Description
asked about general inspiration for my series, and since CHORALE got covered in the beginning I skipped that one. Average will still be rebooted at some point when I have a better grasp of the story, Skydome is still technically on hiatus but it's gonna be a looooong time before I return to it if ever, Scifi... Something is SUPER cancelled, tho.

For those of you who don't remember or weren't around for the disaster that was Project Anime, a former member of the clubhouse put out that they wanted to make a simple anime using Po to do it. However... This was a bad idea from its inception. For starters, we were only allowed to use the characters they created, one of which was a very offensive stereotype of a person with mental illness. Another problem was that everyone had to submit a plot to be voted on to be animated... Except the person who created this project decided that we would all make their pitch first as the 'test'. It was about here things started smelling fishy, because this person had a habit of making other community members do their projects and then would take all of the credit.
I volunteered to be the 'writer' for the project once we'd voted on plots to use, but it became very apparent that not only was this group largely too immature to really work on a serious animation project, they were almost entirely directionless. Most of the days in the chat were spent goofing off and memeing at each other (Ketboard Vs. Mycaruba). Of course, our leader would occasionally swoop in to soapbox about how superior of a person they were because they were an atheist, and anyone who has any religion is automatically stupid.
When I finally pressed to get some assistance in writing, I was met with nothing but dismissal from our leader, and I quickly realized that any work I put in would be just to boost this person's ego. I quit. Project anime dissolved, and nothing ever came of it.

I still liked parts of my pitch, so I took it and decided to use it as my own personal catharsis. My rage at the world, now processed into a story I could tell. I've changed a few key elements, making my own characters and modifying parts of the story that wouldn't really work anymore. But the core is still there.
