Nowhere has it been expressed that we have a ban on serious things in the PPC. Nowhere at all has that been the main concern here with Huinesoron's works.
The concern is that he is writing things that will, intentionally or not, force everyone to follow him and what he is doing.
Neshomeh was not scolding him for writing something serious. It was for writing something that shook the PPC up a great deal, did not actually inform people about- when this first came up she expressed concerns about Drama and so on. She was assured it would not be the case, and we also had a look over at one of the items involved. We were given and informed of one thing, and this presented us with something entirely different.
Now, I must apologize, because this goes against something we try to emphasis against, with regards to this statement:
Once you get permission, there's no difference between "Newbie" and "Oldbie".
Unfortunately, this is not true. Once you have permission, it only means you have permission. Nothing more, nothing less. It means you are less of a newbie. It does not automatically mean you are an oldbie. An oldbie, by any meaning, is someone who has been around. They have seen the community grow, and change. They have seen what has happened, and have been involved in those things.
Your perspective as a newbie is completely different. Please take this in the politest way possible: you do not actually know what you are saying.
I'm a newbie here, but as for the Tawaki thing, I see no reason for you not to say, "Hang on, This doesn't seem right." I've looked at said agents profile, and yeah. I'd say he seems to be a bit of a Stu.
The reason that no one said that is because when this first went on, we very much subscribed to what Kaitlyn has described. It's not our right to interfere with what he's writing. It doesn't change what the rest of us write, after all. We have no place calling him out on his agents since he has permission. And so on.
Unfortunately, if we had said something early on, we'd not have had what happened. We would not have had multiple massive ripoffs of various canon plots, nor would we have had several wrongfully overpowered agents around. We would not have the current moratorium on events and crises.
The reaction to Huinesoron's story here, for the most part, is because, if I understand correctly Neshomeh's thoughts here, she is concerned that he is doing something that is restrictive to the PPC as a whole, for the worse. This is not due to his skill or ability as a writer, or what he personally has done. It has to do with how everyone else interprets and or thinks of how they should implement it in their own stories.
The PPC is not intended to be a massive serious place. It is a loose web of strands, spin-offs connected to others, but not all of them.
People have already told me they're worried about how they're supposed to be reacting to this story of hS'. Their view of the PPC doesn't align with what he's shown here, they have said. Their thoughts on how meta the PPC is doesn't align with what he's shown here, they have said. Their agents wouldn't think like this, they have said. Now, they are worried because they think they have to follow it, since hS wrote it.
I appreciate that you've decided to speak up here, but the thing is, you have no background to base what you are saying on, and you have no understanding of the history of what has happened before to appreciate Neshomeh's concerns, or the concerns of others where this is involved.
