Garnet Psaltery Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 You're all over the forum asking for ideas concerning music, fashion, and at least one location, and I see you want to hire someone to create a magazine for you (at the fee you're offering I don't think you'll get anyone but perhaps you have a small budget so the best of luck). Please tell us exactly why you want people to post fiction, and what you will pay for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people post stories, i hope they put a disclaimer at it to prevent using it for "magazines" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're giving the impression of someone who wants other people to do the work to make you money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orwar Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Disclaimer: This story is based on real events. Once upon a time, in a land far away beyond the mountains, there was an Internet forum. There, the inhabitants had grown quite accustomed to various sleazes begging for money, freebies, and services, and naturally were quite reserved when newcomers asked for things that wasn't mere information about how to navigate the platform or how to fix up an avatar - especially when the newcomer also had created different threads prior, where they spoke about publishing things. Unsurprisingly, when the newcomer asked for stories, and refused to respond to any questions regarding the purpose of those stories and whether they may be published for profit elsewhere, people refused to post any stories as it smelled as fishy as a sour herring cannery. But one guy, finding himself available and in the mood, decided to waste the OPs time, if only for a short moment, by retelling the tale of the thread, in the thread itself - 'threadception!', as the author figured the cool kids these days might say. And so they lived happily ever after. Amen. ... Wait, that's the bible thing. I mean 'The end'! 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, the game in which they take turns composing lines to create a limerick: I once met a doctor of physick, Who slipped me a strong analgesic.

Dafadilia Wayfarer Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) You're right about one thing. This is indeed a forum. A public forum where anyone has a right to reply to a thread you start even if they express something you may not necessarily like. Explaining what your intentions are for these short stories you're asking others to share should be a priority. People who would be sharing their work in this thread have put time and effort into anything they would be willing to share so perhaps you should put a bit of effort in by being transparent and honest about your intentions. Brushing off questions that are quite understandable to ask under the circumstances demonstrates that your motives may be less than honorable. So it might be in your best interest to answer the questions asked here instead of telling others to "not reply" or "waste their time" in your thread if they don't like what they've read. You don't get to dictate who replies to your thread. 🙄 Edited November 24, 2020 by Dafadilia Wayfarer Correcting one of my biggest spelling error peeves...wrong use of your instead of the correct you're. Grrrrr... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
