Editors romping joyfully with unicorns through sunshine-filled meadows
Erniemenard thinks cranky_editors would be the perfect place to solicit advice for his unfinished non-fiction work. Cranky editors disagree.

My sincerest apologies for failing to read the user info page. This page is likely something nobody reads, similar to disclaimers.

and

Do you really believe that I feel as if I'm in hot water? I feel as I have entered the internet equivalent of a van full of geeks telling me that they are going to do things to me if I do not eliminate my favorite five option.

Flounce? Flounce? I do not flounce.

The story is non-fiction.

What? How can a story be non-fiction? Isn't a story, by definition, fictional? What's he writing? The nail and the hammer go on a date. The nail is a hussy and lets herself get pounded on the very first date?

I dunno, at the Fourth of July family gathering, a bunch of us sat around for an hour or so exchanging mostly non-fictional stories about ways in which trees can almost kill you.

If it's in some kind of narrative form, I think it counts as a story regardless of whether it's fictional or non-fictional, though I could be mistaken.

D'oh! Deleted for spelling.

But yeah, creative non-fiction is totally a genre. Think David Sedaris.

It would be fabulous if this subsequently showed up on one of said cranky editor's blogs.

I kinda think the cranky editors came across as more wankers than the would-be author. He or she was fairly polite at first. So, yes, n00b but cranky editors being cranky without real reason maybe?

Wannabe writers who can't read are almost as common as fanfic readers who can't read. It's scary.

I neglected to introduce the fact that the story is online and was originally posted as a blog. The person that wrote the blog deleted it and persons unknown reposted this blog elsewhere.

Wait... I'm confused. He partially wrote it himself, but it was originally a blog that some unnamed person wrote and then deleted, and mysterious Internet Elves reposted it elsewhere, and now he wants to spank it up for professional publication. Shouldn't he get the rights back from the elves first? Or are they holding his coherence captive, and they won't give it back until he pounds out the rest of the story?

Yeah, I'm confused as to what the hell blog he's talking about. I really hope he's not intending to snag someone's work offline, tack on a few words, and start submitting it.

You mean there's happy romping editors out there? Damn it, here I thought we were all bitter, tired, and usually smelling of alcohol.

I'd like somebody to read something I may have written.

For one brief, shining moment, I thought we were being asked to evaluate some piece of writing for a time-traveling amnesiac.

Holy shit, still LOLing. What a beautiful image.

Well, why don't you take a vacation, find a unicorn, and go romp through a sunshine filled meadow?

I'll take "not getting the point of this community" for $500, Alex!
