To Be Or Not To Be: PUMPED! · 6:07am Apr 28th, 2012

Note: Posted on Deviant Art and FIMFiction before anyone gets confused.

Where have I been this past week? Where's all the promised fictions, my comments on art, and overall presence? After I came out with "Dream Come True" I appreciated the overall favorites I was getting, but there were a few people on FIMFiction who were like "I enjoyed it, but here's a paragraph about why it sucks." While I managed to cheer up from people liking the story at all, I have something to point out to these critiques. :/

1) Lyra gets "powers" because she's a vampire, and not just any, a Sacrier, which is explained later on.
2) Sometimes when it takes me a few days to pump out something I decide not to be as detailed as the 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' in order to save some tome. -_-
3) I can see certain aspects of it all being predictable in a way, but there's know way you knew what was going to happen until right before it did at the most. Why you don't like the ending is beyond me though after admitting you were okay with it.
4) Cliche villain huh? Because of the name or something? How about I just make it a pony everyone knows and loves and just piss and confuse a bunch of bronies off hmm?
5) There is a gore tag, I can't control the changes they've made to FIMFiction so it's not my fault if you don't see one.
6) Mary Sue? OC with Lyra painted over it? I wasn't aware Lyra had a character set in stone, or that being the character or story is based around made her a Mary Sue.
7) And it's not just "Because" that she has these immunity. Honestly that makes it sound like I don't explain that she's a Sacrier. But then you just say "Because she's a super-special one-of-a-kind vampire" so nothing would satisfy this person anyways.
8) There's a reason she goes blank faced as if she does a personality shift, and a reason for why she falls to her knees holding her head at the end. She wasn't in control of herself, which I may have gotten more into, but you people don't like talking apparently do you? you want to be shown things, and to do that I'd have to make more. But to make more I'd have to get positive feedback and support..... yeah, shame.
9) Why do people keep saying it's flat? Maybe it's because the characters weren't accurately portrayed how they personally always imagined them. Just like Derpy! Look how that worked out for you over-opinionated dolts! ^^
10) She wasn't talking during the scene for the personality shift reason. I'm getting a lot of Prototype references here apparently. And the fight scene was just that, a scene. It wasn't a war, or a full out battle in some fighting game, it was a shocking and horrifying moment in the story.
11) If I gave her a couple of days to adapt to her vampirism, there would have to be a lot of off screen time since this is a "ONE SHOT" not a series! It's hard enough keeping up with how many series I already have going and planned! >.<
12) The climax was her massacring the vampire spawn. Sorry if you wanted some badass battle with Dingbat, but if you think you can do better with a vampire Lyra fight scene I'm not stopping you from going and making a story of your own. And the goddess of battle thing, again, wasn't in her own mind at that moment. Guess I SERIOUSLY was not clear enough in that regard.
13) Her powers are not a move set, they are not unlockables in a video game. It's like pyro-kenisis, you manipulate your blood into what ever your creativity can think of, with enough blood that is. Like a green lanterns ring, only you keep recharging it with blood.
14) Few days so Dingbat can learn about her. Yeah that would be nice... in a SERIES!
15) At the very least at least bronies can salute me for going through with this as if I knew I'd get such negative feedback... meh.

For anyone who doesn't know what I mean by any of these responses, go read my comments here: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/22277/Dream-Come-True

So while I was depressed for a day or two, it usually takes me a couple days to rationalize things and think of a proper and hot headed response. There you go. But that wasn't the only reason why I was out of commission for so long. I don't know what it was, but I had some sort of slow motion funk that made ten minutes go by in forty. It was horrifying to say the least. Then I just wanted to get some certain games out of my system, so I went and got some XBOX LIVE points, and what did I accomplish?

-I beat the Kayran in the Witcher, very awesome boss fight that took me forever to prepare for but rewarded me with four level ups at once.
-I got Bastion and had a blast playing this interesting arcade game.
-I also got Braid, which I now see is very short and a complete rig off of super mario world... mixed with Prince of Persia. XD Does anybody else know why this game apparently doesn't have a "Level 1"? XD I starts on 2, I'm dead serious! And there is no 1 in the achivements or anything, as if the whole game is meant to make it feel like that's where his life leading up to this moment took place or something, lol.
-And last but not least I got Ashura's Wrath Chapter 4: Nirvanha, and beat episodes 19-22! It was more epic that DBZ combined with the final episode of Gurren Lagaan, I kid you not! It was that epic!

So that's kept me occupied. I have more fictions left than days in this month, so no I won't make that little quota, but I got some time this next week to get caught up. In a couple days I'll have four days off straight, so we'll see if I can get caught up during that time frame, or at least half of my shit done and in gear. XD And I suppose now is as good a time as any to reveal my secret project. As soon as some time frees up for me, like I get caught up in my fictions and beyond (somewhere over the rainbow) I intend to write an action MLP series called "Rainbow's Wrath", a unique retelling of the Ashura's Wrath story with mlp characters. It will have blow your mind action, while being rather sad in story, with an ending that will blow you all away! So here's looking forward to me having time to work on that idea soon! :D
