Q/A · 11:27am Jan 14th, 2015
Because of the return of the account, I am pleased to announce a Q/A today. Please, post any and all questions you have in the comments below by the end of the day, and I will attempt to answer as many as I can. Thank you, and I look forward to any and all questions.

Would you like a balloon?

What kind of story are you guys going to write? HiE, slice of life, action/adventure, etc.?
Though a member of this account, I have my own question for you, "GS". Why did it have to be this account? You have about the same number of followers on your own account, and you know how much of a train wreck this account was in the past. So, why choose an account that would doom the project to failure from the start?
(Also, why are you still abbreviating? I specifically asked all of you to not do that!)
I have four questions, if you wish to bear with me.
1. Who are the other three of you, if you're willing to divulge? (Given his conduct in a previous blog towards a friend of mine, and my others by extension, I hope GS isn't Golden Script.)
2. Are you going to actually monitor your more volatile correspondent's behavior and writing? I really want to believe you want to steer the Mister Citadel account in a new direction.
3, What's everyone's stance on the retroactive application of critical input once your new pet project goes live? Will you be willing to make changes if they need to be made?
4. I understand your desire for an audience for your first story, but why risk immediate defamation by associating it with such a toxic account in the first place?
2722243 I'd have to say action type. ~GS
2722275 Let me ask YOU a question: Why do you doubt me so much? ~GS
2722278 #4 was the whole reason I didn't want to use the account. But I can answer #4 for you: the number of followers. That's the entire reason "GS" demanded I give them access to this infamous account. Worst of all is that "GS" has just about as many followers on his own account. He could've donated his own, but he said it had to be this stupid account. I still want a better answer than that, myself, though. "GS", please give me a better reason than the number of followers.
2722287 Closing this account after the backlash your story received was one of your smartest moves yet, Dolphy. I'm not afraid to credit you for knowing when to fold 'em
eventually. I was really hoping their decision had more to it than "LOOK TRIPLE DIGITS!"2722278
1. I can give you initials, but for now I'm trying to keep a lid on who's asscociated with this. Also bear in mind, all four of us have histories tied into this account. Here are the initials: GS (No, it's not Golden Script), LR, SFC and of course DBD.
2. Yes, I will monitor interactions based from this account and make sure everyone is in line. I tend to have a lot of pull with Dolphy, as well as the rest of the group.
3. Most of us are members of a famous (Or infamous in some people's eyes) review group. We'll be able to take that critisim to heart, and apply it where it's needed.
4. I wanted an independent account for this project, one that the members of the group could access without having to worry about their accounts being fucked up if things turned to shit inside the group. Also, I'm considering it good will towards DBD.

2722283 I don't doubt you, I doubt your judgement on picking this account. It's a bad idea. A very bad idea. Fallen Prime pointed out that the account is toxic, and I have to agree wholeheartedly. I don't want to use this account for this, but you wouldn't take no for an answer. So please, enlighten me: why use this account? The number of followers is no excuse. This account is infamous. You'd better have a very good reason for this account being your choice.
2722296 I have my reasons, you want to duke it out then take it to the Skype Chat. ~GS
2722295 ...I think I recognize two of those now. The mention of the review group only cements it further. And I'm sure the other one would come back to me as well if I go back through some Skype logs.
Goddammit, you guys, I thought you were done...
2722300 The ride never ends Prime

2722307 I really hope this shit's worth even MORE trouble.
2722310 Trust me, I intend for no trouble. In fact, I just solved some internal trouble. :D

And to add a fifth question: Could you please leave again? I liked you a lot more when you were gone, in much the same way that I would enjoy being over a particularly bad case of influenza.
2722329 Believe me, I wish I could answer yes to that question. I really do. But I'm outvoted three to one on that, so I can't. I don't want to use this account, but the only way they'll let the project be posted to FiMFiction is on this account. If it were my decision alone, I'd answer yes immediately.
2722329 I know who these three are, Robot, and even if only in passing, I'm sure you know them too. I share your sentiment; this is a bad idea.
