I did hesitate to follow you back due to that odd message, but if you promise you are not a bot like me...I mean if you are a human like me with a heart and blood vessels and everything, then I shall follow back.

Don't even think about stealing the stories I wrote back in high school.
Because, they're really bad. Just awful grammar and plot structure. Your amazing mind reading capabilities would be wasted.

I'm trying my best to just not deal with them at all. They had a chance to vote against a dystopian world and they were like...nah. Nothing will move them to act until they get personally hit by ongoing events.

I went a submissions spree and got 6 submissions out for short stores and 2 queries to agents for a novel. Results so far - 1 rejection. Past time for a response for 1 short story. - 90 days no response from agents.
So... yeah. Writing.
Submit more! Punish them for their foolish denial!

I've barely been on this site and already blocked one troll. Overall though, Blue Sky is a better environment. I think some folks just want to cause trouble but they are not particularly good at it.

If you used sentences with subjects, verbs, and occasional punctuation, no matter how bad your story is, I assure you the editors have seen worse.

If someone praises what I'm doing, but I feel I'm doing terrible, then their praise doesn't count.

I have the same goal. I've also been trying to think of ways to make writing a less lonely endeavor. I think we are going to need communities more than ever. However, this is up against my natural tendency to avoid people...

We could write one. "How the Vampire Selene Saved Christmas."
