Sword Dancers isn't canon Lantz. At all. In the slightest. And you're still wrong and violating canon in god knows how many fucking ways with your interpretation of CG's. BECAUSE ARCHERKO DOES NOT EXIST IN CANON. SHE'S A FUCKING DOUJIN CHARACTER.
Sword Dancers isn't canon for the Nasuverse, but it is also unlikely that it explicitly
violates canon. And, if he is violating canon, please explain
how he is doing so, because I'm not seeing it.
Also, Lantz did say that he didn't want to continue this further, and I see his point, so it might be a good idea if we drop it....
As for the saving people argument, here's a hypothetical scenario - There's a train about to hit five people on the tracks. You're standing next to someone you don't know. You don't know the people on the tracks. If you shove the person standing next to you onto the tracks, he will die but the train will not hit those five people. Shoving this guy on the track will save innocent people. So by your logic mike, shoving this dude on the tracks in cold blood to save those five people isn't a villainous action, despite it obviously being murder.
Erm, what?
That's nothing like what I'm arguing. In fact, what
you are arguing is that, if someone is about to shove said person onto the tracks, it would be a villianous act to prevent them doing so. I don't see how preventing a villainous act can possibly be a villainous act....
Don't like it Arch then don't read it. The fic involves multiverse travel and Archerko is a character in the story. Swords dancers is acceptable fanon until the word of god says otherwise.
...Lantz. Jesus christ. That statement contains EVERYTHING WRONG WITH YOU AS AN AUTHOR. Don't like don't read kills criticism, kills discussion, creates hugboxes of like minded sycophants that will praise anything you put out without questioning the quality contained within.
It's also entirely sensible advice. There are always going to be fics that people don't like, and it is ludicrous to complain about aspects of them that are explicit author decisions rather than mistakes (especially when it involves deciding to add aspects of doujins and the like into your fic). Unless the author is being a complete dick (e.g. bashing), anyway, and even then there is no point in going on and on at them every chance you get.
And, yes, I am well aware I am not great at taking this advice either....
To elaborate on Mike's post of "Well, they didn't go after Sakura in HF" well, here's why: She hadn't done shit yet to interfere with Alaya or destroy the world. Sure she was GOING to, but not yet. Satoshi on the other hand deliberately interferes with CG's. That's an action, and a threat to the world's safety. So Alaya simply won't stop until he's wiped out.
I think you're assigning far much intelligence and foresight to Alaya there. It might try to kill Satoshi, but once he stops being an immediate danger I doubt it will put any extra effort into doing so.
