Not everybody can crap out in 5 seconds like some artists do at their posts. I see that we have tons of experience at gotwoot about short story contests? or maybe we all are book editors, or even writers! How rare that just barely a dozen of the lots of best selling writers that lurk this place took part...

Too many PRO cirtics in my opinion. I find it unnecesary to give opinion words like: serious lack of effort, plainly suck, writers are morons, they crap out storys. And some other highly elaborated arguments.

This.


And I want the people who flame like a mofo (Xan) to post a story so I can arbritrarily decide whether or not their harsh and brutal opinions are worth anything! (Like Dark_Sage just did)
