Me and MBV talking things out said:
09:09 Tabuuownsall132x2 Alright, maybe a Forum thread wasn't the right place.
09:10 Tabuuownsall132x2 Don't worry, I don't intend to F Bomb you out here.
09:10 Tabuuownsall132x2 Tell me your side of things.
09:10 Crocodile_Dippy huh
09:12 Tabuuownsall132x2 About the argument we were having on the Forums.
09:12 Tabuuownsall132x2 You know, me being an immature ass who can't take criticism or whatever
09:12 Tabuuownsall132x2 And you being a whingy bastard that complains about TV Tropes wherever he goes.
09:13 Crocodile_Dippy I kind of thought that was resolved? :x
09:13 Crocodile_Dippy to an extent
09:15 Tabuuownsall132x2 Did you respond after Edo told us to shut up?
09:16 Crocodile_Dippy no
09:16 Tabuuownsall132x2 Well, there's still a point of mine you haven't addressed.
09:16 Crocodile_Dippy ok
09:16 Tabuuownsall132x2 You haven't given me any form of criticism other than my failure to do research on military politics
09:17 Tabuuownsall132x2 The other stuff you mentioned is stuff you said years ago
09:17 Tabuuownsall132x2 About my old projects
09:17 Tabuuownsall132x2 And back then, I'd say we were essentially different people.
09:17 Crocodile_Dippy I've told you this about 'Typical Tragedy' as well, I'm certain.
09:17 Tabuuownsall132x2 You haven't.
09:17 Crocodile_Dippy well I'm saying it now
09:17 Tabuuownsall132x2 I carve all my criticism into my flesh.
09:17 Tabuuownsall132x2 okay that's a joke, but
09:18 Tabuuownsall132x2 I remember people's criticism and I take it to heart.
09:18 Tabuuownsall132x2 But now you've said it about my current story
09:18 Crocodile_Dippy you mean you take it personally?
09:18 Tabuuownsall132x2 Yes.
09:18 Tabuuownsall132x2 I have to.
09:19 Tabuuownsall132x2 If I don't work on my problems, I won't get better.
09:19 Tabuuownsall132x2 I have to get as much criticism as I can get, so I can fix all the problems that come up.
09:19 Tabuuownsall132x2 that sentence was grammatically incorrect
09:19 Crocodile_Dippy I thought this was about your fiction, not you? :?
09:20 Tabuuownsall132x2 My fiction's a part of me, bro. It doesn't hurt my feelings when I get harsh critics
09:20 Tabuuownsall132x2 Used to, but it doesn't anymore
09:20 Tabuuownsall132x2 But being a writer is a huge focus
09:20 Tabuuownsall132x2 And the only way I can get better at that is to take criticism and work to improve based on it.
09:22 Crocodile_Dippy of course
09:23 Tabuuownsall132x2 So I remember criticism and try to fix it
09:23 Tabuuownsall132x2 tbh though
09:24 Tabuuownsall132x2 The "grimdark" vibe of this fic is completely intentional
09:24 Tabuuownsall132x2 And it's only going to get worse.
09:25 Tabuuownsall132x2 The vulgarity...well, I don't swear as /much/ as I used to in my stories. I've tried to cut it down some. But since most of the chapters are my perspective, I stay in character. And, let's face it, "fuck" and all of its forms and tenses are one of my favorite words.
09:25 Tabuuownsall132x2 But if the story's getting too self-centered, too egotistic
09:25 Tabuuownsall132x2 Or my character's becoming a Marty Stu or overpowered
09:25 Tabuuownsall132x2 Or if I'm making writing errors
09:26 Tabuuownsall132x2 Those are the huge places I'm concerned, especially that last one.
09:26 Tabuuownsall132x2 Walkazo used to give me a lot of criticism on that last one
09:26 Tabuuownsall132x2 I fixed it, too
09:26 Tabuuownsall132x2 But I still feel like there's something missing
09:26 Tabuuownsall132x2 As compared to real books being published, you know?
09:26 Tabuuownsall132x2 So I'm trying to find a harsher critic.
09:27 Crocodile_Dippy Get Glowsquid to review your work. He's definitely a harsh critic.
09:30 Tabuuownsall132x2 That's the thing
09:30 Tabuuownsall132x2 I've tried to get him to, but he won't
09:32 Tabuuownsall132x2 Hey
09:33 Tabuuownsall132x2 Is it okay if I post this chat log in the thread?
09:33 Crocodile_Dippy why
09:33 Tabuuownsall132x2 why as in why won't he or why as in why post this?
09:33 Crocodile_Dippy why post it
09:35 Crocodile_Dippy no answer
09:37 Tabuuownsall132x2 sorry, busy with life
09:37 Tabuuownsall132x2 But anyways
09:37 Tabuuownsall132x2 I wanna post this so people know that this issue is resolved.
09:37 Tabuuownsall132x2 Is that okay with you?
09:38 Crocodile_Dippy You could just say it's been resolved. Or leave the argument to die and let everyone get on with the topic.
09:39 Crocodile_Dippy I don't really think you need to post the log at all.
09:39 Tabuuownsall132x2 Well, I want to. It'll give me a nice feeling of resolution.
09:39 Tabuuownsall132x2 But if you actively don't want me to, now's your chance.
09:40 Crocodile_Dippy do what you want, I don't mind

It's all good. I think.

Now I'm going to go ahead and delete that silly poll.

Oh, the things I do in the heat of arguments.
 
...there was a poll? Doah.

Anyways, to attempt to steer this topic back to something productive...

Any idea when the next chapter will be out?

Tomorrow, I'm hoping.

Great. (not sarcastic)

Personally, and not to be attacking the latest chapters (it seems every time someone says that it's horribly offensive), but I'm hoping that it won't be another bridge chapter and we'll actually get some good plot developments. Past revelations are nice and all, but I prefer moments when the plot thickens, you know?

Er, dude... look, I see your point and sort of agree with you, but was all that really necessary?




EDIT: and now i see that the argument was resolved and thus my interjection was pointless

oh well, at least I found a new sig
 
So. New character named Stumpers or I'm just not paying attention to the story and skipped over a detail. Blabla action stuff.

Is it bad that I imagine your story like it's a cinematic movie?
 
Chapter 20 was good. I was just wondering: how much time do you have to work on it every day?
