    On one hand, it'd be really mean and I shouldn't do it. On the other hand, it'd be hilarious and I'm a dick.

    On the prehensile tail, have you tried trolling them for your own amusement?

    It's mostly the fact that Of Broken Birds and Prickly Bastards, is full of hints and clues to the MC's backstory, but instead of talking about *any* of that I get people telling me Amy is a horrible monster, and everything she did to Vicky was intentional.

    Despite me telling people that Ward has *zero* bearing on it. then they insist that Wildbow's retcons were canon the whole time, and I'm reading the scene wrong...

    Seriously, I got almost two pages each of LGBT rights, and no you're wrong. but not *one* person mentioned the big clue in Jack's nightmare...

    Yeah, fucking Wildbow retconing his own shit is so annoying.

    "Oh, this was always what Amy did to Vicky, you just had to "read between the lines"".

    Like fucking come on man. He wrote all kinds of horrible shit in his story, a little girl and girl rape was too much?

    "but not *one* person mentioned the big clue"

    As someone who's been writing for over a decade, now... they never do. They. Never. Fucking. Do.

    Me and Meribson are sad. Apparently someone on a discord server got close, but it wasn't anywhere we could see... takes the fun right out of it...

    Yeah, it does... but then the question becomes "how often do you, someone who's been on the other side of it, comment on the subtle stuff *other* writers do when you read their stories?"

    A fair point. I do try, especially when there's an actual discussion going on. However I haven't done much reading lately.

    Yeah, when you write a lot you only have so much time for reading I've noticed.

    It's a kinda frustrating thing. Do I write or do I read?

    Point... one I know all too well from experience... but *when you are reading*, do you point out the subtle stuff when you notice it?

    Not often enough. I tend to lurk. But I concede your point. I should remove the log from my eye before bitching about the splinters in other peoples.

    I tend not to point out a lot of stuff cause it seems obvious to me.

    Then everyone else is like, "Whaaaaaaat?!"
