Why I don't take kind to forums of criticism. · 7:33pm Nov 29th, 2021
I don't really have too much of a problem with pointing out grammar issues or spelling errors (WITHOUT... Hostility)
But I don't like to take people's suggestions because...
-They are not what I'm looking for...
-I don't like it...
-They destroy what I have planned...
-They will not matter anyway...
For example... someone suggested to me this...
There's really a lot you could do with this idea. One of my favorite genres of movies/stories/whatever is when characters are stuck in a room or other confined situation and have to figure out how to escape, so, believe me when I say I see there's potential in what you're trying to do here. It can make for some great storytelling, but the whole appeal in that genre is coming up with how your characters might try to go about that. Twilight solving a problem the same way Alan Tracy solves the problem isn't as interesting as Twilight solving the problem in a distinctly Twilight manner.
POTENTIAL is one thing... INTENTIONS or DESIRES are two other things.
This... is Twilight Sparkle; the most ridiculous, ignorant, and stupidest character I have ever had the privilege to encounter.
I came to Equestria to make her life a living hell, both physically and emotionally. (In other words, I take pride and pleasure when she suffers and fails, or doesn't get a happy ending.)
Therefore, when she gets stuck in a situation, I like to make her so incredibly pathetic, THERE'S NO WAY she can escape without a miracle or outside help.
Making her the hero again, or having her successfully solve a problem, and earn her happy ending really makes me angry.
Just like people yakking at me in THE END OF ENDS.
"By letting Flurry Heart live, you are showing you have morals."
...No. I'm showing weakness and stupidity; that I'm not willing to go to lengths to demonstrate my will and power in this fanfiction, and really let the characters have it. (Morals have no meaning in a fic like that one) And by letting Flurry live what then I have no desire to make her important in the fic, no matter what the potential or how great it is. It also won't matter, the fic would still be downvoted regardless.
This proves you are a better person as you do take responsibility for your actions instead of making excuses.
No, it doesn't, nor does it absolve you.
Fics like...
MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING GIFT
THE CHILD OF HEARTHS WARMING
COMMON SENSELESS
...I can't stand them, because Twilight and her friends are not getting thrashed about, they are solving problems and STILL earning their happy endings.
...Makes me so enraged that I will tolerate no praise, no good comments, heck... even I myself downvote the CRAP fics.
Most people who commented nice on it... I chucked them out (Deleted their reviews and/or blocked them)
Hey, you people keep saying...
"What decent person would like Mykan's fics"
"We thumb down their comments cuz we know retardation when we see it."
...Well, I'm simply returning fire, and showing how unjust I can be.
My recent fnafic... "ONE LAST HEARTH'S WARMING"... Since it has no real happy ending, and while Twilight's not getting thrashed, at least I still crushed her holiday spirit because a friend of hers passed away.
...That's good enough for me.
Just like whenever I use STRINGS in fics. He's not really hostile towards Twilight and the others (if he is, it is not without justification because he is tired of them butting into his life and trying to change him or tell him what to do... because THEY want it)
Even though Twilight is still not getting balked at much, the ending is not happy, and she and the others are crushed slightly.
...Good enough for me.
So... other than Grammar and spelling errors (without hostility)
...The Constructive Criticism (if it is) will do no good.
...There will be no peace.
There may be potential, and certain greatness, but my main reasons for making these fics is for vengeance, steam blowing, and stress control...
...Not to have fun (Same applies for video games)
-Get a job to make money, not friends or a social life.
-Get a driver's license to shut people up, not have freedom
-Stay in school because it's the law, not for pursuits
-Read because because you are required to, not out of interest.
