I know this thread has gone a lil off topic i just felt like adding my opinion

Fan fiction artists should expect to not get any recognition

We should be making fan fiction because we enjoy it as a fans
not because people should necessarily praise it for using our fan-boyish knowledge to create short stories.

I know it feels really good when people think what your doing is awsome but sometimes thats just the way the cookie crumbles. At the end of the day its better to do something because you love to do it.

I would say this would be trying to make a fool out of me, personally. Or at least comment on an inability to read tone correctly.

but... I'm not sure about your words used but you're talking about reading one's tone, right? We can't hear each other's voices but we make up one in our heads and that shapes how we interpret what the other is saying well, written? (Totally off topic but was just checking if I was on the same page here)
Essentially. Basically, sarcasm is used to emulate seriousness. The only difference between telling the truth and using sarcasm is essentially the subtle differences in facial expression and the voice. So, without those cues, sarcasm really loses its effect on its readers. Additionally, sarcasm on the Internet doesn't take into consideration the fact that people have most likely said the same things at one point or another and were completely serious about it.

Ergo, sarcasm literally doesn't work on the Internet. And if it does, it's usually supported by visual cues (emoticons, images) to emphasize that it's not meant to be taken seriously.

Actually, couldn't one say that Oni's story got four (real) reviews because it's a story written by Oni? I mean, while Oni's stories aren't well-known around these parts, since a few dropped off the face of the planet, he's still a good writer. And then he posts a story with an obviously bad title. Parody or not, it's still a story by Oni that gained attention.
Amen to that. Oni writes great stories.

And now this thread makes me lulz very much.
So very much, Asty. I don't even know what we're all talking about.

So that leaves one option...

Just to make sure the tone of this post is perfectly clear, I'll begin the content with an HTML tag.

I am truly sorry for getting this thread so incredibly off-topic. My initial comment was ill-planned, and I should not have made it worse by citing Oni's clever parody. To tie this lengthy conversation in with what the thread was about, anything can get noticed, it's all about luck really. Sometimes someone notices an amazing insight, and other times someone notices a boneheaded comment like mine. Again, I'm sorry.
