I'll be honest, I lost all interest into posting my stories or comics here anymore for this community. I am already into 50 panels into comic #3, getting positive feedback on other sites.
I scratch my head, feeling my efforts would be wasted here, most likely.
Why spend hours posting it here or new stories? I just don't see the point.
I look into the stories posted here and I just roll my eyes now.
I always was happy that I always put life and personality and 'human' element in them. But all I see lately, is stories (evendo well written), most are about guys fucking robots until they break down. But the weird part for me, most of the stories get lots of positive comments and apprasals. Something I barely ever gotten.
So, it seem Duke and others were right, and my stories and comics are not much people's cup of tea here anymore, I suppose. Still, thank you for the few who did like them.
So, I been an active member here for a long time and always loved posting here, but... that's a totally different story now...
I almost posted again, but inside me, I get this feeling "who cares?"...
I would say, even before the BS of Duke, I find this forum got so cold and bleak. I remember Kishin and others, posting often, I would do stupid quizes and such.
I guess I just miss the old times.
Anyway, not fishing for comments or anything... I just feel I don't give a shit anymore, sadly.
So...I am sorry if I feel this way, but it's the honest thruth. I'll post random drawings in the fembotwiki sometimes, maybe. (Even my Emma art, in pictures, is so bleak, that I stop posting there too. Why bother, again?)
sight...

ps: Thank you, Robotman, helping me getting my first pro comic done. Was a learning curve!

Re: My rambling.. Should I give a shit or not?
i don't know about writting but about drawing...
don't do it for 'em
do it for you.
do what you like,
enjoy what you do.
enjoy yourself.
the moment you care about what we think you sink in the abyss of "it's not good enough and i gotta make the next thing more impressive" and you eventually feel depressed.
well, at least i think that happened to me.
and i would draw something to prove i don't care anymore about what people care, but apparently i don't care.
have fun mirageman.
also, eat some chocolate or sugarish thing, i recomend sweet coffe and cookies.

Re: My rambling.. Should I give a shit or not?
I've always liked your work...it'd be a shame if you stopped posting here. Not to mention I'd miss you here on FBC... As far as your art goes, I've already given you a ton of positive feedback for that, but sometomes it's really difficult to scroll down through all the old posts and pictures just to get to the new ones, and other issues. I hoope they can be resolved properly so you have a good place to put your comics and drawings (and stories!) somewhere. I just don't think the forum format works with the style of your work. That being said, I still love your drawings, especially the eyes, and I've always enjoyed your stories.

If it helps, I do in fact think that your art is pretty damn good nowadays.

Re: My rambling.. Should I give a shit or not?
I'm not sure why people get offended that they're not finding a wide open, socially active hugfest on a niche sex fetish site like this...
Sure, there are lots of varieties of people on here. But most are probably like me, and prefer to keep our heads down in the name of relative anonymity.
The point being - if you post things (and in general, create art) for the sole purpose of receiving positive feedback, rather than because you're compelled to do so... You might as well find something better or more fulfilling to do with your time.
And if you're going to bad mouth others for creating stuff you don't agree with - I don't see a need to tip-toe around the advice you really need:
Grow up. The world is full of unresponsive consumers of varying tastes. Personally, I haven't read anything you've posted in the last five years or so. And you should not care one bit that I don't like your stuff. Because someone else does. And you should be writing for yourself first, and those fans second. To hell with the haters like me.
But regardless of what you decide to do - I would whine about it a bit less publicly. Because you'll just alienate those who already dig what you do... Or find a more constructive way to vent your frustrations. Make a comic where one of your mechanical ladies sexily and creatively puts an end to all of the members you don't like! That could be hilarious.

Re: My rambling.. Should I give a shit or not?
If you do it expecting some reward or ratification you will always be disappointed and that will fuel itself destructively.
Where if you can find satisfaction in doing it for yourself without the need for praise you can be rightly proud regardless of commentary.
This was a lesson I was too young to learn myself when I needed to back in the day and something I've reflected on since.

Re: My rambling.. Should I give a shit or not?
This is just my two cents, but here I go.
When I joined this site in 2006, and lurked a little before, you were one of, if not the most, prominent author on the site. I loved your stories, you made many different stories with many different characters. I'm with Kishin in that I don't appreciate your art the same as your written works, but that is not to say your art is bad, I just preferred the stories...despite the grammatical errors.
I also have to say, that along with Silent_Lurker and Serf's stories, your stories were a major factor inspiring my decision to write stories here.

Re: My rambling.. Should I give a shit or not?
I suppose the main question is: what is one after? Is the art an end in itself or is it merely a means to gain something else, such as praise?
Why put effort into the act of creation? Isn't it to make something that one can be proud of? Isn't that the point of what could be termed 'art for art's sake'? In equal measure, what constitutes positive feedback? Positive feedback is usually synonymous with constructive criticism; that is to say feedback by which one can assess the strengths and weakness of an individual piece of work, which can then be used for literary self-improvement. Positive feedback is thus positive in the sense that it aids an artist/writer in developing his/her artistic/literary skills, not necessarily because it is approving or complimentary. Praise, while welcome, is usually not particularly constructive in a critical manner (and by praise, I mean comments such as 'Awesome story! Can't wait for the next chapter'). However, I must confess, your post seems to indicate that praise, or the lack thereof, seems to be the most obvious sticking point, rather than the more constructive type of criticism. On the other hand, If I've misunderstood (and the brevity of your post allows for ambiguity in the term 'positive feedback'), then please forgive me for the mistake.
If one is after praise, then unfortunately, one must realize that one is entirely at the mercy of the reading public; if that public enjoys one thing and not another, there is, in truth, very little one can do to change it. If sex (which is in truth the basic appeal of many recent stories on the board) sells, then one can infer that there is something therein that is likable/pleasing to a reading public; or at the very least that the reading public likes that type of story. This is a matter of preference, rather than merely writing style or subject matter alone. People like what they like; and its not unusual to comment on something they like.
As asking people to change what they like is an exercise in futility, one should instead ask: what is it about these stories that appeals to the reading public? Therefrom one should ask oneself: should I compromise my art (assuming that it is less well-received or different to what is popular) to gain the approval of or popularity within that reading public? This last question necessarily brings one to the original question: what is one after? If it is the art itself, then what does it matter if people care, since the art is the end, not its reception?
I'll be honest, I lost all interest into posting my stories or comics here anymore for this community. I am already into 50 panels into comic #3, getting positive feedback on other sites.

Re: My rambling.. Should I give a shit or not?
Realise, I don't mean I am quitting my art and stories, au contraire, I have been working on Emma comic #3 and been posting on other sites, where I do get positive feedback and such. Been improving my art too, if you noticed it too? I even added word boxes to make everything better in comic #3.
Emma comics means a lot for me, as.. Heck, I got my first PRO comic job due to it! I must be doing something right!
Anyway, I do now understand it's not much people's cup of tea here, it seems...
I am sorry to the ones who enjoyed it. I thank you for the ones who praised it.
I do plan to post the comics here one day, but it will be a while, I think.
I wish everyone well until then.
bye

Re: My rambling.. Should I give a shit or not?
You have given your two cents, now let me give mine.
No offense? But stop whining about this.
I have been here for a long while now. I have noticed that this site is an erotic-focused website, obviously, and people have their preferences. Malfunctions are a huge chunk of those preferences. It has been since I was first here over...two? Three years ago? What other people like compared to what you like does not make you superior, nor does it automatically make you a pariah.
You are one of the best-established artists on here, I respect you for that. You have been making comics since the start of things here, back when this site had an honest-to-goodness gallery. I put you right up there with Robotman, Body, Thurosis and BA in terms of artistic respect. But this? What you are doing right now is immature, ridiculous and most of all, unfair to your fans here. What you are doing with this is telling them "hey, you guys aren't giving me enough praise and not enough of you like what I like. So fuck you, I won't do anything for you here anymore."
I have so far contributed to this website in a few shitty manipulations and one story which received a fair amount of praise. I feel honored to have just that. I can't tell you what I would do if I had your drawing talent, but I know I would appreciate the people who have given me the praise and drive to do what I have done, return the respect that they have given me over the years as best I can a lot more than you seem to at this moment.
I am not saying you suck, or are otherwise a bad artist. But this "suffering artist", "I'm packing up my ball and playing nextdoor" B.S is you basically giving the people who support you and enjoy your work a big, fat, middle finger. Ultimately, what you do is your business. But at least show some basic appreciation for the people who have given you as much praise as they have and have made your "career" here one of note.
Again, I'm not doing this because I hate you, or something. I just think that, as a fan of your work, this isn't the way you treat your fans here.

Re: My rambling.. Should I give a shit or not?
*hugstight*
*hugs*
I'm going to repeat this in very simple terms. Mirage, you have been responsible for some of the best stories on this forum (and some of the weirdest), and your art is damn good. But I don't think putting each panel of the comic (best way I can describe it) in its own reply to the story's master post works. It just gives you a ton of posts and they're hard to read that way. What I propose is you using your Wiki account and post the comics there in a linear fashion, so someone can read one panel, click a button and get to the next panel, and so on. Also, if you just write a story with no art, you can decide to post it on your Wiki account or here, or both. I think that allows you to reach your maximum audience and keep doing what you do, which you do very well.

Re: My rambling.. Should I give a shit or not?
What I will propose, is I will make a new account at Devaint Art or a neutral site, and post everything there, so, anyone, from any forums, can see it. But this will take lots a time, as I plan to turn all my pages (not panels) into Jpegs, and I have more than 80 pages right now to do, and one page takes 15 minutes to convert... so yaa...
I think why I have such a bone to pick here lately, is at the other sites, I do interact with lots of people there, and yes, I do get negative comments there too. But we talk about it, discuss.. I somehow wish it was like this here too, as I know we have tons of talented people here too.
I get frustrated here, as I don't see why it so hushs hush here.
But part of me does know, and I think I am very different from people here I guess. I don't take things like here so serious maybe (L).

Mirage,
You know I have been one of your biggest supporters and I look forward to every post you make. I pop on this site every day hoping for a post from you.
It's sad that you feel that this site isn't giving back what you want out of it.

Re: My rambling.. Should I give a shit or not?
I'm completely with Saya on this, by no means have you gotten zero positive feedback there are people here who really enjoy your work and have posted positive things. Acting the way you are really seems like your giving the people that have supported you a huge middle finger, and i understand you've been a large contributor to this site and that's awesome. But i generally dislike the attitude i've seen you portray lately. In any case though i wish you luck on your future projects.

I wasn't going to say anything because I didn't want to cause another fit but yeah. I agree with Saya and the others who are saying you're acting very badly about this. If other websites are doing a better job of stroking your ego and that's why you don't want to post for people here anymore, then goods luck with them.

Re: My rambling.. Should I give a shit or not?
Well, let's see the facts here...
I been posting my comic Emma here, which takes lots of my time. I received a few positive comments, but then, I get Duke, and a few others gimme quite a bashing how it's subpar. Even in this tread, a few comfirm too that they like much my stuff, or even don't read my stuff.
Even in my latest tread of my art, you have Battery, saying I should quite my format and go back at drawing by pencil.
So... How the fuck I am to react this? Realise, Emma, for me, it's one of my favorite thing I done in years, I have hundred of followers at other sites, loving it at others sites, it got me a job and such.
Seriously, put yourself in my shoes... You would want to continue posting somewhere when people say you doing shitty work?
I hate coming here now or posting, now, expecting stupid and negative comments.
And you wonder why I got so negative? Go read the comments, and see if you would like it if it was about you.

Re: My rambling.. Should I give a shit or not?
I do nothing but lurk anymore, but I gotta pop in to say something on this matter!
Mirage, enough with the damned tortured artist self-pity party! To put it as bluntly as possible, most people come here to fap at the sexy, malfunctioning things! M. Night Shyamalan style plot twists, people ending up dead, in bloody messy ways, or tales of morality don't really do it for most people. You have your answer. Stay, or leave. Pick one, but stop talking about how you "might" leave, if you don't get the praise you think that you're due!
If you have hundreds of followers on other sites, but you can't get over the fact that most people here, at a fetish site, don't care for your work, you're more of a self-absorbed prick than I ever imagined!
Mirage, enough with the damned tortured artist self-pity party! To put it as bluntly as possible, most people come here to fap at the sexy, malfunctioning things! M. Night Shyamalan style plot twists, people ending up dead, in bloody messy ways, or tales of morality don't really do it for most people. You have your answer. Stay, or leave. Pick one, but stop talking about how you "might" leave, if you don't get the praise you think that you're due!

Well, let's see the facts here...Mirage wrote:And you wonder why I got so negative? Go read the comments, and see if you would like it if it was about you.

You're right Mirage. I can imagine having so much positiveness directed at you makes it hard to whine.
You've proven time and again in this thread that all you care about is getting positive feedback, and LOTS of it. If anyone has any criticism. you just list them off as making a "stupid and negative comment" or "betraying you and being jealous". You have hundreds of people that tell you how great you are on some other site and never criticize you? Then go let them pander to your ego. Stop destroying our community with your public outbursts and bullshit.

Re: My rambling.. Should I give a shit or not?
All the creators have the necessity of hearing a as negative opinion as the same as an opinion desirable in a work.
No creators must decide worth of art by the efforts to.
A work is only a means of communication.
You should not ask the work which you desire about the meaning beyond it.
because,It is the work performed by your wishing.
sorry for automatic translation.
thanks

Re: My rambling.. Should I give a shit or not?
Since I mostly lurk around except when someone really sticks out at me as special I'll keep this short, but I feel like adding an opinion here.
Criticizing what people may or not like in a site like this is a bit out of place Mirage, not to mention your insight being wrong. There's been quite a few number of stories posted here who aren't just robosmut and actually have some good plots and keep people very engaged. Of the recent ones I can remember are WilloWisp's "Virus Alert", Gynoneko's "Corrupted" or LongtimeLurker's "Solipsistic" and "Prototype", as well as DarkRexx's recent "Simple Things" (Owe you a shout out on that Rexx, love the little universe you created in just those segments). Also my apologies if I haven't posted comments on those, I'm preety awful with forums.
These are just some examples of stories who's main focus isn't sex and have a good following.
I've never really been a fan of your work but decided against posting my opinion because of the DukeNukem discussion you had, but this clearly disruptive posting needs to stop. You have fans here, and much respect to them for putting up with something like this, and they like you, support you, and would hate see you go. End of story. You either stick here for them because they like your art or you don't.
Body has a good point as well but this has been discussed before in another post and it ended nowhere.
Finally, and my curious tibdit: Shouldn't this be on the Discussions forum instead of the Story forum? Somehow it doesn't seem like this belongs here.

Re: My rambling.. Should I give a shit or not?
I find it funny, that many post telling to get over it are by people that don't read or like my stuff.
Well, I am over it. I am done.
I am truly sorry to my fans here, but like mentionned, I will one day post links to my comics and such.
I think I just reach a treshold that I rather just leave behind and move on.
I think I just simply don't belong here anymore. Even my stories, don't have sex anymore.. much.. (L)... still have lots of deaths.. (L)...
I contributed a lot here, no one can't deny that. Most of my stories were never about 'the Fetish', I guess.. I rather be more main stream now :/
I got people all ages now, reading Emma comics and my other stuff.. I plan to redraw them as my art and techniques have gotten much better lately. Like mentionned, I use word bubble now (L).
Even at the other sites, when I finished Emma comic #2, I started a brand new comic, and within a week, I got mass emails asking me to continue Emma comics instead. And I did, because I knew it would make lots of people happy, including me.
Yes, I have a huge ego, and it serves me well, as even today, I received a huge complement by the biggest company in USA in one of my many other talents I also have, saying it was one of the best work they seen the entire year.
I always aim very high, and it pays off. I accomplish a lot in my life, and I am very proud of myself. Go big, or don't bother.
Sorry all the bs, I went out screaming and bitching like no else here, I hope others learn something from it... good or bad... I wish the best to this community, but Mirage is going on a long needed vacation from here.
Leave me a message if you want, I rather not close my account for now.
Thank you, Robotman and friends, you guys deserve all the praises.
Mirage
ps: do you guys still want me to post at wiki some art peices that I love to do sometimes?

Re: My rambling.. Should I give a shit or not?
I wasn't going to say anything but you're really starting to sound like one of those kids who yell "I'LL GO HOME! I HATE YOU ALL!" then storms out the door, only to return 10 seconds later and yell "I'M REALLY GOING!"... "I'M SERIOUS NOW!", then sticks around to see if anyone will say anything 
If you wanna stay, stay. If you wanna go, THEN GO! Go away, move on! Live your life! Just don't waste your time whining about people "don't praise you as much as you want to" NO ONE has an obligation to praise other people's works. Years ago I posted almost a dozen photomanips (they're still in the wiki, I think), each one took me almost 3 hours to make, to get them the way I wanted and yet I got... maybe 2... 3 responses. Did that caused me to go all emo on everyone? NO! Why? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT SEXBOTS WALKING AROUND WITH MISSING PARTS ARE NOT TO EVERYONE'S LIKING! People have different tastes, get over it! You're not the last cookie in the jar, you're not "more important" than anyone here. Stop putting yourself on a pedestal.
(FOUR talents! )
EDIT: I can also BURP whenever I want! (FIIIIIIIIVE talents!
)
