You know, I almost agree with you. My writing my be absolutely awful, but I
also use pretty good grammar. However, I must bring up my main point: when
browsing some regular Pokemon (I'm using it as a name of a franchise here)
sites, I found that they capitalized the names of the pokemon (although you
see there that I'm learning! :D ), so I'm going to stop capitalizing the word
"pokemon", but I'm not going to stop capitalizing the names of the pokemon
themselves.
Thank you for your insightful review. My story probably does suck, but it is
my first. I also know that it takes a lot of time to write those reviews, so
I'm very greatful that you'd waste yours on a novice like me.
Hopefully, my next chapters will be better...Thanks again.

He-he. Thanks, I guess? I wrote this story awhile ago, when I was just
beginning as a writer. I believe I've improved, though, so check my more
recent stories in the Books-Warriors section.

You've managed to cause another one of my friends pain and I'm very pissed off about it. I was trying to get my 13 year old friend into fan fiction and it had almost worked. Until you decided to post one of those compilations of hate as the FIRST review of the FIRST chapter of the FIRST story he's ever written in his life! Now he's deleted his story and is looking for a way to delete his entire account all because YOU couldn't leave a novice alone. If you want to review experienced writers be my guest, but picking on someone who's just set up an account? That's bordering on predatory. You listen to me and you pay attention. Don't you ever review a novice again. If it's their first story, leave them alone. I don't care how bad their grammar is, wait until they get some experience before you ruin their day. The fact is that no novice is going to fit you're absurd expectations and there is no logical reason to rip their hearts out with their first review. How do you expect them to get better if you scare them off?
 
Now I have to do damage control, because you don't have the sense to control your nasty, elitist attitude.
 
Sincerely,

There is reason behind what seems to be craziness, and I guess I just didn't
show it enough. Blackthorn made their Gym Leader the President because that's
what everyone else was doing, they knew they needed a leader to get them
through the shitstorm, and Clair seemed to be the best candidate.

She is *completely* willing to give up the Presidency, but she knows that none
of the other dipsticks would be able to manage the job (except Pryce, who
refuses to take it). The games make it quite clear that Clair has high
standards, and she will absolutely refuse to admit that someone else is better
than her unless they prove it beyond doubt, which is what we have here. She
could quite easily hand over power to, say, Gideon, but she won't admit that
he would do a better job than she would (Would he? idk).

If it makes you happy, I'll tell you a secret (spoiler!) from Chapter 3. She
basically resigns from the Presidency and runs off, leaving Pryce in charge.

Thanks for reviewing, though. The whole 'politics' thing is something I have
little knowledge about, and probably shouldn't have written a fic on. The
focus shifts from there before too long, though.

Wow, I haven't seen constructive critisizm in a while. It actually makes me
happy XD

I'll definitely try to keep that stuff in mind. As for the capitalising, I'll
admit that I thought of them as actual names rather than just regular names.
You wouldn't write "maria and james" instead of "Maria and James"
either.
Maybe it's just something that depends on the point of view. Or maybe I'm just
ignorant, which happens a lot. Oh well XD

Thank you very much for the review =3

Well, it's the same guy who sent me the earlier PM, so I'm inclined to believe he's sincere, at least in a general sense. (Though it's depressingly possible he's made up the specifics in the hopes that the tale will sway me.)

What I find more amusing is that he's establishing that I killed the writing dreams of someone who didn't want to write. I mean, if I talk my friend into doing something they're not interested in, and then someone discourages them, it might annoy me because now I've wasted all that time, but it's not like my friend's life's ambition was thwarted by it.
