A little heads-up

[Holy War]

I understand a lot of you may be busy and what have you, but I also notice my writing in the writing area of the forum is getting a lot of views and not a whole lot of replies. I have read and replied to others work and see it only as common courtesy for the same in return. I figure this is a very calm and subtle little heads up and I mean no offence to anyone by this, but I don't post my writing for it to be just looked at I like comments on the work too and it's a plus if you can give some serious critiques to me.

[Victim]

First off, sorry you aren't getting the responses you were looking for.

Second, you have to realize that most of the views could have been come from bots or guests visiting the site who cannot post

Third, thank you taking your time reading others writings I am sure they appreciate you doing that.

Fourth, I am sorry, but I myself have never red them, because you said you wanted serious critiques. I cannot give you that, because I know nothing about writing. I will read them if you would like, but I don't know how "serious' and "critiquing" my responses will be, because like I afore mentioned, i know nothing about writing. And others might feel the same way i do, which is why they haven't posted anything.

 

I hope this helps you understand a little bit better about why there might be so many views and so few responses

I agree that the Writer's Corner doesn't get the most attention...Thats why you need to really get into these forums, and meet people who will read your work, that's what i ahve been triying to do

[Holy War]

I don't care if you give serious critique or not, it would just be nice for the writing in that section to get recognized (not only mine) aside from the few that do at this time. I understand not everyone here is probably going to be as critical with writing as I am, but it would be nice for the writers here to get the notoriety based off their work. I also find it difficult to get into a forum if the forum shows little to no interest in me, but I will try.

 

Thank you for your insight and comments, I'm just trying to get the word out for the writers.

LPF has evolved to a more music/sigs forums, its the way it is. sure anybody can post "thats nice, good song/poem" but what is that going to help you? i mean i know NOTHING about lyrics and poems so i wont be able to help not even a little.

LPF used to be alot into lyrics and poems but all the members that were into that have left cause of lost of interest in LP or getting too busy, the point is the writers corner just aint the same.

nothing we can do about it

sure anybody can post "thats nice, good song/poem" but what is that going to help you?

I agree with that.

Plus prolly a lot of us active peeps are too lazy (the best example is Jos aka myself) to read big texts and then jsut post like "oh yeh nice" which in the end can't help you anyways much

If you really want ppl to read your lyrics/poems then you might should look for a lyric/poem forum

[Holy War]

Why is on the forum then? Shouldn't it just be done away with? I see at least a dozen replies in that forum a day, which shows that it does get used. I am apart of a lyric/poem forum, but I thought I would share with the LP fans as I started with the LP community boards so why not? The LP community boards went to the shitter because no one replied to anything, I was established there with over 3,000 posts so people replied to my work but I was the only one replying to the new-comers work. If you can't think anything more than a one-liner then just put down the one-liner, I'm sure people will be happy just for the fact that you took the time to read it.

Chill, bro. People will comment. It may take a while, but someone will read and have something to say.

Yea Ive kinda felt sorry for ya'll in that room.

I understand your annoyance, but yea do chill. Because first off to get noticed you need to spread yourself around each forum room, and get known, and then people will begin to notice your regular threads. I also suggests starting a journal.

What you have to realize is this is not a professional forum by any means. Most people here just communicate with each other and have fun. It's a forum big on games and news and speculation.

We do have the "sig of the week" and the "lpf sessions" but those are pretty big projects for us.

 

I would love to read everyone's work in the writing thread. (I myself have posted some things there) but I simply don't have the time, and in order to be fair, I don't comment on one just because I know the person. That's not fair. So I don't really bother with it. It's not a good thing, by any means, I'm just trying to be fair.

 

I understand it's frustrating not to get as good of critique as you dish out, I know how that feels. But most people here won't do that. Very few people will go in-depth with their comments.

And a lot of people will get offended if you do (which is not cool).

 

My advice, and I don't mean to be rude, is that you find a more appropriate forum to share your writing with. There are plenty of communities that will give much better feedback than this one.

 

(http://deviantart.com/literature/ , http://www.writersintouch.com/ ,http://www.fictionpress.com/) and lots more

 

I'm not saying it's right though. We do need to learn to explore other peoples' work regardless if you are friends with that person or not.

 

On the other hand, it's not exactly fair for you to be so selfish. There are hundreds of other threads people made in the writer's corner who received just as little feedback as you.

Also, you should have checked out the forum a little more before you assumed us to be so prolific in the literary area.

oh honestly, who gives a shit, chill out,this is a MUSIC forum, not all of us are going to have the time to read, and if we do, so what if we dont reply? is it such a crime? if YOU take time out to reply to others, GOOD FOR YOU, dont expect everything to be reciprocated to you, like giving moiney to charity, you expect the charity to buy you a new car?

 

oh, and put it this way, i DO go and rad some of the stuff in writers corner, some of its really good, and some of it..."if you aint got anything nice to say,say NOTHING at all", so tehres MY reason for not replying sometimes

[Holy War]

I was a member of Deviantart back a couple years ago, don't go there as much anymore. Also was a member of fictionpress, again don't go there much anymore. The point isn't that writers can get replies on other forums, if that was the case then I'm sure a lot wouldn't be posting their work here the point is to share the work with like-minded individuals and get responses on the work even if it may be a one-liner. Quite frankly most of you seem nice aside from the occasional child who's pants are too big, and I would like to continue writing here but it would be nice for the writers here to get some replies to their work albeit a one-liner. Don't think I'm posting this just for my sake I know how it is when you start fresh in most forums been there done that with LPC, all I am saying is there are a lot of good writers that aren't getting any feedback or one-liners. Hazi, when you learn to write in proper english I will care more about your useless posts.

[twilightcrimson7]

I understand. I had a feeling you'd have heard of most of those...

I really do regret not being able to view more peoples' works... but I'll keep that in mind for the future.

[azemkamikaze03]

Take it from me. You have to an establish yourself as a member before a writer. I am a writer just like you...and that is how I did it.

[Victim]

Yeah, but when you joined, it was always still very much a writing forum.. Not its not so much.

[HaziLPTonz]

i still say hes over cooking it, if people want to go read and comment, thas COMPLETELY up to them, its called choice, dont go shoving it down our throats just because your work isnt recieving the "attention" you think it should be, if we like, we comment, its the same as if members post up remix tracks or music., it shouldnt be any different to now just because you brought this up.

 

keep in mind...MUSIC forum,Linkin Park are a BAND of MUSICIANS, not poets. im OH SO against people who think they're upperclass,"when you learn to speak proper english", oh please, making yourself seem higher than others here just because you type with capitol letters and full stops doesnt give you the right to diss others, maybe had you a)been an established member, and b) been a lil more forthright and POLITE, maybe people would go over and read and post. you cant ask something of someone, then when an opinion goes against you shove it back down their throats

[LP_Soldier]

I completely agree with Hazi. Perhaps if you asked politely if anyone would be willing to read your stuff and give you feedback, then people might have done it for you. But you've overreacted and now this turned into a huge argument over nothing. Also, everyone makes typos, that's a given. It doesn't mean that they can't speak proper english. So, how about being a little more mature about the way you speak and handle certain situations, and then everyone can get along.

Yep, because I kicked off the being an asshole part...

[UnhingedMouse0]

Its not our fault that your work isnt being read and or commented upon, its probably that you are doing something wrong, possibly posting in the wrong place, or going about things in the wrong way, lets see, shall we? First off, this is a MUSIC forum, you cant expect tons of people here to be interested in writing. Like others said beforehand, you should go somewhere where writing is the focus. You did not get many replies there either you say? Well maybe you did not involve yourself in the community enough. That brings me to my second point. You had 15 posts at the time of making this thread. How can you expect to have people read your work if they dont even know you? If you dont contribute elsewhere in the forum and just sit in your little corner, no one will become familliar with you and no one will care about what you do. We are a community and those who dont make the effort to get into it are simply ignored. Also, being rude to someone simply because you dont like thier typing or writing style is pathetic and its not an accurate judge of maturity. What shows maturity is the way you conduct yourself and maybe that is why you never fit in to any other communities and are also having issues here. I really dont know, but we are trying to help you out here by giving you useful information but Im not seeing any effort on your part to use that information.

 

Oh, and your last post made aboslutely no sense.
