Dear writers, a plea from a reader

Dear Writers,

I have been a silent member of the forum, though I enjoyed being here at the same time I am fed up of the controversies on this forum.

I appreciate you all for giving your valuable time to the forum but you don't have right to criticize someone to no end. I agree you all spend the time to write stories to entertain readers but remember you are writing as it's your passion to write stories. Kindly remember you are not doing us a favor by writing your stories. So stop threatening us.

Being a writer here doesn't renown you as the winning author. Just because a few writers update twice a day that doesn't make them god or they are not almighty to treat the readers shit.

A special message to those writers who started the ritual of posting threatening threads every now & then

1. "Please if you want to quit, kindly quit. Don't put up a drama or scene.

2. "When you create a thread asking for an opinion, do learn to take negative criticism. If you can't take it then sweetie don't ask us

3. "Kindly do not open another thread next day like a jagat mata saying that the readers are begging you to continue so you are continuing. Because your ultimate motive is only to make the readers fall at your feet and beg. You were anyways going to continue. So stop with the goody two shoes lady act.

4. "If someone gives you negative criticism don't bash them in your next thread as they didn't fall at your feet.

5. Finally, don't say that this forum is my family and it is my right to ask my loyal readers. Please stop with this bullshit, because sweetheart, if they are your family then why threaten them in the first place.

6. Last but not least, learn English & grammar before writing stories. Your stories are recycled with the same old shit. Just because you write fiction that doesn't mean you write illogical & god damn things in the name of love.

Guys, there are very young people who visit this forum for entertainment. As a writer, it is your responsibility to teach some good things.

- There are writers who write the girl kisses the guy in the first instance in the name of love. And the girl shamelessly asks the guy to make her love in the second instance. A girl throwing herself at a guy who she doesn't even know in the name love is misguiding teenagers.

-I know a few of you won't agree to this, but guys the young lads will start learning, dreaming & understanding based on the fictional stories they read here. Kindly be responsible & reasonable with your content.

- I'm not saying that you are not supposed to write erotic scenes. Do write, but a few writers write the same shit from the first chapter of their story till the end. They will have this love making scene in every update of theirs. So kindly tell me, what would be the impression of the young girls who follow those writers?

- A few readers ask their favorite writers to update their favorite stories, a reasonable request if you ask me. But if they are not replying with long comments & if they don't comment first, the writers bash them unreasonably. This is so wrong. Reality check Writers, you do not own this forum.

- There are few writers who will read or comment other writers stories only if they comment on their stories. Are we doing cattle business here or we sharing our passion to read in this forum?

- Recently a writer was bashed or should I say bullied unreasonably by a cyber bully. Reality check sweetheart, the writer you claim that she copied her story from has also stolen ideas from other writers. Please check the previous plagiarism threads on her. The writer herself claimed that the idea was from other writer and the story is in her style. So next time, before you bash someone keep your facts straight.

- Just because a writer opens a thread to wish someone on their special day that doesn't mean that idea or that ritual belongs to that writer. Dear bully, why did you target that single writer alone? There are other writers who open and wish their readers on their special day. Why didn't you target them? Did you bully on your own or were you asked to bully by any very jealous and arrogant writer who thinks they own this forum?

-It's so lame that you people come up with demands from your readers, frankly, it should be their choice.

-This forum though is a good place, but bad at the same time. Most of the writers here have the habit of dominating others and demanding maximum out of them. I have been observing it's a trend now.

- Writers demanding specific count of likes and comments, a sane person doesn't do that. Why do you need to put forth a condition to entertain people here, it's frankly their choice; isn't it?

- Writers continuously threaten their readers about un-buddying them if they don't respond, well it isn't their loss, they just go with the flow, but even if you un-buddy they can still follow up with your updates. Since your readers respect you, you should do the same. You guys are no different from each other in general.

- The so-called writers here desire to dominate as if they own the whole damn place.

- The writers here aren't humble, they use abusive languages if things don't work out their way

- Few people here don't accept negative comments about their write-ups. Even the most successful people prefer taking an honest opinion from their public.

- Just for being proactive, the writers come up with rinse repeat tracks in their stories.

- People create new fake id's to bash other members here. Obviously, a sane person wouldn't get into it, it is always someone amongst us who come up with sarcastic contents just because the person holds some vigilance against the one at the receiving end.

- Recently few writers complained about getting no-nonsense PMs which complained them for not being regular writers like few are. As a member you should appreciate it, everyone isn't as free as few are here.

- Bashing threads, it's very common these days. Why a person comes up with such shitty topics. You are not entitled to mercilessly bash someone.

I have realized many have left this place, just because it isn't a healthy environment at all. I didn't intend to bash anyone here, the concerns have been very common and someone was supposed to take the initiative. It has to be started by someone, so I decided to address it.

I still appreciate all of your efforts but I was just trying to express my views here as a member.

P.S: This is not my new ID. I have been a silent reader for a long time. If you writers can't accept this criticism, then please don't call yourself a writer. I don't want to see another thread tomorrow by a writer faking sympathy because of my thread. THIS YHM FORUM IS SADLY OVER RATED & RULED BY A FEW WRITERS WHO DON'T EVEN KNOW TO WRITE ONE SENTENCE IN PROPER ENGLISH.

Hope to see a healthy discussion, if at all any positivity left in this forum.

See you all,

A frustrated reader.

Wow, I can't believe someone here actually stood up to state those unsaid facts about this forum. I completely agree with you, it is a public forum and people are here for their interest not for getting those uncalled for messages. But frankly speaking no reader would come up here, even though they agree. They are scared to instill reality check into all those who are flying high. Still I appreciate your efforts for putting your time into this.

The so called celebrity writers here doesn't hold minimum courtesy to thank their readers, infact they prefer complaining and threatening the entire people as if they can bring the world down.

And it's so stupid that few people intrude this space just to bash someone, may be they are asked to do so, or they pretend to be not so innocent in public forum.

Finally someone said it. Even I was taken aback by the kind of response I got when I tried to put forth my views about appealing for likes and comments from readers and threatening to discontinue stories if they dont get the desired response. I literally LOL-ed at that particular writer who said I have every right to demand as they are family and all. I cant even remember who that writer is now. I see no logic in that. I write because I want to write, if you show your appreciation then wonderful it is definitely encouraging but if you choose not to then fine by me.
The controversies are really frustrating you are right. I visit this forum expecting discussions but over here some members have their own drama going on in full force. As for the bashing and cyber-bullying, I will not tolerate it one bit.

I have no issues with whatever storyline and grammar problems the writers have as I understand that not all of us here are good in language but like to write anyways so I would instead encourage these people to write (and read) more so that overtime we can all improve our language.

Thanks for opening this much needed thread my friend. Your opinions are much appreciated.

Actually this is thread i loved the most.You have done a amazing job by initiating this.Even i felt so kiddish when everyone started demanding likes and comments.This is not a nice thing to do.They are giving some nice stories and they do have very good talent but expecting is not at all nice.Expectation leads to dissappointment.i don't want to be rude sorry if i hurt anyone but this is the reality and as writer you should try to accept and appreciate everyone's comment and you should not see the length of their comment.because everyone will not be good at showing their pov and they are different And seriously don't bash other just because you don't like them.I know i don't have any right to say about you author as you are not getting any salary for this but still stop comparing yourself with other felllow writers and their likes its really silly.if you are interested you can write even if single soul is ready to write.Please do respect your readers some people are really making them to beg.this is the one point which i hate in this forum.And please respect your readers emotions and don't use it against them.WRITERS PLEASE DO WRITE SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND MAKE THE LEAD TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS PRACTICALLY BECAUSE EVERYTHING WILL NOT END IN ONE LOVE MAKING SCENE AND CONFESSING SCENE.SO AT TIMES WRITE THE THINGS WE DO PRACTICALLY WHICH MAY HELP THE READERS TO ANALYSE THINGS IN THEIR LIFE BECAUSE THIS FORUM IS PRACTICALLY USED BY TEENAGERS SO THEY DO NEED TO SELECT THE RIGHT PATH SO HELP THEM TO SELECT THE right PATH THROUGH YOUR STORIES
Here i rest my case
My sincere thanks to the topic maker i loved this post very much and ur pov is simply amazing and i agree with your thoughts
Ps: i never meant to hurt anyone so sorry if this post did but whatever i said is true to my heart

Thank you so much dear for standing by my points. I am glad I am not the only one who feels this about this place.
I was just here to express my views, and instill some reality check but I feel you were so right in saying that this thread would be witnessing dreaded silence as people aren't ready to speak up their points.

Thank you for replying. I'm so surprised to see people are replying to this thread.
Regarding grammer mistakes even I would encourage someone to improve. But dear, you can take a horse to the pond but you can't make it drink. Can you?
When the writer accept nothing less than praises for her story then how will you give feedback. When you get bashed if you so breathe or try to give your honest opinion. How are we supposed to encourage or motivate?
Let's take your case as an example, the other day you commented on a writers thread when she asked for an opinion. What was the result? The next day She opened an thread and bashed you mercilessly and made the readers bash you too.
To be honest, it was her who asked for her opinion. You didn't come forward to give your opinion on your own. But the writers here will accept nothing less than pleading or begging. They tagged you as a jealous person and I'm sure you wouldn't have even read her work.
Sometimes make me wonder if they are really writers or running mafia gang who is ready to bully a person who so breathes against them.

Nobody replying to this thread confirms that readers are scared to come out in open to support. But I'm happy atleast I made my point.

Thank you dear for supporting us.
I have been tolerating this for a long time then I finally realized enough is enough.
I was sure when I created this thread no one will come forward to accept the fact about the writers as they are so scared.
I agree that writers are not getting paid for writing stories, but dear we didn't ask them to write 20 or 30 stories. Did we?
We didn't ask them to come up with new stories. They are writing it as they want to write it and threatening the readers to comment & like is atrocious.
They open thread to ask opinions, but you can't expect everyone to replying in their favor. It's an open thread and everyone has their right to express their opinion. If you don't like negative comments then open your own blog, but bashing & bullying the reader who gave an honest opinion is nothing but sadistic.
Women are much more stronger these days. There are more to women than pouting, whining & asking their man to praise their beauty. I wish stories are different & practical in this forum.
Fairytales are not real and it was never real. A girl can dream, but reality is different.
Yes, these are fictional stories, but it would be great if it has atleast 10% of reality.

Thanks dear for supporting us.
I agree, even my question is why did they target her alone for opening a thread?
I have seen many writers open thread or writing a new stories to congratulate their buddies. Why not them?
Bullying is not acceptable.
