User blog:Scout Sunset/Yeah, Ficreation sucks.

I have come to the conclusion that Ficreation is a community mostly made up of randos who'd rather care if porn was made out of their fictional ideas instead of working on plots for them, but that isn't even the surface, or not even the fucking air. I am fed up of keeping it to myself, so I'm gonna let it out! What's following are some of the stuff the community does, and the stuff I had to endure with them, at least in their Discord server.

Ignorance
One of the big guns in their Discord server is Engelbash, and man do I can't stand this person. Alongside making the #memes channel look like some fucking joke, but his ignorance made one of the biggest dramas I had to participate in. This focused on his fictional idea, Logan & Luke, in which he kept making ideas without making an initial treatment/plot for it; some of the excessive retconning he did was changing which era in which it was released, changing animation style, what types of optical media it was going to release on, and conceiving an Adult Party Cartoon reboot. Fellow voices of reason, Teksta and Acid, were tempting him to do a treatment, but he kept on ignoring us.

It wasn't long before I told him to make a treatment until he stated that he was annoyed at me, and that he could do whatever he wants with his ideas. Apparently that meant throwing a fit like an infant, in a GoAnimator sort of way, presumably sending Teksta death threats and all. He does this ALL THE TIME, and what does Geo and the mods do instead of turning on the 'voice of reason' button? They stick their fingers to their ears and shout 'lalalalalalalalalala'.

This thing annoys me equally as Engel's pissy-fits. Couldn't they just, I don't know, warn Engel when he does drama?! Then again, they have huge procrastination problems, which I'll talk about later. But back on track, the mods usually take drama as if the person who caused it would stop after realising they don't want to hear it, kinda like little children. At one point, during the aftermath drama between Freedom, Sword and Ficreation, Geo and Chuck kept silent while we had to deal with Engel, who kept on fuelling the fire by being discriminatory. Yeesh.

Here's a quote from Li Ren, from RWBY (volume 4, episode 10):


 * Sometimes the worst action to take is taking no action at all.

Procrastination

 * I may work on it later.

That is the thing Geo (and any other person that works on fictional media) says whenever I, Teksta or Acid tempt them to work on their ideas. Most of the time, it doesn't feel like they're working on them at all, which seriously baffles me. But you don't have to take my word for it; just look at Ficreation itself and you'll find dozens of ideas just neglected or not expanded on at all. I guess you could say that 'Coming soon!' is some sort of death sentence.

Many of these neglected or not-expanded-ob ideas include Really Surreal, Workers, Gools, Zoe Tarr, Jenny Zoom, Hatty, Fighting Royale...I could really go on and on for days but I'd make an entire essay if I were to do them. Then again, just look at the majority of movies and TV shows on the wiki.

On a side note, the community has had a lack of focus. They'd usually just roleplay, bandwagon, brag about their hundredth waifus, among others. Oy vey.

Neglect
Nobody likes this. It's the thing that drives people crazy. Teksta, being the brain behind Density, Los Tenpurcos, Rhea and The Traveller & The Birdwoman, has constantly been ignored and interrupted while discussing his ideas. And when they did talked about his films, they'd usually respond with a deadpan one-word vague "cool", or "awesome", or something like that. Basically, check out his blog post from November 2019.

Being the creator of Aroba Animation, I too had to deal with the same problems as him. Only three people had noticed my ideas, the first two being Teksta and Acid, and the third one being this guy named AJ the Meme Hunter. I'd usually mention Aroba during a conversation but...guess what happened. At one point, in a different Ficreation server, I basically claimed a channel discussing miscellaneous ideas, full of discussion about an movie from Aroba, this being Keito, which was basically a retcon of Metalboy, an abandoned idea back in the Gingo Wiki. I might as well release the treatment via pictures just to get an idea of what you lot should be doing, but who fucking knows; you'd neglect it as well.

Conclusion
Ficreation, a community specialising in fictional ideas, is a hollow shell, a mockery of its intention. They have several problems, but I think that is enough to persuade you that happiness is not bound to be found here. Ignorant people who do not take action, a procrastination pandemic, and even losing ties with the voices of reason, one of which was a competent, neglected writer. And guess what? I've HAD IT! I'm eerily close on leaving this wasteland you call a wiki, and having to deal with child-bullying focus-drifting competence-neglecting victim card-playing lotus-eating randos, but in all honesty, I've pretty much left already! So congratulations, you've lost another voice of reason, on top of losing Teksta and Acid. Hopefully you'll all improve in the time I'm gone, but I guess that's unlikely to happen!

So that's it, I've snapped. Thanks a lot, you nutcases. You reap what you sow.
