We all know what I think about Zzo. Let's hear what I think about auryanne. Unless I'm severely mistaken, she's dracosolaris.
In all honesty, I think she's a driving force behind forumwide staffhatings. Shroomy, I like. Marissa, when she shows up, I can accept because she only bitches with cause. Draco can rot in hell when she's being a bitch. Seriously, she CAN be nice, I've seen it, so why she's being a snot now, I don't get.
I can understand if you don't like to see your artwork criticised, but when people are doing so respectfully (as with the royalpets pb), you need to accept it like an adult and move on. Unless you're not an adult, in which case, if you can't pretend to be one, you need to get off the keyboard and move on.
You certainly do NOT have the right to say "they hate everything neopets" when 1. if that were true, we'd have a better way to waste our time than posting on Neocolours and 2. if you'd bothered to read anything but what suits your narrow worldview, you'd know there's many things about neopets people at NC actually, even nearly unanimously, like, and that the things we don't like are disliked for very good reasons.
Continuing that, it's stupid to say that we should put our art up for criticism when, in fact, the people at NC already do that. Even if we didn't, that is beside the point. I don't have to be able to draw to dislike something that you have made. If that were the case, I couldn't criticize a type of computer unless I had already made a better one, nor the president until I had been elected.
The difference, of course, between your art and her art is that you aren't getting paid, and really don't have to accept criticism if you don't like. She IS getting paid, and should be willing to learn what people do and don't like. And if she isn't, she'd best stop reading those boards before she gives herself an aneurysm.

no subject
Date: 2004-02-10 03:28 pm (UTC)Valid critiques are perfectly fine. Everyone who's gone to art school, she and Marissa both, have been subject to them, and far worse than anyone on Neocolours can come up with. It's just that, well, no one on Neocolours really knows or understands what goes on in the office.

Date: 2004-02-10 04:44 pm (UTC)It's true, we don't understand what goes on in the office. But no one has ever told us. I'm sure most of the other people at NC are as curious about it as I am -- we'd all be happy to hear an explanation if you feel like posting one. As it is, we can only say what we think and make guesses. Until someone takes steps to enlighten us, that's not going to change.
