..............i am surprised she is still here too............ close quotes

Then surely if enough people get behind a purge, then HC will see the light and get rid of her. My book may well be rubbish. But regardless, I will not consider uploading on to here again until she has gone. And I am not alone in feeling this.

Am here for the crit - how I deal with that is up to me, and happy to contribute my ten pen'orth. Frankly would love to see a best seller genuinely found here and, opening myself up to crit, The chances are increasingly likely - still a long shot but not quite the 10,000 to 1 it used to be.

Also appreciate mature intellitgent humour. After that happy if the rest fades away.

+1

Or I'd just be happy not to be trolled to death. It's x2 today and loads of vicious lies being added to the mix.

But to each their own. There's a group of about 10 who really get off on me being trolled to death so keep going and have fun. Me, I'd rather crack on with my book until authonomy once again take charge of the playpen and this once more becomes a writers site and not a trash can.

Being chased around the internet on other sites for merely offering a little critique and advice on here is not acceptable. She drove me from here months ago. And she has done it to others with her other accounts she has. She has been advertising her own book on Amazon and other sites, and selling it as a complete and edited work. When people beg to differ she turns in to a vile nasty person. This should not be acceptable to HC and their Terms and conditions of site use. Yet she still remains, and continues to blame everyone else. Now HC issue a blanket statement that is nothing more than insulting to the vast majority of the site. And why? Delete her and be done with it, others may feel encouraged to come back. I have said my bit and have some more important things to do.


All the very best.

You only think it is.....if you shut up for a bit and get on with your work then the focus will move to someone else....get it? It's you that's stoking the fire.......Open-mouthed Open-mouthed Open-mouthed close quotes

OK, I'll shut up. But you're dealing with 2 mental cases. I promise it won't make any difference what so ever.

Over and out.

You guys have fun trashing me (not aimed at you Jobo).

You do realise that's not the real site administrator, don't you? close quotes

I was wondering what this entity's credentials were, it doesn't even date back very far...

You hounded me on here and on Amazon. You were giving yourself startlingly good reviews of your own work and took major offence when somebody pointed the fact out to you. Nobody is trashing you, they are just being honest. Try some of that on for size then go and eat some humble pie and apologise to all the nice people you have been vile and nasty to. You are the only real problem with this site. And the sooner HC do something about it the better for all of us.

I agree with what you are saying. If we keep doing the same thing expecting a different result then we won't get it. However, if we do something different, it is more likely to give a different result.

In keeping with the inspire and mentor theme of Harper Collins recent blog, how about instead of TSR, there are different levels of authonomites. 'Newbies' who need to constructively crit a few other books before they attain to the next level. 'Apprentices' who are working hard at areas of writing. 'Mentors' for people who are published or have a lot to give the other site members, e.g. people like Becca who are excellent at editing and wouldn't mind mentoring other less experienced writers.

In order to reach a higher level or keep within their own level, authonomites have to do a certain amount of critiquing each week. Not only would this keep authonomites busy, but it would focus attention back on writing and improving. If members 'play up' in the forums they get relegated to a lower level or a probationary level. People would soon learn to ignore these people who had no status.

Just my thoughts on this. close quotes

Different level of authonomites???? That will bring constructive bullying. More institutionalised bullying.
