Forgive me if I don't update much. I'm really putting all my free time onto my writing projects as of right now, which includes my next Persona fanfic.
I want to make it something really special, and I really want to make it good. I can admit that the quality of my Persona fanfictions has been wavering a lot. Not just in terms of pure writing quality, but regarding me just, not really having a proper sense of direction. I really hope this next one will not only be really good, and fun to read, but also impart a cacophobic message that people will actually take on board.
I don't just want to spend a few days whipping up some drivel. I want to really plan this out, and make it something spectacular, something that'll shut up any haters, and something that can make everyone come to grasp both why they've been abusing Ann, need to stop abusing Ann, and why Ann (and society in general) needs to suppress ugly-looking people in order to properly function. I know that, at the end of the day, it seems like a waste of time. A part of me is wondering what the point is, as I'll just end up uploading it, and it'll sit there mostly gathering dust. My fanfictions barely move beyond a thousand overall views by statistics (that's conglomerated views; amount of total URL checks for all chapters, as apposed to independent viewers).
But I don't really care. I'm writing this mostly for myself. I feel like I have something to say, and the potential talent to present it in a way that works, so I'm going to go for it. As much as a lot my haters want to tell me otherwise, people are always telling me that I have a natural raw talent for writing. I can admit that I tend not to really pull on that too much, though, especially lately, the quality of my fanfic writing has become pretty flippant (not that I'm not proud of what I've written, though). I think mostly because I don't have much confidence in that raw talent; blame this on all the times I get irrational haters throwing my cacophobia-based stories back in my face, I guess (not just fanfiction-wise, but in general. It's the people who've done this in real life that have hit the hardest at the confidence, from a writer's front).
