Yeah, no, don't sweat it. The other day, I was just in the mood to get a lot of this said, lest it be permanently in the back of my mind, never being able to move on from it. So I thought that I would just get it all said now, so that I can actually get back to what's important: Like college. And my own writing. and my own part time job. and playing Persona 4. Because, you know, having too many things on the mind means that I can't focus on any one thing! So, let me just SOLVE THE PART THAT CAN MOST EASILY BE FIXED FIRST.
And don't sweat it! at the end of the day, my advice for you is to make sure you are having fun with this project as your top priority! I'm the same way! I can see that you are also one of those weirdoes that actually wants criticism and feedback, and again, I am the same way. I post some fan fics to my deviantart account every once in a while, (Still DukeofBrittany there too!), and I am always looking for feedback and ways to improve... and half the time I feel like I can only get one of my friends to actually read and criticize my stuff. (And since I spent so many hours giving you a full deconstruction of your work, is it possible you could look over some of my stuff at some point? If not, that's fine. There's no TF related content on there, and most likely if I was to start making TF content, I would make an alt account to do it, so...) So, yes, I very much understand the tedium and suffering that can come with the creative process. People don't understand how important giving and receiving criticism is, so i'm glad that a lot of my ideas resonate with you. Hope whatever your current situation is either sorts itself out, or you are able to sort things out positively!
Anyway, i'm going to write you your second essay on cursed items, then get back to my college work. Hope you have a good day!
