random complaint of the day

You know what I hate? When I read the summary of a story and think, "Wow! That sounds awesome! I’ve been waiting forever for someone to write this story!" And then you start reading it and it’s so badly written that you can’t even continue.

Like, it’s a form of torture. Worse than the story not existing at all.

*sob*

*nods vigorously* I'm constantly amazed at the people who say it doesn't matter how poorly a story is written because "it has a wonderful plot!" A good story deserves good presentation.
