I'm in a really bad mood right about now and I'm gonna explain why.
I'm not ok with standing back and watching peoples hard work i.e fanfics,art or any other kind of fan made article slagged off and poked fun at. Its not ok especially not on a public forum. Fandoms and fan articles are supposed to be FUN. Constructive criticism = Fine, flat out slagging someone elses work to another individual is just uncalled for and this is just one incident of many thats put me in a bad mood. I'm so sick of elitist fans doing this it pushes people away from the fandom and makes them feel unwelcome and generally nervous to get involved not to mention giving the fandom a bad name in general. It is for this reason that I won't be coming back to this board again I just don't see the point when there is the winds of change board readily available where none of this crap happens. Thats not to say most of you on here aren't great it's just a couple of people have to ruin everyone elses fun and I don't want to be near it and risk cussing someone out and feeling bad about it later.

I know I don't say much here, but I just wanted to point out that this is an excellent post. A fandom should be a fun, welcoming place; there's no need to get hostile and condescending just because someone doesn't share the same opinions as you. If you don't like someone's work/headcanons/ideas/etc. that's fine, but let them enjoy it in peace.

Hey, I'm not sure if you're talking about me, but if so then I apologize. I did kinda talk bad about a couple of fics earlier, and I'm sorry. I am sure that the authors of those fics put a lot of hard work into them, and there are definitely people who enjoy their writing. I do not mean to hurt anyone's feelings, if they enjoy writing then they should continue. I'll remove my posts that may have offended someone. Sorry 8( |

Sorry 8( You know what I'm not about to stay mad at someone for politely saying they are sorry and that what they did was wrong. Thank you for being mature about the situation. Who knows maybe some people in the fandom could learn something from this. I know it's easy to get caught up in the action and lets be honest here beaching for some reason is fun like a lot of bad things. I'm not about to hold a grudge if you truly can see that it was wrong and are sorry. |

Boards like these are supposed to be about the actual fandom / characters, ect.. not being rude to other members contributions |
