failure sucks

[sgatazmy]

 Well, despite finding people to look over the story ahead of time and despite being assured the story was awesome as was and a good read, this story completely and totally failed.

I'd like to say growth mindset and that it's a learning experience but the truth is that I worked really hard and did all I could to make the best story that was on my mind, and I completely and totally failed and failure sucks. 17,000 words and it's just what I wanted but apparently it just sucks.  I feel drained and let down and I don't want to pretend I'm okay.

It is okay. Thank you for the support. I knew fandom could be tough here so I guess I knew going in. I just also know a lot of the fandom is kind. I think being the largest fandom I have ever been in (by magnitudes) has something to do with it.

Interestingly, the writers of the show had an entire episode that basically was to tell fandom they really complain and nitpick too much. I liked the episode but most of fandom hated it and got really offended. Which goes to show I do have tastes that are often the opposite of the majority in the fandom.

oh, this is the song they made for that episode after the characters have been tormented by their fans: https://youtu.be/oC_bZPjwpVw
