Re: Hello, old friend
Date: 2015-04-13 12:41 am (UTC)I've already been to the "At Least I admit It" trope page. It being a villain trope ultimately means nothing, especially since real life doesn't truly have villains like you so obviously believe.
You seem to refer to every grudge as "silly". Perhaps I should point out that you plagiarized Man Called True's work WHILE having the gall to still call him your friend? And you never apologized for it either. Suddenly, the grudge doesn't seem silly at all. In fact, with that in mind, it's perfectly understandable. You betrayed a friend and never made amends. ANYONE would develop a grudge for that.
Re: Hello, old friend
Date: 2015-04-13 12:52 am (UTC)None of those Tropes on your Troper page are positive traits.
As for this grudge you two have, it makes the following Tropes apply to you both:
Disproportionate Retribution
Revenge Before Reason
Irrational Hatred
Windmill Crusader (there was no plagiarism)
The Resenter
and Unknown Rival (to me; I never cared about this silly "war" you had)
Not to mention So Unfunny Its Funny on occasion. (Because it's so pathetic that he's kept obsessing so long and devoted an ENTIRE BLOG to it. I never saw so much work put into such a trivial matter.)
Re: Hello, old friend
Date: 2015-04-13 01:22 am (UTC)Again, this blog doesn't exist just to make fun of you. Have you never looked under the "Writing Index" link in this page? Or hell, not noticed all my Twitter reposts?
Since we're listing tropes, here's some that apply to you and your work:
- Serial Numbers Filed Off (for freely stealing from D&D, among other things)
- Franchise Zombie
- Small Name, Big Ego
- Smug Snake
- Hypocrite
- Deader Than Disco (NOBODY likes your stories anymore, Brian. Most people who like the Shadowchasers universe like what other writers have done with it. And don't give me FF.net reviews; that place is a giant echo chamber.)

Re: Hello, old friend
Date: 2015-04-13 01:27 am (UTC)The reason the grudges still stand is because YOU insist reigniting them. Therefore, it's your fault grudges are being held against you for this long.
I can easily see several of those tropes applying to you instead.
Disproportionate Retribution: You have a tendency to demonize anyone whom you feel has caused you an injustice and you seek to lead raids against them. Also, you're threatening make both of our lives a living hell. All this over something you're better off letting go.
Revenge Before Reason: You making the attempts on us without any foresight as to whether anyone would take you seriously or not, or even what it could do to your reputation. I understand you have a lot of fans. It would be such a shame if they were to abandon you because you became so obsessed with revenge. Also, you could just let it go and no one wold fault you for it.
Irrational Hatred has overlap with The Resenter: You've established it all before even meeting us. You hold grudges against everyone who you feel has done a slight against you, even when you've done more than enough to deserve said slight.
Windmill Crusader is debunked because plagiarism was confirmed, and there's nothing you an do the change that. Maybe in your dreams there is, but this is not your dream, and it certainly doesn't revolve around you (or anyone else, for that matter).
A few other tropes that apply to you:
Manchild: You act like a spoiled brat when you're not given your way and you throw childish tantrums. Horus over on TAPIR said it himself: your rant makes you look like a screaming child. You're even being referred to as juvenile. You are also in your late thirties to early forties.
Never My Fault: Fighteer said it himself, and I quote: "You insist on blaming people for trying to help you correct your mistakes." You may have denied it, but it was really quite obvious that you were blaming others for things that were your fault. Also, plagiarists and spoiled children FREQUENTLY play the blame game and refuse to accept that their actions may be wrong.
Also, I personally never said it was a "war", so I'd suggest you get your facts straight before you jump to conclusions.
This blog isn't a huge snark like what you make it out to be. Really, it's just harmless sporking. If you ignore it, it really wouldn't hurt you. Hell, you can even derive some amusement from his picking apart your works.
Finally, no matter how you view things, no matter what you want, now matter what you think should be happening, you are no where near as great a guy as you think you are, And nothing you ever say or do will change that. It's a simple fact beyond your control.
Also, you didn't really think Horus would take your side, did you?

Date: 2015-04-24 12:58 pm (UTC)I haven't heard a peep out of them, and I'm still on Fanfic, so it seems their investigation has come up empty.
"Windmill Crusader is debunked because plagiarism was confirmed"
Only in your mind.
Re: Hello, old friend
Date: 2015-04-24 01:08 pm (UTC)Plagiarism remains confirmed because you confessed to it at an earlier date. Nothing you say or do will ever change that fact.
Now grow up and get over it. Otherwise, enjoy being treated as a spoiled brat.
