(Commenting on both posts). I've had people quit on me, telling me I'm too advance for them. I don't get offended. People shouldn't get offended if I say the reverse. Not to toot my own horn, but I have four published books and people from different countries waiting on the next ones. I'm not a perfect writer and I have editors for a reason, but I hold myself in an area of creation where I can say; "I am advanced, but I'm not a dick." Because people get the terms confused, and then people argue what the terms mean. Some people avoid advance people because they think they will be assholes, when it's not true. I avoid 'elitists', because I have YET to meet one who isn't a dick on multiple sites. That and most elitists have shown to be the "I can use big words and act smart! But any real writer will know I'm using the words wrong, but most people aren't smart enough to notice! I SO SMART! S-M-R-T!" Lol. And I agree to the second post, the reuse of phrases and words constantly. I admit I do that sometimes when OOCing, but that's OOC. Oh, but what I hate more is when you get a partner, and to 'lengthen their post', they just REPEAT everything you already said! That's so annoying! I let it slide SOMETIMES, but it's like; "Dude, I know what I said... Re-posting it in your post for 'length' is not enjoyable..." I understand where it's used for dramatic purpose. But if I make a paragraph of my character saying something, repeating it in your post just seems pointless... I know what I said. I don't need to reread an entire paragraph of what I JUST WROTE!
