Unlikeable protagonist
The protagonist derides and objectifies the female he has sex with in the first scene, basically calling her the equivalent of a whore, without justification. I have nothing against adult content but it should be respectful.

Who wants to read a free work of short fiction? Heroism, drugs, sex, drama, it's got it all!

Do you have an attitude problem? You should be asking nicely why your story wasn't found to be funny. But instead you insult.

While I agree that his reply wasn't the most friendly sounding the poster who said it wasn't funny wasn't much help either with how little detail they gave in their critique of the story. Why wasn't it funny? He/she doesn't say anything about that. If someone doesn't like something about a story I'd say at least include something of why in the critique. Spoiler tags will hide it from those who don't want the story spoiled I'd think. And in any case the poster didn't lose anything as the story was offered for free.

“How to Write the First 3 Paragraphs of YOUR Indie Novel” - by Max Waxwelp 1) Always write 3 sentences of exposition; 2) now create some dialogue, preferably no more than 2 sentences; and 3) make certain the dialogue is either inane or humorous. Example: “Bob, I did not know you wore yellow suspenders,” Sally remarked. “Gee, Sally, those are not suspenders. I am wearing yellow underwear today,” Bob revealed. The dialogue above will help produce at least 100 more pages of dialogue. |
