Fanfiction Writers -- The Unloved and Unappricated
Ah, Mediaminer -- there has to be a rule about packing so many anime fans into one site. You just end up with a critical mass of wank.

Disclaimer: I did make a few posts in thread, but nothing really wanky.

So, anyways, Akuma64 posts an e-mail from a fellow writer who has decided to quite writing fanfiction:


Due the hate and predijuice I get from www.fanfiction.net, and for offending a fellow author, I decided to take down all of my fanfics and requesting to have my account there cancel. And I also have decided to never make another fanfic ever again. Once ff.net answers my request I will also my accounts in other fanfic sites cancel as well. So that everyone will be happy and will never have to put up with my idiocy and my immaturity ever again.

If anyone actually wants my unfinished or complete work, please let me know.
Although I don't think you should give up just because of some jerk, I would like to see what you got.

The general forum response is that of confusion. Mari offers a possible explanation (note this for later):

Maybe it's because she feels bad for offending that author for not accepting his/her help and realize that she is unworthy and immature to make anymore fanfics

Mari later (three posts down) confesses that she is the author in the e-mail, and goes on to elaborate that she mistook a review another author in her sub-genre (anti-fiancee Ranma fic) gave her for a flame, and thus is unworthy to write fanfiction. Rational proposals from other forumgoers are rejected in the name of woe-is-me 'I will never write again, though I love it so' old-fashioned wangst.

Unfortunately passing the mark of eighteen doesn't make you magically able to deduce things logically without throwing major hissy fits.

That whininess really is something else. I really don't get why everyone keeps being so nice to her.

Also, bonus points for putting the critic on the spot:
Thanks for the vote of confidence, but unless this author http://www.fanfiction.net/profile.php?userid=31212 8 forgives me, I may never write again., complete with posting private email. If you like you can e-mail her and hear her side of the story. Hehe.

I also liked this: This is the most heartbreaking decision I have ever made It killed me when I removed all of my work from www.fanfiction.net I wish I could go back to fanfic writing again I want to go back to fanfic writing again But if I do then The Nameless Author will never forgive me and be my friend (The Nameless Author is the author she conveniently linked before.)
Plus she's a fellow Akane hater. And when I insult another Akane hater, that makes me a traitor ... huh?
My problem is that on my last response to The Nameless Author is that I told her that I'll take down all of my fanfics and never to write again If I went back on my word then she'll think of my as a hypocryte and a lier Plus everyone will think that I'm doing this just to get attention. They'll be saying things like "I knew she wouldn't last", "She always trying to be the center of attention", "Always the Drama Queen", "She is such a cry-baby", "She says that she'll never write again but she won't commit to that promise." And every cruel thing they can think of I don't want to go through all that
... it just doesn't end. Thank God she's not a crybaby ...
And all those sad smileys are PISSING ME OFF!

... err, yeah.

Because your decisions to write fanfic should always be based on someone else liking you. *rolls eyes*

*Snerk*

After reading that my first though was 'Wow what a manipulative little bitch'.

Gotta give her credit the whole 'I can't write because this person I barely won't ever forgive me' is a better tactic then just plain whining about how they were mean to her.

Your icon is dancing to 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling', Tony Christie version. Oh wait, I've just put Queen on: he's dancing to that as well. :-D

They'll be saying things like "I knew she wouldn't last", "She always trying to be the center of attention", "Always the Drama Queen", "She is such a cry-baby", "She says that she'll never write again but she won't commit to that promise." And every cruel thing they can think of

Well, they will be now. Y'know what else they'll say? "She can't spell."

He's dancing to everything you want him to. He's easy.

They'll also say: "Thank God she stopped writing fic, now she only needs to leave fandom."

I won't say every cruel thing I can think of though, I don't have the time.

Bah, I am a fanfiction author. FF.bitch and MM.org are irritating enough... Can't we all just laugh at some of the stupidity in these places? Do we have to whine and cry? Apparently, this person needs to remember her meds.
