How fu$#ed up is this
Now as some of you know I have written a very long story which is attached to my name as a signature. It is the instructor and student one. Anyway I posted this story on another site which some of you may or may not know. It is www.lustylibrary.com. Now don't get me wrong it is a good site for stories and not much else. Anyway their mods have to pre read the stories before they are posted. They said mine had incorrect grammer and I had spoken in the past tense. WTF???? I posted it here no problems and everyone understands it without a hitch. I have never had once lil or any other mod here tell me that my story needed work in the grammer department. I mean for fu#$'s sake its a sex story.

Because you did not ask for editing. We openly allow submissions. Other sites proof and require editing or have a submission process. We edit only if asked or if someone breaks the rules. Constructive criticism never hurts. I have my students proof and help edit their peers work all the time.

It was a bit rubbishy that they said it was in the past tense - most stories are and personally I prefer them that way. Having said that, a lot of the back story did appear to be in the pluperfect tense which can make it a little bit strange to read - perhaps that's what they meant - in which case they should have bloody said so. No point in being Grammar Nazis if they don't understand grammar properly themselves.
Sorry - I too am a Grammar Nazi but at least I do know what I'm talking about!

I have always been under the impression that if it is easy to read and flows to a reasonable degree without too much trouble, then where is the problem? When I first posted the story here which was a while ago, I have had quite a few people view it. Now if it was such an issue then someone would have said something at the end of the story about the grammer not being 110% spot on nor did I recieve any PM's in regard to this. But no one has said a thing. So I took this as a good sign.
Lou you said something that makes sense. No point in telling someone something is wrong and not have the backbone to show them. I no longer use that site for posting stories as they are a bit tight in the grammer department. I just thought I would share my frustrations with all of you.

In all honesty, I had started to read your story and hadn't gotten past the first paragraph because I thought it was difficult to read. I read erotica to get off, and if I need to reread a sentence two or three times to understand it, it's counterproductive. I didn't bother to make a comment to you about it since many stories are like that, I didn't want to be rude, and English isn't my first language so I know my grammar isn't always spot-on either.

Serious note: Editing IS important if you honestly care about your story quality and even those who are good at self-editing can or might miss a few quirks with tense, grammar and most especially spelling. Best to have two or three experienced eyes have a look-see.
