Talk:Jeff the Killer/@comment-25558572-20140521190712

Why is this such a famous story? I'm going to be completely honest: ''this is terrible. ''No disrespect to the author, but I was sorely disappointed by what I expected to be a worthwile read, Here's the list of flaws I found with it.

1. Numerous formatting errors that made it diificult to read in places. What stood out the most to me was the lack of identing between speakers.

2. Eratically switiching tenses with no transtitions.

3. Very weak language overall, basic vocabulary.

4. Extremely weak characters. The plot was not too bad, but was not executed well.

5. Story is a little too long for my liking. It could have been shortened considerably.

In short, I thought this story had some potential to be frightening, but the technical errors, lack of character development, bland language, and hurried feeling killed the appeal. This story sticks out to me as an example of why people on this site have good ideas in many situations, but need to spend more time on editing and refining their work. And finally, in the nicest way possible, this story  just does not deserve the overwhelming popularity it has attained.
