Mind if I rant a bit.
May trigger somebody
May be I will delete it later
You know that since last year, Rain Dance was made in double-language format? I did a Vietnamese version for VN readers on Facebook and an English version for foreign readers on dA, tumblr and forum.
But recently, I’m losing motivation to make English version.
I’m losing motivation to stick with nuzlocke community
I started asking myself “For what?”
This community is losing its quality.
Not many good comics are still running. Some have ended, some got dropped.
New ones.. I feel like they are just following a “trend” called gijinkalocke
Low quality, little effort, drop without an apology after one or two pages. In short, no promising at all. You may think that I prejudge, but just look at our community now, how many of them are GOOD enough? I’m just talking about comic runs though
Moreover.
Nuzlockers stick together as groups, and they support each other. The result is outsiders would be ignored and don’t have enough attention they deserve.
You may think I’m mean, but I got frustrated in last year’s forum extravaganza, when seeing people kept nominating their friends. I did think that some didn’t deserve to be nominated, and there must be some better runs out there, being ignored.
(You may think that I was just jealous because I was not nominated and such. Half-right. I’m not saying that Rain Dance is a good run and deserves it more than those nominated runs. Plus that the result of extravaganza is fair enough with quality runs, I’m just judging the nominating round)
So, what then?
I’m feeling tired with this community and have a feeling of giving up on it.
I’m not going to drop Rain Dance, since its plot is original enough, and I still have my Vietnamese readers reading it as a normal pokémon comic.
I’m not going to leave this community completely, as I will keep my eyes on active runs - Ones I’ve been reading, or even some new and quality ones. I just don’t want to be “a part of it” anymore.
I don’t know, I’m not sure, this is just a rant and I haven’t made up my mind. May be I’m just being mean? May be I, or my story is just not good enough. I know I have dedicated foreign readers and I don’t want to upset you all, but I don’t have motivation to keep up with providing the comic (in English). I feel disappointed with this current status of the community, that’s still my true feeling.
Maybe it’s still not very bad at the moment, but it won’t last long.
Mind if I say it is being rotten.
The feeling to leave dA, forum and the community itself is strong.
In any case, you can find me on a Facebook page named “Phyllocactus”, where I post Vietnamese version of Rain Dance
