Well, the reason I had deleted the thread was because I felt it was a train-wreck. People were sniping at each other, a lot of us were hurt by the abrasive manner of Zero's criticisms (and if I had to be honest, I'd suspect a few were upset by the criticisms themselves, since when you're dealing with a lot of people there are bound to be at least some emotional invest in the project), intentions were misread (I'll sheepishly admit I misread Burnt Flower's post myself as saying we were all rude), and because I myself made a poorly-realized first post that did little to address things like the nature of the villain (who's still in flux - your concrits, and Zero's, were helpful and we did listen to them/discuss them, mostly offsite). I'm sorry if it felt like no one was listening to you or that you were talking to an inflexible brick wall - as one of the two head editors of this project, don't feel like I'm not trying to do everything in my power to make sure this project is at least good, if not the most original. I'd have to ask everyone else in the club if it's okay to let you come in for a little bit - as long as we can all stay civil to each other (and if you can check your pessimism off at the door - not that it's not healthy or not warranted, but I really don't want another squabble breaking out or more wounded egos), and you can make your points in peace, I suppose it can work out. But I'm only one person, and I have to listen to the opinions of the whole group...
