'rant for lost reason
Alright, pass over the crying moment when I had to reinstall my browser for the second time, I just had to put down some thoughts down since there's not much to do around anyway apart from sitting in front of my PC and struggling to write some new chapters, which I miserably fail to do OTL
So, AFF has been my 'home' for more than a year already and I saw how things go around here, how stories get featured and all. And lately, this up-vote thing came up, creating an entire... mafia? Oh yeah, mafia for karma points, desperate pleadings/threats/beggings to push that damn button. People, why? I want to ask: why? Why asking the subscribers to push the up-vote button in exchange for some 'products'? This ain't the real world where you have to pay for every you buy. And there sure are plenty of people/shops/authors that do the same things for free? So why ask them to push that button? Did humanity lost its last trace of reason? I mean... if it's not voluntary-- the up-voting, the subscribing, the commenting, and it's mandatory, where's the sincerity in doing that? Just for the sake of doing it?! Gain karma, gain karma, gain karma! KARMAKARMKARMA!!!... Yeah, right... Quoting CL here, "You ain't without your crew!"
And really? 'Karma sharks'?! What is that now?! O.o
And the featured stories... strange thing, some really know who's going to be feature next. Interesting, don't you think?
As well as all those 'awesome' writers that do nothing else but look down on the others. I don't think you're born with intelligence. You gain it as you go through life. Just as talent is developed through years. To become the best in writing/singing/dancing/painting etc., you need to practice. And well, someone has to see your bad becoming good and then the best they ever saw in their entire life. So cut me some slack here, alright?! I'm not the best, God knows how far I am from being near being a good writer, but I try, alright? With all my might and all my being, I struggle here. And I write because it's my hobby, not my damn job or anything like that! So give me a break alright? And the same to all those who write about Mary Sues/strange pairings/unknown bands, those who have ridiculous grammar and think that are the world and an absurd 2165123456355 number of subscribers, those who are just reader -- give them a break too, alright? We're not here to judge anyone, you know. We're here to enjoy the same thing: stories about the people we like, about the music we like listening to. So stop giving me the crap about who's the best and who's going to be featured, 'coz it ain't matter anyway! It's not like winning a Nobel, guys!
Now I'm gonna be bashed and hated and unfriended and blocked and all the things you can do around here (reported too?! O.o) but sincerely, this was on my chest for a while now and I just had to get it off!^^'
