Guys you are wasting your time. Don't you read the author's blog?
sburubauthor Wrote:...[the story process] has largely outgrown the need of reader suggestion; the existing suggestion boxes have long become a formality. With such a massive pool of suggestions at my disposal, I could potentially take the story in any direction, and someone will have already suggested it. Be it a simple command like :"An out of control truck crashed into your living room" or "your name is Racist" the possibilities have become endless. When it comes to basic story progression suggestions such as "who cares?", I don't even bother combing through the suggestions. I know the suggestion is already there, repeated countless times.
Where the old system really becomes tedious is with the so-called "funny" suggestions. "Access memory banks" may seem like a hoot to the casual reader, but it shows they have no comprehension of the creative process. When crafting a story, I can't indulge every immature comedic impulse. This isn't the "joke a week" webcomic. I'm working to build a story with farther reaching implications and utilizing more mediums than any Internet story to date. Like any great artist I can't limit my art to a single creative source (which is also full of all possible avenues)...
[parallels between self and classical world famous painters and musicians]
[thematic analysis of own story and needless numerical analysis]
[religious symbolism]
...I will still take reader input in more subtle ways, such as responding to petty arguments and selling your art and music. Occasionally an idea presented in a thread will influence my thought process and thereby the direction of the story, but of course this is inevitable so the idea is still completely my own and any prediction of the story's direction by a reader is just a lucky guess among a mass of wrong guesses or the result of my well placed intentional foreshadowing...
I guess we could keep this thread as a historical thread, or maybe convert it to an IDE theory thread.

...for a second there I thought that whole thing was an actual hussie quote, rather than just the first paragraph.
which is good because i don't want to have to vomit.

Oh yes that's right. You were doing what THAT BLACK GUY WITH THE MAGIC RING AND COOL POWERS AND SHIT was telling you to do. You weren't really paying all that much attention but you think the gist of it was to kill some guys, not kill some other guys and to maybe get him a cup of tea if you happened to spot a cafe on this godforsaken world.

Ignore all name suggestions, assign name according to arbitrary pattern and then rant about how it was the only acceptable solution.

IXCALIBER stands by his computer because he lost his chair.
What do you want with him, he's a busy man.
All of a sudden, something crashes through the wall!

IXCALIBER is pretty sure she took a wrong turn somewhere.

You are now the incredibly plot-significant hole in the wall. Though an outside observer might erroneously conclude that you were only created today by Ixcaliber smashing through you, you know that to be a vast oversimplification.
The complex-but-inevitable chain of events leading to your existence began months ago, with every fully-documented step in the process being absolutely essential.
Regardless, now you exist and it's time to get on with your critical role in the story. What was that, again?
