Hey there Scooby. I haven't talked to you a lot (or to anyone, really - it's sad but I don't have too much time to dedicate to this wiki), but anyway I just wanted to say that I read the two blogs you posted today and I'm glad you're not leaving because I can really sympathize with what you say there.

I believe I've joined the wiki around the same time as you, and I've been trying to write some battles lately (well, my last one was a few weeks ago, actually, but I have a new one planned to upload this Saturday). My blogs never get many comments, so I know exactly how you feel. I try to remain positive, stick to the idea that: hey, only one person enjoyed this battle but that's enough. One person enjoyed it. Maybe everybody else hated it, or maybe they didn't even read it, but one person did, that's enough to make me happy and ready to write another one.

But even so, I once wrote a battle (the first one of my series no less) that got literally no comment at all. None, zero. Nobody enjoyed it. What do I say to myself then? I say: hey, I enjoyed it! That should be enough too. Naturally, we all want to write something that will be appreciated by as many people as possible. And we should try to please as many people as possible. But if we can't, if we fail at that, it doesn't mean it wasn't worth the effort. If you're writing because you enjoy it and it makes you feel good, it shouldn't matter that nobody else really likes it. At least that's what I think, and it sure helps me get past the disappointment of receiving little or no comments.

Well, that message turned out rather long, but I hope it makes you feel better, a little bit. Also, if you ever want to collaborate in a fanmade battle, feel free to give me a call if you wish. Can't say I'm a good lyricist, but I might be able to help, depending on which characters you're using. Hope your blog returns soon and sincerely hope your next battles turn out good, at least for you, and hopefully for everyone who reads them as well. See you around :)
