Nerdette: I'm going to go ahead and transfer to my other account. This one won't be closed, it will still be here so that everyone can read this message. But my new account can be found at: www.fanstory.com/janis_morris

I hope that everyone will follow that account. This subscription will end at the end of next month since it already got paid for. Dx.. (: But I will continue posting on my other account. And I'm going to see if I can re post some of my work there. At least just the story I have been working on. Hopefully I won't even have to move it and the site will let me keep all of my work here. (:
    Border Reiver: Hi, Check with Tom. I think there is a rule about people having multiple accounts. You may have to close this one completely. -
    Nerdette: Well, I wouldn't be using this one at all. I would just keep it open so that people can see this message and allow them to go to my other account. After I am done saving all of my work, I don't plan on using this one at all and will close it. Also, I'm not going to enter in any contests that I have already entered in. That would just be unfair. -
    redrider6612: Did you check with Tom? There is a way you can change your user name without going through all the hassle of opening a new account. Lady & Louis changed her name and a couple other people have too. -
    Nerdette: I know...but it wasn't a hassle. It was actually far easier just to go ahead and make the account rather than wait and wait for a response and then change it lol. XD besides...unfortunately the time you told me that I could change my name...I had already made the account...so I was like...well w.e. lol. -
    redrider6612: Well, I was thinking about the fact that you can't repost your stories unless Tom will move them over to the new account for you. If you remember, when you post something, you have to mark the statement that you swear the piece is a new one. -
    Nerdette: lol. Then I will edit one or two words. And hey...you know what... XD its not like he is going to peresonally police every single thing. And I'm probably only going to repost my story so that I can continue it...thats all. And I will edit it majorly before I do so..so that it will be new lol -


Nerdette: I am really amazed by how rude some people can be. I mean really...do they not look at what they are writing and how it will come across to someone? I love honest reviews...love them because it helps me grow. But be effing polite. There is no excuse..and you can't just say, "I was being blunt."... no.

THIS is being blunt: I really think that you could do a lot better.

This is being rude (an actual review I just got):

"Re-edit and edit 3 times. There are incomplete sentences, unspeakable for a writer."

and the rest of the review was just so condescending. I really don't think the guy had a clue on what he was talking about (though he did manage to add one actual helpful bit of advice in there...amazing enough.)

Those "incomplete sentences" were phrases meant to emphasize the previous sentence.

Gosh...and I hate not being able to just say it and explain it and tell the guy what an a-hole he just made himself sound like.

I really wish I could tell you everything that was said..but it will do no good. It was just the rudest review I have ever been given.
    shelley kaye: found it ;) yea that was very rude. my suggestion is to copy and paste the review and pm tom.
    -
    Nerdette: No lol. It's okay. I'm already over it though I was about to give him abpiece of my mind haha -
    Daylok: Well lets see what could you do? hmm...write a poem about such reviewers? I told you ignore those people, rudeness or ignorant is just a felection of their own work!! -
    shelley kaye: no, saying things like that are against site rules, you must tell tomm about these "reviews"
    -
    RITETAB: stumbled across this ~_~ n I got a 4 which is cool - but then no hint or suggestion which made me ? cos says 4 = needs adjustments, but w/e. I haven't read your rude review but makes me *grrr* against reviewer anyways ~_^ -


Nerdette: Dx... I'm getting really annoyed by getting 4 star reviews and then a message like this:

Oh this was really great! Absolutely wonderful, I found nothing wrong with it.

>.< Now I have to go and change all the advanced settings on my writing so that non-premier members can't review on my work...because they always give me 4 stars without understanding the meaning of it. They think 4 is good...and 5 is a 6. Dx.
    Daylok: Well they'll learn...someday. ;) -
    Daylok: Hey I just got two 4 stars from non-premi's too. What the hell! -
    Nerdette: Now you understand... XD lol.
    And whenever I reply to explain... THEY DONT RESPOND lol. Gosh. -
    Daylok: Another one!! 4 Stars because they believe 20 years in not old enough to be considered old?! -


Nerdette: BEST SANDWICH EVER!!!

bread.
two thin slices of pickels
a little bit of sour creme
A LOT of mayonaise
ham
cheese
a little bit of mustard potato salad..

XD and you are good.
    another jim: Giada De Laurentis called. She's suing you for cruelty to food... -
    --Turtle.: Sounds tasty to me. :D But I eat oysters on oreo cookies... -
    Nerdette: XD oysters? Lol... I eat cold vegetable soup lol.. -
    another jim: The two of you have elevated "ew" to an art form... -
    Nerdette: XD Its like picasso with food.
    Art.

    You want to hear something really disgusting? peaches and cottage cheese. Dx... I have no idea why my mom eats it. I think it is gross. -
    --Turtle.: I like peaches and cottage cheese, speggetti and ketchup, feta cheese and pancakes with an egg fried in the center and hot-sauce and suryup. mmmm -


Nerdette: Also... I hate being called ignorant just because I am young.. I understand that I don't have a full life of experiences..but it doesn't mean I am naive. I know I have a lot to learn...but that doesn't mean that what I have to say or anything that I have say..is just foolhearty.
    JeJo: I concur... -


Nerdette: Dx. I kind of get annoyed when someone gives you a low rating for your poem simply because they do not believe in your statements. I don't think that is right. When you write a story or poem...you aren't asking the person to agree with you...you are just asking them if this poem or story is interesting and sounds alright. So..that is probably the review that I can not accept and is the least helpful. I don't mark someone down if I don't agree with what they have said. I just ignore that little bit and tell them more about the technical stuff.


Nerdette: Here is a very powerful quote.. *cough*

I traveled the road less traveled upon...


NOW WHERE THE HELL AM I?!

haha. I saw this as a bumper sticker.
    shelley kaye: if ya find out could ya message me? LOL!!!! ;)

Nerdette: I think I am getting better at my poetry. I don't have to think so hard to write anymore. I've always been enjoying it, but now it seems effortless and more of them are more powerful than what my previous ones were. I think I've gained a greater appreciation for it, is what it is.


Nerdette: XD ahaha I found a huge beetle or bugs or something that was struggling on the ground yesterday. It was flipped over on its back and it couldn't get up. I felt sorry for it because it was going to die. So I went to find a rock and flipped it back over and let it walk away. (: that actually made my entire day.
    Kashif Ali Abbas: Sensitivity is one reason of our mood. I've felt the same way, such accidents are unavoidable. -
    JeJo: I always feel bad for those creature and try to help them get on their way. I mean, what did they do wrong? -
    Nerdette: Exactly! lol. They are such helpless creatures that we say "yuck" to, but we should help them anyway. -
    MikiB: I did the same thing today when this cecada was one it's back kicking it's legs. I stuck my foot over to try to push it over. It hung onto my sandal but when it touched my toe it flew off! Maybe it wasn't to die today? -
    MikiB: I did the same thing today when this cecada was on it's back kicking it's legs. I stuck my foot out to try to push it over. It hung onto my sandal for a minute, but when it touched my toe it flew off! Maybe it wasn't to die today? -
    Nerdette: lol. Yeah, I tried my shoe first, but it just wouldn't turn over. And I didn't want to use my hand, because I didn't know what type of bug it was. It was pretty big, so I just got a rock and flipped it over. XD I wonder if the little guy was thinking "thank you." -
