ATTENTION EVERYONE! THIS IS A PSA BY CL1 (yes the real CL1)

THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE SUS SITUATION, THIS IS EXTREMELY SERIOUS:

President Loki has been writing a story in Black dye and they've been getting a lot of love (and hate) for it. Up till now it was the usual, "you suck" and "nobody cares" messages, but the latest posts have been spams telling them they're life is meaningless and they need to commit.

I've already reported them and sent a lengthy rant, but this needs to be said here, because I fear this type of message is going to spread to all of the dyes.

TO THE FANFICTIONERS

Don't be discouraged my friends! We have our differences, our skirmishes, but we are all on the same side here. If these messages spread to your sections, remember the fans. Remember the kind messages and people begging for more. Remember the newer fanfictioners you inspired! So many of the people we have here would have never arrived without the first few!

If you have a fanfictioner here that inspired you, tell them so! It means more now than ever. I was inspired to write my own stories by DTG and Seasnake.

I KNOW SOME OF YOU STRUGGLE WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, AND THIS PART IS SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU:

Don't listen to the seven-year-old on the other side of the screen. There is a reason you write, don't forget. Fans or no fans, known or unknown, you write because you love writing. Remember that, no matter what is thrown your way. Remember that and soldier on, because for ever hate message you have, there's a silent fan of your work out there waiting for more!

TO THE FANS

I know some of you have found our hub, and to you I say, THIS WILL NOT STOP US. We are here for the love of the game, and the thought that all of you out there are here in our corner (though we don't always know it) is enough to push me forward, and I hope I can say the same of most of the others. If you do enjoy the story, let the writer know. If can be as simple as "This is great" or "keep wititng!" It doesn't take much to bring a smile to the writer's face, believe me, I know!

TO THE HATERS

I think it needs to be said that hate truely is a distorted form of love. The worst thing you can give someone else is indifference. The true lack of care, lack of acknowledgeement that they even exist. So first, I want to say thank you. Thank you for acknowledging us. (This especially goes for you SuS. I think you really love us and just didn't want to fade out as a generic fan, so you're making yourself "special.")

But now this needs to be said as well. You can scoff and laugh and spit on what we do, but what are you trying to accomplish, really? Ask yourself in all honesty: "Why am I doing this?"

Is it jealousy, that writing isn't where you are strongest? You think everyone here came out the womb making Shakespear? It's something that takes practice and dedication and love. We wouldn't be here if we didn't enjoy it.

Maybe you just don't like to read? Great, then move on and find something else to do. Watch TV or a movie (which people had to first WRITE, might I add) or play a sport, go camping, cook a meal, something productive rather than sitting in the dark writing threats and putting other people down.

Maybe you just don't have anything better to do?

.... really? You'd do better finding ways to solve pollution and world hunger, but no. You're sitting here doing this? And some of you have the audacity to call us "pathetic."

Or maybe it's the oldest reason in human history. Some one hurt you, so you're hurting someone else. First, find someone to talk to. If you don't think that's a safe option, there's always SOMEONE you can turn to, whether physically or spiritually. Second, brining pain on other people isn't going to bring you satisfaction, its only going to put more pain out in the world to come right back to you. In my experience, the kind of actions you make directly correlate to your mood.

Bad actions make you feel bad, helpful actions make you feel helpful. There's a reason people help the elderly cross the street.

LASTLY, TO THOSE THAT CROSSED THE LINE

Don't you ever... EVER tell someone to "commit." This world is a dark, dark place, and some of us have seen more darkness than others. There are those out there that it simply takes one push, one more feather on the burden they bear and they will be crushed.

Blood truely could end up on your hands. This is not a game, this is life and life is too much to bear sometimes. Don't end someone elses early. Don't end someone elses at all.

~CL1 needs a break from humanity sometimes.
