I'm very disappointed in you both. Yes, you, Elphaba and Qupar. I will yell at you both. Separately. First, though, I must reveal something that should have been obvious.
It was all a prank. April Fool's day was celebrated with a false chapter eighteen of the Apocalypse and a temporary change of background to a revolting black.
Qupar, you managed to maintain a revolting level of disinterest. You commented only to ask what had occured, and never bothered to follow up on it. You only mentioned the template change once, and that was to say to me, in person nonetheless, that you liked it. No. No you didn't. It's ugly. The real template of rps not only screams rps, but is much more friendly. On a disappointment scale of one to Caligula, I give you an eleven.
Elphaba? You're worse. You get a Caligula to the power of Qupar. Not only did you fail to mourn Nyoromo who you claimed to love, but you accepted the deaths of the three main characters (at this moment). Admittedly, you trusted me to write something beautiful afterwords, but Yggdrasil, couldn't you form an opinion other than slavish loyalty to my work? It's not a bad thing to like a character enough to be angry with an author. It's a good thing. It means you form an opinion of your own.
The true chapter eighteen is up, though I warn you I write it only for Met. He didn't fail me.

I didn't want to start another blog fight! I figured that was the end, and that was that. You ultimately have control over what you write. You write endings to my stories that we both know would never happen in a million years, but I had the decency to accept that you'd write what you would write. The whole "alternate endings" thing really bugs me, by the way. I don't change your endings by making them sound like Elphaba; I'd like it if the same courtesy was extended to me.
ReplyDeleteThe whole change to the color of black... I have no control over that, so why would I care? Yeah, it was gross-looking, but as I said, I have no control, so what's the use in complaining? This also applies to the "ending."
For the record: I was really mad when Nyoromo "died", but since pretty much all the other characters did as well, I just figured you'd lost what little sanity you had left and killed off most of the characters.
A little indignation would have been nice.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see you try to write your endings to my tails. Could you write endings to stories so foreign from your own?
Probably.
I can say I appreciate the submission to the whims of an admin, though.
Thank you for the compliment! :)
ReplyDeleteThat wasn't so much a compliment as it was a lessening of disappointment.
ReplyDeleteClose enough, as far as you're concerned.
ReplyDeleteHow sad that that is true.

ReplyDelete"I didn't want to start another blog fight!"
A fine excuse, I was quite disappointed in you as well. You'll follow Reogan where ever he goes. I can't help but think I was at least somewhat right in my comments in SotW:RS2 on RPS after reading this response. Honestly I think I'm a little too geared toward a fight sometimes, but I'd rather that then take life lying down. I'd appreciate if you clarified your exact opinion on this subject.
"I figured that was the end, and that was that."
To reiterate myself from RPS; what sort of ending was that?
"You ultimately have control over what you write. You write endings to my stories that we both know would never happen in a million years, but I had the decency to accept that you'd write what you would write."
Most all of his endings are excellent :) and he just likes to make fun of you sometimes (although I'm sure he'll tell his version of this soon enough). Sure you can accept it, but accepting doesn't mean you have to be happy about it.
"The whole "alternate endings" thing really bugs me, by the way."
I love it! Exploring the multiverse at its finest with Reogan along for the ride is crazy.
"I don't change your endings by making them sound like Elphaba; I'd like it if the same courtesy was extended to me."
You could... I wouldn't mind.
"The whole change to the color of black... I have no control over that, so why would I care? Yeah, it was gross-looking, but as I said, I have no control, so what's the use in complaining? This also applies to the "ending.""
Black looks awesome... but not on RPS, I do have to agree with most everyone on that. It just makes it look too... Met-like.
"For the record: I was really mad when Nyoromo "died", but since pretty much all the other characters did as well, I just figured you'd lost what little sanity you had left and killed off most of the characters."
Ah, so you think it's better to die by gunshot than thousand papercuts? I'd rather not die thank you very much...
Reogan:
"I can say I appreciate the submission to the whims of an admin, though."
Yeah, we admins could always use more of that... but hey, make life interesting for us if you want to, but we'll still have our fun. :)
I do like to jest, don't I?
ReplyDeleteHey... it was my idea ;)
ReplyDeleteDid I say it wasn't?
ReplyDeleteRight you are ner vod. Vor entye.
ReplyDeleteIf I have little to no control over something, why would I bother freaking out about it? (Not gonna lie--this is a philosophy that I could practice a little more in life... :P)
ReplyDeleteOh, and by the way: the reason it bugs me to have somebody else take over what I write is because it screws up how I plan the story, because there's this whole other possibility that someone thinks is a good idea but totally goes against what I had planned... It drives me nuts. Not to sound selfish, but it's MY story. Touch and be eviscerated. Okay, not actually EVISCERATED, but I'll still be really ticked.
ReplyDelete(Recognize that evisceration line, Reogan? If not, I'll e-mail you.)
Did I ever claim they were good ideas? I'll just save up my endings and post them when you finish the story, then.
ReplyDeleteThey distract me whether they're good or not.
ReplyDeleteWhich is why I'll wait. It does end on Friday though, yes?
ReplyDeleteThank you. And yes, it does.
ReplyDeleteThen my interference will resume shortly.
ReplyDeleteOh, Qupar? Where's your enraged response?
