Kirby Kirby Kirby, that's the name you should know!

Anyone except for Akane, Byakuya, or Hifumi can answer this!

Um, so, hi there. It's the Zine Anon. You guys may not even remember me since my last ask, but that's okay. Anyway, I'm back again, but it's not so much for anything positive or minor...

You see, my self-loathing about my writing/(lack of) writing skills has been slowly but surely worsening lately. You see, yeah, I got accepted into some zines, but truth be told, they haven't turned out as planned, and that isn't much of a good thing. The first one I got accepted into had to get postponed due to the mods having an immense lack of experience, as well as a few other issues. It was already for free as is (so money was thankfully never an issue), and it eventually got released, but still. The second one that I got accepted in (that's still in progress) suddenly had one of the main mods drop out, and I think another main mod has been radio silent. There's been other issues as well, with some being about the merch and others being about other things. And finally, the third one I got accepted into is still running a interest check, and I'm afraid it'll essentially get cancelled altogether, since it doesn't seem to be moving forward.

Now, this wouldn't be too much of an issue, but also recently, I've had some jealousy/envy towards a talented friend of mine. She's an admired, talented artist and writer who does commissions and just general drawings (amazing ones at that). She has two fanfic series on her AO3 that, initially, started off as a joke sort of "haha-got-bored-so-here-take-this" series. Well, not only have both of her fanfic series boomed in popularity, but she's received fanart based off of her fanfics. And that's what stings the fucking most, because ever since I started writing, a huge dream of mine has been to have someone draw something based off of something I wrote... and that has yet to happen. And honestly, I doubt it ever will happen.

Yeah, the obvious bit of advice to that would be to do my best and write more; maybe even try to spread the word, too. But I've been doing that for years. All she did was post one chapter for each series (not on the same day, but pretty close, I think), and everyone fucking loved it. Everyone still fucking loves it! My fanfics, well... they don't even get a 1/12 of the attention that her fanfics normally get. I'm genuinely very happy and proud of her, but I'll be blunt when I say that I'm jealous, espicially with her getting more fanart as time goes on. And that jealously has been numbing out that happiness for her lately...

I just feel talentless; worthless; pathetic; unskilled. I feel like my writing will never be good enough... and honestly, it never will be. I just needed to get this off my chest. I honestly don't really know what I want, but a hug would be nice... thanks for reading all of this BS...

I'm sorry to h-hear all of that, however you are r-right about doing your best and w-writing more, but also take your t-time on your stories to p-perfect them to the best of your abilities, I would say more o-on that topic but I'm only the U-Ultimate Pharmacist.

While it's hard to do so, t-try and ignore the attention your friend is getting unless s-she directly talks to you about it. I can tell you're e-equally as talented as her so don't l-let the attention she receive a-affect you too much, it's bad for your health. Then with the zines, h-have hope with the two that are s-still running because eventually th-things will work out in that area of y-your life, and here's a h-hug to try and. ake you feel better.
