I think they said that you can report your own story. As I think you need to write some kind of free text, you can get your message across to the admins that way. Not sure if there actually is a by-the-book way though, or if such actually exists.

Likely that it's a troll then. I read earlier on the forum that can report it somehow and have that rating removed if you suspect that to be the case. Not sure though.

Perish the thought. Conversations take even more energy than expressing the conversation starter.

Finally inspired what to write as my next story, To gain new insight I had to be investigatory. As my understaning of six year old girls was not profound, I chose to go and visit the local park and playground. I sat and watched the little ones that were yet growing, And heard someone say "I've...

Aye. But isn't our own neural activity also an innate behavioral response? Isn't every neuron firing in our brain doing so, as a response to certain stimuli? The only thing that differs is the biological structures, and what kind of stimuli we respond to, and how complex the chain of response...

Let me start off by saying that to try to answer what conciousness is, will be a question in a similar league to asking what the meaning of life is (or in my opinion, more difficult). As such, there are two answers, a short and a long one. Short answer? 42. Long answer. Lets start by answering...

If something is popular, it's something that has garnered favourable interest among the masses. Not to be confused with famous, which means that it garnered interest, whether it's positive or negative. For stories in general to be popular, this means that you normally go somewhere down a...

What are these 'emotions' you speak of? On a serious note though, read or watch the greatest tragedy you can find. Your own life seems just a little bit better after.

'Don't like, don't read' is more or less the informal reader version of 'Viewer discretion is advised'. It merely means that the following content can be upsetting to some, and therefore you can avoid some of the critizism like 'How can you say something like that without warning first!'...

Allow me to rant about what a Mary Sue is. A Mary Sue character is someone who has, in essence, reached their potential. The fact that you consider that there exists a cap for your character, implies that your character will no longer be improving itself. The non-Mary Sue way to do it, in my...

The post above states most of what could be said. I think liking is simply the way that you agree(/approve) with what is said and have nothing more to add. Not necessarily that you feel joy at the content of the message. In your chapters, you can use author's notes and polls to try to encourage...

Completely forgot that's what it's called, but yes. Things are introduced primarily in order to drive the story forward, with little or no relation to the story prior to being introduced.

It's certainly a thing I'd say. But I'd consider it more like a scale, where each story can lean towards one of the two. Examples of plot driven stories are those where the MC and co very conveniently stumble upon items and events that are relevant to forward the plot. You know that meeting...

I haven't tried writing in first person, and here's why. Human communication is subtle. Most of our communications is both concious and subconcious bodylanguage - we make facial expressions we aren't completely aware of, we react in ways that we aren't entirely sure how it will be experienced by...

I think with more releases, you can 'abuse' the system and get more attention, as your story will be put on the first page each time you release a chapter. Problem with short chapters might be that readers feel a bit annoyed (I do at least). So I try to keep my minimum to 1500 words per...

The flaw with humanity is the fact that we believe ourselves to be intelligent. When there is plenty of evidence to the contrary. The fact that we are willing to harm others of the same race is a prime example. Self-proclaimed truths are rarely objective truths. I doubt however eradicating the...

Reading is an experience. This is because writing, is nothing else than formal thinking. An exercise to see if we can put our ideas, thoughts and emotions into a piece of art that can capture the imagination of our readers, as they did for us. To make others experience the what we want them to...

What is this strange measurement you use? Forgive me, but this poll you have is a bit strange to me, and I think a few others will feel the same. Firstly, because it does not address topics of sex, age and genetics. And no, I'm not only talking about 'people have different body types' when I...

Ignorance. Especially, the choice of ignorance. Any act that can be considered evil, is considered such because the results are achieved at the expense of others (often leading to their suffering). As such, as self-proclaimed intelligent beings, we need to be aware that all our actions can have...
