Once Upon a Midnight Dreary · 8:31am Jun 11th, 2014
You know, I still view this story as a failure overall at what I was attempting to do. I think that if I had tried a little harder, the story could have ended up being pretty good. In fact, Shadowflash said that it was a waste of a good idea.
And yet this story has now reached over 2,000 views, but it still stays as my worst story overall. I have never understood that. Why do people keep on reading my failed story? Should I actually pursue a rewrite to make it worth those views? I don't know.
But guys, thanks for the likes, faves, and views. I still love the story as much as I do my other more successful ones, and I have learned so much since I released it.
If anyone wants me to revisit this story, I just might. Give me some feedback.
Some people wouldn't call a 58:8 story a failure at all.
Then again, you aren't some people. You aren't even most people.
I think I shall read it and give you some feedback.

Well, in comparison to my other stories, it has the most dislikes and the least likes. People also (while I liked it) misconstrued the point of it. I mean, I left it open ended, but even I wouldn't come to some of the conclusions drawn. It also received constructive criticism the fastest. In fact, I believe it was the third comment. While it was helpful, it did wonders for my self-esteem.

personally, I think the speed with which you receive such constructive criticism is indicative of the genre you write, not the quality. Some genres receive much more attention than others, which results in those who seek out the lesser-known genres(or less well-liked) tending to get to trying to help improve the works of those who try to write them much faster than others.
Tragedy is, of course, one of those genres.

It's been on my RL list for a while. The blog just kicked in my drive to read it.
That, and he gave me good feedback on my own story in return

If I knew he was accepting bribes to read stories, I'd have done that ages ago!
