for Easy Steps to Lure Readers to your Bad Story12/10/2006 c1 Guest
I think that in forums like FP, the thing to remember is karma. One of the marks of a truly conceited author is one who expects many reviews but she/he writes few reviews. Anyway, I know what you're saying about the ellipses. Good work, E.

You're very egotistical, aren't you? All you seem to do is blag off biased, contemptuous opinions about teenagers, children and things that have nothing to do with you, and then you plow a free online fiction site to try and humiliate people all over the planet by scoffing at their work - something you would never do to their face because you're safe behind a computer screen thousands of miles away.
If you're so fantastic and clever - why are you on fictionpress and bothering other people like you're jealous?

Very well put. I may not leave my titles blank, but they aren't very catchy. Bleh, really to work on that...

Personally, I think this is a little stiff. I mean, I was reading some reviews for this and people were all like, 'I hate it when people do this, and people do that.' Can't there be some love and humor and randomness in this world? I mean, if you're a totally serious person, then I can see what you're getting at, but I really don't see the need for anti-humor essays. thank you for your time. By the time you finish reading this you will have totally and utterly wasted approximately 30 seconds of your time. Depending on how fast a reader you are...

I find your report clever and more suffisticated than Dr. Phil. Kepp up the good work, and I hope you did think my story was that bad.

haha, good essay-it's so true! I mean, I don't come up with the best stuff, but I hate it when people say "This story is about a girl...yeah I can't think of what to say so just read it" or stuff like that! gr

Something everybody thinks of, but nobosy writes about. You even wrote it nicely so everybody would udestand! I like that. If you keep writing stuff like this people will definetly have a different oppinuin. Very...god! I don't know. I liked though.

Thanks for that. The points raised might have been not very surprising(have a good title, summary, etc) but they were still helpful. It is strange how many writers leave out a summary or title. Course, my own could probably use a little work and I've been thinking about changing them-this has just convinced me of that fact. I see countless stories with only 1 or 2 reviews and am sure if they just had a better title or summary that could be improved upon. Thanks for taking your time to write this. Luv Kaitx

Interesting. I agree... though sometimes coming up with a summary is harder than it sounds

I've found that on fictionpress, the best way to get reviews is to just be a whore and put juicy little details that are only minor parts of your story but will drag people in to read them. have an artsy story? Make a trashy sounding summary, anyway, people love it. ;~) anyway, nice little essay, even if it's a tad boring. punch it up a little bit! Anyway, keep writin!

The Easiest Steps to Lure Readers is to write a "Easy Steps to Lure Readers to your Bad Story" and Lure the wanna-be- writers in and tell them what they already know and make them think that they learnt something new from the author and write raving reviews.

Wow, I was expecting another 'essay' I could laugh at while giving it a harsh review. But this is actually helpful, full of good advice and, well, nicely written. I can't tell you how nice it is to see a piece of writing in here without a single spelling or grammatical error that stands out. Yes, I can be quite an English freak. Anyways, very nice.
