Why should anybody be so flustered at a website and people they assume are one way but may be another. I feel our frustration and it is well lined out. Expressing is great.

Oh wow! You are such a fabulous writer! You said it, it must be true!
Dear God in Heaven...thank you that this writer does not enter contests
anymore...We all would have no hope! A junior writer would beat us all!!!
OMG! I can't wait until you make your shocking revelation! I'm dying of
curiosity! My goodness you are all over the place here and long winded too.
Can you toot your own horn any louder and put down the rest any more???
Just checking. Be assured you don't have my vote and have me making a bland
exit from site....ASAP!!!

Comment from Muffins
I laughed, nodded my head in agreement, and shook my head is disbelief in what you went through because you had the nerve to win a few contest. Another writer on this site, Dean Kuch, deals with the same problem, but he brushes it off. It's the few crybabies that can make a fun site a pain in the ass with their whining. It's like you said,"Aren't we just a bunch of writers who want to hang out with other writers and write stuff?"
I joined this site to take advantage of all the free knowledge from the professionals on this site. I want to improve my writing and like you I'm not going any where.
Good luck with the contest. I smell a winner here, so get ready for the haters.

So pleased you enjoyed. This is still a great place. But lots to rant about. Yep, Dean's in the same boat, the captain as it were. HAHAHA! It is just a few, but they are a pain.
Thanks a bunch. :))

Right on brother. I hear you loud and clear!!
I've been laying low as I'm over the reviewing process
and reading nonsense. Reading your FanStory thoughts is a breath of fresh air. Thank you ð??? ~DD

Comment from mfowler
Hey, M. You are usually so sunny and positive that this vehement reaction to Fanstory caught me by surprise. I must be living with my head in the sand as I've rarely encountered the kind of viciousness you describe. I'm probably criticized all over the place but apart from some low grade reviews from newbies and cranky old farts, the majority of people here seem lied honest triers. If, and I have no reason to disbelieve you, these cheats and cockroaches are around, 'Fucking' is the appropriate word to express your angst. I'm in total agreeance on the concept of 'Honour'. It implies respect for self and others, a fundamental element of success in social communion. In a virtual environment like this, achieving this does take people like Brooke and Gungalo to lead the way. Their generous and gracious leadership was organic and never chosen. Quality writers and great people show us what this can mean. I was thrilled with your article if a little concerned about what I don't see. I hope your article makes a difference.

Thanks, Mark.
I like to blow off some steam from time to time. HAHAHA!
Lots of nonsense here and most of it no consequence in the grand scheme I suppose. I just wish people would pay more attention. But, perhaps I should pay less. LOL
Sometimes these articles make a little difference, sometimes none at all. I usually feel better, so there's that. Thanks a million. Mr. Anon. :))
Comment from Spitfire
You would think it mattered to Tom that FS is no longer acknowledged as one of 101 best writing sites. Your examples are the reason. I stopped writing plays when one member last year made a mockery out of this skill with talking planets. Real short and enough money gave readers incentive. I think he placed in the top five. Whatever.
Some post jokes in a story or poem format. No originality. Why doesn't the contest committee weed this out. The members of said committee are no better than others.
Your voice comes through. I can guess the author. No one's going to mess with you. Too bad a few rotten apples make FS a sham sometimes.

It's disappointing that Tom wouldn't be more interested, but equally so that the membership who could easily nip any of this in the bud isn't interested either. I'm not surprised at the example you give. It just shocks some of the stuff that passes around here as just fine with everyone in general. Jeesh. I've been beat in contests by these recycled jokes. It's site policy that they're okay. So it isn't us or the committee, it's the site itself. I'm still mad about a contest from two years ago. LOL
Well, there's still some great people here, we just find them and huddle together. :))

Hey, lucky you. I don't remember what happened a week ago, let alone two years. :-)
Winning entries sometimes shock me. I'm getting good at voting for losers. Sigh...
Comment from Lovinia
Hi Mystery Writer
WOW! I wish I could be as succinct as this. You've managed to give a BLAST OUT and remain honourable and respectful ... well, except to the dishonourable, two-faced monkeys who swing out here. I agree with ALL of this! Outspoken, but well penned.
I've become pretty passive, except in responses to writings such as this. It used to bother me, and I've been focus of the odd back-stabbing ... water off a duck's back now. I can't physically or mentally be here more than I am at the moment. I'm always behind, but do try to keep up with those who faithfully review me consistently and through the four years (nearly five) I've been here.
I guess I can't review enough these days for the high dollars, so I find it rare I receive a review for the money and not bothering to read ... though when I did pay high, I've received THOSE kind of reviews.... I agree cheaters/thieves, of course I see them when I read reviews of others. I avoid the 'spiters' as not worth the limited time I already have here...
I had to stop reviewing one of my favourite writers (some time ago) because, while I was 'charmed' for my reviews, I couldn't believe some of the reviews I read by this person. One in particular to a writer whose stories were faves of mine. I do find some reviews which are blunt and could be worded more considerately ... what can I say, I do explain their criticism can be very hard, especially for the more vulnerable beginner writers. Fortunately, some of these have left the site. I'm appalled though, that some fine people and excellent writers have left because of the bullying and lack of respect. I do see some people 'go off their heads' about a trivial misunderstanding ... language differences, to me, in many cases.
You've well expressed your chagrin and frustration and downright anger and disapproval of some of what goes on here. Once again, I had to stop reviewing a 'good' friend, (I thought) because they were plagiarising to move up the rankings. They were suspended for two weeks (from memory) ... I guess Tom does run this site as a business and he can get caught between a rock and a hard place. We all have freedom of speech, and we can't agree all the time.
Oh BLAH BLAH! I rave on, and really, I should have an entry in this contest... or post in protest. I'm pleased to read this and see someone who has the courage to let it all out! I can't see how anyone, except the 'guilty' who would take any offence to your essay, though some may not agree with everything you say as they haven't experienced the waffle that goes on. I don't find anything obnoxious here ... and I turned my sound switch down. LOL So pleased you're not leaving, and remain, we all need to hear what you have to say ... I do hate to see persecution of those who stand up for human rights with compassion and empathy, speak from the heart, make a stand against injustice. I'll be reading your reviews after the contest is over ... I hope NOT to read any bull shit. A great entry for the contest ... I so hope this WINS! Just remember, my vote can be bought for chocolate, or smooching up to my ego. Now, XXXXX ... message me. Hee Hee! Warmest regards - Lovinia xoxo WISH I HAD A SIX! ... oh, I know they don't matter ... :)))

Chocolate? hmm. I had bigger plans. That can easily be arranged. A women of your loveliness obviously needs no smooching up to the ego. A simple pointing out of your incredible assets one by one should suffice to remind you of just how unique and alluring you are. :))
Comment from I am Cat
I guess I have no idea what this is about, mostly because there are people I've muted, ones who I thought were completely obnoxious.
(Namely one)
It keeps the riff raff and negative energy away.
Other than that, I've no idea what this is about.
But you're right, there is so much that's wrong, and I for one, am not sure I can deal with it all right now. I have a wedding to plan.
Take care of yourself and good luck in the contest, whatever it's about.
As always, a well written and entertaining read.

I don't even need a topic. I have a button that nearly needs pressing and I commence to a blatherin' and a sputterin' 'bout dis, dat and da other. Then I collect the fake money and spend it on my fantasy dates.
"Cat Comment Written 03-Jun-2016 by I am Cat" That's funny, it says "Cat Comment". All the others just say "Comment". I don't know why, but that just amuses the hell out of my pea brain. :))
Comment from Bill Schott
That was quite a fucking rant. I'm sure most of the bed wetters were impressed with your command of the obvious. I really like this site, which like any and every business, club, or circle jerk has its share of cocksuckers, motherfuckers, and naughty Nigels who give us reasons to pout. I love to write and I love to write for people. I'll never be famous or even known, but I can be ego-stroked a bit for what it's worth. I like an occasional contest, but can't compete with folks who have two hundred fans. When I can get three writers, who I think are great and are willing to respond even when my shit is only worth two cents (and that's more than its really worth), I feel like I've accomplished something. I agree with you that there is no place like Fanstory.

Comment from Ulla
Hi there, mystery author, You are expressing what a lot of us are thinking and saying. This was a great site when I joined which is not that long ago really. The very end of 2014. But since then the site has deteriorated, which is reflected in so many good writers leaving. I agree with most of what you are saying and that's why I'm still here. I have learned a lot while being here, and the support has been incredible and still is. I write and then sit and watch. I hope we'll get back to how it was. We are all here to learn and expand. Good luck in the contest. All the best. Ulla:))

Hi there, Ulla
Yeah, I see the same thing you are saying. Well, I guess we just weather the storm. I imagine it goes like this when some extra loud and obnoxious people make some noise. The best people are still here and we take care of each other.. As long as we do that we'll be okay. But it STILL makes us pretty mad, yes? Thanks so much. :))
