I'm deleting Shattered a.k.a. trash not worth anyone's time four days from now unless someone actually cares I wrote it.
---
Originally when writing the version of this having Sydney in a park going after birds, the scene had her completely in the woods. Why that got tossed aside was remembering the time of day the scene would be taking place in. The trees around her at dusk would have put everything in dark shadows. By the way just like how the Olmecs have their own speech, I am keeping track of how I have "bird talk" coming out.

Two days to go after this posting. ... Nice to know my work is garbage. Yet, people might tell me not to stop posting this comic if I say I'll stop. ... I told Chase last night I'm also considering deleting the art connected to Shattered. With what commenting it did get, I don't feel like seeing the false encouragement the story got to be posted. ?

If you can't guess by birdie sound what's near Sydney, you'll see the feather duster later on and know what it is.

Your work has never been garbage. People are just busy with things. You have to have more confidence in what you do.

Either Shattered hasn't been read by anyone anywhere, or it's trash not worth commenting on. The only comments it got were by a person who didn't understand it was a PDF and thought it was an image. One day left until deletion here.

Honey, we've all been nothing but nice and encouraging to you. Julie and I told you that you should keep posting whatever you like yes, but we didn't mean it like that. We don't have bad motives but if that's how you feel, no ones stopping you from leaving. We would like you to stay and read your stuff but we understand.

I meant I'm soon removing the story I spend months on unless I get some sign of acknowledge it exists to others. Here, FF . net, DA, Wattpad, and A03 ... I wasted my time working every day on it.

Hello Systemcat.

As you can see, I've barely been on here, since my status post on Tuesday.

We all know what is like to post something we've put a lot of work into; and wonder how it will be received; and we all get upset if we don't get a lot of likes, especially at first.

But, if you have a story you need to tell, then just go ahead and tell it. You are a great writer and artist (certainly much better than I am(especially when it comes to backgrounds, and stuff) and as a truly creative person you should know that no creative effort is ever really wasted--whether it is seen by many--or only therapeutic for you.

But you have to learn to faith, not only in yourself (which is most important!!) but your audience (here) too. We have always been sincere in our praise, comments, and reviews of your work. ?

It was posted here back on the 14th. ... Unless you count ideas that had been brewing lightly since 2016. I worked on it steadily from last Sept. until the date of posting. I also know an element of the scene coming up in the comic will look to fit the story but Shattered helps explanation along between part of Finn's action and a little of Zack's words.

... ... Should I delete Shattered from here tomorrow?

No one has read it. Or if they have, they haven't felt it's worth saying any words over it.

Honestly with how non-existent it's been received, I am in debate about another story I want to write. I feel like what would the point be to a follow up if the story leading into it wasn't read?

This is a busy scene on a number of accounts. Finn with Serpente Di Giada's phone is the obvious. What is not so obvious I think are a couple setups taking place on the page. One a joke, the second a nod to ... garbage.

I highly doubted anyone would get the Rockapella trivia nugget on DA so I explained it over there. Another aspect of writing to this page was lightly touched on over there too. But here .. I'm not going to explain it. my trash doesn't matter.

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
