_{Oh man VIVI you rock my socks you are awesome<3}

Ahh, UD, UD. You don't have to be so vehement; those who fight against the inevitability of time suffer more than those who simply accept their inferiority and go do something productive like scrapbooking.

It occurs to me that I've been trying to show you the truth in the wrong way. I've been trying to use reason and logical arguments; you'll only listen to fanatical statements and crazy lies. Therefore, I shall try to speak your language, and then we shall see if you're really as deluded as you act, or if you're just senile. Following the example you yourself set, I shall now employ a dogmatic, unenlightened technique to get through to your head.

To wit:

Quote from: 1 Timothy 4:12

Let no one make little of you because you are young.

Oh man that left a bad taste in my mouth. Regardless, there it is. Now excuse me while I work to include lessons of science and history into my fiction, and not mindless dogma.

This is not to say that I do not pity you, UD. I can understand your reluctance to concede victory to a clearly superior opponent. That's how elections work, after all. You really did raise the fandom's expectations as to the quality of fanfiction. But you must realize that you can no longer meet the standard, no longer deliver on your promises. Those of us who can, like me, should be welcomed with open arms, not attacked with metaphorical canes by old fogeys like you who can't understand that the audience wants something fresh, something new, and that you are not it.

Good night, UD. Don't let your knee problems bother you too much when you wake up. Maybe I can get Komachi to send some cash your way so you can afford a wheelchair. Toodles~

for the posterity.

And the man in the back said 'Everyone attack!' and it turned into a ballroom blitz!
And the girl in the corner said 'Boy, I want to warn you it'll turn into a ballroom blitz!'
Ballroom Blitz.

Quote from: VIVI

Freaking awesome picture.

Oh god thank you, that is amazing.

To Ruro:

It's just like someone so young and unlearned in the ways of life to throw all chance for happiness into novelty.

People may want something fresh and new, Ruro. They don't get it. Ever. Good fiction is unavoidably a regurgitation of scenarios, ideas and truths that have been preached by people wiser than you for thousands of years. Good storytellers tell the truth. Wise men tell the truth. Philosophers tell the truth. This is all because the truth never changes, by definition. Hacks and quacks aim for originality, and are forgotten in a year while the soothsayers are remembered forever. And those who tell the truth of their fiction satiate people's desire for originality as a side benefit, not its own goal.

You wouldn't understand this, Ruro. You can't. Your writing, though noble in its attempt to bring a Touhou flavor to the grand sweeps of history, ultimately fails both at your attempts of originality and any hope of the truth that all readers secretly crave. Combine that with a slew of needless words, especially with a profuse overdose of adverbs, and an overall amateurish authorial style, and your utter failure is complete and undeniable.

You get the popular support in this argument, Ruro, but take no pride in it. You benefit unfairly from something called the Queen Bee effect. As a rare female in a swarm of males, all the boys are disproportionately nice to you. They support you beyond the reason of our arguments. It's the modern, polite-society version of many males fighting to offer their spermatozoa to the ruling female.

This irrationally-minded support from the males within the Touhou fan community is no compliment to your merits as an author or an arguer, Ruro. Remove that slush from your fandom, and what is left? A few people who derive some small enjoyment from your writings. But what have I accomplished without even being female? A website with thousands of hits every month, and popularity derived solely from my merits and not at all from my physiology.

In other words, my dear Ruro, you can't beat me in a fair fight.

Ah, poor UD. In being the one to make this thread, he has acknowledged that he is the challenger, the one who has something to prove.

I bet five Idiot Energy on Ruro.

Global Mod > Gensokyo Cop.

Sorry bro, but Ruro's got you beat~ I'm not sure what you even hoped to gain from all this...

I mean, if you really want, someone could always issue a challenge to the two of you to find out who's really the better one, but somehow I doubt the other mods would really care about such a thing...

The time of retribution!

DECIDE THE DESTINY!

Its probably worth noting that I find Ruro's work beautiful and attention grabbing, and for that matter, outright masterful in some respects. I've never been able to finish/stomach a UD fic. :B

Ok, then all is well

Helepolis · « **Reply #79 on:** December 07, 2009, 08:16:39 AM »

So what happens if a person ( me ) hasn't read neither UD's or Ruro's fiction?

Rocks fall, everyone dies and must use a continue. >:|

Ruro, UD, I'm happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but Kilgamayan's one of the best fanfic writers of all time.

Helepolis · « **Reply #82 on:** December 07, 2009, 09:54:10 AM »

And I was wondering who would make that obvious joke as it was so wide open. Seems like someone couldn't resist it :V

Bias Bus · « **Reply #83 on:** December 07, 2009, 10:08:25 AM »

I support UD in his endeavors. I sense that the power of hatred and anger runs strong in this one...

I shall give him my blessing...

Solais · « **Reply #84 on:** December 07, 2009, 10:10:13 AM »

OH MAH GOD UD IS EXPLAADING!!!

Then, if you want to fight, then I offer you a Challenge! Write a retelling of Highly Responsive to Prayers! No limitations, you can do whatever you want with it, the only limitations would that it must fit into the Canon somehow. Then people will vote to the best!

Dragoshi · « **Reply #85 on:** December 07, 2009, 10:20:49 AM »

uh, I hate to interrupt your dramatic moment but. ...it's Highly Responsive to Prayers.

* Dragoshi coughs

just sayin'.

Solais · « **Reply #86 on:** December 07, 2009, 10:36:13 AM »

Really? That makes... less sense. Fix'd.

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #87 on:** December 07, 2009, 10:36:39 AM »

UD has a getting owned fetish. I mean, this is less Clash of the Titans and more the Mouse who Roared. =[

And Ruro's not using Z motions. How kind of her. =]

UD vs. Ruro in a battle of fanfiction: Ruro wins.
UD vs. Peter Chimera in a battle of fanfiction: Peter Chimera wins
UD vs. triangles in a battle of fanfiction: triangles wins because she doesn't write fanfiction.

UK, your thoughts: is UD a candidate for having a master and getting dom'd? Because frankly, there's a fine line between self-effacement and getting off on suffering, and since I'd rather not try the opposite by praising UD in order to bring him down (what's to praise? I am disappoint) and he's crossing it with a whip pointing in the wrong direction.

Nietz · « **Reply #89 on:** December 07, 2009, 01:59:09 PM »

As far as I'm concerned, VIVI now is winning the UD x Ruro battle.
Call me when you two have something interesting to present.
And by interesting I mean pieces of Brohou slash fic.
