Recommend to me furry webcomics. PLZ. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/852362/
Read this-
"So why did I, a man who is so fiercely critical of his own work that he has literally burnt it on occasion, make a bad webcomic? The answer is that there is a distinction between a real work of fiction and just "something on the Internet" in terms of effort and pride. Except, no. There really isn't. When you create something anywhere, in any medium, you should treat it all the same. Perhaps this means I am just as guilty as the person who thinks that Magical MSPaint Catgirl is "good enough for the Internet" but at least I fucking cop to it. Not to mention that I have repaid the debt by putting something that's actually good on the Internet - and before you start, I do not mean this blog."
"Bad webcomics can come into existence from anywhere and anyone. No one is exempt, but the circumstances change. Sometimes people can put their whole heart and soul into a webcomic and it'll be the worst fucking thing in existence. Sometimes people with talent can knock some shit off in a day and it'll be fucking awful. I'm not looking for excuses, for extenuating circumstances. I'm looking at bad webcomics and I'm saying this shit is bad. It's not subjective, it's scarcely even opinion. Bad fiction will always be bad fiction, in any medium. Making a fucking comic on the Internet isn't the paddling pool, people - you will be grilled mercilessly for it as much as you would be for anything else. If not by me than by any of the others on this blog, or any number of people with the common fucking sense to tell you that your shit stinks." - John Solomon
Okay, now remove all mentions of webcomic-ing, and replace it with art. or writing. Or any artistic medium of your choice. It all fits rather well huh? Its also why I dont take crap.
Now, I havent looked at everyones comments yet. I will tomorrow though because I'm really tired as I write this. And I'll probably be an arsehole to you all. Or maybe you'll have some very good opinions. I dont know yet. but this is war and I'll be meeting you all at ground zero tomorrow. see you then.
