Prolific authors who CAN'T bloody write shouldn't be prolific

Prolific authors who CAN'T bloody write shouldn't be prolific. I keep on seeing these two names on my flist who can't write very well, but post in communities and post so often it just clutters my flist! Anyone know of a way I can specifically block people, whether they be in communities or not?

*headdesk* Why do they persist in posting crap examples of their work? Can they not tell, from reading well written examples, that their fiction could use vast improvement? I would be ashamed to have people read anything not written well! What's worse is that no one calls them up on it; just heaps and heaps on the praise, so of course they won't try to improve their writing! And when I comment with suggestions I feel like the harbinger of DOOM. Though it is funny because those great comments? Also poorly written. XDDD

I'm cranky because my Design 1 class has an annoying professor. I wish D.R., the original professor, was teaching it because while I've heard horror stories of his grading, this one? Wasted half the class time today with some pretty stupid activities. I learned NOTHING in the two hours of class. His name is Housefield, which took me approximately three minutes to remember, but he took ten minutes in class to use images and clever words to "help". *facepalm* Why, oh why, am I stuck in these freshmen classes this quarter? I sincerely hope that the seminar and DES 1 were terrible only because they were the first days and nothing really ever happens on the first day. But thank god for ENL 135 and my Spanish class.

Heh, about the frosh seminar, the teacher said we could bring our laptops. I think I will, but will I be prevented from typing if she's lecturing on stuff I already know? ^___________________^ <---evil grin Maybe if I move into the hallway so I can hear her, but the clicking of the keys won't distract too much?

Also, just googled my name, and its numerology is "If it wasn't bulls**t, it would mean that you are motivated by material success and have an aptitude for business, managerial and financial matters. This comes through your uncommon discipline and persistence." And, get this: my name's pretty uncommon. The site estimates that 25 out of approx 300 million Americans might have my name (first AND last).

D: The thing is, people can't tell if it their own work is good or not all the time. And a lot of the time, everything you do, from your own point of view sucks, but how can you get better if you don't put yourself out there to get crit?

And well, if I only posted things that I felt were very good examples of my work, I will have posted nothing. Or at least, very little.

D: My name is common too.

The only way I've found to avoid this is to scroll down madly; drives me mad. Seems to infest certain fandoms more than others. Hornblower fic is generally very high standard, Torchwood much less so.

I have to laugh, because I have the exact same problem in some of my fandoms. All the good authors are busy and all the really bad ones seem to be churning out CRAP by the bucket full.

I somehow doubt you're following my current fandoms though (unless you read Marvel comics).
