Re: Have you ever ragequit an online community?

[(Anonymous)]

A community for self-published people that was full of novices (some had never written fiction before at all) who just wanted to get rich quick and hated the vendors and customers. There's nothing wrong with writing in a lucrative category like het romance to pay the bills while you work on your passion projects or work toward other career goals, but if you actively hate romance, look down on the audience, and are unwilling to do any research, maybe try something else. You're not owed sales because you're so much better than the 50s-stereotype housewives you assume are the only people contributing to this zillion dollar a year industry. Especially when you spend most of your time at home yourself and openly complain about your crappy, stifling marriage. My irony meter blew up a few too many times at that forum. The weirdest thing was when they couldn't wrap their heads around readers expecting physical descriptions of the characters. It's not fanfic, we don't know what anyone looks like. And even if we did, these are stories where two people become physically attracted to each other, not just emotionally. Put in a few details to help us understand why the people are attractive. Just a few. A couple of them tapped into popular subgenres at the right time and made enormous amounts on debut books, then tanked afterwards. Bad reviews tend to deter repeat business, who knew.
