Even I Got Offender And I Don't Know Who Tf The Anon Was Talking About....

even I got offender and I don't know who tf the anon was talking about....

Im not prev but it probably wasn’t Spooks fic, I’ve read it and it was pretty good/interesting even if her pacing was a little wonky at times and she don’t update very often. It was probably somewon else. I know I’ve seen another one where they used pantheon, a onshot on Ao3 i think? It was pretty dark, with heavy gore themes and mind fuckery. Spook’s fic… tries to be scary n suspenseful but idk if she do it very well tbh. No hate against her ofc, it just feels out of placeingly self indulgent.? Like Nightmare would not act like that lol, yknoe? She’s gotten odly popular despite that tho, so kudus to her. I think her fics called ‘monsters of the dark’ or smth idk. I keep tryn to give her advise but she don’t answer despite saying she always answers asks, pretty odd if youd ask me🤔

Anyway love your AU and all the original ideas you got, long time fan👋 keep up the good work man. We need better writers like youself 💪🔥

-long fan anon 💥

anon... for signing your message with "long time fan", i have to admit, it seems like you've had a critical misunderstanding about me and how i feel about storytelling. i'm not mad, but since you brought this to my inbox looking for my opinion, i'm going to give it to you:

1: fandom is a hobby. it is amateur in the truest sense of the word - someone who does something for free simply because they love to do it. none of us are getting into publishing houses, and furthermore, that level of quality is very rarely achievable by only one person.

2: as i said here more in-depth, the thing that makes our stories truly unique is the fact that they're self-indulgent. your own preferences and interests are the most unique thing you bring to the table; if you're not using them, you're just hashing out someone else's interests using disney's dryass 3-step "guaranteed-to-sell" formula. and to be frank, regurgitating that formula ad-fucking-nauseam is a one-way ticket to the worst sin a story can possibly achieve, far more than being boring, clichéd, derivative, repetitive or badly-written: being soulless.

3: my version of nightmare is no more canon or "correct" or "in-character" than hers or anyone else's. in fact, if you want to talk about in-character, joku has stated that NM is a "thing", not a person - so by joku's canon, anyone who portrays him in any sort of sympathetic light at all is portraying him "incorrectly". and to be quite frank... i find that horrifically boring. if someone wants to make him sickeningly sweet, of course, i would personally prefer if i could see how he got from point A to point B... but ultimately, if it's not my story, why should i give a damn if it suits my tastes? it's like going to a fucking bakery and complaining about the cakes being all lemon flavored when you yourself are a baker. you can just go make your own cake!!

4: "I keep tryn to give her advise but she don’t answer" - did your advice sound anything like this ask, anon? because even i got offended reading it, and the fic isn't even mine. and far more importantly, did they ask for critique? if the answer is yes - which i doubt - did you then ask questions to find out what they wanted to achieve with their own story and give them advice to help them reach that goal? because if someone asks for critique and you respond by trying to transform the story into something you like, that's bad critique etiquette - as is, far more importantly, giving unsolicited critique to works that aren't asking for it at all.

5: cruelty ≠ critique. as i said above, to critique a work is to attempt to help the author reach their goals. no matter someone's skill level, there's always going to be something about their work that you don't personally like - and using that as fuel to be disparaging to the artist is not critique, it's cruelty. ten tantita pinche madre, man, christ

6: "she don’t update very often" - this is fandom, anon. tiktok's fast fashion treatment towards media nowadays is not indicative of how fandom really works. undertale is, what, 8 years old, now? and we're all still here for love of skeletons. what do you expect people to be doing to survive in all that time? photosynthesizing? i'd be fascinated to meet them if that was true - but personally, i have to work to get money to eat. and before that, i had to go to school or else get thrown in juvie. people've got shit to do, man.

7: "It was probably somewon else", "She’s gotten odly popular despite that tho" - if their work has gotten really popular, there's probably a reason. and not to elevate english to an undeserved standard when it's such a shit language, but i imagine - going out on a limb here - it probably has something to do with her being able to use spellcheck.

and finally, 8: in the time it's taken me to answer this ask, you have sent me MORE asks pressuring me to answer you faster. that shit does not fly on my blog, anon, and especially not after you already admitted to harassing the writer in question with unwanted, bad-form "critique" of their work. i am not so goddamn oblivious or passionate about my own interests to not notice that you're trying to use me as a soapbox, which further makes your tag as "long time fan" ridiculous - because i have made my stance on harassment quite clear.

"but keegan, you critique things all the time!", i hear you saying. "what makes your critiques so much better, huh?"

well, the thing is, anon, even if i express frustration with the original stories not going the way i had hoped they would, my worldbuilding posts are still not critiques of their source materials because i'm not going to the authors of these stories and trying to help them reach their own goals, NOR am i taking my own desires for the work and making it the author's fucking problem. instead, i'm sat over here in my own little corner doing my own thing, and furthermore regularly clarifying to the people who like my worldbuilding that my feelings on the author's work is quite positive, in fact, despite whatever qualms might drive me to take my own fanfictions in a different direction. and as a matter of fact, a significant part of the reason i made multiverse tau an au in the first place was because i knew my own vision for these characters was going to deviate so harshly from the goals their creators had expressed, and i specifically wanted to go out of my way to avoid causing confusion. i did NOT want people taking my portrayals of these characters, conflating them with the originals, and then going to make that the creator's problem. multiverse TAU is an AU where i take whatever nitpicky bullshit nothingburgers that plague my mind and i do whatever i want with them, and in doing so, ironically, i'm doing a fine job of minding my own damn business.

in short: please do not bring critique of other people's work into my inbox, and furthermore please do not admit to me that you've been harassing people, and furthermost PLEASE do not harass ME when i don't jump the gun to agree with you on the matter. again: i have made my stance on harassment abundantly clear. you are creating problems for yourself because you have nothing better to do with your life - your time (and mine, AND theirs) would be much more pleasantly spent if you could manage to find some sort of constructive hobby, instead.
