And that's why I should remember not to work in groups
I've been writing a fanfiction of my favorite character, Michael Morbius. Don't be surprised if you have no clue who that is.
He hasn't been written since 2013 in Spider-Man comics and hasn't been a predominant character in Marvel comics since the early 90's. He hasn't even been written correctly since halfway through his 90's solo.
I like him, though.
Enough that I was an idiot enough to help start a Marvel collaboration project (twice), edit for other fans, help brainstorm, and dedicate a good chunk of time to other people and keeping the whole thing going.
Then one person treated me liked a friend, asked to moderate as well because he helped, and then decided 'Hey you know what would make this better? Making this into a popularity contest and letting other people tell one of the hardest working people to fuck off and to hell with all their help.'
And so he did. My story was taken away because he was a Spider-Man fan and the Spider-Man author didn't believe in collaborating on a collaboration group. I was told to go eat a bag of dicks and that no one, NO ONE wold notice or care if my character was written completely differently than what or who he was in the comics.
He went on to bad mouth me as unappreciative and everyone who had their story edited by me believed him and still do.
If anyone knows any fans who want to read my Michael Morbius works or any REAL collaborative group, I'd be very interested and even up for some (slow) editing). But right now, I can't help but feel kinda bad that a dozen people believe I'm a total shithead for expecting at least a small amount of decency.
