Just to let you guys know...{EDITED BECAUSE I FAIL}

I'm ripping off every chain you wrapped around me.
I'm throwing away every damn rule you choked me with.
I will no longer swallow your words, enduring its bitter taste.
I am a free spirit, who will bend to no one.
I am a free spirit, who shall regret nothing.
I am a free spirit, that you shall never again ensnare.
This is who I am.


Well, I edited this before because I thought the poem was pretty, and I wanted to be all dkagnelanlg mysterious and shite. I fail in my endeavors apparently.

Alright, here's the whole scoop.

About a month or two ago, I posted a couple of stories and a chart. No big deal, right?

Oh, but see, these stories and chart revolved around wolves.

As a result, someone decided to make a blog telling me to remove the stories and chart. They put my name in the blog. It was publicly posted, and I was outright humiliated.

And for what? My intention was not to bring these wolves into the Forest. I wrote the stories over winter break whilst playing WolfQuest 2, and to be honest, this is the only place I cam post them without being rebuked. Or at least that's what I had thought. For those of you going, "Oh, just post them in the WolfQuest forum," I can't.

Why? Because their rules concerning stories about wolves are very strict. I already know full well that 95% of my stories would be rejected outright. I'd post the rules, but I won't for now. This is the third time I've had to retype this, because I accidentally backspaced, and lost everything. Therefore, I'm in no mood for posting their rules and tearing them apart.

To be honest, I really didn't want to bring this whole event up; I was in no mood for starting a potential war over "morals" and all that jazz. But I have been very bitter about it since that time, and last night, I just snapped.

After thinking today, and getting some encouragement, I decided to post this. I will not stand down. I am not going to let myself be bullied into falling onto my knees, begging for forgiveness.

I don't roll that way anymore.

My argument boils down to this; We have humans. We have vampires. We do, in fact, have wolves on this sight. Hell, we have Optimus Prime. If an oversized robot can have a niche in this community, then goddamn it, my wolves will have their place here as well. And if you don't like it, then you can twirl on it. Only players of Jak 3 will get that joke, but I digress.

The stories that I deleted will be reposted. It will be in the same format; the title is the name of the character, plus their pack affiliation. I have not yet decided on whether or not to repost the chart, seeing as how it was a pain coding it, but we'll see.

Now, before you go running off, sniveling and crying because I am no longer Mrs. Pushover, I have some more choice words for you all.

If you have a problem with me, you are to message me PRIVATELY through AIM, MSN, or Skype. The fact that my name was smeared for no good reason was just atrocious. I posted TWO blogs concerning contact information, and another member was kind enough a while back to gather contact info for most of the active members on the site. Since I'm guessing you're all too lazy to go through my blog entries, and find my info, I have conveniently placed them here, in links.

One.

Two.

She's a little too dead now, methinks.

There is no excuse now not to have my contact info. If I see my name on a complaint blog again, I promise you, you will not like what I have to say. I do not want to break anyone down and be an outright bitch, but if that's what's required to get my anger across, then I will do so. And just because I can't argue to save my life, it does not mean I won't take a moment to at least attempt to slug you. Virtually, of course.

For those of you who were not involved in this incident, I very much so want you people to know that this is not directed at you. This is directed at everyone who has even thought about publicly naming me in a complaint blog.

TL;DR version:

I am upset.

I am bitter.

I want my freedom back.

Thank you.

I know that since M&A don't have much in the way of rules, it kinda forces the community to set its own standards, but I'd hate for anyone to feel creatively stifled =x

And that was the problem.

And that was the problem. Back then, I was really upset because I felt that my creativity was being sacrificed to keep the community "pure."

But now I've decided that enough's enough. I want my slice of the cake too.

Artistic expression is

Artistic expression is totally wonderful, and I could never try and break the spirit of an artist.
However, common curtasy shouldn't fall by the wayside, it would be really nice if you could post a warning at the start of anything containing mature stuff (sex, violence, and so on) just so people can avoid things they don't want to read.

Tera, it wasn't anything

Tera, it wasn't anything related to that.

It wasn't anything about mature stuff.

It was what my characters were that pissed everyone off.

The maturity thing had nothing to do with it.

M'dear, I salute thee. Just know I'm with you here. It's a terrible thing to be flat out stopped from doing what you love and having a character you adore more or less demolished.

G'luck.

Post away, then! Why would

Post away, then! Why would it matter what someone else said about your work?

I mean sure, I have a little beef with wolves but only because I play IT as well as here, and at least half of the characters on there are wolves with ugly tribal markings who spam "WOLF RP DIM 6" over and over. I personally like deer better, but I'm not saying you can't like wolves.

There are two kinds of wolf people - those who are absolutely obsessed (who draw wolves over and over and over on Deviantart and thinks people like me who like deer should like wolves instead), and the people who truely like wolves and respect them, but aren't thinking about what it would be like to be a wolf 24/7. My brother is an example of that - he loves wolves, he thinks they're beautiful, but he doesn't spaz over them like IT players do.

My point is, don't let people tell you what you can and cannot post here. I've written a gory shortstory about wolves eating a doe (only time I ever wrote a story about wolves, it was for Nopje) and everyone loved it. Ravynn's biography for her "The Wolf" character has received nothing but "Oh this is beautiful" remarks. So I don't see how one person's rejection really matters in pretty much a community that loves wolves and deer.

*nuzzles* Put your stories back up here, and if someone complains, don't worry about it.

No one has any right to tell

No one has any right to tell you what to draw or write and don't ever stop doing what you love just because what other people say! :3 You keep on writing, dear. <3

And yes, WQ is very strict... If you have facts wrong it will indeed get locked, fellow WQ browser.

And yet, as soon as I posted

And yet, as soon as I posted multiple stories about wolves, and a character chart, I'm the one that gets attacked? That's what pisses me off more than anything, it's as if I'm being targeted for something that everyone else is doing. And I've had enough of that in my life. I sure as hell don't need it here.

I'm borderline with the whole liking wolves thing; I very much enjoy drawings of wolves, and I've done colorings before of my WolfQuest characters, plus played around with some wolf makers for shits and giggles. But I'm not a spazzer either. And I like deer, obviously, or I have never been here.

But nonetheless, thanks for at least hearing me out in a fit of rage face. I appreciate it. Seriously, I do.

Briwolf - While I browse the WQ forum on occasion, I would never become a full-fledged member, unless me and few friends decided to do a multi-player game, which has yet to happen. Their forums repulse me for reasons of my own business, and I'd be damned to become a member of that zoo.
