lol @ the two auto-downvotes. get a life, you dweebs. <gilda-face>

7418503 it's an homage to bpNichol, friend. just google it for more info. but please stop acting like it's an 'error'. it's not. it's a deliberate choice, and i'm really sick of people acting like it's not intentional IT IS. jesus.

7418549 Doesn't matter who it's a homage to, it looks stupid.

I thought you were tops at one point when it came to writing.

I guess maybe you've lost that luster. I still like you, Darf.

7418581 i had no idea you were so ignorant, friend. sorry i misjudged you as someone who could perceive worth.

7418604 if you don't like this story then you don't like my writing. take your condolences elsewhere.

7418644 it's the title/a quote from a Tao Lin poem. also if you read the story... well. anyway.

7418581 are you just cranky because i've said hi to everyone i used to know and not you? it's because you're still a sex-obsessed little pissant. go piss somewhere else.

7418734 A. This isn't how you talk to your readership.

B. This is probably the exact wrong place for intellectual posturing. The general climate here isn't one of higher arts appreciation, and your behavior in light of that is going to cement that attitude further.

7418770 i can talk to my readership however i want. get banned, fuckface. eat a million dicks.

7418770 THERE'S AT LEAST ONE STRING ON YOU NOW KEEPING FROM COMMENTING ON MY PAGE. SUCK IT, LOSER

7418847
you've become really pathetic

i don't give a fuck if every person in existence downvotes this story. "I am not singing for you" - Conor Oberst. i wrote this story for my friend Robin and my friend Orbus and all my patrons. so if you read it and you don't like it, tell me. but be polite and constructive, or i'll treat you like i treated the two fucksticks in the comments above me. fucksticks. like dicks. you are human dicks. good riddance.

fuck it, i'll even downvote my own story. SUCK IT, UNIVERSE. C'EST NE PAS UN PIPE, FUCKERS.

7418849 says you, i'm having tons of fun! :D

if you thot your downvote made me mad, i have a sad reality for you; yours. where you're an unemployed brony bitching at 'darf' on Fimfiction. THIS IS YOUR LIFE, INTERNET. WELCOME TO IT.

No it's pretty much always been like this.

7418890 listen to this man, he speaks the truth! i've always been an obnoxious shitcunt. ask knighty, he'll tell you too. :D

Yeah I've noticed the general lack of togetherness from the fandom that MLP is supposed to be based on. Thankfully I only care about the opinions of 6 people on this site. Makes it less bothersome to worry about everyone else.

Wow, I'm really ashamed. I used to really respect you darf, but seeing how you're acting here? Jeeze. I just don't even know anymore.

7419103 oh no, i lost the respect of some random commenter.

if you're not a patron, get off my story. if you are a patron, take your money back, you're human waste to me. wasteman, fam! your mum does push-ups with buckets of kfc chicken! :scootangel:

7419103 aaaaaaaaaaand BLOCKED. tee hee! :3

You know, I used to look up to you, darf. You used to be a really talented author with a great voice for telling a story and an excellent grasp on wordplay and the English language in general. I really enjoyed your work immensely, even the not-porn stuff. You weren't really the most personable sort, but at the very least you treated your audience with some measure of respect and mutual interest in horse fuckery words. The poetry collaboration you did with several fimfiction authors was an incredible experience and I'm really happy I was able to have it. It's really sad to see that you've abandoned all of that and become a pretentious, holier-than-thou jerk to everybody who disagrees with your artistic vision. As I'm writing this, you're probably finishing up the tantrum you were having earlier, so I hope you look at this message with somewhat of a clear head and realize how much of an immense ass you've become and how much respect you've lost in my eyes. I know that my respect means nothing to you, since otherwise you wouldn't have made an incredibly immature and laughable attempt to insult me, but think of the respect of your readership as a whole you've lost with this entire embarrassing outburst.

All of this over "thot". I appreciate your attempt to make your work more artsy and meaningful, but you can't really do that just by intentionally misspelling a word because a poet did it. What may work in the realms of poetry may not work in the world of literature– our expectations as readers are entirely different and, while there is still a great deal of flexibility in how we authors can express ourselves, we're subject to a few rules. We have expectations for what we read and the way that it is written. We have needs as readers to be able to read your work as a story, not as a piece of art. This isn't even digging into the misguided assumption that lifting elements from writers greater than you makes your work better, which seems to be one of the primary motivations behind your use of "thot". What does "thot" add to the story? What does it contribute to the work besides making it "different" and "against the grain"? How does it affect the way that the story is told besides giving you an opportunity to scream obscenities and insults at people who don't understand whyever on earth you would choose to misspell "that"?

I haven't even read the story yet. For all I know, despite your insistence upon using an "artistic spelling" that instead annoys an audience that tends to expect proper English spelling, it may be pretty good. But your attacks upon myself and other people in this thread really show how defensive you are of this work. Sure, it's a gift, and you really love the person you sent it to, and you really want people to like it as much as they do. But you're not making it about them and how they feel about it– you're turning this gift into something about you, something about how people dislike you personally, erasing the person who this was intended for in the first place. I wanted to think that we could be friendly with one another, but now I'm not sure if you're capable of being anybody's friend, and on a website that's dedicated to a show where the subject is friendship, that's deeply ironic, and not in the "lol ironic" sense, but in the bitter, toxic sense that makes people really sad.

You don't need to apologize to me. I have a feeling that, if you're a feeling person, you'll feel bad about this whole outburst already. Maybe we can find an avenue where we can talk about it in greater, more mutually respectful detail. Until then, I can only hope that you don't delete all of the comments or do something drastic like that. There are plenty of people here who seem to appreciate you as an author, if not this particular piece, before you went nuts and started flinging insults everywhere. Skill with the English language and bookwormish habits a great author does not make, but appreciation, not only for the art, but for the people who took the time out of their lives to see what you had to say, is what makes the truly great author.

tl;dr

EDIT: I'm pretty certain that you're actually trolling people at this point but I'm leaving this up just in case, because even if it is a joke, "I WAS ONLY PRETENDING TO BE RETARDED" doesn't work on me.

7419156 you just wrote an essay about why i'm a 'sad man' because i use the word 'thot'. look in the mirror, friend. the reflection isn't pretty. :x

7419253 actually I think he just wrote an essay about why you're a 'sad man' because you're being really lame

7419253

You missed the point of the "essay" entirely. The fact that you use "thot" is less important to me than how you've responded to your audience disliking your work. I doubt this would have the ratings ratio it has right now if you hadn't decided to take a "fuck the audience" attitude towards the people who are reading your work. Saying "fuck you" to the audience is the worst sin you can make in any medium. I understand if you might be frustrated with the fact that people here aren't as well-read and intellectual as you may consider yourself to be, but you have to realize that, whether you like it or not, these people enjoy your work. They are the lifeblood of what makes it successful, of what makes the overarching statement that the work is making travel through people.

In regards to "thot": you have made the mistake that much modern art makes in literature form. You have sacrificed readability for the sake of making a post-modern statement that, ultimately, is tantamount to nothing. Ultimately this matters little because even with that eccentric detail it's very likely this work is better than 95% of the derivative drivel that gets posted on this site. The likes/dislikes ratio has more to do with you boorish attitude than it does with the quality of your work.

At this point you're being petulant and nasty for the sake of being petulant and nasty. That's a really awful place to be.

I can't help but see the description as emo ish which is fine but I don't think vinyl is emo

7418549 Man, I'm sorry. I didn't know that it was an homage, though it makes sense considering the rest of the story has perfect spelling, grammar, etc. BTW, Kyubey seems to be a fitting avatar for you.

7419440 if you think 'thot' decreases readability then you're not a very good reader. maybe you should go back to Dr. Seuss?

7419440 aaaaaaaaaaaand BLOCKED. take your shitty opinion about my shitty writing elsewhere. shit-face.

7419440 i'm being petulant and nasty when people are little cunts to me on the internet. like you.

"omg, you misspelled a word by one letter, THIS IS UNREADABLE GARBAGE."

get off your high horse and go imagine fucking one instead, since that seems to be your modus operandi. i'll be as caustic as i want, and if people are going to say "this guy's an asshole, his story sucks", then they don't understand how to separate author from work, and therefore probably should go read Anna Karenina before they try post-post-modernism again.

ignorance frustrates me. people coming onto my story and telling me it is 'bad' and i am 'bad' because of one simple misspelling annoys the FUCK out of me. it is on every story. imagine every time you woke up and went for a walk in the morning, your neighbour chimed to you, "actually, it's 'whom'". you'd probably punch them in the face. so that's what i'm doing. badmouth my writing with no substantial evidence other than your shitty uneducated opinion about being locked in a pony echo chamber where no one even writes real fiction or knows what anything is unless you show it to them in a cartoon about little ponies, and i'll bitch at you. i'm a little bitch.

and i couldn't care less if this story was downvoted ten million times. i already said that. shame on everyone who would rather spend their time arguing w/ me in the comments than actually reading what i wrote. you are the problem with this site. i am also, but you already knew that. and every site needs a villain. are you going to tell Captain Hook to 'lighten up'? nope! fuck you all. let us away, Smee, nyah!~ :derpytongue2:

7420075

Are you saying it's the reader's fault when your stylistic choice breaks immersion?

Been a while since I read through a good banme thread.

7420398 i don't want a reader who's so stupid they get distracted by a mispelling.

7420086 Again, you're missing the point. This isn't really about your "stylistic choice". It's about how you're reacting like a sorry sack of asshole to a simple criticism. I sincerely hope this isn't how you act in real life, and if it is, please seek help

Did... did I just witness a face heel turn?

7420676 nope, i only act this way on fimfiction because it's a pool of autistic manbabies, so i figure, "When in Rome..." :pinkiehappy:

7420484

If you didn't want people to stop and notice how you're using your language, then why did you do something that would stand out so much? Are you trying to be artsy with your prose, or are you trying to tell a story? You've put yourself in a position where you can't do both.

7420086 Dude taking a 'fuck you' attitude with the audience is only going to get peoples backs up. Try digging around and finding out why the story is being negatively received. Nearly every writer on here knows the frustration of readers being pricks. But blowing up about it simply adds fuel to the flames. In the end the readers decide if our work is good or not. I don't think the story is terrible personaly but your attitude leaves much to be desired.

In short don't be a prick.

7420086 That's some good copypasta you made there, damn!

7420928 If you think this place is so terrible, then feel free to leave. I can assure you that no one will mind.

I fucking loved the story. The dream like progression of words and the stream-of-consciousness and the way it flowed, more like a poem than prose. Please, go on.

7422568 dude, you guys still haven't figured out how good shit tastes? what a bunch of dummies! :3

7422562 upvoted. read your comment. loved it. masterpiece. bravo. encore. the entertainment of the millennium! :rainbowkiss:
