User blog:That Engineer/Serious Message To Nolan

I've held my tongue for a long time on this subject, but my frustration has outweighed my will to keep quiet. I don't care if this comes out as offensive because I'm not the only person who thinks this way, and I'm not afraid to voice my opinion.

...Nolan...you've written alot of Loud House fics here, numbering around 40 or so from what I last counted. While impressive, here's the issue....most of them are OC-insert stories. While this may not be a bad thing, in this case, it seriously is....

After reading a few of them, I've found that for the most part, they are not re-writes but just you adding yourself to the episode plot and not offering anything different. It's essentially voicing your own opinion on certain things, which to be honest most can do without. and the fact you've done this for nearly EVERY EPISODE that's aired so far has gotten extremely annoying. You've even done one for Old and the Restless, and that episode only focused on Lincoln and Albert. Not only that, you've done it for the comics as well, and I still remember that time the blog was temporarily spammed with your versions of the comic 'Lost Control', and that grinded my gears to the point I needed to get some premium oil to unclog them.

If you're going to do an OC-insert story, at least have your character actually ADD something more to the plot, otherwise it's just an added character that just exists to live in the shadow of another. In this case, your character is much like Clyde but with less annoying traits (debately more annoying since he seems to spend every waking moment with the Louds when he doesn't even need to be there). Even if some of your fics have an aftermath of the episode, the majority of the story is still quite literally copied from the episode's transcript. This in turn makes it very unoriginal and ruins the creativity you could've had.

Before I started writing stuff for the Loud House, I had done two Sonic stories (both of which are somewhat abandoned due to lack of views since Sonic is quite diverse). Those two works were also OC-insert stories, but instead of using myself, I made up a character that derived from the TF2 universe and made him have a certain dynamic so he'd add something to the Archie Universe. Both acquired a decent amount of views for a first time writer, but I had to make sure my character didn't become stale.

What you can do, is try to write something more original from your own idea.You've got a few of them written down but they're overshadowed by your OC stories. At this point, any time I see one of your 'my version' stories pop up on the blog, I can't help but cringe because I know what it will entail...you really need to do something more original than this, because I'm being brutally honest here...it's no surprise you constantly pop up on the 'Worst Wiki Users' journals in Deviant Art, because in terms of how your fics go, you could erase Nolan from the equation and we'd have the same episode we just saw on TV...

Call me out for being rude, offensive, or what have you. I'm just stating what's been on my mind for months, and Thomperfan can seriously afford to do something other than a simple rehash of episodes...
