This page used to be your standard fan wankfest about how I needed to write and how these stories reflected the essence of my heart and how I suffered to produce my art and so on. 'Struth is, there is a lot of stuff on these pages which was not written out of any great profound emotional inspiration but because I was a moron and I used to think it was cool to quote the Bible and poetry and shit in fics and act like I was writing a Profound Work of Art (tm) which was saying something really important, even if it was about a video game, even if neither the reader nor the author could figure out what the hell was so profound and deep about it. I also freely admit that at one point I was hanging around with a lot of people who were a bad influence on my writing, and made me feel neurotically competitive, until the point where I literally could not write anything at all and hated every word I typed because it wasn't pretentious-fan-wank enough, and I lost all semblance of a real desire and need to tell stories I had ever possessed in the first place. Suffice it to say that I met some blessed people who helped me realize that there were much better ways to get self-esteem than getting fangirls to suck my proverbial cock based solely on the fact that I can use big words in my stories, even if I have jack-all to say with them. I have real friends now. I might start clearing all the old, bad crap that I honestly do not personally care for (ie. "On the Edge of Night"), even if it passed fanwank standards, into a section of its own, like the Scrap Pile stuff, if at some point I can get enough new stuff written that the page wouldn't be too bare without it. I also decided to screw the ratings, because really, we're all mature folk here (I hope), and I am not going to babysit people who come here to read these fanfics. I think it's condescending to the readers. That all said, if you're still reading, jump on in. |
