Board Thread:General Wiki Discussion/@comment-27080023-20151112225632

I posted a story and it was deleted. Fair enough, for whatever reason it was not good enough. I do not know how to ask why it wasn't good enough and I would like to know because I felt that it was quite good, but I understand that what I think is good may not be the same as what others do. Anyway, that is not my issue (although any advice on how to ask the admin that delete it why it was not good enough would be appreciated so I can improve my writing).

Anyway, I posted my story several weeks ago on the workshop board and only had one reply. One. I was disappointed to say the least but I took on board the adice given to me by this person. I re wrote the story and extremely pleased with it I re posted it (within the original post) for more opinions before I submitted it to the site. Guess what? Nothing. Not one single reply. Absolutely nothing.

And I had taken so much time making sure the punctuaton and grammer were good. I had gone over and over it. So I assume that the story is just "pants" and unoriginal, which I guess it must be, but my telling of it is not, no one tells it the same way that I do.

My point is, as so many people are referred to that board, it would be very helpful if more people could actually give their opinions. If I had had some decent feedback I would not have bothered submitting a story that I spent hours and hours on only for it to be cast aside like it was nothing. Maybe I am a bad writer, who knows, but people on that board could have told me before I wasted my own time or at least given me some pointers.

I know that no one can predict who will reply to these posts on this board, but I do personally feel that admin should read all the offerings on there and give their blunt and honest opinion.

Thank you.
