Completely bullcrap, considering you fanfics are the king of spamdom Cloud Unchained. You post one repetitive fanfic about a character you didnt create, and 99.99% of your fanfic threads are spam with random silly comments that make no sense whatsoever to a normal person. Weather your fanfics are good or bad is totally up to the reader, but I feel you have no right to post these absurd comments. While spamful, your fanbase is halfway decent, you might have less readers then Ryu, but not even by a large margian, especially since your fanbase of a dozen people have posted enough for 30 or 40 people.
Many of them read mine too? Why? A) I ask them through the chat. B) They are my friends, they are Ryu's friends. Why shouldnt they read their friends works? Seriously, I get extra posts in my graphics threads alot because all of my friends wanna see my works.
How is that discrimination?
discrimination
n 1: unfair treatment of a person or group on the basis of prejudice [syn: favoritism, favouritism] 2: the cognitive process whereby two or more stimuli are distinguished [syn: secernment]
No one has said "Cloud Unchained is a normal member so his fanfiction sucks". That is totally irellavent. People read Ryu's fanfics either A) Because they are his friends. B) It has gained popularity due to its satire of KHInsider. or C) Its plain good or interesting. I'm a moderator, probably more well known then Ryu at times, and yet some of my fics have gotten no attention whatsoever.
Then why do most of them do? And even if they didnt, why do they come back? Because they like the story. They dont just come back because "Everyones reading it lol"
They dont read it because its his story, they read it because they feel its enjoyable. You are right though that many fanficers get bye with minimal readers, but thats the way the game is played, you catch the attention of that audience, and thats what Ryu has done, with his KHI Satire. Why didnt Raito's do as well? Simply because it was a "been there done that" to Ryu's, and Raito is a moderator is he not? Heck, I have to FORCE even my friends to read my longest fic so far, there are only a few who actually check on the thread without me going up to them and saying "Yay i updated!!" It has nothing to do with the author's name, but the story itself.
No offences, but I feel that this needed to be pointed out.
So if we read it everyone does? Far from it my friend, its because we are in it instead. Ryu placed us in the stories in a comical satiristic situation, thats why people read it. It has people they know, but a story about them. They read it because it interests/relates to them, not because a mod made it.
How in the world are they destroying any spirit whatsoever. Explain or this has no point whatsoever. "Spirit of fics" Har

It could be close to favoritism but its not, they are reading it because A) The know the people in this fic, or B) They enjoy the fic. Not because ___ fic is better then ___ fic because ___ wrote it.
What about me? Raito? No sense whatsoever. You cant be getting the cold shoulder because of your discrimination, possibly people have no interest in your fanfics whatsoever. That is most likely why. That doesnt necessarily mean yours, or mine, is worse. That has nothing to do with the popularity of Ryu's fic.
You cant say your invention is being neglected because someone else's is getting hyped, thats childish.
Milkman hasn't EVER posted in the fanfic forum, but he just so happens to read yours.
Suspicious? Let's delve deeper.

Same case as Milkman. I can name more if you'd like.

My arguement is that because you have a higher position in the forum, people are more attracted to read yours than read other member's stories because we aren't known around the forum. I consider it discrimination. I see your fanbase (other than Megaflare, Monkey, Darky, Kairigirl, and jk4eva) as the bandwagon and everyone had jumped in.

Did you fail to realize that everyone in the bandwagon might not even know who some of those characters might be?

I've read the fic and I found it quite amusing. But what really ticks me off is that people would just come here to read YOUR story and disregard all of the other writers who are barely getting by with three or four readers.
They dont read it because its his story, they read it because they feel its enjoyable. You are right though that many fanficers get bye with minimal readers, but thats the way the game is played, you catch the attention of that audience, and thats what Ryu has done, with his KHI Satire.

Of course it is. Ryu, Monkeybutt, and Flare are the Holy Trinity of KHI as we know it.

It has people they know, but a story about them. They read it because it interests/relates to them, not because a mod made it.
I see your point, but I'm trying to say is that the members that I had listed as "bandwagon" members are destroying the spirit of reading fics.
How in the world are they destroying any spirit whatsoever. Explain or this has no point whatsoever. "Spirit of fics" Har
but if people are going to read Ryu's fic only because he is a mod that's discrimination.

And for us regular/premium members who are writing for an audience of four, it seems as if we're given the cold shoulder.
