But I am the most pissed off of you all.
Without even asking me (I don't know if you asked TTT) in a SINGLE post all that was written before had been revealed a dream, with the very out of character thing of having Merlin attacking the heroes when they were still within the boundaries of La Perdita.
I realize that this is aimed at me, specifically, so let me respond:
So. Fucking. What.
After having to clean up and adapt to your needs and whims over almost six years, I sincerely don't care if you are offended that I altered the course of the story to better fit the desires of the majority of writers in this group.
1.) Is this a Round-Robin? Are you sure? Because, if it is, then it is the imperative right for any writer to come along and add/create to the plot in whatever way they deem neccessary, as long as the effects do not ruin the fun for the majority.
2.) No one was enjoying the story! Didn't you get the clue when we decided to go a different direction, and everyone started writing again? We need spontanaity and the ability to free-form our own ideas.....not continuously naval-gazing at entrenched continuity.
Quote: You feel it imposed over you? Simply say we don't want it.
We did. By writing it into a different direction. One that TTT felt the need to contradict. Twice.
Quote: If we really are interested in Vanguard to be an ADVENTURE team, with different kind of stories, I am sure the Metatithenai is cool and useful.
But it's time we really declare what we want to do with Vanguard, because while for years I have been basically the single one poster to clamoring for them to be Superheroes, with costumes, a headqurters and villains to fight, while from the others there was the costant reminder that Vanguard is not about superheroes, is about adventures of different kinds, in the last months, since we where at the middle point of the dark world story, I have seen just interestest into writing fights. There is nothing bad in that, but, please, recognise this and then let's be honest: stories dedicated just to fights needs a team of superheroes, not adventurers.
To be more clear: for me adventurer means writing Doom patrol or Challenger of the Unknow stuff. And I believe the current team is specially geared, character wise, for that.
But if just me and TTT are interested into such sort of things, let's change!
I have no absolute problem to take a completely different direction.
Do you want to concentrate over the Strikeforce plot, do you want Vanguard to be proactive toward resolving the pain in the ass Merlin is giving to them? OK!
But please, let's talk about what we want to do!
How about we say forget the island, forget the UN stuff, forget the Jack Merlin stuff, forget even the anti-mutant/metahuman stuff, and take this universe into a different direction as a whole?
You want change? Then, let's fucking change.
But, I simply cannot tolerate another moment of regurgitating the uber-detailed landscape of the almighty Vanguard Universe Continuity.
