William's Wall

[Couch]

Oh fuck that's what was going on behind the curtain on top of everything else?

You've been told this.

Will made himself extremely depressed attempting to force out more writing for this game and realised he had to stop for the sake of his own health. He needed a clean break and that's why he's not here to address any of this. It's not much more complicated than that.

I am not on the Discord. There is no secret cabal of PMs that I am in. I have exactly the same information as you, except unlike you, I can fucking read. You claim to care so much about these projects and yet you seem to have no memory of anything said about them, probably because it doesn't validate you continuing to joust at this windmill.

Maybe I'll see if i can ask him myself

Don't you fucking dare. Leave the man alone and accept that he washed his hands of this, you selfish prick.

Will's projects are dead. Anyone who has the writing ability necessary to finish them also has enough brains to recognize what a horrible idea it would be, and everyone who continues to lust after them has openly admitted that they have no ability to do the only part of writing for this game that's actually hard. Nobody will come to do it for you, so this is where the line ends. All you're doing by continuing to pursue this is making me well and truly furious at you in a way I haven't been furious at anyone in this forum since fucking Franks.

Just respect Will's wishes to leave and leave his projects be. It doesn't matter if it sucks that his stuff is abandonware, it really is for the best that it is that way.

I've fought with depression many times and it really can ruin your want to do things you've been doing for a long time, I'm lucky it hasn't destroyed my desire to draw entirely but I've needed to leave fandom/community spaces for the sake of my own health to even find enjoyment in drawing again a few times here or there bc it was so fucking draining and I found no enjoyment in doing it unless I split that space. If he wants to wash his hands of this game, let him, don't try to bother him, don't poke the bear. Literally leave it be and respect that and maybe just give best wishes instead of pushing constantly for that "someone" to take up his stuff that is already stated to be a bad idea.

I hope he finds happiness outside FenGames imo and that he will be able to mentally heal in doing so. He doesn't need to come back and tell us that even if he's not continuing writing, because tbh I have a hunch if he did people will start pushing more. And like Couch said, this not being understood is really really frustrating to watch when it's been said point blank why it's like this but that reason why keeps being missed.

Just wish him well, and leave this thread to die, it is that easy.

You're right, I've been a total dent head with this, I'm sorry.

I know it may be hard to believe but I genuinely didn't remember the stuff about Will having been depressed.

As for why I've been so stubborn on this... I've always really wanted to contribute to this game. Carve my own tiny piece of immortality onto the internet. And I though I saw an opportunity with this, and I didn't want to let it slip away.

Regardless, this will be the end of it. No more. I won't talk about it ever again.

You still can. Just don't use this as a springboard. Do your own thing, be your own person.

Thanks man. That means a lot to me. But I'm also thinking I should be more aware of my own limits...

Idk. I'll give some more thought into this. I'm helping someone else with their own submission project right now, so maybe that'll help me find my stride.
