Keeping it raw. I recently wrote a story about a road trip that I took from Mexicali to San Felipe Mexico with three putas (aka whores). I am very surprised at the response. How many people have ridden around Mexico in a car full of whores?
Of the criticisms, the only one that did not come across as a knee jerk and might be valid is, “Incoherent or Poorly Written.” Actually, I thought I did a pretty good job of outlining the players and the mode of transportation before describing the journey. I’ll admit, I did try to add a little color to the writing to increase the amusement value and maybe that is where I failed this audience. However, if this criticism holds true, I must seriously rethink how I present things.
I am honestly interested in more detail regarding the criticisms put forward. Inquiring minds want to know.
The article was rejected as follows:
@minnow: Spam Spam is defined as: irrelevant or inappropriate messages sent on the internet to a large number of recipients. I don’t know how you could call it “spam.” I was not offering to buy anything, to sell anything, nor fishing for personal information. And considering the audience it was written for, could it be that it was labeled as “spam” because there wasn’t enough sex in it? “Irrelevant?” Maybe this is valid. “Inappropriate,” is maybe a reach. “Sent on the internet to a large number of recipients?” Well, I didn’t shotgun it out, but this forum does enjoy a large membership.
@devl_dawgg: Not an Article — Belongs in Discussions Discussion is defined as: the action or process of talking about something in order to reach a decision or to exchange ideas. Article is defined as: a piece of writing included with others in a newspaper, magazine, or other print or online publication. I wasn’t looking for an exchange of ideas or seeking advice for the purpose of reaching a decision, so it was most appropriately an “article” not a “discussion.”
@Tsahhbruh: Spam / Advertisement Not an Article — Belongs in Discussions Not an Article — Submit as a Club Review Incoherent or Poorly Written Not Original / Plagiarized Appears AI-Generated See the response to some of these criticisms above. Since no clubs were identified and the two target clubs were closed, I don’t know how you expect this material to be included in a club review. From where do you think this article was plagiarized? Since it was unacceptable here, I will likely post it to other forums and seek criticism, but it was offered here first. So please, show me where this content appears elsewhere. Note that I am 70+ and wouldn’t use AI even if I knew how. If it had been AI generated, it probably would have been more coherent and would not have elicited the next criticism… “Incoherent or Poorly Written” OUCH! At least it possible that this is a reasonable criticism, as my writing skills are a bit rusty. OTOH, since your profile indicates ZERO contributions to this forum, I will consider that an indicator of the value of this criticism.
@inmonger: Incoherent or Poorly Written Appears AI-Generated See the response to this comment above. Did you plagiarize this criticism from Tsahhbruh?
At least it was in English.
FYI, this is an example of initiating a discussion, just in case the definition wasn’t clear.
Hey PutaTester - I’d love to hear about your adventure and how the test results came out. Happy mongering!
