So that he can correct the mistakes, and go to write even better pieces of fiction? 
You have a point, buts it just knocking your confidence
and atleast if your going to correct his spellings do it in PM.
Public forum, public comments, public criticism.
And BRICK, it's Wordmaker , not Windmaker.
Edit: Pious was able to take what we've said on board, and I thank him for it.
*Takes the episode and kicks it under the carpet, then stamps on it for good measure to make sure no one sees it.*
Done and dusted, apology accepted. :-)

As Wordmaker said, it's a public forum, therefor, anything submitted is automatically submitted to public critiscism and public opinion. Those are the rules, if you do not like this, then do not post.
To you, again, Brick, the OP was happy with the critiscism and you have nothing to do with it, other then voice your opinion on something that wasn't your business to begin with. Stop derailing the thread please, for the sake of the OP. The next flame remark from yourself will be reported to Bridger.
Critiscism is meant to point out flaws that could make the story even better, to make the writer a better writer, it builds character and the results will boost one's confidence much, much more.

I agree.... it's a dying art.... i think there shud b more stories on this part of the forums no matter what they are. Makes a nice change and gives ppl something 2 tlk about. And this community will not "fry" you! This community is definately 1 of the best ive come along in ages of playin MMO's. I've recieved alot of help from 99% of my friends online and we are very supportive and kind to each other, and thats the way it shud b 2 cut out the negative attitude!(and btw troll's are very dumb so it dnt matter if theyre grammar dnt make sense lol 
) I thought some phrases were very effective. Keep up the stories i wanna see sum more soon! Have fun!
You didn't actually bother reading the thread, did you?

We have Creative for actual stories. Stuff here is really more character background sketches and such.
Story writing in Creative seems to have largely died out. Unfortunately, that's partially the moderator's fault. They started a compettion to promote the creative forum. They then awarded the prizes very late, or not at all, and to be honest some of the choices for awards were not so great. As a result, a lot of people gave up bothering.

I can think of one (1) story which was greeted with a 'negative attitude'. Exactly one. It was really bad.
Most stories are read, enjoyed or disliked, and then commented upon with actual thought and care. Telling someone they could improve their writing in some way is not 'negative'. Telling them their writing is really great when it is not is not positive it's psychophantic.

I'm not actually sure where that came from, but it seems to imply that anyone criticising another person's writing is a troll. If that's your intention, I'll be reporting your post to the moderators. Having your first ever post here reported for insulting the population of the forums wouldn't exactly mark you as a great member of the community, so I'm hoping you didn't mean it that way.

yeah.. somethings i've written wrong.. difficult to find a lighter way of saying 'pompous'.
"...and in actual fact, her feedback..." yeah.. ignore this line.. i was basically trying to say her feedback was a little harsh.
I do wish Ryther would say more...
