I know, I keep trying to get away from that buffet, and they keep luring me back in with the promise of Spite Cupcakes and Bittermint Ice Cream. ^_~

I want to be positive, I want to support everyone who does this sort of thing. But it becomes hard when the prevailing attitudes range from "go to bed, old man/woman!" to "I am god-emperor of American manga and I created it in six days, and rested on the seventh!". There are an actual few who seem to be very genuine, nice creators with interesting stories they want to tell. But a few bad apples can really spoil the whole bunch, in this case. -_-;
