It's all good. I think.Me and MBV talking things out said:09:09 Tabuuownsall132x2 Alright, maybe a Forum thread wasn't the right place.
09:10 Tabuuownsall132x2 Don't worry, I don't intend to F Bomb you out here.
09:10 Tabuuownsall132x2 Tell me your side of things.
09:10 Crocodile_Dippy huh
09:12 Tabuuownsall132x2 About the argument we were having on the Forums.
09:12 Tabuuownsall132x2 You know, me being an immature ass who can't take criticism or whatever
09:12 Tabuuownsall132x2 And you being a whingy bastard that complains about TV Tropes wherever he goes.
09:13 Crocodile_Dippy I kind of thought that was resolved? :x
09:13 Crocodile_Dippy to an extent
09:15 Tabuuownsall132x2 Did you respond after Edo told us to shut up?
09:16 Crocodile_Dippy no
09:16 Tabuuownsall132x2 Well, there's still a point of mine you haven't addressed.
09:16 Crocodile_Dippy ok
09:16 Tabuuownsall132x2 You haven't given me any form of criticism other than my failure to do research on military politics
09:17 Tabuuownsall132x2 The other stuff you mentioned is stuff you said years ago
09:17 Tabuuownsall132x2 About my old projects
09:17 Tabuuownsall132x2 And back then, I'd say we were essentially different people.
09:17 Crocodile_Dippy I've told you this about 'Typical Tragedy' as well, I'm certain.
09:17 Tabuuownsall132x2 You haven't.
09:17 Crocodile_Dippy well I'm saying it now
09:17 Tabuuownsall132x2 I carve all my criticism into my flesh.
09:17 Tabuuownsall132x2 okay that's a joke, but
09:18 Tabuuownsall132x2 I remember people's criticism and I take it to heart.
09:18 Tabuuownsall132x2 But now you've said it about my current story
09:18 Crocodile_Dippy you mean you take it personally?
09:18 Tabuuownsall132x2 Yes.
09:18 Tabuuownsall132x2 I have to.
09:19 Tabuuownsall132x2 If I don't work on my problems, I won't get better.
09:19 Tabuuownsall132x2 I have to get as much criticism as I can get, so I can fix all the problems that come up.
09:19 Tabuuownsall132x2 that sentence was grammatically incorrect
09:19 Crocodile_Dippy I thought this was about your fiction, not you? :?
09:20 Tabuuownsall132x2 My fiction's a part of me, bro. It doesn't hurt my feelings when I get harsh critics
09:20 Tabuuownsall132x2 Used to, but it doesn't anymore
09:20 Tabuuownsall132x2 But being a writer is a huge focus
09:20 Tabuuownsall132x2 And the only way I can get better at that is to take criticism and work to improve based on it.
09:22 Crocodile_Dippy of course
09:23 Tabuuownsall132x2 So I remember criticism and try to fix it
09:23 Tabuuownsall132x2 tbh though
09:24 Tabuuownsall132x2 The "grimdark" vibe of this fic is completely intentional
09:24 Tabuuownsall132x2 And it's only going to get worse.
09:25 Tabuuownsall132x2 The vulgarity...well, I don't swear as /much/ as I used to in my stories. I've tried to cut it down some. But since most of the chapters are my perspective, I stay in character. And, let's face it, "fuck" and all of its forms and tenses are one of my favorite words.
09:25 Tabuuownsall132x2 But if the story's getting too self-centered, too egotistic
09:25 Tabuuownsall132x2 Or my character's becoming a Marty Stu or overpowered
09:25 Tabuuownsall132x2 Or if I'm making writing errors
09:26 Tabuuownsall132x2 Those are the huge places I'm concerned, especially that last one.
09:26 Tabuuownsall132x2 Walkazo used to give me a lot of criticism on that last one
09:26 Tabuuownsall132x2 I fixed it, too
09:26 Tabuuownsall132x2 But I still feel like there's something missing
09:26 Tabuuownsall132x2 As compared to real books being published, you know?
09:26 Tabuuownsall132x2 So I'm trying to find a harsher critic.
09:27 Crocodile_Dippy Get Glowsquid to review your work. He's definitely a harsh critic.
09:30 Tabuuownsall132x2 That's the thing
09:30 Tabuuownsall132x2 I've tried to get him to, but he won't
09:32 Tabuuownsall132x2 Hey
09:33 Tabuuownsall132x2 Is it okay if I post this chat log in the thread?
09:33 Crocodile_Dippy why
09:33 Tabuuownsall132x2 why as in why won't he or why as in why post this?
09:33 Crocodile_Dippy why post it
09:35 Crocodile_Dippy no answer
09:37 Tabuuownsall132x2 sorry, busy with life
09:37 Tabuuownsall132x2 But anyways
09:37 Tabuuownsall132x2 I wanna post this so people know that this issue is resolved.
09:37 Tabuuownsall132x2 Is that okay with you?
09:38 Crocodile_Dippy You could just say it's been resolved. Or leave the argument to die and let everyone get on with the topic.
09:39 Crocodile_Dippy I don't really think you need to post the log at all.
09:39 Tabuuownsall132x2 Well, I want to. It'll give me a nice feeling of resolution.
09:39 Tabuuownsall132x2 But if you actively don't want me to, now's your chance.
09:40 Crocodile_Dippy do what you want, I don't mind
Now I'm going to go ahead and delete that silly poll.
Oh, the things I do in the heat of arguments.
