Tybalt Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 East of the Web is a fantastic site that all serious, enterprising writers (and voracious readers) ought to take a look at. Publish your own stories and "hyperfiction", read and discuss classics, lots more. Don't want to steal thunder here at Songfacts. This is another different tool for those compelled to write.

scott Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 Oh crap! Sara I just reread the guidelines, and the first time I didn't read carefully enough, so I have a question. Do lyrics/songs/whateveryouwanttocallit count under the creative writing section? Because I already posted, so if they don't I can edit my post right out of existance.

TheCyberdemon Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 I'm pretty sure thats one of the main purposes of this thread scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted June 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 Of course Scott , we're happy to have your lyrics up.....I used the word 'paragraph' above which probably makes it sound like we want stories but the reason I said that was simply to get across that we do not want one liners. Also, we re-thought the comment rules and I have edited the guidlines above (just in case anyone is confused ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earth-Angel Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Helpful/constructive as in: Your words are good, but they don't flow so well *here* and *here* or maybe if you did *this* or *this* it would sound better not as in: Cr*p poem.

Harguitay Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 So...what does one say if it really IS a cr*p poem? Nothing? Wouldn't it give the cr*p poet the notion that the cr*p poem is really good if the audience was forbidden to say, "Man, that's really a cr*p poem?" Isn't it dishonest if I was limited to saying,"That would be much less a cr*p poem if you played with the meter a bit" when it's not the meter but the cr*p poem that's the problem? Or would you take it upon yourself as moderator to censor the cr*p poems (and maybe the cr*p posts as well) before I had the opportunity to comment?

_jr_ Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Did you just read Earth Angel's post about constructive criticism? If you think it's a crap poem, that's fine. But you aren't serving any purpose by saying "It's cr*p", other than to hurt the poet's feelings. So yes, if that's how you feel, then you should just keep quiet. There might be others who find it an alright piece of verse, and they might make helpful suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 But telling the author it's a crap poem is serving a purpose. It's letting them know to not write such crap, and if crap is all they are capable of writing, then they shouldn't waste their time writing. Also, when did crap become a curse word?

_jr_ Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 If you can't be constructive and helpful, then you shouldn't say anything. It serves no purpose. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Hmmm, that's a good idea. Perhaps I'll write a short story about a day in the life of Batman. Even better, I'll write a series of stories! They will be called "The Mildly Amusing Adventures of Batman." Or if I wanted more readers, I'd call it "The Slightly Arousing Adventures of Batman." Now nobody steal my idea...or EA's idea, really. I'll probably get started tommorow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went downtown to look for a job. I hung out in front of the drugstore. Day three. I woke up. I went downtown to look for a job. I got a job, keeping people from hanging out in front of the drugstore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
