Does it bother you when writers post their stories on Yahoo Answers?
Let me elaborate:

I always see writers (young writers especially) posting about their "books". Giving out character names, their entire plot, and then asking us for help. Or, just in general, giving us all the details on their story and asking us if we would read it. Sure, it's a free country, they can do what they want, but somehow it wriggles under my skin as an annoyance. Maybe I'm just fed up with new writers? Share your thoughts.

Sincerely,

Snarky writer and editor.

You can find me on twitter as @SnarkyNovelist.
I guess I've grown bitter. Should stay away from new writer threads.... I get enough of them daily when I'm sent manuscripts for approval. Phew.
OK OK, let me rephrase... it bothers me when some people do it... and when they're inexperienced.. and when they sound like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9fc-crEFDw
