It's my first day in the writing arena too and you're right. Guess what else? It seems that no one comments anymore! All they do is read a sentence or two and close their eyes and press a random star. Everyone is in the art arena, I DEMAND SUPPORT FOR THE WRITING COMMUNITY ON GAIA!!!
Pretty much. Some dirtbag gave me one star on my poem and didn't explain why, which really ticked me off. If I hate a thing enough to vote that low, I generally have the courtesy to say why.
Unless it's stolen. Then I just report it.
But people only get comments on fanfic, it seems. If it's original fiction, people don't seen to care.
Speaking of fanfic, O Great Moderator, what are the rules concerning that and the writing arena specifically? Since the story isn't entirely their own work and their own characters, will that be disallowed, or will it have its own separate category? Because I, for one, don't want to read any fanfics. Original fiction, yes. Fanfics... no.
