1-Bombing on Loving Wives

So ... you write to be told that you're good.

Whenever this notion comes up, everyone denies that they do. Yet I see comments like this all the time, slam dunk evidence that many of us in fact do. A writer who will gladly choose significantly less eyeballs in exchange for higher score and more positive feedback. This writer is obviously writing more to be told that he's good than he is to actually share his story.
I thought I made it very clear that I didn't want to endure more "cuck fag shit" comments in the LW. Maybe you missed that part. I have written stories that I knew would bomb in the LW, and I don't desire that anymore. To me, it sounds like you write so MORE people will see it, whether they like it or not. I chose to do it a different way. But I guess I'm still writing to upset people because I knew this post would call you out.

I write because I want the reader to enjoy what they read. It's the same thing when I read - I want to enjoy what I read. Doesn't that make sense? Why would I want to do it any other way?

You can check me off your list - you've bashed me in a post now. You can move on to someone else.
 
And once again, you are being excessively arrogant and rude.
Once again, no more than you.

The writers aren't writing the right stories.
I've never said that, and I find it interesting that you led with a strawman argument…

I have no problem with people writing what they want to write, but I also respect people reading what they want to read. So, what I have talked about is better category choice and knowing your audience.

The readers aren't using the voting system properly.
Well, based on the number of threads about it, you might be the only one suggesting otherwise.

The AHers are too dumb to read my posts correctly.
Only some of them.

Dammit if only everyone on the planet acted the way that I say is proper, I might actually be happy.
Nah. I have no desire to rule the world. That kind of responsibility wouldn't make me happy at all. It's bad enough dealing with the shit-stains from the assholes in my little portion of it.

Dude, lighten up.
I'd tell you a joke, but that would be redundant.
 
Why not click a star?

Why should they? Explain why anyone should bother to click on a star? That actually takes doing something. And what do they get for their effort?
The same reason that they click on like buttons on other entertainment sites, most likely.

Besides, it really doesn't take much, unless they bailed out of the story before they got to the rating stars, which was actually the point I was making.

I didn't bash you. i just pointed out your own logic, whether you understood it or not. Then you went on to agree with my stance yet still tell me off and insist that I am wrong. Agreeing with me and telling me that I'm wrong doesn't make any sense at all, so it's obvious that you don't fully understand everything that you are saying. You are also very being defensive here, which is always the ego stepping to the forefront.

Oh yes you did say that.

The key to "cleaning up" LW is to stop trying to force the audience to accept stories they don't want. The real trolls in Loving Wives tend to post bad fetish stories…

First, I'm hardly the only one suggesting otherwise. Certainly there are many who claim that readers don't vote properly but there are many of us who are fine with letting the voters just vote. Readers will vote how they vote any you can't control that. To blame your scores for that is vain and only disempowers you. All of these whiners about readers not voting properly are simply just that ... whiners.

Nah. I have no desire to rule the world.

WHEW! ; )
