Board Thread:General Wiki Discussion/@comment-4665292-20180620152634

I don't like how almost every time I post on the forums is to complain, but I have a question: why do people change the wording in stories or replace correct spellings with incorrect ones? I get that they have good intentions, but at least I get annoyed when people "improve" my stories... I mean, I know I often use "weird" words and sentences that may feel "tacky" or whatever, but whether something is "tacky" or "doesn't flow well", etc. is ultimately subjective.

Like, of course there are literary standards, but it's not like everything I write is full of misspellings and ungrammatical sentences. It's nice when actual misspellings are corrected, but changes to the wording or sentence structures in general? Why? When someone does that, the story no longer feels like it's mine; yeah, Creative Commons and this technically being a Wiki and all that, but still...

Does anyone else feel like this? Or am I just clingy over stories that no longer belong to me the second I post them here? How could I learn to accept even the changes that I think make my stories worse, and even begin to appreciate them like I know I should?

Sorry for ranting again...
