ME3 pain
What's that?
Something many prolific fan creation posters here have succumbed to. Some of us just get so fed up with the whole ME3 mess, we leave the franchise behind. We lost JoeLaTurkey to this. I went dark for some time before deciding it was unfair to my readers. There have been others along the way. The BSN boards are a much different landscape to what they were just a few months ago. Now we get COD leetspeakers and pwnzers dominating much of the boards. Thus is what EA has wrought.
I too have succubed to it, I've also relapsed back into it a few times. Most often when I see people of certain fan bases telling me to just suck it up and be happy with the content I got with my LI, and I should feel lucky because I shouldn't have even been given that much content because that character never deserved to be a LI.
Often times the more I see that sort of thing, my subconius mind triggers it as an attack on my ME story and the character that is the most cuicia to it, my l LI. It triggers a subconsius act of when I post I find a way to subconsiusly sneak in a retalatory posts directed at said Character/LI for saying the actions of but a few dick heads in that characters fan base.
The other day I had a very decent level headed memeber of one of those fan bases PM, asking me to try and be less argessive toward that character, just because that character has a big fan base with many jerks who like to glout and talk down to the other fanbases it makes that character look bad, but when the smaller fan bases retaliate it makes it harder for those fanbases to gain more support when they are coming off a bit argessive.
I really miss Ashira, she was an insperation to me in so many ways, and probally the biggest Samaritan here. Always level headed and I never seen her loose her temper here, and attack any characters. I'm an extremly outspoken and loud fan, and I tend to be hotheaded at times.
Ashira was like the life blood of the Samara thread, since she's been gone, I've tried to keep it pumping and flowing but it's like it's just dried up since she's been away.
