Totally agree with the thread. Our standards of quality here are what separates us from the other fiction sites, where any poorly conceived story can safely sit, stinking up the place.

This site probably has more rules that are enforced consistently than any other place on the net. To me, that's a good thing.

I can take so much more pride in the work that I have published here, because I know that it went through some degree of scrutiny before it was allowed to remain. Really, that's like automatic positive feedback right there.

Sure, you can go and write on DeviantArt or fanfiction.net, but how much pride can you really take in your work when it's sitting next to something like 'Pinky the Ghost Marries Pac-Man' or some other such drivel.

I don't always agree with the way some things are done here, and you can check back on my blog comments from other threads to see that I have no problem calling out policy or practices that I think are tactless, unfair or biased.

However, at the end, I would never ask that we lower our quality standards. Our standards are what defines us, what makes us the premier horror fiction site around. I'll take a few harsh reviews in order to maintain our place at the top.
