User blog comment:MichaelDiaz101/My History on Bully Fanon Wiki/@comment-26358727-20151104142203

I really love the way you start this with your feelings about Bully; that real nostalgic feel of being a kid is also what drew me to the game (there are a lot of parallels to Bullworth and my middle school experiences, haha!).

Honestly, I can't believe you only introduced yourself here in 2011! The way everyone is with each other here, it's like you've all known each other since the game came out almost ten years ago, haha! It's really cool to see the history of the wiki documented like this, though. And I feel really lucky to say that I've met Link, TTG, Soda and cdc during my (still brief) time here! All very, very sweet people! ( :

Alright, Michael, when it comes to fanfiction writing I want you to remember this: it doesn't have to be complex or realistic or even any good. As long as it's something that you're having fun with, and it's evident that you're having fun with it to others, then you're going to pick up the improvement along the way anyway. You should never put yourself down for being young and stupid about writing. Everybody starts out that way - and some people stay that way - but in the end, the entire thing is about having fun with it and sharing our own unique ideas. ( :

If it's all the same to you, I'm really glad that you didn't quit at the mid-way point of 2013 because while you write so kindly about me being an inspiration to you, I really don't think I would have had the courage to post a single story if it weren't for all the old-timers who were still kicking around. Seriously, you flatter me with my role in inspiring you and I'm very glad if it was able to get your creativity flowing again, but it seems like we all really need each other in this department.

I was so new to Bully when I first joined the wiki, and I was so uncertain about sharing the characters let alone posting my incomplete drabbles of fiction that I'd told my sister I wasn't going to post anything at all. I wanted to mingle with other fans and read other peoples' work, but I just wasn't confident in my own work. Honestly, I'm still not, haha! I've been working on a little piece on and off that I hope to post for next week, but I'm still really uncertain about it - about all the writing I do, really.

This wiki marks the first time I've posted so many of my works - especially the half-complete ones - anywhere that wasn't under lock and key. It was scary, and it still can be, but you and so many of the other people here really helped me to come out of my shell and own it.

Nobody here is perfect, and we probably never will be, but it's about sharing ideas and having fun with it! And I've got to say, a day hasn't gone by that I haven't had fun when I've come by to chat with you guys! ( :
