Thar Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I wish I could like my own post. F*ck it, I'll just like your post, Night. So yeah, this got out of hand. I'd like to apologize to Maxxion, but considering he's well beyond forgiving at this point, I'll just bite the bullet like a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrise Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Oh well to hell with it-what did I miss!? In any case, still waiting on FallingPizza x YCMaker js. Maxxion was crying about being in a crackfic. 'Bout it really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Maxxion take this to PM. As for Thar, you need to remove that story if it hasn't already. If a member has explicitly stated they wish not to be included in your story, you have no right to then post it. And if they complained afterwards, you then have an obligation to remove it. As for the other members, Maxxion had a reasonable reason to be angry, and you all joined in in winding him up further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sploda Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'mma just slide in here and say that the last 3 pages were almost as entertaining as one of the fics. It also involved me liking at least 1 of Broken's posts, which is an achievement. Anyway, seeing as how I'm bored and don't really care. Thar, I want CreatorxThar, for shits and fucking giggles.

~British Soul~ Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 *Reads last 3 pages* Well... that escalated quickly. Ofc coming from a guy who walks in to find the fic removed, given the responses I had just read, I wouldn't have wanted to read it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Warns distributed for everyone involved in this shitfest. Yinny definitely didn't tell me to do this. Because I don't want to seem "biased"; Thar warned for posting it in the first place. Maxxion warned for dealing with his disputes publicly. TGM warned for being TGM. Broken warned for fueling the fire. Caeda warned only because I had to. Mugen warned for not being the upstanding moderator that would make his father proud. Myself warned for swearing at a member. If I'm missing anyone who wishes to be warned for their shameful actions, inform me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thar Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 So I'm currently under Moderator queue, which means a mod has to approve my posts before they can go up. I've also been status banned for who knows how long, so there won't be any more status hype for the time being. As for this thread's continence... I really need to stick to my word when I say I'm taking a break. As for Thar, you need to remove that story if it hasn't already. If a member has explicitly stated they wish not to be included in your story, you have no right to then post it. And if they complained afterwards, you then have an obligation to remove it. Night removed it... and I admit to being heartless by posting it despite him not approving, but I didn't think it would turn out like THIS. Thar, I want CreatorxThar, for shits and f***ing giggles. Ehhhh, I'm still not too comfortable including myself in these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thar Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Regardless, Maxxion, I know you're beyond forgiveness at this point, but I'm sorry anyways. Looking back, the reason this whole thing even started was blown way more out of proportion than it should've been, and we were both at fault for that. I'm pretty reluctant to follow through on most of the pairings planned for this now, considering Yin doesn't approve of Night x Yin and Black doesn't approve Black x Koko. That being said, I can't promise much from this point on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Thar we could have dealt with you much more harshly, because you could have been considered as breaking the law. I wouldn't care of that pairing, meaning because although I use the username Yin, I connect it more to the character than myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Origins Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 You need to compile a list of members who are okay with being written about, and you must have their express permission beforehand if you do not already have it. That being said, you may want to try to be more careful with these things. Some people are rather touchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goddamnit names are a pain Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 TGM warned for being TGM. That is perfectly legit. And I wasn't crazy for saying you needed consent. =\ Well both reactions (and chaotic third party) were awful and I apologize for my part. In trying to bring facts to the matter I really only made things worse due to my bouncing around. Add to it I was on YCM with heavy lack of sleep and just being stupid I actually feel pretty ashamed at what I did. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thar Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Say, do you remember that tiny conversation we had? The one where you asked why I included you in a pairing without your permission? That's different. You never made it clear that you didn't want to be in it, plus you didn't go so low as to flame the topic until it got removed. In fact, you expressed your disapproval VERY maturely, albeit indirect at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premier Alexander Romanov Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Well, my official review of Maximum Butthurt, done as a Tribute to the great Roger Ebert. [spoiler=Review] First, you need to slide down in your seat and make yourself comfortable. On the screen in front of you, the fanfic appears enormous and overwhelming. This fanfic is a good one, so you allow yourself to be absorbed in its fantasy, and its dreams become part of your memories. This fanfic made my heart glad. It is filled with innocence, hope, and good cheer. It is also wickedly funny and exciting as hell. It could easily become like The Wizard of Oz, that you can grow up with and grow old with, and it won't let you down. It tells a story about friendship and love. Some people are a little baffled when they hear it described: It's about a relationship between a man-child and a creature from outer space that becomes his best friend, and even more. That makes it sound like a cross between The Thing and National Velvet. It works as science fiction, it's sometimes as scary as a monster movie, and at the end, there is not a dry eye to be seen. If we identify strongly with the characters in some fanfics, then it is no mystery that Maximum Butthurt is one of the most popular fanfics ever made on YCM. It is about a man and a man who are in love, and who sacrifice love for a higher purpose. This is immensely appealing; the viewer is not only able to imagine winning the love of TheFinalFan or Maxxion, but unselfishly renouncing it, as a contribution to the great cause of defeating the Nazis. Reading the fanfic over and over again, I find it never grows over-familiar. It plays like a favorite musical album; the more I know it, the more I like it. The dialogue is so spare and cynical it has not grown old-fashioned. Much of the emotional effect of Maximum Butthurt is achieved by indirection; as it comes to its climactic end, we are absolutely convinced that the only thing keeping the world from going crazy is that the problems of three little people do after all amount to more than a hill of beans. Every once in a while I have what I think of as an out-of-the-body experience at a piece of reading. When the ESP people use a phrase like that, they're referring to the sensation of the mind actually leaving the body and spiriting itself off to China or Peoria or a galaxy far, far away. When I use the phrase, I simply mean that my imagination has forgotten it is actually present in front of a computer and thinks it's up there in the story. In a curious sense, the events in the fanfic seem real, and I seem to be a part of them. Maximum Butthurt works like that. My list of other out-of-the-body fanfics is a short and odd one, ranging from the artistry of The Wolf Blood Lineage or Vampire Stalkers to the slick commercialism of Halo - Haloes In Space and the brutal strength of My Immortal. On whatever level (sometimes I'm not at all sure) they engage me so immediately and powerfully that I lose my detachment, my analytical reserve. The fanfic's happening, and it's happening to me. Maximum Butthurt also creates a universe out of a couple of kids’ bedrooms, a gas station, and a stretch of suburban highway. Its heroes are morons, who become geniuses when nobody is watching. Its conflict is between an old-fashioned user who has always been a forum's favorite toy, and the new imbecile who may replace him. The villain is the mean troll who takes newbs apart and puts them back together again in macabre combinations. And the result is a visionary roller-coaster ride of a movie. For the kids on this site, a fanfic like this will work because it tells a fun story, contains a lot of humor, and is exciting to watch. Older viewers may be even more absorbed, because Maximum Butthurt, the first fanfic made entirely by Shut Up Thar, achieves a three-dimensional reality and freedom of movement that is liberating and new. The more you know about how the fanfic was made, the more you respect it. Shut Up Thar's Maximum Butthurt is a fanfic about brute force, anger, and grief. It is also, like several of his other slashfics, about a man's inability to understand another man except in terms of the only two roles he knows how to assign him: newb or troll. There is no room inside the mind of Maxxion for the notion that a fellow member of YCM might be a friend, a lover, or a partner. He is only, to begin with, an inaccessible irritant. Insecure in his own manhood, Maxxion becomes obsessed by jealousy—and releases his jealousy in whining. The equation between his cardmaking and his frustration is inescapable, and we see the trap he's in: Maxxion is the victim of base needs and instincts that, in his case, are not accompanied by the insights and maturity necessary for him to cope with them. The raging bull. The poor sap. Maximum Butthurt slipped around all my roadblocks and penetrated directly into my strongest childhood memories, in which a fanfic looked more real than actual literature. Reading the fanfic, I found myself caught up in a direct and joyous way. I wasn't reviewing a fanfic. I was being told a story, I was picturing incredible things, and I was having fun. The fanfic is as good as any Disney animated feature ever made—as magical as Pinocchio, Snow White, The Little Mermaid. And it's a reminder that fanfiction is the ideal medium for fantasy, because all of its fears and dreams can be made literal. [/spoiler] Thank you for everything, Roger. You are missed.
