3) I'm just like you. D: I end up finishing them eventually (in most cases), but it usually takes me a few months longer to complete the game or series than it should. It's not that I don't want to know the ending, it's that I just don't want it to be finished already.

9) Well, at least they're trying. :[ I guess they just update their stuff so frequently it gets seen more than the people who spend a lot of time and effort on their own stories/drawings, and their material appeases the rest of the fanbrats. There's a lot of Naruto and KH2 fanart floating around DA lately that really isn't that funny, well-done or even in character but pops up in the most-favourited section anyway.

The thing is, when you do something constantly you tend to improve a lot faster. So they might not have anything worth your time now, but they might someday. I know I wasn't what you'd call a mature and respectable individual when I first started drawing stuff either.

I'm not totally sure if I sound like it, so I'll say I actually agree with you that this isn't fair to the people who draw beautiful art and aren't recognized enough for it.

9. I'm essentially frustrated by people who get praised for reasons I just can't see, and then I find a great piece of art and only one or two people have told the artist how great they think it is. If someone is *trying*, then all the power to them! Please don't misunderstand and think I meant that I hate people who make art/fic/whatever that I personally don't find to be great. Everyone is growing, but what bothers me are the people who expect praise and get angry if they get a crit or whatever.
I wish I could re-word that secret, since I now see I wasn't clear with my intent on it. Sorry about that.

Nah, I think I worded it the wrong way. :P I have this awful habit of sounding more angry or serious than I actually am over the internet, you see.

The real point of your secret then, I guess, was about the people who are so used to praise they through a hissy fit whenever somebody tells them they aren't queen of the fanart/fanfic world?

That's pretty much it. I take my hits of crit for my mistakes and grow from it, and other people just won't hear it if it's not all roses and words of awesome.
(That and I'm irked that those same people get all the praise, when the people who (imho) deserve it because they've worked hard for their stuff, just seem to get forgotten.)
