IMO I think seun thinks he his doing the writers a favour by allowing them pass their message to a wider audience maybe that is why he feels less concerned but I know it's a 50:50 cos he gets more people signing up and the writer gets appreciated too. A story actually made me register and a couple of others too. The likes of frank 3:16, Kayemjay, flow1759, coolval22, petokey etc are nowhere to be found even if they are still around, they just pop in once in a while cos their work is not being appreciated. I don't see seun heeding your advice jare |

johnwizey: I saw him reading the thread and he disappeared swiftly after that. I guess he went to view one of those Instagram post or those post with "Graphic, viewer discretion is advised" |

It is a pity that the once vibrant lit forum is now lazily snoring on her sick bed. If changing the mod will make it come around then I see nothing wrong with it. Seun please look into this ASAP. 1 Like |

Mattkent: Lol badt guy. Sageez: Seun Should look into it ? What should he look into exactly? First of all we Should all come together and list the problems affecting the Literature section. Par Example : 1) Are the mods competent enough? 2) Why do most writers prefer to post in sexuality section? Is it because there are rules holding em from expressing there piece in literature section? 3) What is been done to protect a writer's piece from being plagiarised? And so on Once we have reached a common ground as to what's affecting the section then we can c on Seun to come intervene. 1 Like |

Errrrr, I'm a newcomer here, but I think before you call on Seun to "open the gates of Canan" on this section, it needs some serious renovating. First of all, The quality of english on this literature thread is very................ Disturbing, to put it nicely. There are a number of stories I see on this section with poorly spelled words, bad sentences and the worst of them all: made up entirely of abbreviations. I'm not saying one has to be a professor in English before one starts a story. But one has to at least be coherent. If you, OP, were the owner of Nairaland, would you like stories with crappy english grace the frontpage? I think not. The second thing I've noticed on this literature section is that there is a lack of ............... That spark, that creativity that makes you hunger for the completion of the story. I don't know what to call it, I'm a budding scientist with a great love for fiction you see. Now, you can wring your hands and say "but that's the job of the mods" or you can take action yourselves. How? It's quite simple, really. You can offer criticism/advice to any story you read that has the characteristics of a bad/poorly written stories. It's gonna be hard grueling work but hey, nothing good comes easy. Btw, can you tell me of any War, science fiction and Fantasy stories No offense, but I'm chock tired of reading romance. Cc repogirl, llaykorn, divepen1 and er............ every devotee of this section. |

SirWere: Well said Sir (do you really want me to put the 'were' ) buh there are still some stories that are not based on romance. Check out Accidental Victim by Dioxidane... Tarasha by Oyinprince.... Call of magic by Pabon... And about the poor use of English what can we do about that ? |

not trying to be a wet blanket, but I highly doubt this thread will achieve the purpose for which it was created. the owner of this site is interested in traffic and things that will gain revenue for him, besides how many people of today love to read. long articles posted on other sections are not read, is it now a novel or a poem that would be read. it is left in our hands to make this section what it used to be. I only hope admin will not frustrate our efforts. personally, I love this section and I have read many stories even though I hardly comment on them. what will be will be. 1 Like |

donkross1:Thanks for pointing me to those stories. Will check it out promptly. Well, things will be better if the Moderators of this section add a guideline banning the use of bad english but there are some things you can do yourself. 1) You can open a "new and improved" guideline for writing proper, then continue "bumping" it so as to attract the attention of new writer 2) Once you open a story written in bad english, you could advice the Author to write proper. 3) If after several advices/criticisims, you could tell people to stop commenting altogether. It's a bit harsh but I think his/her inspiration will flame out when he realizes no one is listening. Those are the solutions I can think of right now. And yes, you can add the were |
