Honestly, I don't think his responses on Formspring are really much worse than Brian's were before he shut it down. I mean, if you get a ton of people going, "I WILL TRY TO TRAP YOU IN SEMANTICS AND PROVE YOU WRONG BECAUSE YOU HAVE SOMETHING POPULAR THAT I (DID/DIDN'T) LIKE," your responses will get to be the same way back.

He responds reasonably to the reasonably worded questions. I dunno, I might just be reading it in a tone different than you are, but it seems like he's not actually being purposedly vindicative towards the fans.

He could ignore the questions, sure, but if he's answering rude questions rudely, I dunno if it's really that big of a deal.

I haven't read the new one. Though it does amuse me that he made a new one 'cause his old one was too much vitriol, with the intent to be 'better' and it has apparently gone the same route.

He responds reasonably to the reasonably worded questions.
Having visited the MSPA forums before, I can say with some certainty that Andrew gets far more 'reasonably worded' questions than he answers, and he tends to answer a surprisingly large proportion of the stupid questions he gets.
He's not overwhelmed by an influx of trolls. He actively seeks them out because he finds it more fun to unleash his vitriol on them than to actually answer legitimate questions regarding the narrative.

Hence why his new account has basically progressed into the same downward spiral as the old one. Restarting from zero doesn't help any if his intent is still to engage in self-aggrandizing holier-than-thou bullshittery.

What really surprises me most with Andrew and the formspring accounts is how little he seems to care for his own characters. I know authors have to be willing to make difficult decisions in order to advance narratives and sometimes the protagonists have to fail and whatnot, but when I kill off a character I genuinely like in my story it really hurts. More than it'd certainly hurt any reader.

Andrew seems to marvel in creating wonderful, fully-realized three-dimensional characters, then despising those characters for how fickle and stupid and one-dimensional they are, and then relying on his own interpretation of their lack of worth or merit to kill them off when it's expedient. And when readers are bothered that their favorite character has died or something he can't seem to relate to them. He's actually bothered by the degree that someone else has invested into his characters. It's almost as if Andrew thinks it speaks poorly of us that we cared so much for his characters as to want anything more than a cursory, half-assed notification that they had died.

It's just weird for me as an author because like, whenever I kill off just about any character I write, even the antagonists, I'm the one who's miserable about it. I feel like I've lost a part of myself. Forget about readers even having to hold the vigil, I'd be the one preventing teary eyes thinking of their lost hopes and dreams and trying desperately to make sense of the death in larger contexts. If I was actually popular enough as an author to write works read by an audience I think I'd almost feel compelled to write some sort of reassuring commentary after every death, reflecting on why I wrote the character as I did and how I shared in the reader's pain.

From the bit I read of the new formspring it's way better than the old formspring.

Which is saying more about the old formspring than it does about the new formspring but there you go.

What does Formspring even mean?

Like, what's it even supposed to try to embody, that word?

Default Oh man, a flash would be awesome.
I have yet to touch the Formspring, and if it's affecting how people are enjoying the comic or whatever, then I guess I'm glad.

Meanwhile I will make this face.

(I will be sad once she does die though, because I will be sad and everyone else will apparently be partying. )': )

Still, fight flashes are always pretty sweet.

Oh, I agree. I'm mostly just overwhelmingly bitter over the fact that Rose didn't get to have one because "it would have been too hard." Ordinarily I'd be pretty excited to see this, as well, but quite frankly the surrounding circumstances have altogether killed my enthusiasm. It's the principle of the matter.

Also, I really don't know what the hell Hussie's talking about re: pushing the envelope and his own limits with every consecutive flash seeing as he still hasn't managed to make anything surpassing "[S] Enter" in terms of awesome.

Update.


Scratch looks absolutely terrifying with the 8^y face. Like, it literally scared me/made me jump.
