If I see one more post today that's talking about fucking writing competitions, judging or entering, existing solely for the shitty wank stories that belong in fucking blog posts I'm going to:
I am open to corrections if neccessary.
On this point, I apoligise on behalf of the entire writing sub-community on Newgrounds.com for only writing in a very amateur and sloppy fashion. We sympathise with you and we agree that all creative works should be defined as miraculously life-changing upon submission to Newgrounds.com, despite the fact that certain writings may come from the minds of younger people who are always very unwilling to develop. The community understands, and I understand. We understand that any effort to educate any users on how to really project some thoughts onto a page is utterly bullshit, and we apoligise again for the utter bullshit.
We understand that the literature portal will be filled with anonymous, sex-related, badly-written bullshit from the very start. In fact, these are the only sorts of works that appear in literature, or general text for that matter. We understand that Dante, Dickens and D.H Lawrence all startred out by posting by posting this sort of material on Newgrounds.com, and we understand that this is the only material they ever had published. We understand that it's good to have everything in an area that goes unnoticed, because that's what creative work deserves to be, regardless of style, possible genre, ideology, or whatever the fuck you may think of that makes a text of whatever sort. We understand that writing is an altogether pointless art, for the weak-minded who are unable to fulfill any other position in society at this time.
And I personally understand that throwing a mesage back in someone's face is very important, never mind the message to others narrowly involved. If you don't have the message you don't have the ammunition, and the ammunition is important because if you don't have ammunition, you can't fire at people, and if you can't fire at people, what's the point in living? People are killed, people get into arguments, people leave their loved ones, people are killed, things develop themselves into Eldritch abominations and people are killed. I personally understand that it's all very important to understand.
I'm Howard Beale, and this was a load of bullshit.
