DTG here.

I saw The Advocate's response and I'd like to explain some things.

Firstly, I take full responsibility for my past mistakes. I undeniably hurt the community with my naive actions. I was incredibly immature.

I apologized to PM about the argument we had years ago, but forgot to apologize for my other actions.

I'm sorry for aggressively promoting the discord and encouraging people to migrate to it. I shouldn't have pushed something that only certain people could use.

I'm also incredibly sorry about how I spoke of people and their writing. It was childish and I regret it. The only writing I currently dread is my own past writing.

Yes, most writers here can write stories FAR superior to Dodo Tales. Dodo Tales was pretty awful and I want to implode whenever someone reminds me of its existence.

Regarding my status in the community, I am currently uninterested in fanfictions in general.

Regarding other OGs,

do not blame them for my actions. Bob, snek, CL1, etc. simply trusted me. They are not responsible for what I have done. I also cannot recall them insulting newer writers as I did.

Additionally, I don't believe they are morally obligated to participate in the community or read any new stories. They (as far as I'm aware) have lost interest, and we are all free to leave the community at any time.

I've made an effort to improve as a person over the years and I hope you can all forgive me.

Also, please tell me if I've forgotten to address anything. Im sure I have.

P.S.

If you're wondering what we talk about in the discord nowadays...

nothing. It's literally just two people playing wordle over and over. It died.

There's an active discord server called Club Parrot that has some writers in it, but I'm not involved with that server.
