Well first off that is ENTIRELY subjective. And just because something has connotations of depression doesn't mean it can't be well written or a work of art, not to mention there are a variety of books, stories, movies, art etc that are EXTREMELY depressing yet people consume it anyway.you are ignoring the part where it was stated that
I would fix them, if it was needed, then finish it, simple as. But as said any attempt to even look, judge for ourselves, or even just wing it is looked down on and gets viciously attacked.would you finish a great architects work if they had allowed major structural flaws into its foundation?
So the reader has ZERO input in the process? Does a reader's critique mean so little? I don't generally write stories as I consider myself a hack, I gravitate more towards singing and songwriting anyway.and i find it idiotic that you, who admitted to be lacking in talent for writing, seem to disregard the opinion of people who do have talent in writing when they say its best to leave Will's work alone.
That does not prove any intent on their part, it is ENTIRELY up to interpretation. For all we know they were just dissatisfied with it and would prefer if someone else stepped in and picked up with what they finished already.i quite literally just showed evidence that Will deliberately did not submit at least one project that was otherwise considered complete.
You seem damn intent on trying to dissuade people from lamenting about or continuing a well done work, in some blind belief it will protect the previous author in some way.no, its not white knighting. nobody is trying to protect anybody from anything else with the moral high ground. you received a (strongly worded) recommendation to not follow a given train of thought because of established history and information.
Yes it is gatekeeping as you are denying or attacking anyone seeking an opportunity to at least TRY to work on it. Case in point our recent tiff here!and no, its not gatekeeping. that recommendation included a suggestion to write something else, rather than follow a bad train of thought.
Its hypocrisy in the sense that we are all free to work or submit anything we like EXCEPT anything related to mentioned unfinished content, because if god forbid someone makes that intention know they get dogpiled immediately. Again hypocrisy.and it certainly isn't hypocrisy, which isn't even relevant in this conversation. it would be hypocrisy if we were saying not to complete something and then went ahead and completed something else ourselves.
Says the person who is ignoring any sense of practicality or logic.like many people, you seem intent on cherry picking and ignoring information that doesn't validate you.
