Re: Fallout Equestria: All That Remains

[Frost]

All of us here have stated how we love the story and how great a job you're doing. I'm sure whatever you end up putting out will be great

[Kippershy]

Oh, and Ch.16 is about 2K words right now. 

As usual, I'm convinced it sucks so far, and I'm extremely worried that I've lost the ability to write the characters after so long away (not that I did it well anyways). So, we'll see what happens. I'm hoping to get it out sometime next week, like really hoping to because I leave on the 13th and won't be able to do anything with it for 2 weeks after that.

If I don't get it out in time, I'm very sorry.

Don't worry, you'll be fine.
I was going through the EXACT SAME THING when you said otherwise about me, so you'll be fine.
Your writing far from sucks.

[CamoBadger]

Except it's true that you're a good writer. I've never written anything that I didn't mess up at some point, so I'm convinced it's gonna happen at some point.

[Ketchup]

I'm terrible at giving advice, and you didn't ask, but I suggest not worrying about it, lest it lead to the very thing you're worried about. Practice makes 'perfect', after all, don't be afraid to learn on the fly. Even when 'perfect' is unattainable in most things, especially the arts, because of the subjective nature of how we like and dislike things, I think 'perfect' can only be the best a person can do in such things. And so far, even if what you've put out isn't your desired level of quality, your standards(or likes) are higher(or different) than the readers here. We humans often put a higher standard on ourselves than others in life, although it's not necessary, it can lead to self-betterment, which I believe to be a worthy result.

I wouldn't be surprised if that doesn't make any sense to anyone but me, though. Just try not to worry too much, and don't give up, I guess.

Not true, but I love that you think I'm a good writer anyway *hugs tight*
As for you, I haven't got any experience with your other stuff admittedly, but you just won the 500 member challenge for the FOE group. If that doesn't say something to you, I don't know what to say. You shouldn't be looking to the past and worrying about the mistakes you used to make but rather look to the present and the future.
See where you want to be in the future, see what it would take to get there and start working on walking that road today. You'll have improved as a writer as time goes on and you gain yet more experience writing and going through your creative writing classes - something I have never taken, so don't try make out that you'll be any worse than I am.
At least you don't have to entirely rewrite your beginning chapters, eh?

[CamoBadger]

Thanks guys, but this is an issue I've been dealing with for a while, and just found out what the likely cause is a few weeks ago. I appreciate you trying to help, but unfortunately this is going to be my thought process until I can figure out how to get passed it.



Also, I've put up a tumblr for the story so I can put up all the art that people have been nice enough to make for it. Unfortunately, technology hates me and the damn thing is refusing to let me post anything (it takes me to a preview of the post whenever I click 'publish', 'save as draft', or any other option). So yeah, it might be useless anyways.

Every one of you mother ____er's need to get in here and tell Camo he's a better person than I am, RIGHT NAO

[RoboRed]

CAMO I LUV U 5EVR AND I WANT TO HAV UR BABIES U R SO AWESUM AN BETTR THRN THAT KIPPER GUY XOXOXO :))))))))

[Plasticube]

Camo I enjoy reading All That Remains, to the point where after I'm done I go back and read anything else you wrote, I enjoy your stories and have yet to come across a "mess up" to stop me reading.

So keep it up and um you are a better person than Kippershy?

[Kippershy]

Damn right he is.

[Frost]

Camo, you're the second coming of Jesus H. Fucking Christ Almighty, far better than the putrescent dregs of humanity formed of cum-crusted shit that calls itself Kipper

[O. Hinds]

I'm afraid that my brain doesn't seem to want to social-word at the moment, but I like ATR and don't think that you're a bad person, CamoBadger!  Oh, and I've followed the tumblr you linked.

[Kippershy]

Bad news, the guy I commissioned has just done himself over and possibly broken his collarbone on both sides, or something like that. So the piece I was looking forward to you seeing so damn much is going to have to wait.
It'll still be done, I just don't know when.

[CamoBadger]

That's fine, I leave for 2 weeks on saturday anyways.

[Kippershy]

That's because not everything is said publicly, Swicked.
He didn't claim he was a bad person, but he said I was a better person (a much better person and x y z) and I can't simply let him say stuff like that without then involving everyone else I possibly can if I'm trying to help him in the first place.

[Frost]

honestly, I just rolled with the excuse to be mean to Kipper

[Kippershy]

Why would you need an excuse?

 It stings more if you invite it

Don't know if you realise who you're talking to, but something like that doesn't affect me.

 I figured as much. Still, I can only hope to hurl insults so you don't realize my true feelings for you

I, uh, I mean......you're a cunt.

[Kippershy]

O am indeed a cunt ansd feel no reservtions in admitting such... Love u 2 babez
lolololololol

[Frost]

I'm, eh.....I'm just gonna go now......

[Kippershy]

Therre is no beating me.

[Frost]

*Shuffles off sheepishly.*

[CamoBadger]

Okay, new chapter won't be out until sometime after I get back, don't know when.

Reasons:

- I had a shitty week and couldn't bring myself to write most days.
- Because of this I didn't want to rush it on the days I did feel semi-good and put out a shittier-than-usual product.


Sorry.

[RoboRed]

*hugs Camo*

[Ketchup]

Relax while you can, don't worry about getting a chapter out if you aren't feeling up to par. Or at least try not to worry, I know that I worry about things I shouldn't and it's exceedingly difficult not to.
Nobody is forcing you to get a chapter out quickly, so write at your leisure.

[Frost]

It's all good, Camo. Your story's worth waiting for

[Guest]

It's no problem Camo. Hope you get well soon.

[Kippershy]

Take all the time in the world that you need, Camo. I know exactly how you're feeling (well, not really, but you know.)
I've STILL not been able to get much further in my writing, and it's frustrating, especially given the reasons why, but that's not a matter for this thread so I'll just leave it as you have my understanding and I hope you feel better soon.
Let me know if you wanna talk some more, mmkay? I'm always there for you if you want or need me, always. Hell, even if you just want something to do and someone to talk to casually, I'm always open.
