Most people who try to write don't realize that the sheer amount of material out there means that someone reading their work is the equivalent of a stranger doing them a favour. They're so commited to the idea that their work is meaningful that they genuinely think they're contributing to the world but they're not. They're just adding another 2000 words to the massive pile of steaming mediocrity that dominates unpublished writing. When someone reads your work you should be fucking grateful.

The basic fact of the matter is - there's so much shit on the internet that if you want your story to be read then pull your finger out and learn to write better. A wikia like this one that outright states the standards expected of you is a golden opportunity, but better still this wikia has a fantastic community of committed individuals who will go all out and offer you feedback on how to improve. This is the sort of experience people pay for in creative writing classes at universities. Not only will this loose collective of strangers take the time out to explicitly state in a simple list form (just to keep it simple) what you need to do to meet their totally reasonable standards (a luxury the real world will not afford you) but they actually take the time out of their day to point you in the right direction with detailed and personalised feedback and all you can do is whine that they're willing to put more work into your own writing than you are!

And to top it all off you post a blog post telling us that your writing is being posted elsewhere because of the 'oppression'. To me this sums the issue up. You clearly think your doing us a favour when you sit down in front of your computer - trust me, when people read your work, they're doing you the favour. If you can't be bothered to take the time out and improve so that your writing meets the - frankly - fucking low standards this wikia has then, as far as I'm concerned you've displayed nothing but the most shameful arrogance and contempt for a community of people who regularly work their nuts off to help people who can't even be fucking bothered to re-read their own God damned stories.
