Anyone else a fan fiction writer or is it just me?

@booksmusicanime

My main income is from writing, so I write whatever the customers ask me to. One time I wrote the script for a Sailor Moon/Power Rangers crossover comic, would that class as fan-fiction?

Also I tend to get asked to write a lot of Star Wars stories too, although they usually involve OCs rather than principles.

I really hate trolls I really do.

@vancexentan

I love trolls. All their screaming and illogical ranting makes them so much easier to pick out in a crowd when you're trying to aim.

...that must've taken a bit of time to make.

@vancexentan

Ten minutes for the writing, five trawling the 'net for an appropriate image and the map I already had from the Interest thread opening. :)

[vancexentan]

A pet peeve of mine is bad opening posts: I dislike seeing a poor opening post after going through the effort of making a character it's really aggravating.

@McHaggis
At the moment none of them are up anywhere because I'm rewriting everything.

@vancexentan

Given the time it takes to write a decent post, doing anything less is unforgivable. We even have the option to edit posts once they're up, and often I'll read over what I've just posted and make minor corrections for sentence structure and clarity before letting it be.

Also little touches like artwork, use of colour and formatting can help a lot when writing in this medium. THe tools are there, we may as well make best use of them. :)

[vancexentan]

I once spent about two or three hours typing up a post with twenty thousand or so letters in it just to make my opening post amazing. Granted a large chunk of that was devoted to my character's opening and explaining his universe (multiverse roleplay) but it still shows that I went the extra mile to try to make my character good.

[Adorabadass]

You gotta put the effort in. It takes like 7 mins to make a shit post. But a good post takes dedication.

And I write as well, fantasy action stuff with a lot of lgbt characters. :)

[CAS1006]

@vancexentanPff... I'm called a lot of things.

But you need to take things with a grain of salt.
Like I'm a snide, cynical, sarcastic. (Said it a million times.) And I say just ignore it if it bothers you.
You do not seem "autistic". I know people who seem "autistic." And mostly because they have egos the side of blimps.

As far as I know, you're a very competent guy. I did used to be your GM~ So I would know Lightning Baron~

[vancexentan]

It's not that they bother me as they piss me off due to the fact that they having nothing better to do and I'm generally considered an awesome guy by many people. It also bothers me how many of them there are. As for the character you referencing I don't quite remember him doing anything particularly special.

[CAS1006]

@vancexentanThe Lightning Baron was a character you used; he was a state alchemist who used lightning, and wore a mask. He was quite adamant of giving the shock treatment.~

As for the amount of people? You learn to deal with all kinds of criticism.

my ex

Reagan was just a terrible person who was a greedy bastard. A lazy comic artist who's laziness proceeds Akira Toryama. In fact, he is so lazy about his art that he never attempts to do anything past one shooting of a scene; what that means is he will do the panels, but if he fucks up anatomy? Oh well. If he fucks up dialog? Oooh welll.

Like seriously, I dated the fucker for a year and I was undermined 80% of the time. The other 20% of the time he was talking shit to my face. By that I mean he was lying, and I'd call him out, all the time. "Chris, why must you be difficult?"
"Why do you have to fucking lie 24/7 like there is no tomorrow?"
"..."
He is trash. Like, I sacrificed a 100$ gift he wanted to get me so he could get an art tablet. Easily made 2000$ of work thanks to my sacrifice, still treats me like shit. Like I never asked for anything but honesty. I know him better than anyone, and I was challenged over it. When I exposed the truth, he took a 100$ commission over me vs my loyalty.

Ashton and Melissa

Don't get me started on these shit heads. Ashton was very obsessive with me... I dislike urban qualities such as jargon and slang. It is a huge peeve I have. Like, I'm a respecting person, but any time I was bothered about something, he knew, and I'd keep to myself. He'd flip his shit like it was his trouble to worry about, this bothered me. Like, my life is my own. He was upset I even dated Reagan. Got mad if I even mentioned I was taken. Then bitches I have to censor myself so he is less cranky? Just no. I'm a human fucking being, not your pet, not your bitch. I have my own life thank you very much.

"I keep an eye on my pack."
No, you don't. They are disorganized and lack the background check you give about them. In short, flakes, fake people who are nothing but a fart in the wind.
I'm a stray if those are his "pack". But ehh...

Melissa is just a girl who fakes disabilities so she can try to blame you for anything. You can see how this gets annoying real fast. "You're talking to him as if he is your equal? HOW DARE YOU!" stfu. Go take your placebo crazy pills.
Fucking whore was cheating on him the entire time too.

So guess who came quite literally crying to me upon discovery saying I was right about everything?
This one man started so much drama because I was dating someone. Could talk mad shit, But I say one thing and he flips out. Don't fucking preach to me if you cannot handle criticism yourself.

Hell, I mention I had a bf once and he goes on about how he does not flaunt his gf.
Then proceeds to flaunt her upon every conversation and wonders why I walk away because of hypocrisy.

As you can read I know the nicest people apparently and should be ashamed to be a strong individual. Because "fuck conforming to bs." says I.

[vancexentan]

Yes I know who the Baron was and what roleplay he was in. What I said is he did nothing of note in the roleplay due to it's short length. The most he did was manage to escape from a couple of big bads by magnetizing the floor.

Also I'm sorry to hear that you have to deal with those people.

[Adorabadass]

@vancexentan

Criticism's a fact of life. Not all of it warranted.

Sometimes it is. Like I would be a shit soldier if I ignored all of the sheer criticism I got. I was a constant fuck up at first, so I took the info I was getting and worked with it.

Meanwhile, sometimes people are criticising just because they have issues. Like the guy that called you 'autistic'. Basically anyone who throws around mental disorders as insults is beneath your time.

I had a drill sergeant in basic that was the useless kind of criticism for me. He tried to get me kicked out of the army cuz he thought I was weird. Luckily, that was a retarded reason and nothing came of it. It might have gone south but I think my platoon drill sergeants protected me.

@CAS1006

Oh, yeah, you know great people lol. Your ex sounds way worse than mine. Mine just sorta led me on for a few weeks before cheating on me with his ex gf before I confronted him about it and he went back to her. This was right after I got back from Basic Training, mind you, so that was kind of a shitty way to start off.

[CAS1006]

@vancexentan Don't be sorry for me, I handled them fine~
Reagan fears me for good reason.
> Probably because I know how to ruin revenue if I opened my mouth.

> Ash is Ash, a fool.

@AdorabadassOnly the best~

[Genni]

The worst breakup I've ever had was my fault. Some bad shit happened to me and I kinda imploded for a time, taking out everything around me in the process.

The second worst came when I moved in with a girl. We managed to get a house together and were sharing the rent but a month later she suddenly turns around and tells me she's leaving since her rent money was coming from her parents and they said if she didn't dump me they'd cut her off.

We'd been together for two years and in all that time she hadn't told them about me at all, and when they found out they dropped the axe on us. Within a week I found myself single and homeless, but luckily I had some good friends who helped me out until I got back on my feet (one of whom I'm now married to. :D)

[vancexentan]

Let's just say we've all had bad relationship problems.

[Genni]

@vancexentan And good ones too, I hope. :)

[vancexentan]

I've had my moments...before they crumbled down miserably into one giant heap.

[Adorabadass]

@Genni

Good relationship problems? ;p

Glad things worked out for you though. It sucks to be single and homeless man.

[CAS1006]

@vancexentan I acctully am in a good one. We are in 6 months by the end of the week.

I like dorky people- smart as well.

Then again I doubt you like pretty boys. XD

[vancexentan]

Considering I'm a guy as well yes indeed.
