I'm nearly at that point... (Serious Thought)
5 years ago
I've been thinking a lot about myself and other things after having a little fallout with a friend of mine. Since then, I've been wondering about how someone like me can have such big and grand ideas, considering my personality. I often wonder if such great ideas and imagination is..wasted on someone like me.
I guess if I really am to give up, then I might have to look for a potential successor to give everything to: My Multiverse Series, my characters, the worlds I've created, and possibly even my fiction account. Problem is I dunno who would be able to write them considering the series is full of characters from series that I doubt anyone in this furry fandom would even be interested in knowing about.
It would take a real nerd to actually pull off the plans I have, but the question is who would fit the bill? Who would be perfect for continuing my legacy..or at least what little of it I made..
Any comments or ideas or opinions you all wish to share on the matter?

Allow me to be brutally honest with you for a second: Nobody is going to do your stories and series like you want them to. It is in your mind and your mind alone that these worlds and characters can flourish. You are the one who knows them best. If you want these stories to be told, then you'll have to do it yourself.
Look, I've been where you are (hell, I am where you are). I feel like I'm worthless, but I have lots of stories I want to tell, and to be honest, I think I have a responsibility to tell them. Do you love your characters? Do you love the worlds you've created? Then they're your reason to keep pushing forward. You owe it to them to tell their story and share it with the world. Because otherwise it would have been like they never existed.
Feel sorry for yourself all you want. Cry, get angry, rage against how life treats you.
But once you're done?
Get. Up.
The stories you can tell matter, but they can only be told by you.
Nobody else can continue your stories like you do. That's why you should keep working on it and do what you can and like. You need to look for more possibilities to spread these stories and present them in other ways, so that attention will increase for it.
You have the talent to create big things and you should preserve and improve it, use it. But you should also work on your real life circumstances to be able to use this talent properly. Only if you have the right balance, you can continue your path, using you abilities right.
