See, that's the thing about it. Most of us have been members of this archive for years, and we are very set in what we like or don't like.
Yes, the HP archive is very harsh and critical, mostly because we see and deal with a large amount of almost illiterate writers that throw a bitch-fit because their stories are rated into the negatives.
For almost every page in the past 4 years, you'll see at least one negatively rated story. Some of those writers have stepped up and become extremely high rated, others complain to the Admins and get told to get over it, and yet others quit writing here and go to ff.net.
We're a sink or swim type of archive, and we're proud of the fact that a positively rated story is usually worth reading whereas a negatively rated story is usually rated that way for a reason. Most of us at least glance through the negative stories, and if we disagree, we rate that story up.
I just finished glancing through both your HP and Naruto stories, and I don't disagree with the ratings, so I left them as is. I apologize if you don't understand or agree with our stance, but it is what it is.
If you want to improve, take the criticism to heart, if not, post your stories elsewhere.
Author's response
I am. Damn. I feel like a loser. Throwing a bitch fit wasn't worth it. I honestly don't feel welcome here. So I guess I'm just gonna leave.
When I posted "Way of the Fists" I wanted to write something different but, I get the feeling from most users on here that I'm not very welcome here.
The reason I came on here was because, my site that I used no longer exists.
I love wiriting and it hurts me to know that I'm not welcomed here. Which sucks.
I can see now that I didn't really belong here or that I don't fit in to any "clicks" on here. Yes, my wiritng's different and yes, I know all my stories suck but, right now it's the only thing that's keeping me together. I never expected to be so hated on here just because of my stories or my bitch fit (which I deeply apologize for) but, I can see I'm not welcome here. So, I guess I'll delete my account in a few days.
I guess I never belonged here anyways. Thank you guys for showing me how bad of a writer I am but, that's not going to stop me. I have a few friends who like "Way of the Fists" so, I will continue to write for them.
