Well-said, mate.

Yeah, I saw that the guy posting his story expected compliments.

"When you throw yourself on the mercy of a court of internet members who have no emotional ties to you, who have no form of implied obligation to be nice to you, then you have to just roll the dice and hope you produced something good that people will rave about."

^ Can I steal this quote? :P I have to deal with people on other sites too, and this is a pretty concise version of what I try to tell them.

"He should have known that his story was far from complete. The concept was...well, damn it, I have to use my own term here...cliché. The character development was non-existent, and the monster wasn't scary, mainly because not once did he describe it."

I couldn't even get through the first three paragraphs before I started laughing, and then it was a struggle to continue. I have ADD, so naturally my mind wandered off in another direction and I quit somewhere between "pls reviews" and "omg monstor."
