When You Were A Bad Writer - Comments

@ kapachii
Hahaha same xD some of them aren't that bad, they're just sort of immature. But a lot of them are so... I can't even... They're hilarious, though

@ Soy un Dorito!
HAHAHHA it's so depressing ;; I spend hours trying to find good fanfics there =n=

No truer words have been written. You took the thoughts right out of my head. Remember the titles?! Titles that were excessively long and basically told the entire plot? Bless you for posting this. Looking back at the Quizilla days makes me feel like Jon Snow before he left home. Why did no one say anything?



We were lost little babies being enabled. We have gotten better I know that haha.

This is basically the entirety of AsianFanFics... xD

YES OMG! Yesterday I real a story about Taemin that seemed pretty cool, like the overall plot and whatnot, but it was just sooo bad xD

This is basically the entirety of AsianFanFics... xD

@everybody dies;
It's probably just there to humble you. No biggie. I'm rewriting my Harry Potter one, so I'm taking the plot and refining the crap out of it, and now it's just a love triangle instead of a love pentagon. Lol. So all of my chapters must remain there.

Oh God, I looked at my Quizilla account for a joke the other day. NEVER AGAIN. I posted a really crappy Elliot Minor fanfiction where me and my friends essentially got with the boys and thought it was fab. The writing is ridiculous, my grammar leaves a lot to be desired and I kept switching between present and past tense.

I tried to erase every single trace of my Quizilla account, but the stupid site won't let me delete. I press delete and it does....nothing. My crappiness is forever going to be immortalised in the one chapter left on that site.

@loverboy.
I know! I remember! I read a different one of your JB fanfics and was like, "She's amazing!" And so I messaged you asking you to read mine and give me feedback, and you were like, "I already read yours!"

And then we decided to love each other forever. <3

Quizilla used to be my favorite website. Ever.

I think I joined when I was in 8th grade, but I didn't start writing fanfics 'till I was a freshman in high school. I had two accounts, but I abandoned the first one because I didn't like my username anymore (it was something like" xJacobBlackLoverx" -- DON'T JUDGE ME). Anyway, I recently logged into that account and I started reading the fanfic that I never finished, which was coincidentally, a Jacob Black story. AND OH MY GOODNESS IT'S SO TERRIBLE. The OC had the weirdest fucking name ever (Genevieve Marseilles -- because her mother was obsessed with everything French before she was born -- but everyone called her Gen) and she always complained about being alone and Bella was her stepsister and at first they liked each other, but then Jacob imprinted on Gen and Bella got jealous and started to hate her. Oh, and she had like like 3 love interests (Jacob, Seth, and I was gonna add in some drama with Jasper). AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE WRITING ITSELF. I was so bad. So, so, so bad at writing.

I'm really grateful that I joined Quizilla, though, because it got me interested in writing, and then I started to improve. And it helped me to find Mibba when Quizilla was crumbling into a big pile of poo.

AND YOU AND I BECAME FRIENDS THROUGH THAT WEBSITE! Oh, memories.

The Real Mitt Romney:

IM SUPER FUCKING GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD THAT QUIZILLA PHASE OMFG

Yes. That phase still hunts me

lol i was pretty popular back on quizilla and its like, i've just matured a lot and my writing naturally has as well and its like... oh my god. even when i read my old stuff on here sometimes i facepalm lol!

LOL. Fellow Quizillians whom have all reunited on Mibba... HI! I find this relatively funny because even now, I'll look at my old stuff and be like, "OH MY GOD. WHAT WAS I THINKING?!"

Oh, those Quizilla days. I feel so old. Just a little shy of 9 years since I first discovered Quizilla. Oh, how great it used to be. Hahaha.

Glad to hear that I'm not the only one!
I was also on Quizilla, too. I migrated during the site's renovation in 2008ish. I have like a crap load of accounts on that thing. At least five. Haha XD
It's a very humbling experience when you look back and see what you did in the past. I feel like I've improved greatly, but that's just me.

One of my old creations on my first account (it was a Yu-Gi-Oh! GX fan fiction) has had 40,000 readers on it since I posted it. I still think it's a site error because, well... I've NEVER seen a story get that many readers on the first chapter.

Oh my God, I thought I was the only one. Now I think I'm a decent writer, but back when I started I had this MCR fanfiction and I inserted myself and my friends on it and everyone ended up with everyone and she was a total Mary Sue and URGH. It didn't get so popular, but people still liked it, and I look at it back now and I get so embarrassed.

IM SUPER FUCKING GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD THAT QUIZILLA PHASE OMFG

OHMYGOD. I know exactly what you're talking about. I made my "(your name)" be such a good friend to a GROUP OF GUYS, and she was SO AWESOME at sports, seriously. To make her flawed, I made her horrible at Vollyball and another sport.

Seriously, it's such a SMH moment.

This makes me panic because I know in like... three years I will look back at everything I've written and think it was such shit, and I just.... I don't want to face that. Like, I'm not happy with what I write now, but I do what I do to the best of my ability because I enjoy doing it, and I don't want to look back and see that I sucked even worse than I thought I did.

@dizzy dreamer;
Lol. But if you think about it, that's what makes it the perfect website. You can write as terribly as you want and people will encourage you because of the exceedingly low standards. That gives you the courage to keep writing, and once it gets better, you can migrate to other sites. :)

Oh god, somehow I just knew that this was about Quizilla. Lol, I still have my account and stories up just to make myself feel better sometimes. These stories I wrote - that got quite a lot of positive feedback - were horrible. None of my stories had actual plots or character development (all Mary Sue's, no question) and the grammar was atrocious.

I had one story (I think it was a Joe Jonas fic, maybe?) and I made my girl have serious anorexia and self-harm issues, that she overcame perfectly within a week and was fine. I just really feel like Quizilla is for inexperienced, starter writers because its awful. -_-

I do this all the time. I have deliberately left up the first fan fictions I ever posted just so I can go back and look at how much I've improved. And it's a lot, because I was seriously terrible.

But like you, I was getting tons of great feedback and heaps of views! People telling me I was amazing and should continue. But my writing was terrible, I had no plot, and my characters were...blehh. I wouldn't even call them characters now.

It's always good for a laugh, though.
