Concern The Following · 2:57am May 13th, 2014
I'm not to into my older stories... I think they suck horribly. Like, enough for ME to be embarrassed. Yes, I've gotten better, but those stories... Yeesh. But I've written a few different genres, and I was wondering what genre you guys think I'm best at. Also, I was wondering HOW it is that I write according to you, since I'm obviously biased. Can I please get some bare fact opinion? Like, no sugar coating it. At all. Thank you, I appreciate this.

If you think YOUR stories are bad...
How do I have 9 likes and only one dislike...
First: FATWA: AWFUL. I corrected all of the mistakes, but it still didn't flow right. Girl, GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!!! Just rewrite all of the bad ones into totally new ones.
All writers think their first stories aren't all that great. I still think my first story (Frankenstallion Legacy) is pretty bad, but then my newer stories progressively got better. It's just a mental thing...do you follow?
For the time that you wrote your stories, they are always good, but when you write even better stories later on, those past stories fall under the shadow of the newer stories.
Analogy:
I still have a record player. I can listen to Frank Sinatra and still enjoy it the same as it is on my iPod. The quality of the sound doesn't matter, it's the content that matters...
It's not always the words, but the story...
2106987 ok, I think I follow. Thanks.

In simpler words (if my first words were confusing) - Your stories are all still great.
2107016 I get it now, thanks. But what style do you think I excel at?

Your story "Discorded" was really great and well written. You can use some of your structure from that.
There are a few things I suggest you use...
>Descriptive Details
>Engaging Dialogue (You're good at that)
It works for me, you may like it...
> Plan Ahead (pre-write the story in an outline form)
>Fill in gaps later (if you hit writers block - move on and come back to the block later)
These are just suggestions (that you probably don't need, but since you asked). You don't need to use them, but you can. Your stories are already great.
2107139 Thanks. In my opinion, I prefer sad oneshots, but I write multi chapter to see.
YOUR stories are bad? Mine are abominations. Aaaaanyway, don't worry about your first stories. Just write more and more and you'll grow and grow and learn and learn! :D
2108589 And hopefully bury them all!
2108771 Bury them? That won't do at all. If you want them gone that badly, disintegration is clearly the answer. And nukes. And maybe chainsaws. Aw, fuck it, all of the above!
2108831 I'll open the pocket dimension!
2108837 Excellent!
2110060 I've got the cake, fruits, and sugarcane juice
2110082 I've got the gel pens with which we will draw tally marks all over our arms (which I DID do today)
2110099 (Me too! I got a few weird looks. WELL I'M SAFE!
) I got the painkillers and an orbital nuke set to hit a country of our choice.
2110123 I got the meat cleavers
2110307 I gots da lava.
2110373 I gots da diamond sword, sword.
2111842 I got cake and cookies and sugarcane juice.
2112017 I got some sushi
2112437 Well, the sugarcane juice should keep us up... Wait, sushi?
2112443 what you don't like sushi? Me neither. It's just a fun word to say!
2112583 Hmm, I prefer to say chimi-cherry cherry-chonga.
2112589 what about PICKELBARREL PICKELBARREL PICKELBARREL
2112773 Oooh, thats a good one!
