Connor, don't you think it's a little early to be making death threats?

Oi, if I'm looking for crappy writing I'll just go visit Fanfiction.net. That's free.

EDIT- He also seems very anti-making money. What's up with that?

Connor has an extremely idealized version of artists in his mind. To him, artists exist and participate in their craft solely for their "art" and their enjoyment in it, and believe that selling out or trying to make a profit is inherently tainting their craft and their spirit.

He doesn't seem to realize that a lot of famous artists sell out all the fucking time. David? The Sistine Chapel? Any of Steven King's novels? Silence of the Lambs? None of that shit was done for free.

But in that he's shown that he has the soul of a true artiste.

I've known people like him before. I dated a poetess for a while and they were all the same dreary types of people that felt they needed to suffer for their art. They didn't do this for money because that taints the product. It didn't stop them accepting money if somebody wanted to buy one of their pieces. But that was okay because they made the product first and somebody bought it afterwards.

There is however a world of difference between those people and Connor. The writers and tellers of tales could actually do so and they weren't looking for fame. They just wanted to write, paint, sculpt, sing etc.
 
Late to the party, but holy shit Connor-senpai noticed me. :heart-full:

Murder mysteries and psychological thrillers have been done, too. That's why Hannibal Lecter exists. Here's the thing: even if it's a subject that has been done before, it can still be good. That's where you're truly lacking. You focus on trying to make it just like the greats, wanting to be seen as philosophical and edgy, rather than trying to tell a good, coherent story.

You take bits from these other novels without understanding why they work or what makes them good. (And they're plagiarism. That, too.)

You're never going to have an original premise, but you CAN have your own spin put on it. THAT is what makes these stories so beloved. If you focus on trying to make yourself 100% original, you'll kill yourself (or rather, your creativity) in the process.

And then I realize you're not going to follow anything anyone tells you, so I just wasted my breath defending writing to someone who doesn't care. *sigh*:heart-empty:
