Preparing to re-submit Fluttersaiyan · 10:04am Mar 21st, 2015
Alright folks, all... five of you. I have rewritten the first three chapters of my old story Fluttersaiyan, as well as made a new cover image for the story. This time, effort was put into both, and the improvements can be seen clearly. Now, before I do anything I'd like to be honest for a second, when I first wrote the story and submitted the entire thing here 3 years ago, I had absolutely no fucking idea what I was doing. It was literally the first story I had written ever, and at just over 60,000 words, it was clear it was something I not only enjoyed, but something I gave a shit about and was serious about, however, I didn't know what the fuck I was doing.
At the time I couldn't see why I got the criticism I did, but, 3 years later, it is incredibly obvious what I did wrong. Because I want to animate and make cartoons, I made it a little too simple, too cartoony and silly, the main character was way too "Mary Sue". Of course, these are things I learned and saw Three fucking years later, no thanks to the critics I attracted, and I use critic loosely. But I learned these things regardless, and I improved my skills, by literally not writing or doing anything for 3 years, as hard as that might be to believe (yes kids, apparently, if you wanna get better at something, all you gotta do is not practice for a while like me). Of course that can't be true, but that is the case with me.
Anyway, enough stalling, why the fuck am I hesitant to re-upload? Well, two things... One, Dragon Ball Z. Considered by some to be the most popular anime because of it's general style and genre, many think it is the worst thing ever, and only for stupid little children or even man-children. Well I was a stupid little child who grew up with it, and now that I've grown up into a stupid 20 something, it still has a place in my heart, which is why I wrote this thing anyway. Two, refer back to number one. People will hate the story regardless of how well I re-wrote it, because DBZ. Now, though, there is less humor and a more serious tone... Kinda. Either way, the story is not the same from 3 years ago, and even though this new one is miles better, I'm a bit scared a few (like, literally only 3 people) will remember the old one when they see the new one and have preconceived opinions.... I hope nobody remembers the old one.
So, without further ado, lets cross our fingers, open 'er up, and see what this motherfucker can do, shall we? Thank you all.
