User blog comment:ImGonnaBeThatGuy/5 Hilariously Bad Creepypasta/@comment-24351109-20140204225446/@comment-10950063-20140204234746

I won't be doing this weekly. I don't even know if I'll do it again.

The thing is, I read a lot of really bad stories. A lot. And after awhile it starts to get to me. I needed to blow off steam. This isn't about making fun of the authors. With the exception of JC-the-Hyena, the author of Sonic.exe (who, by the way, is at least 20-years-old), I don't make fun of the writer, I make fun of the work. I suppose you could say that saying children are idiots is making fun of the writer, but I don't see it that way. I see it as making fun of all children, everywhere.

For three of these, I left genuine criticism in the comments or on talk pages. For two of them, those comments disappeared when they got moved to trollpasta, but the accounts were long inactive.

I don't want to discourage new writers, but we do have a huge problem with people just posting anything without editing, understanding how to tell a story, knowing proper grammar or even trying to discern if it's good or not. That's not a good habit, that's not writing. If this does discourage any one, I hope it discourages them from not trying at all.
