OK, Ok, or Okay?

[Recidiva]

I've been here five years and you've been here a year. You've already posted HALF the number of times I have. Not just prolific with the stories then. You're even posting at a rate more prolific than a chat room junkie!!!



I love the way you tell me I'll keep coming back for more and that's a bad thing, but you'll keep coming back to point out my 'techniques' and that's a good thing.

I guess you have those double standards to keep up.

Oh, please don't pull the post count card. *sigh*

 

[LadyCibelle]

Am I the only one who's noticed his vocabulary shortage?

Every other posts, at least, he comes back with gangbangers and the likes....not very imaginative don't you think?

 

[BlackShanglan]

"The point is that he wrote vastly more unpublished words."

Oh, yes, right. Don't we all? Pretty sure he wasn't spending most of his words "just pretending" in anonymous notes, however.

It seems highly unlikely to me that most of the 22,000-odd posts by a Lit author to which you evidently object were spent in such pursuits, either. Yet you've suggested that the mere existence of those posts, in comparison to the number of stories posted by the author, is a sign of banality on the part of the author. Is there some reason you're now finding this position less attractive than you once did?

"Wherever have you gotten this idea that authors who ended well-published began that way?"

Whoever said that? Not me?

Indeed, you. That implication can be found here:

Regarding William Butler Yeats--I rather think the point is that he wrote a whole hell of a lot more published words than kitten-pictured chatty gangbanging notes--and, I very much doubt he guessed at his answers or pretended to have expertise and knowledge he didn't have when someone asked him a question about writing and publishing.

But, what does what a well-published writer can get away with in writing have to do with what an unpublished writer competing with a couple of thousand other unpublished writers can expect to be accepted?

You imply that Yeats "got away with" the things I had previously mentioned because he was a well-published writer. You never inquired, however, as to when those events occurred. By a happy accident, nearly every incident I mentioned was from the earliest part of his career, long before he had made a name for himself.

Whatever are you doing this nit-picking on unrelevant topics for just to feel superior?

I like the sense of this sentence so much that I can't bear to ask what on earth you are doing with its grammar, or where I can purchase your preferred dictionary so that I may locate the word "unrelevant." I'm too delighted with the fact that you have evidently divined my intention. I hope to help you to ask that question above as often as humanly possible. It is my cherished hope that eventually, you might begin to give it your sincere attention.

Oh, please don't pull the post count card. *sigh*

oh, the frightened weasel already pulled it several pages back. Isn't the first time, either.

Supposedly, if you have a high post count, you aren't a "real" writer, or some other such nonsense.

"unrelevant."

*snort*

good catch.

pot, kettle, baby.

Most of my free time was spent in my pool today. That's probably where'll I'll spend most of it tomorrow too...and the next day, even.

I have tons of free time. Life's hard for me that way.

 

[sr71plt]

"unrelevant."

Yep, that was a real screamer, wasn't it? Thanks for pointing it out. Everyone certainly does need an editor behind them. Thanks for being there for me.

 

[cloudy]

You're not talking about MY weasel, are you?

no, darlin', the weasel in this thread...the one that's trying to overcompensate for his *whispers* other problems.

 

[BlackShanglan]

"I would trust you, kbate, and Shang to be impartial and honest."

I'm sure you all have been voting as a girlfriends block so long you have no idea what the word "independent" means, but, no, certainly no one playing the chat room game here is independent.

I beg your pardon, but I am not a girl. I am a horse.

As for the reasoning here - aside from the slight to the honesty of others, your statement would exclude you as well. In fact, it seems rather onerous to ask people you've met in a chatroom to supply a panel of judges who don't use chatrooms.

Just like moths to the flame. Pavlovian.

Thank you, however, for this. It's quite ... remarkable. By far the best thing this thread has produced.

Oh, you mean limp-dick?

"Most of my free time was spent in my pool today."

I know what you mean. I had to spend time today convincing my granddaughters that washing a car was as good as going to the pool (it hit 100 degrees here today) and then taking them to a Discovery Museum as a reward.

Now I'm lagging behind on two book edits. Life can be so tedious.

I don't wash my own cars. That's what husbands are for.

So, not only are you an arsehole but you're also a slave worker? Not man enough to wash your own car, are you?

Frankly, I pity the child/grandchild who has you in his/her life.

 

[BlackShanglan]

Damn. I don't suppose, Cloudy, that you wash your own horse?

 

[RogueLurker]

Or maybe he thrives on bursting the bubbles of chat room gangbangers. Yeah, maybe that's it. *smile*

What do you all need me for in conducting your "contest"? Pick and choose my stories as you wish and do whatever "contest" you want to do. You hadn't planned on being fair about it anyway, obviously. You're only interested in lynchings. I liked all of my stories--or I wouldn't have submitted them. And since I made no claims of comparison quality, it doesn't matter to me how such a "contest" would turn out. You're only in it for the smear value anyway. The outcome will hardly be a surprise.

With each and every one of your postings here, you exhibit your mob techniques. This is what you chat room gangbangers do.

Ok - when you want to propose what you would consider a fair way to judge a writing contest, send me a PM.

 

[cloudy]

Damn. I don't suppose, Cloudy, that you wash your own horse?

oh, well, that requires my more personal attention.

I thought she rode it hard and put it away wet. (I've never quite understood that expression)

not a thing was planned. See? You greatly underestimate me. I don't need back up; I don't need a "gang" - I don't need any of those things. I'm quite happy standing on my own.

So...are we going to do this, or are you going to come up with another excuse why we can't?

 

[DeeZire]

Thank you.

No. Thank you. Your story was very well-written - an effortless read. That, to me, is the mark of a great writer; when the writing doesn't get in the way of the story.
And now, to make up for the kiss-ass comment above, I'm going to go write a story about dead kittens, OK?

Shoot! Bad timing. He's going to think I'm part of the gang. Sorry

 

[BlackShanglan]

oh, well, that requires my more personal attention.

That's the sort of comment that brings in a record time on the barrels.

 

[sr71plt]

"Ok - when you want to propose what you would consider a fair way to judge a writing contest, send me a PM."

I said what I thought would be a fair contest when cloudy first challenged me. Go back and read it.

And, as I said, you don't need me to do your preplanned lynching of me. Have whatever "contest" you want. I have plenty of story choices posted at Literotica. Have at it. In the process, I hope you find some you enjoy, so your little party isn't a complete waste of your time and effort.
