What Really Really Ruined an AU; A Response to Streamline Workshop.

Hey everyone, I made a google doc for people to read and spread around. This is the real honest truth about flowerfell.

I ask that nobody harass anyone with this doc, gently educate.

Don't bother the creator, they want to be left alone to my knowledge.

If anyone wants to send this to Streamline Workshop, be my guest.

What Really Really Ruined an AU

Hey guys, it’s me, Kazefiend. I know a few of you remember me from back in the day and some newer people to the AU might not know who I am

[kazefiend]

Do you recall the gist of Levi’s unreleased Flowerfell fics, like the prequel to Overgrowth and the AU as a whole that would have explained the origins of the flower curse? Of course, you do not have to share out of respect for that author, especially since the fic was never released because of repeated theft of Overgrowth.

I have no idea about any of that! Sorry!

[kazefiend]

I quite like CatieLou’s readings of the Flowerfell fics, yours included! Do you like them too?

I love catielou!

Even though you felt the drama surrounding Overgrowth (and Flowerfell as a whole) regarding theft/uncredited reposting of the fic and various AU artworks was overblown and disproportionate (especially when money was never made off of anything), do you still think it's important for fandoms to discourage these sorts of things and provide credit and safeguards against theft? What sort of personal response do you find most healthiest to handle this sort of situation (aside from doing nothing)?

The only thing you can do is encourage your readers to report when they see your work elsewhere or tell you about it.

One of the most important things is that once you post things on the internet you lose control of it and you have to settle the fuck down and live your life.

[kazefiend]

Were you at all involved in the running of the now long-defunct official Flowerfell Tumblr blog?

Nope, I never had blog access.

[kazefiend]

What lessons do you think can be learned not just from the Flowerfell/Overgrowth story itself, but also the history and drama surrounding its creation and fallout? What have you personally taken to heart while you’ve moved on to far better friends while also retaining your love for the AU and the ship? I am really happy and proud of you for your perseverance and dedication in the face of so much hardship!

Honestly, my biggest lesson that has taken a while to learn is this:

People who don't listen to you are not your friends.

People who just say yes to everything you say are not your friends.

I thought friendship was saying yes and agreeing with someone always but I started growing up and disagreeing and got painted as the bad guy for it.

Also like none of this is ever that serious to be a paranoid loser about it.

Do you think Flowerfell could have its own “Deltarune” connected world, or is it too self-contained of a story and universe?

I think it's way too specific to really transfer.

[kazefiend]

Do you happen to remember the reasons why both Chara and Frisk ventured to Mt. Ebott in Flowerfell? I assume neither had a happy reason for doing so?

No idea unfortunately!

[kazefiend]

Hi!!!! I wanted to ask you something (If you don't mind)

What exactly did the creator do? I ask because I was told that the creator of Flowerfell was a bad person, and I wanted to know exactly what she did.

This is a complicated question, in my pinned document I go into it a bit.

Short simple answer: they aren't a very good friend and treat people poorly.

[kazefiend]

Hello!!! I would like to ask a controversial question about Flowerfell, Knowing that they distorted history...The question is

Flowerfell was always Frans from the beginning? Or is it father and daughter?

Ten years have passed, and they have distorted the history of Flowerfell.

Flowerfell has been frans from the very start. Please read the pinned document on my page.

[kazefiend]

Hey so someone asked a lot of stuff and referenced a deleted post from Sanei and I do not really wanna talk about that sorry!

[kazefiend]

Well, it's a strange thing to think that it's been almost 10 years and to this day my favorite fictional character is FlowerFell Frisk. I don't know exactly how to describe it, but seeing the fan art, listening to Secret Garden, and the delicate image of Frisk smiling and remaining standing even with all the suffering and tears running down her face makes a feeling of wanting Frisk to somehow be happy and free arise in my chest. I think the only other character that made me feel this way was the Firekeeper from Dark Souls 3. I think it's impossible not to become attached to the archetype of the kind, blinded lady who lives in a world so cruel to her that the only feeling in your heart is wanting to protect her from everything. What's your opinion on FlowerFell Frisk? I think they're the greatest angel ever created in fiction.

I think they fit a niche as a genuinely kind character. They're the sweetheart who has never done anything wrong in their life type. I always liked them for that.

They reminded me a lot of Yuna from FFX. Selfless and refusing to accept less than people being safe and happy.

[kazefiend]

Oh my God, thank you for replying to me back! It makes me so happy! Thank you!!

I forgot to say this on my last Ask, but, I wanted to tell you that Flowerfell has inspired me heavily in my life to where I created my own AU (for another fandom, though, with also another taboo ship, haha), and I wanted to say thank you so much for being part of Flowerfell and to everyone in the Flowerfell community for inspiring me. I wish to not be anon, but, I am too nervous to show myself quite yet because of how crazy people are. But, thank you so much for everything you could do for the Flowerfell AU and the community.

Naaaah don't thank me! I am just glad people found value in something I helped work on!

[kazefiend]

Even though Sanei hated fictionkin back in the Flowerfell days, did they have similar experiences themselves with their own repurposed OCs? Or am I misremembering?

I honestly have no idea what path they went on after they cut contact and I find myself not giving a shit tbh.

[kazefiend]

Do you remember any noticeable things about Flowerfell (and Last Reset) that pertained to things other than Frans, that the audience never got to see and that you think we all would have liked?

God my memory is shit now because I am a ~*~ 33 year-old Lady ~*~

While it was murky and I can't remember the details they were going to bring Chara and Asriel back somehow and I did like that.
