, this is a conspiracy and many of you send instant messages to each other. All I can say is... lame. lol

If you don't have a story, don't waste your time.

What the hell does me not being zero have to do with anything?

Shhhh, if you ask that he might think people give a shit

You left two 'f's in 'afraid'.

Sacked!

I bumped mine. Awaiting your response.

I'm going to read it now.

wait???? i always thought Austin was my secret alter ego? but now - SHOCK HORROR - you tell me we are NOT the same person. . . mind whirling, losing sense of self. . .

Shit, I did leave two f's... Shit, so I am sacked. Man, I am so completely sacked...

Relax - you're sackless.

;)

Flayed one, I left feedback for your story.

"You" is singular and referred to zero, you said "we" as if I spoke to everyone. Still confused?

Just post a story and I will critique.

I put another one up.

I don't think I'm wrong in thinking they are getting worked up enough to say, soon enough, something like: "Suck our (plural) balls," or "Sample our (plural) aged rectums.".

The "i" should be capitalized and you might want to put the story title in quotations considering you use all caps on certain parts of your sentences. Also, all caps is screaming. Why are you so loud?

Another thing "its" should be it's as in it is, "english" should be capitalized, "COPYEDITOR" is two words, the "g" in geez should be capitalized and "geez isn't a word. I think you meant "Jeez".

My, my, my... your command of the English language is astounding to say the least.

I think that just about does it. Of course, my inability to render a single sentence in the broad parameters of the English language may have affected my ability to edit this post.

You've spelt "ego", "definately", "you're" and "afraid" wrong so far.

Therefore, I'm not so sure these are going to be reliable critiques.

You spelled definitely incorrectly. So we all make mistakes, just my point entirely.


I'm not making claims that I use perfect English, far from it. I merely pointed out the fact that zero doesn't either, and has no reason to complain about my usage.

Anyway, thanks for showing me my errors. Ego and definitely where a typos... you're was just a fuck-up. Also, I didn't spell afraid wrong.

You definately spelt 'afraid' wrong, sir - twice now.

Whoops - 'definitely'... I'm as bad as you.

;)

Whatever the fuck ever, I didn't know I had to be so technical.

We don't have to be so technical, but others are holding me to it. We all could use some help with spelling and grammar, and this is my point for responding to zero correcting me.

It's not a big deal to make mistakes. It's a human forum.

Yes, I didn spell afraid wrong. I keep hitting the "f" key among others as I type fast. Add that to my shitty grammar and my posts can be a mess. lol
