Why did you keep reading?

(Anonymous) 2012-10-19 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
I'm one of those people who has to read everything to the bitter end. It's like a compulsion with me; once I've started something I hate not knowing what happens. My brain picks at it relentlessly.

And even I gave up on QUILTBAG. I mean, just, wow.

OP

(Anonymous) 2012-10-19 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
pretty much this. I was a bit Penny&Aggie fan in the beginning and even when things got... off there... I still stuck around to the end. I had high hopes for Quiltbag and kept holding out hoping it'd improve. Then it abruptly ended and, yeah. Mercy killing, tbh.

if you read late period penny and aggie i'm not sure why you were surprised that quiltbag was chaotic, disjointed and terribly written

Penny and Aggie should have ended at the end of the Popsicle Wars arc. That was where all the major plotlines were nicely wrapped up, the two main characters had reached an understanding and maybe a friendship, and we never would've had to deal with that god-awful forced romance.

late-era penny and aggie also wasn't helped by waltrip trying to copy giz's art style despite his total lack of understanding of anatomy, visual storytelling, or euclidean geometry

not to pin all the blame on him since the writing was also totally nonsensical, of course

[personal profile] kayleen_san 2012-10-19 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
In waltrip's defense, I understand why he tried to copy her style. P&A fans were some real jerks to guest-artists in the past, and they seemed to worship Giz's artstyle as like, the one-true way. (Not everyone, mind you, but quite a few)

waltrip can't really draw in his natural style either though so that also would have been bad

then again i guess his art style did help to throw the writing's decline into total insanity into sharp relief

I agree. The end of The Popsicle Wars in P&A was both anti-climactic and just plain dreadful. The comic really should have stopped there and not given Jason the chance to give the cast breast implants. Also, the endgame relationship was boring and predictable. I'm glad they broke up, though.

I only ended up reading QUILTBAG out of bile fascination, and I'm so glad it's over. T really had no idea how to write GLBT people, imo.

Yeah, I've been there - thinking I really loathed something, but then getting pissed at it in a way that I wouldn't if I wasn't still expecting something from it.

I try to think it means something good, that the work was at least able to be meaningful to me on some level, even if that level was not enough to save it, or even to rise to conscious perception.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-19 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
I thought that Sara and Lisa were among the worst parts of Penny and Aggie
toward the end, so I'm not surprised that QUILTBAG wasn't very good.

This really just reminds me that I still haven't managed to finish Penny and Aggie. I haven't been able to deal with the change in quality after being such a huge fan.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-19 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Sara was good until they had her come out...not saying that that was bad in and of itself, but it was--once again--how it was handled. "GAY. THAT'S ALL I AM NOW. GAY. GAY GAY GAY. OH AND CONSTANTLY LUSTFUL. LET ME CHANGE MYSELF COMPLETELY NOW THAT I REALIZED THIS. GAAAAAAAAAY."

(Anonymous) 2012-10-19 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
I completely agree. She had so much more personality before she came out. Initially, I thought it was going to be a part of her story, and her personality would return as she got more comfortable. That definitely didn't happen, though. The same thing pretty much happened with Penny and Aggie.

In my more cynical moments, I think T thought his fan-base was entirely yuri fangirls who didn't care at all about the story as long as there were lesbians.

right? "i'm into boobs" =/= "I WANT TO TOUCH ALL OF THEM ALL THE TIME CONSTANTLY"

(Anonymous) 2012-10-19 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Is it any wonder Gisele seemingly fled TCampbell?

(Anonymous) 2012-10-19 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
i feel like i'm in the minority loving that Penny and Aggie got together... BUT this comic was, indeed, terrible. and everything DID go downhill in P&A (except the couple, i liked them)

(Anonymous) 2012-10-19 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I had always shipped Penny and Aggie (foe yay is my one true weakness) but the way it ended up playing out was just...bleh. THIS IS WHY I DON'T WANT MOST OF MY SHIPS TO BE CANON. It's always so much better in my head

In my case, habit, mostly. P&A was part of my procrastination routine for a very long time, and for as awful as it could be I couldn't seem to stop myself from looking it up at least once a week.

Also, the only characters I cared about at all by the end of P&A were Duane and Charlotte, and I wanted to see if T would ever bring them back. But Lisa was his favorite, so no dice. :/

(Anonymous) 2012-10-19 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
I thought Duane and Charlotte were more interesting than 90% of the cast. I'll always be disappointed more wasn't done with them. (I also try not to think about how Charlotte left the comic. That was such a weird story.)

[personal profile] kayleen_san 2012-10-19 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I just like to pretend that it ended after Popsicle Wars. Makes me much happier that way.
