Reasons for writing (It's still a story)

MOST of us write because we actually LIKE what we write about.

I write stories because I'm angry and enraged, and I do it to relieve stress so I can think and sleep easier.

I really don't get why they should make a difference, or be ACTUAL rules of writing (You should do it this way or not at all)

OBJECTIVITY IS A GOOD THING Pft!

The fact remains that it's still making a story, regardless of the reasons, and whether you/I say it's a Good/Bad story, it's STILL a story, no matter what preferences or personal feelings we have towards it.

And just because my stories are made out of engagement and spite, that still does not mean it isn't decent. People see my stories, and all they focus on is MY personal spite for it, and then they go off and say "If you did this/that, it would be better." which is only referring to personal preferences and what THEY WANT TO SEE, despite the fact they don't really have a say over it. (It's MY story)

Let's try and look past my hate and spite, and see it from the fic's point of view.

-Starfleet season 3: I killed off Twilight...

Yes, I killed her out of spite, but it still helped the plot move along. Everyone was devastated (Especially Lightning-- she died in his arms and still is haunted a bit) Her death still helped bring out more determination in everyone, especially Lightning to fight in her memory and honor.

And it also helps me promote people struggling with emotional baggage and I can promote good and solid points.

Grand Ruler Celesto: "I don't want any of you running off on personal vendettas, or letting your emotions overtake you. Fighting in Twilight's honor and avenging her death... will not bring her back."

And even another lesson, which I'm actually proud of for once is not to MOPE over it.

This isn't like Beast Boy and Terra and THINGS CHANGE... this is about losing a loved one or a deep friend.

Moping over a breakup is one thing, at least there's still possibilities (If you want them)

But with Death, it's a different story. It is FINAL, there are no IFS, ANDS, or BUTS about it. They are gone, and they will not come back, and no amount of moping or giving up what you do or love will change that.

Also, is THAT what THEY would want you to do? Spend the rest of your life moping, or being a vegetable? No, they would want you to move on, and not let their passing or tragedy stop you.

"Just because a friend dies, doesn't mean you have to stop living." (I keep wondering if I made that up, I couldn't find it anywhere else) but it is true.

Still, look PAST my personal spite and realize the plot itself.

Let's do another one...

Season 2: Cadance is forced to kill her brother.

Yes, I do it to Spite Cadance, but on the other hand, with or without the spite... it also proves...

-Sometimes in life you have to do something you really don't want to.

No matter how much Cadance or anyone doesn't want Fratello to die... it MUST be done (There is no other way)

And also, my favorite lesson that I hammer in (Spite or not)

After Fratello is destroyed, they salvage whatever parts of the robot they can, but it's totally hopeless.

-There's no way they can get the robot working again.
-Even if they could, it wouldn't be Fratello (He's gone)
-Magic can't really bring the dead back to life
-The dead are better off left alone (Let them rest in peace)
-Think with your head, not your heart.

Again, it doesn't matter if I'm hating or not, those lessons still can be hammered in and are still part of the plot.

So don't go telling me that my reasons and lusts to fiction are WRONG (This isn't like abusing alcohol or dangerous narcotics)
