For the most part, I agree with you. I simple pass by the poems that are angry, vulgar, ugly or mean and rude. I think you have given good advice to new comers to FS.

Well done.
Blessings
Janet

I joined FanStory 2 months ago and this is excellent advice! Writing is uplifting and it should always present a message. Once again, very inspirational. I appreciate it. Cheers

It's nice to hear kind words of 'teaching' and insight. Your free-form poem (I think that's what it is called???) flows well through thought and intent. A good reminder, Sir.

you are right on, but don't give the angry writer any options besides don't do it. I would love to teach the 'young turks' --- sarcasm, damning by faint praise, embellishment, sardonic exaggeration and cognitive ridicule. so many ways, so many veils. but they won't listen, Vance. waddayagunnado?................meeshu

Being an older member, I don't know if I'd even consider myself an author on Fan Story, but I have a suggestion for you concerning your tips. For me, if you could space and number each tip, it would make it easier to read and take in your information. I'm sure they are all good tips, it's just that they're too crammed together to read. Best wishes.

I agree writers should lift yup the spirits of their readers. But is also our sacred duty to awaken the readers from lethargy. If it will take to jolt them up a bit, to shake them up from lethargy, then we must do so. Thanks for sharing.

This is a clever piece; Is it prose? Is it poetry? In any case, it is a piece of writing that contains good advice for new writers, and it is welcomed advice, I might add. I am impressed by what appears to be the lack of grammatical errors. One thought, though: old eyes like mine have some difficulty reading dark letters on a semi-dark background. Excellent work.
