I used to be such a nice person.

K pointed out that there's an anonymous meme going around where you can tell writers what you *really* think of their writing, which you know, hey, go ahead. Personally, I'm always getting abused anyway whether it's anonymous, or in sekrit (which really not sekrit at all), or to my face, so if you're feeling that need, knock yourself out. I didn't actually think anyone needed a *day* or some shit, but hey, I'll even start.

[Name here] is not a very good writer. Actually, she fucking sucks. Same stories, same characters, same characterization. I mean, damn, what happened to all the mass murder? Can you just get a new story or something? Also, you are so not all that. I don't know why people like your stories. Are you famous for sucking someone's cock or something? I could totally do better. And I spell better than you too. And, I make less typos. So there. Also, where the fuck is my chai latte? You are fucking fired.

ETA: I adore you all madly for rushing to my aid, but I think what I just don't get about this exercise is the simple idea of if you don't like something, why the fuck are you reading it? Is someone holding a gun to your head and forcing you to? I highly doubt that, so why go around being needlessly rude and cruel? That's just fucked up.

plus, i don't know about you, but the only people i have on my flist are people WHO I LIKE TO READ

either their stories, on their daily life or both. why would they even BE here if i din't like their writing, you know? so how harsh could i be? ('and the way you use commas is LAME!)?

so if i were going to do this to someone whose writing i really DIDN'T like, i would have to make a special effort to find their journal and do it.

and to me, that's taking it out of the realm of criticism, and into that of vindictive bitchery
