So...

Chapter Two of Unoriginality: AAMLudicrousness is up.

Let's see how many people figure out the last line, shall we?

Does Sue refer marysues? Because that's what I'm thinking. Always good to have happily ever afters. I definitely want all my children to be exactly like me... yep... sure...

I think it will be hard for the kiddies to grasp that - seeing as he's been away for a year - Ash cannot be the father of that Sue.
Loved the chapter, very good. Poor May always gets bashed...

Ah, well, liking genetics, I usually figure that even if Ash was around at the time, he can't possibly be the father of the blue-haired, silver-eyed, sexually-mature-at-age-nine monstrosities Misty's been producing.

Advice/Review needed:

I have an old story I wrote a while ago. I'm wondering whether it's a lost cause that I should simply throw out, or whether it's remotely fixable. (I promise that I'll either *actually* follow your suggestions or simply delete the story if I can't find a way to make it better.)

Be warned. We have an angsty Team Rocket Main Sue Character with a very stereotypical Pokemon.


I am not fragile. Go ahead and be merciless as usual. (Not that you needed prompting anyway.)

Awesome. XD Thanks for reviewing--you pointed out a lot of stuff that would have never crossed my mind before.

Not quite sure whether it's worth fixing or not, but I'll give it a try (if only for practice.) I'll first have to get rid of the damn Eevee (Venomnat maybe?), chuck the part about it not staying in its ball, fix the "Bit," have her take off her gloves (which makes a lot of sense, now that I think about it), kill off...i mean delete the nine year old who is useless to the plot anyway, get rid of the being-late part, and hmm...

About the not-treating-grunt-pokemon part, would it be too forced/trite/ridiculous if I implied that because Team Rocket was such a large underground corporation that its smaller subunits might not pay too much attention to their lower members? I think that's pretty much what I had in mind back when I wrote it, but now I'm unsure as to whether that makes sense or not.

Anyway, thanks. XD Just letting you know *someone* appreciates the work you put into reviews. :D

Venonat seems fine.

Treating pokemon...that really depends on your idea of Team Rocket. Mob-style governing involves treating the grunts well to gain loyalty, for example. My concept of it is more bureaucratic, like a corrupt government. There's also the possibility of it being a harsh but not sadistic organization. With the first, the lowest level ones wouldn't get much, but they'd be well treated. With the second, the people in charge of treating the pokemon might be pocketing the money instead, or only working for those who can make it worth their time. With the third, they might not be willing to do much - if a pokemon is weak enough to die from the training, it obviously wasn't worth keeping around, say. A sink or swim kind of system. They certainly wouldn't be interested in the pokemon's personal comfort and might only patch it up as much as was needed, so she'd still need to get potions on her own to complete the job.

Or, Team Rocket might kill weak pokemon, so she's too afraid to take it to be treated/has already taken it in too often. Or she's gone over her healing allowance for the week/month. Or the guy in charge hates her. Or her pokemon is one she took against the rules and she doesn't want to attract attention to it. There are a lot of possibilities. Try to figure out which make the best sense to you.

*snickers* Sulfurous smoke eh? That borders on copying Nightcrawler's brimstone smell when he teleports. That was highly amusing, Sue is obviously not Ash's unless of course we're talking invitro.

I was thinking more along the lines of the traditional 'demons and hell' connotation, but unnecessary allusions to other fandoms is actually a much more Unoriginality-worthy concept. Must work that in firmly in another chapter, yes...
