The Vinculum

Kasuto is now 30 years old. In recognition of this fact, I encourage all of you to give me $30. Anyone? Well, it was worth a shot. At least now I can resonably complain about "kids these days."

Who in their right mind would hire you for that? Look, you work on your skill, and you might recieve reviews that are good because the story's good, not because you whine if they're bad.

Wow, I think I'll be back for one post and one only (unless something similar comes up).

It won't be often that I will decide to come out of obscurity... I lurked and lurked for links and fanfics to read, but I ran across this. Here's my thoughts.


Dark Kirby: Your fic was rather odd. It had random insanity, which is a plus, and a few jokes here and there. It, however, needs a proofreader. In addition, (it'a pet peeve though) I really do not like reading scriptfics (I only write one scriptfic, and that's a parody on the Weakest Link... simply because making it in prose kinda destroys the mood), so forgive that. However, I do think, with some work, it can be MUCH better in prose.

Comparing this to my first few fics, I can say that you didn't have too rocky of a start. Don't be offended by what they say. They are only here to help you. I am sure that if you take the time to work on your stories, and make them longer and put in detail and stuff, you'd be getting much better reviews! ^_^

So, just hang in there. Don't be offended too much. They might be harsh, but they're not lying to you. We wouldn't flame you if we didn't care. I guess you could call it tough love.

Everyone Else: Um... Hi and bye! ^_^... the pink rhinoes continue to graze in the pasture.

Well, I guess that's all. *signs off and continues to lurk FF section for fics to read and GGD for gaming news*

well, it wasn't that bad of a fic. It could DEFINITELY use some improvement.

if you want to, I could help you improve it (as well as give you some tips on how to improve).

The best way to go is to get a beta reader, Leia's offer is kind of like one.

How much does anyone want to bet that she'll be pissed even when we're being helpful? :roll:

There's an "edit post" button. Use it.

Now...

Advice is still advice, and... well... his advice applies. I'm not going to sugar coat it. The story itself was pretty lame, and this board is one where honesty counts far more than sucking up. But keep working on it. You'll get better.

Wow, for once, I'd have to say Hunter has a point. Usually he's just a little flamer, but daaaaaamn.... I mean...

Did anyone really enjoy this? It was waaay too fast to be enjoyable. When I read an "amuzing" fanfiction, I enjoy reading it with a little thing I like to call quotation marks and paragraphs. Personally, I really dislike script, so that's a big negative right there. Second of all, what are they, high? They're about to bounce off of the walls. And I couldn't really even imagine it. Think of how they talk; they wouldn't say half of those things nor act that way.

Whether you are an author or not, and whether this is your fanfic or not, you still have to take into consideration that this is a fanfic, implying that it is not a story you created, but rather an idea borrowed off of someone else. And I know for a fact that these characters would not act like this. I'm up for out of character things some times, but this was just way out of proportion.

And third off, what you said really irritated the crap out of me, Dark Kirby, Rumor, and Diva....chick. You need to realize people aren't here to kiss your ass. When you learn how to write decently, we will be willing to give you encouragement..but at this level, even I could write better, and I am attrocious at writting. Here's some things to help keep in mind:
•Grammar
•Spelling
•Detail
•Paragraphs
•Character personalities and traits
•Theme
•Scenary/Time period
•Category of story - Humor? Action? Romance? PG? R? NC-17?

Keep these in mind and you should be able to write much better next time. And also remember, if you ever take this message board as hateful, we will laugh you off. This is sickning to read - I can't believe we're even trying to TALK to a stinkin twelve year old mentality! We're so nice, we're willing to sugarcoat it and try to apologize to please you. Better be goddamn thankful - no other board would EVER do that.

"Welcome to the Internet, where people can be total dicks and not get their asses kicked."

Though Hunter is being a dick, he is for the most part right.
