I didn't switch computers.
*eyebrow quirk* In that case, what happened to the e-mail address you used to sign up for PC? The one you had to have and verify not only by entering twice in the registration form but also by clicking a link in an e-mail sent to it? Even if you don't use it anymore, it should still be a working e-mail address because there's absolutely no way you could have applied to this board without one. (No, you can't hack the board, and you can't apply with a fake e-mail address.)
Please just give me advice that is not on copyrights.:pink_eek: *Gets on knees and begs*
This is why we can't:
It's not mindless gibberish, the advice you've been receiving. It's people not jumping up and down praising your (stolen) idea.
....
And really, there's no point in further discussion concerning the actual fic if you're just going to steal someone's ideas. That's why everyone is focusing on that fact.
That and you told bobandbill off for legitimate advice. You've deleted posts in an earlier conversation when I advised you to get in touch with someone to avoid getting in trouble. You even said two people who were trying to help you were frustrating you. The only time when you were at all receptive was when you were getting fed plot ideas or praise for your story idea. (And no, I'm not counting your other idea thread here. I honestly don't know what Feign is talking about, either.)
So, why should we offer you any advice beyond what we're already giving you, considering those are the major problems we see, and you're blowing us off? If you want to get advice, stop whining that we're giving you advice you don't want to hear and start actually looking at what we're trying to tell you. Be willing to look things up on your own (because Google-fu is a skill everyone needs to have nowadays), and stop begging for advice when you're already getting it.
Look, I'm sorry I have to come to this point: telling you off for your behavior. I really don't like doing it because I don't think people listen if one talks to them with the verbal equivalent of a backhand. However, all you're doing is snapping or rejecting people outright when they're trying to help you, and there's nothing I hate more than someone who wants to be overdramatic instead of actually fix a problem that will take five minutes to fix if they actually followed the instructions everyone else is kind and patient enough to hand the author on a silver platter.
Point is, you haven't been receptive to most of the comments you've been getting on this thread, so why should we bother?
tl;dr:
ADVICE:
Blowing people off (by begging for other advice when you haven't fixed the main problem or by saying the person frustrates you and refusing to take other people's advice because "you're a fan" and therefore, you apparently know everything) is...
...NOT A GOOD IDEA.
So, chances are, to avoid ticking people off, you'll want to learn how to communicate with people. Communicating with people does not entail:
1. Making excuses.
2. Telling people the advice you
don't want to follow is useless.
3. Deleting your posts for any reason besides it's a genuine mistake (double posting, et cetera).
4. Plagiarizing and attempting to pass it off as okay. (Well, at least, it is if you happen to be in communication with the creator of said idea, which you have yet to do.)
It
does entail, however:
1. Being willing to fix mistakes yourself, possibly by looking up the instructions if necessary on Google.
2. Thanking people for their advice or otherwise telling them politely that it might not apply (only if it really doesn't).
3. Not deleting your posts.
4. Asking for permission.
