Re: Writer's Workshop General Chat Thread
Well, when I read both, I, probably along with several others, could tell their were joking. Both meant they thought it was ironic that you hung around the Pokémon fanfiction part of a Pokémon forum and disliked Pokémon fanfiction. And the smileys were they're way of showing it was a joke. Idk how you could possibly misinterpret it into such a big thing :O
Re: Writer's Workshop General Chat Thread
Like I said, I tend to misinterpret things. It's a weakness of mine and actually got me in trouble sometimes at other forums. -_-
Now let's PLEASE change the topic. Would anyone be interested in reading my upcoming MLP/Keldeo story? Even if they're not a Pony fan?

I agree. Let's move on, folks.
Re: Writer's Workshop General Chat Thread
I don't have any interest in MLP (or anything to do with it), therefore I can't comment. I hate crossovers in general. Usually, I like it to be one or the other, all Pokémon or no Pokémon
Re: Writer's Workshop General Chat Thread
i used to like mlp but got out of it quickly, and i'm not a huge fan of crossovers anyhow, but i'm sure it's very good! you did win an award after all, kelleo ^^.
anyway, art school is starting soon... i'm pretty pumped, but then again also very nervous... i mean, so many people there are probably SO much better than me. practically everyone on here is better than me LOL. ah, whatever...
basically i can't really write right now because of this huge block, so i just either fart out shitty short stories or do livestreams and draw more venty art. eh. i just haven't been feeling good in general lately. but, i'm going to new york city next week so that'll be exciting. i'm taking the opportunity to observe the city, since i've never been there before, and the fact that the devil's gift takes place in new york city so IT'LL GIVE ME A CHANCE TO BE MORE DESCRIPTIVE YAY.

Suit yourself then. I think crossovers are great.
I guess no one else is interested. I'd hate to write a story that no one will read, so...
EDIT: God, what is wrong with crossovers?! I think they sound awesome. A Zelda/FE crossover would especially be epic, imo. Also, Lady Lucifer, I already posted the plot a page ago. You can see for yourself if you think it's good or not. xP
Re: Writer's Workshop General Chat Thread
Most crossovers go exceptionally bad and most author's use them for the express purpose of making their favorite characters meet with no logical reason for the crossover. I tend to avoid crossovers just because they tend to go into realm of ridiculousness I can't stand.

So this automatically means mine is going to be terrible just because it's a crossover where I'm having Keldeo meet Rainbow Dash (not to mention they'll grow pretty close)? Great, thanks.
I'll admit, I haven't read many crossovers, but I enjoyed those I did read. You guys just must be finding bad authors. Also, this crossover isn't in writing, but Super Mario Bros. Z, which crosses over Mario with Sonic and has a few Dragon Ball Z elements, is AMAZING. It's a series on YouTube.

If you ask people for their opinions, you need to learn to accept them. You can't be like "OMG Y U NO LIEK ME IDEAZ".
And yeah, I've seen Super Mario Bros. Z. It's pretty awesome, but it's not a fic. It's animation, and that tends to please people more because it's more fluid, more live. Here, they have to take time to read and understand and etc. And like Rai said, it eventually just goes into a major downfall because things get so ridiculous and nothing makes sense. The inevitable, sadly :/

Okay, wow way to fail reading comprehension. I never once said your crossover would go bad. I explained why I personally don't like crossovers. You posted this:

And I said exactly why I dislike crossovers and what I think is wrong with the majority of them. Not everyone is out to get you and especially not me - I don't have the time for that.

And it's fine if you aren't interested in reading it. But turning it down just because it's a crossover? THAT is what I don't appreciate. You can't be like "OMG IT'S A CROSSOVER, SO THIS MUST SUK."

And who says mine will be like that? Like I said, you can't assume my story will be bad just because it's a crossover. :/
I just want people to give it a chance. But fine, if you really think this idea will be doomed, I guess I'm throwing it away.
EDIT: Who said I thought someone was out to get me? o_O
Re: Writer's Workshop General Chat Thread
If you remember, I didn't say I turned it down because it was a crossover. I turned it down because I have no care for MLP or anything to do with it. Then, I said I don't like crossovers in general.

Oh. I must have misread your post then. My mistake, sorry for getting worked up...yet again.
Re: Writer's Workshop General Chat Thread
No worries. Just wanted to make sure everything was clear :).
Re: Writer's Workshop General Chat Thread
Alright. And I still must apologize. People giving stupid reasons for turning something down is a major pet peeve of mine, so I tend to get worked up when I see, or think I see, that happen.
I still wish for at least SOMEONE to give my fic a chance. I was really excited about this. At least I know why the thread I made on this idea went ignored...
