I’ll admit...I was largely inspired from :iconangelthewingedcat:’s own journal. Now...I’m not particularly mad at anyone at all, and I’m honestly sorry if I made anyone feel bad about themselves, it’s not my intention.  But I would really appreciate if those of you could speak up more and point out things that seem off in my stories, artwork along with being more honest; instead of a just a simple ‘good job’ or ‘great work’ can do more harm than good to most. I’ve noticed this since I was doing the Mystery Case Files; most notably during the Evil Tracy arc. Though granted, I think a large portion of that was using a villain from an anime not a lot of people knew to be honest. And not that many people knew how dark and unfitting he was for the tone the MCF series was Before the MCF ended, when I still did the stories; I had begun to notice that there were rarely anyone that pointed out stuff that seemed just out of place in my stories The only people that made me realize that I really needed to decide if I wanted to pursue writing as more than a hobby and actually try to improve on my writing. I couldn’t thank them enough for all they’ve done so far, we wouldn’t have gotten as close as we are now if still wanted to push through with that arc. And without them...I’d probably still be back to my old self.

That arc was honestly my best worst mistake. It was not my finest work. Ever since the MCF was done I always thought..‘maybe I can rewrite it and make it better now that I’m really trying harder’. And I had wanted too once,  But I always encountered problems because who I have for Tracy and Tricia’s biological parents, and who the girls are as characters now. Not to mention, Death Note was way unfitting and would not fit in the world of Ben 10.

Honestly...it would mean a lot if you guys could be more honest with me often. I promise I won’t be mad or upset by whatever you guys have to say.. One of my wishes for the near future aside working in animation someday, or in theater; is to possibly write a book. And I’m using fanfiction as a way to help me improve on my writing skills. I can’t really go on much with just good work and great or awesome job all the time. It honestly gets tiring fast. Again, in no way I am mad at anyone. But I could really use the help more in my stories and art. Because I’m getting really tired of being one of the few people who actually wants to try and help point things out with others stories, only to get slapped in the face sometimes. To be honest it’s really rude to be treated like that when I want to help you guys improve on your writings.

I mean..how would you guys feel if I treated you guys that constantly by refusing your help by being stubborn wanting my ideas to go through even though they really don’t work in the eyes of the readers?

This is not the case with everyone, I know there’s been a few people here and then who help out and I thank you guys a lot for that. I feel like not a lot of people point out those mistakes. And if you guys see a problem with casting in one of my future fanmakes or my upcoming stories, or even with my OCs, please come to me like I said. And I promise with the best of my ability I’ll try to understand. Whether it’d be a spelling or grammar error or overall problems with the paragraph in general.

Course, I do apologize again if I sounded rude or harsh or making you feel bad. It’s really not my intention at all.

Tracy, not everyone likes criticism...to those who don't criticism is like a huge kick to the balls, if they're male, or much rather like a stinging blow to their own personal pride.
