Oi. Don't think like that. Get some rest and get your thoughts straightened. I guarantee that you'll feel better soon.

This isn't a mood fit. Things like this do jump out at me occasionally, but this one's been creeping up for a while. I've tried napping it off to no avail.

Hi, bye.

Mmh, would quoting that one fanfic out of your recommendation list be somewhat relevant..
"Sometimes the best musicians just need a little silence."
Just apply that to other artists. ^-^

And yeah, what Coffer said.

See my reply below.

Maybe taking a little break wouldn't be such a bad idea?

No. I've been at this for almost an entire goddamn year now and I've got bugger all to show for it. All I've got is a couple thousand words (not that much) on GDocs and some ideas in my head. That's it. You could lop off one of my hands and I'd still have enough leftover fingers to count how many people here would actually still be interested in reading my story if I ever finish it (which will be many months more, I'm sure).

Doesn't help that the number of people who remember me here has dwindled drastically, much less people who are actually interested in what I do/say/whatever. Too busy cranking "timbits" further up my list of "Words to say that annoy me instantly, regardless of context", or--well, I'll be honest--fanboying over FO:E. I know, I know, I fanboy over Okami, what's the deal.

I don't make video games (currently). I write ponyfic'. And seeing FO:E's fandom go about its business drives me nuts, because as a person of a highly competitive nature, what that says to me is that I've failed. Ooo, sure, I've got a couple heartfelt e-mails and some cool fanwork. It's basically nothing next to FO:E's.

Oh, and on top of that, my fellow livereaders who typically assist in my writing appear to give next to zero damns about my story (one of them is in a funky situation at the moment, but the other two...:/). That helps too. They'll say stuff if I ask them to, but I don't feel their enthusiasm, and I don't feel them getting pulled into and engrossed in the story in the same way that I would get riveted by a story I love. It's the same way I approach people. I won't make first contact (unless you really stand out in my eyes) and I won't beat people over the head with my work. I want to know that they're interested in it because they find it interesting, not just because I want them to be interested in it.

This is relevant. (@Shae' - Here's 'the thing': I wrote that story.)

This kind of one-shot-wonder thing has happened to me before in numerous different fields, and every time I've eventually given up on my next-up project because I just feel too washed up. I was hoping writing would be different.

Am I the only one who actually looks at the last post of a page?
(I'll stop f5ing now)

I do. I always F5 before I reply, and if I'm actively posting, I make sure I don't miss any posts.

Recall the creator of said picture posting it here earlier today.
Also mentioned that Tara reblogged the picture or something.

I've lost motivation to even quote at this point.

I do read last posts on each page.

Hope you feel better soon Klocko.

I don't understand that video Shaed.

Well that honestly sucks.
I can't be much help with this fanfic thing. It's rare that I'll sit down to read one and even then I like my fanfics being horribly gory.
From what I know those aren't the kind of fanfics you write.

Competition is a horrible thing and there's not much I can suggest that can make you feel better. However I would never throw talents away, they're too rare to let go of.

But are R63 Blossom Twins legion?

Hey Goriq! I'm fine. A little tired, obviously, since I just got up. You?

snip.

I'm aware of your annoyance over the FO:E fandom, since I remember you talking about this earlier, and I'm also aware of you writing Black and White. (Yes, I can read the "Author" part. :> )
I should probably get around to reading it, I quite enjoyed some of the fics on your list but I'm still in the middle of the reading process since it is after all quite a list.
But I'd imagine there's also the factor that Fallout itself has quite a large fanbase, which naturally directly has an effect on FO:E's fanbase.

Not sure if my words help at all or anything since I'm really a crappy talker. (heck, I'm a crappy everything. )
Buut I hope (as usual, me and my damn optimism) that things'll turn out the best for you and you'll find new inspiration to draw and write, get better in both and manage to create more great stories.

Heya Drek. What's up?

I dunno why but your signature makes me think dirty thoughts.
