With the sudden explosion of stories?
It wouldn't have anything to do with the recent GAD win would it?
I mean, you had 1 or 2 a month before, and all of a sudden
"Story!"
"Short story!"

And they suck.

Well, it is the 'intelligent discussion' forum, so it must take a degree of brains to get all those words in the right order.

The Chat forum on the other hand...I look away for 5 minutes and it's suddenly full of gibbering retards, who can't string a coherent sentence. Oh wait, that's how it was before...

Whatever the motivation, anything that encourages creative writing is a good thing in my opinion. Okay, so you may think some or all of the stories are the literary equivalent of heartburn, but it's practice. I'm all in favour of anyone getting the hang of expressing themselves.

Even if a lot of that expression does seem to revolve around murdering helpless women...

I agree with the final statement.
Only a select 1 or 2 are eventually worth reading.
Pour example, He Hit Me, and Legacy.

That's about the only 2 out of the 382371 recent ones that were any good.

And I was just about to post a story about a three-breasted pre-op northern transsexual called Doug...

I tend to find the majority of them are about murder and serial killers.

You crazy kids eh?

Therefore I avoid them.

If I want short stories that play with my head, I'll re-read Clive Barkers "Books Of Blood", even though his career has spiraled out of control at the moment.

Pinhead vs Michael Myers? Pah!

As far as I'm aware, I'm still not in contention for GAD anyway. I just like to write. Although I suspect you are likely correct with your assumption regarding the motivations of some of the others.
