Post these suck-ass stories somewhere else.
Somebody needs to say it and I don't care about what you think of me enough to be the one to stand up and say it.
They suck.
Plain and simple.
Harsh but true. Deal with it.
Most of this first page are stories. Bad ones.
A couple are alright, but most are sub-A Level English lit essays on predictability.
"He sat in a big armchair in room. The room was big, he turned on a television. The television was big"
Christ....
"What do you know Goatboy? Who are you to tell us what to post and where? Blah blah blah blah"
I'm me, it's true, shut up.
"Intelligent discussion"
Nothing about the bombs in Turkey, nothing about Dubya's visit to London, nothing about the anniversary of JFK's assasination.
"Well I'm not interested in that stuff"
Well you should be. It's the world, it's what is going on around you, it's what will affect and shape the outcomes of your lives.
Or if you *are* going to write a short story, write one that is
(a) Interesting
(b) Has a point to it
(c) Doesn't involve murder/blood/vampires/war
You want to learn to write?
Great, take a ticket and join the back of line. It stretches waaaaaaay round the corner there, bring a packed lunch cos you'll be there a while.
You want to write seriously, you want it to be what, published?
Go for it.
But please, once you've written something, read it back to see if it can be improved. Give it to somebody that doesn't know you wrote it.
And stop crying when somebody says "That's terrible/sorry not interested/read it before/whatever".
Do me a favour you budding Danielle Steeles:
I'll set you a topic to write about in another thread, write your best attempt in there.
Your very best, re-write it again and then again.
Then submit it.
Write about what you know, something that matters to you. Inject it with yourself and not 5 sentences trying to describe the bloody temperature.
I'll pop back in a couple hours and give you the topic.
Trust me, I'm (in 2 years time) an English Teacher, and y'all are my students.
Just please stop bashing out gore stories with your forehead rods and getting huffy when somebody says "That reeks of ass".

I've posted two. In all my life here
Both GCSE Coursework, so they'll be sub-A Level standard.
All I want from posting my story up here is possibly some constructive comments and criticism, instead of my teachers; 'I can't tell you'.
See?

And of course my latest attempt "A Guess : Story" is bo' shank (love that phrase). Ahem anyway you I agree many of the stories coming in though are terrible and the people who wrote them should have their arms lobbed off if the even look at a keyboard again.
I was getting ready to post something like this.
The forum is being dominated by them now, and it's very true. Most of them are absolutely crap.
And the hilarious thing is, is that they all claim that "itz not cuzza da gad cumin bak!!!!1"

I too had noticed the sudden influx of stories. As you have said, some are ok, some are actually quite good, and some suck donkeys turnips.
Meh? Can't say I really care one way or the other. There are still a few decent topics around, which are worth reading, you just have to hunt a little more for them. I will save you some time though. Don't bother going in the "General Chat" forum.
