I get what you're saying,
Some people are too sensitive though,
It's your opinion I'll respect that...
I have two stories that are popular (i guess),
I didn't get almost 200 readers within the first day,
All you can do is keep writing the story,
Make sure to have a good description (the mini one)
That way when people read the title they can look at the description (before even opening it) and see whether they want to read it or not....
Most people read stories that are in first person, or have a good begining paragraph...
Spelling is also important, and being able to correctly space your paragraphs to make it easier for them to read...
Just reread your story and see where you (as a reader not writer) would have a problem with it,
Is the begining boring? Etc...
I'll read your story to help,
knowing I've been in this position too,
Where it just doesn't make sense...
K?
But beware, I'm deathly honest...
Don't ask what you can't handle k?
Update your story frequently,
People get bored and move on when you don't...

So this is me. My name is Maree, and in roughly one month I will be 16. I have chocolate brown hair and steel blue eyes, my skin is an ivory white color and I must say, I’m a city slicker. I admit my life is pretty good at this moment, I have a boyfriend who I love dearly and probably some of the best friends in the world. Though when I’m on my own, I am a bit of an outcast but put me with the guys and we’re almost invincible.
Now read the two and see the big difference?
When you reread your chapters, have you noticed the grammar mistakes and the shortness... I'm not one with the longest chapters in the world, but you can't have the shortest chapters neither. Keep the story interesting, a way you can seperate your paragraphs is by starting with the person talking. For an example check out any of my stories.
I know it's hard to fit in, but you got to be willing to take advice.
Now some people can give good critism, and others can be just plain mean.
But like they said in nicer terms, Mibba put a spell check button,
now I've never used it but I'm sure it'll work for you...
If not then go get microsoft word, or even find a person who will look over your story in the forums. As for the whole begining statement about how we suck, I know you just needed to vent...
But what you gotta remember about Mibbians,
Some of them to tend to want drama or don't like the disrespect which is VERY understandable, just right now I'm in a more calm mood...
Or else to be honest I'd be crawling up your butthole too, lol...
