The following is an important announcement:
Wow. Just wow.
I've seen some big egos in my day, but this is just... ugh.
What's the one thing that most fanfic writers are criticized with, that gives us ALL a bad name, regardless of what we write?
The fact that they explode at fans and non-fans alike for liking a pairing that they don't particularly care for.
This is especially bad in the Sonic fandom, where recolors run rampant. I don't care about recolors. You could have a million recolors, but if you know how to write an interesting backstory for them and don't have them Mary Sue/Gary Stu up your storyline, then you're fine.
What does this have to do with this particular journal? This journal, or more specifically, this block list. Look at some of his reasons for blocking people.
catsprin - Sly Cooper obsessed freak, I hate that game
redmagejacob - I dislike your art
rouge-the-bat-777 - Knuxouge freak
Diosoth, I like your stories and all, but your high-and-mighty attitude is getting on my last nerve. You've posted a journal that you complained about not getting enough comments and reviews on your stories. You posted a journal stating that you were thinking about wiping your block list (which you did, it lasted for all of about a week) and I tried to explain what you were becoming.
It's no longer becoming. You ARE a typical Sonic fanfic writer. And for this reason, you have given me the incentive to start my own block list. So as you say at the header of your personal block list:
If you're genuinely confused to why you were blocked, email me at sf3p0x1[at]gmail.com so I can promptly mark your personal email address as spam and never read it.
