Does anyone else feel this way ;_;

afew days ago somemouse stole some artworks and claim its hers and post in the fanart section.
And i really surprise me how SOME mousey cannot see they are not stolen, the style different was seriously different
u_u...
also i notice is those threads that does request gets alot of posts.
is like the only thing the fanart is for most young mice is just free artworks, no matter how shitty the artwork is.
i mean thats just greedy, they just want free stuff for themselves, they do not really care about the product itself, which is a shame.
That why even those good artist threads, as long they have no request going on, not much really... cares (IMO, it might not be true!).
Another reason why some threads have alot of post is because of small convos inside, like... just...
i mean sure if they are asking questions thats fine, but those " oh my day is fine " "owh how was it?" " it was blah blah etc".. them spams just.. owh.. u.u..
.
and actually you know for those art contest? ^^"..
until now i still DO NOT get how is it run..
like how those the round 1,2 and 3 works? .. i still dont get it :c. all the contest are the same, copy and paste and then just put different themes.
sorry if this is off topic but srsly how does it works ? oo

they're like trolls
and you know what they say: don't feed the trolls
the problem is that you always feed the kids when they throw a tantrum or something like that
and then they fight back, and there you have it, a fight
and when i say kids i mean people who act disrespectful towards others
i may be young and immature but i try to respect other artists

#23

Trolls aren't necessarily bad. These people aren't trolling. Trolling (to me) is merely playing a little with others, teasing them. Which is why I don't consider those people who post disheartening comments on thing to be trolls. I see them as disrespectful, insensetive, rude people. As for the artwork stealing, even though I have never done any artwork on tfm, I can say firmly that these people have no respect for others. If you respected someone else, you would not steal his/her artwork. Just like how youtube terminates accounts that have multiple third-party notifications of copyright infringement, the forums should have this too.

Bakachoy a dit :
after the ash and gary thread i started seeing like 10 more new joint threads afterwards, that is not to say one isn't one of them, but i had my own art thread locked

#25

Yes, outside of Ash and Gary's contest, I've yet to see a smoothy run contest yet. They cause drama and fighting and shit. Can we just place a rule against them? Honestly? Or consult with a sentinel about making one beforehand?

#27

if my 3 threads one for art one for fanfiction and one for poetry is a lot then ok then

I literally have no idea what your second paragraph means.

Are you self-advertising?

ehh wait are you gonna call me old geezer and tell me to get a life ?

#30

No, they're asking if because you're short, you consider yourself a child; and I don't know but "REQUEST ME PLZ" is advertising.

Sorry, that's blatant self-advertisement. Not such a great thing either, trying to fish for compliments by calling your art ugly and begging people to request.

I used to watch other threads in Fan art a lot but now I try to avoid them. I watch a few that I know of and like but it's quite difficult to find them. And I am no longer active in my art thread due to the ammount of pointless requests I'd get. The requests in my thread calmed down a bit, that is true, but it bothered me greatly and there were several sentinels removing them over the time.

And it's not a thing of the subforum only. If you are a good artist, you will get mice asking you to draw them even in game. Most of them usually don't realize the fact that we don't sit in front of the computer for hours daily just so we can please everyone that requests.

Some people need to learn that artists are doing requests in their free time. Other sures feel like it's a commision that needs to be done - but it is really not. Requests don't need to be done. It's the artist's choice.

As for art theft, it's mostly the younger players trying to get some attention by stealing good art and calling it theirs. I think they are jealous that their art simply doesn't get them enough views or comments.

stuff

everything fier just said up there is completely true and horrible

#34

I haven't really been much of a FanArts person myself, considering the only time I really go there is to post Non-TFM related poetry but recent conversations with a few friends -- It doesn't sound that great of a place even though the forums itself are argubly bad in subforum.

I was eventually planning on making a thread if my art ever did take off and I was at a point of being comfortable with my abilities, but this does kind of change my mind about doing so and maybe in the past is what made me hesitate to do so.

I honestly only think that people should have 2 threads for themselves max, one for art and one for Stories/poetry (You can use the flags to seperate them like people do in map threads with images).

I honestly think being able to have mutlible threads in one would be nice.

#35

^ Or push comes to shove, there are plenty sites which allow you to organize stories (Wattpad, FictionPress, et cetera) and you can simply link them. I agree, I don't see a need for a new topic every fanfic.

Of fanfics, another thing that is annoying me is the flood of fanfis that are basically humans with mice characteristics. I wrote a really angry rant on my Tumblr about it; a more polite version is that the game is about mice getting cheese. It is not about mice going shopping with friends. Someone a while ago (Sourisplum I think) made a suggestion that fanfics must have X amount of elements from TFM involved otherwise it will get locked. I realise that would be a lot of work but I am beyond done with all the fanfics of mice doing things that mice shouldn't do.

#36

Wait, fan-fics are popular here? When I reposted Revolt, there would only be one post for every chapter I made (well tbh, the forums make those chapters look like walls of texts e_e)

EDIT: Dang. They exploded after I left the forums for a while.

Let me just say that I BEAT ALL OF YOU (well there were like two before me, but let's just ignore them for now)

Also Haru, I love how you're doing critiques. One thing that's bothered me about the fan-fics in TFM (this also includes CFM btw) is that almost all the stories are pretty generic. They have several flaws, yet people make post after post after post of compliments, and it just doesn't work. I skimmed through all of them, and to be brutally honest, I only saw one which impressed me (shoutout to the person who wrote Hope). It's a shame, really.

#37

Not to sound snobby but I've been writing longer than half of the users in Fanarts have been alive, and the fact they ignore basic rules about fiction writing kills me a little on the inside.

Soetdoring a dit :
Does anyone else feel that the fan arts are run by young kids who have more than five threads for their art? That it's full of drama and spammy posts/threads? People going by their own rules and request from threads that aren't even taking them? I really miss the old ways of the fanart section. Does anything annoy any of you at all???

Yes, Plus they aren't much "Art"

They are more like coloring a scarf over a Pictrure of someones mouse. Not drawing them, Or maiing A banner saying I heart TFM.

#39

Yes, I feel this way too.
I was going to create an art thread here but I'm scared because of all these shitposters\requestwhores who don't bother to read OP\etc ...

#40

This thread sort of insults me 'cause I'm a active fannart subforum member however I have 3 fanfictions (not really active on 2 of them) and one art thread which is a collab. I'm planning on abandoning the 2 fanfictions and making a video thread.

There are multiple choices you can make your thread on in the fannart subforums.

-Arts
-Fanfictions
-Videos
-Art Contest
-Games (such as Draw The Mouse Above You)
-Etc.

That's all I have to say, thankyou. I expect no quotes or comments on this post, ok?
