animeartistjoProlific 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).

Date: 2008-09-30 10:47 am (UTC)Which is why I ADORE Jeeves and Wooster fanfic. Only a very strong writer can take a shot at writing fic in that fandom! ^__________^ Also why I prefer Stargate Atlantis to HP right now--older, more educated audience. Most sci-fi fans know how to write. Smallville, my other fandom of choice, is a mixed bag.
Sorry for spamming you flist so much recently! XD

Date: 2008-09-30 01:51 pm (UTC)It's a generic term used by costumers, publishers, and, I think, fans who are focussed on that area of interest. Alas, my only fandom is HP, but my lovely friends who are deeply into Age of Sail recommend it to me highly.
And I know you're not talking about me because I am the anti-prolific ;-)

Also, you should totally read LM Griffin's Rant (http://www.noiresensus.com/authors/a_lmgriffin.html) if you haven't already done so.
