About authors.

So, this entire post is dedicated to writers out there. Well, not all but if you're one, you need to change your attitude. What kind? I'll explain.

I dislike and hate it when certain authors who aren't good enough themselves, put some other writers or authors down when especially, they're not good at certain language, still new in writing or, has some grammar mistakes. We're all human and we still need to learn okay? It's not like you're born with it. Everyone still has to start from the scratch and slowly build it up.

It frustrates me that there are some arrogant people out there. No, no one said that about me or put me down. But yes, I am being sensitive when I saw some certain author put other's works down, calling it as 'rubbish' or 'too much things going on that is nonsense'. I may or may not feel that it is me, no. I am not saying it's me because I believe I am not that good but I am not like what he/she says. Though I was once bad till I don't even know where to hide my face. But, readers encouraged me and I got strength from them.

However, I have some friends who are writers and authors too. And, I know, either, their way of writing ain't that good, not good in certain language and has just started writing. In other words, a newbie. I don't put them down. If you feel you can't read something or find it irritating that they even bother to put it up, simple.

1. Click away from that page, don't see or best, don't even bother about them.

or

2. Try and help them. I am sure they're willing to listen and improve. 

Just because a lot of people have praised you, that doesn't mean there aren't any haters or dislikers too. People who have rose from the bottom and became arrogant is ignorant and annoying. You may have more subscribers than others but it doesn't mean you have to put people down for your own benefit. A writer with stinky attitude, it's a turn off.

The reason why it's on a web and not on books is because we're free to do anything and everything we want. We enjoy what we do and like seeing others enjoy what we worked hard for. If you think you can't put up with such stories here, leave and start reading stories then. You should know some fanfics isn't on high level of professionalism. The standards you're looking for are on story books.

Why I wrote this post is because I stumbled into a author that was full of herself, putting others down just to let herself seem better. The next time I come across a author or writer like this, I'll mention your username with no hesitation. I won't be humiliating you but I'll just put,

'_______, hypocrite.'

That's all. So I hope you'll see this post and reflect on it, whoever you are, you should know by now, I made it enough obvious. Though, I won't know if you're even clicking away.

For people who read this, it's just my ranting and I know some of you may or may not disagree but it's just my opinion. Anyway, I am still trying on my skills x.x GAHH, I hope I won't be disappointing my readers D:

Lastly, I'll end with this.

Super agree!

I sincerely hate this kind of people.

I mean I'm writer myself and I write just for fun and to share it and make other people happy. But also to make myself happy and make friends.

I didn't write to satisfy someone who thinks people should write like author's in books.

I've stumbled many authors like you've mentioned before. I don't really care what they think. Their just wasting their time ranting.

Also for newbies it's fine when your fanfics are not perfect in grammars or anything. For me it doesn't really matter because my fanfic itself is so not perfect, it has so many grammatical errors. Thats because I don't even bother proof reading or making my chapters perfect because of laziness, All i know is I need to update for my readers .

So yeah. Question?

Can you PM the username of the author you talked about? I'm curious about her. I promise not to leak or reveal her. Pretty please ^_^ :)
