I'm sorry but I'm not staying here if I am going to be told how long a Prologue or Chapter to my story "should" be and that I write badly. Sorry, but bugger off. I'm not going to name said person here, but I have had enough of her, and I am leaving.
I don't know if I'll be back so I'm leaving my account here, but there is no way I'm staying here when I get better advice off my friends elsewhere.

just because some one offers you advice, that doesn't mean you have to take their advice. As a writer, you can choose what you wish to take for advice if at all. But you have to realize, people give advice because they want to be your friend. How are people to know if you want advice or not, if you don't politely tell them?

I did reply politely. I was simply told I was a bad writer for not taking her advice.
And said person is actually on this forum.

I once had someone come up to me on a forum and tell me that I shouldn't be writing and that I write terrible and she wasn't nice about it either... I just simply ignored her and continued doing what I loved best. If I want to take the advice, I will. But if I don't, I won't.

All I did was say, that a prologue should be 1000 words at least. You didn't have to take my advice at all you know and be grumpy at me.

You told me I was a bad writer. I am not going to stay here if that's what you think. I have had my other friends say I have very good potential, and one is very close to being a professional writer and he's in his 30s. So good bye.

I am not abusing you. You DID say I was a bad writer. You told me straight that if I wanted to be a bad writer and not take your advice then fine. That is exactly what you said, don't try and lie just to look good to the others here. If you do not like looking bad, do not say things and then deny them.

Your the one who told me in so many words you wanted to be a bad writer, and I only said that cause you insulted me, and my writing style.

No, you told me I was a bad writer, I have never said that. Wish I'd saved the conversation now, actually. Oh well. Fact is, I am a good writer, and you insulted me when I didn't want your help because there are no rules on how long prologues or chapters should be. So, get off your high horse, please. I'm leaving, because I don't like being around stupid people who think they can tell the rules on writing. So, bye~ <3 No point replying, I'm done here.

ADMIN MODE: Ok, before this goes any further, I will mediate here. First of all, not every piece of fanfiction advice is meant to be taken as gospel...when comments are given, consider how many people are given the same comments before thinking that there is really a problem. Advice is merely difference of opinion and there is a right and a wrong way to give it. Secondly, there is much more to good writing than long chapters. It also involves proper grammar and spelling, proper portrayal of characters and reasonable plot as well as the plot being reasonable. However, chapters should be developed by having the right balance of description, dialogue and action..but that is something that takes time.I know because I used to write small chapters just like you, Serenity. Only my chapters included mostly dialogue and action. During my experience in writing I also have learned that chapters can still be small even when developed..that's because some fics were not meant to be long.
So Serenity...don't let anyone tell you that you are a bad writer just because your chapters are short. Just keep on putting your heart into what you're doing and do your best the way you know how..and just keep on practicing and through that you may come up with something better than you thought you were capable of doing. Don't conform to everyone's criticism.
And SakuraandSesshomaru..calm yourself or you could end up doing something that'll get you banned from here.
