A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/6636069/

Thanks a lot for the advice!! I've neer been the best at splitting paragraphs,
and I have to admit here that my attempt was rushed. Maybe I won't separate in
the future. Any ideas on how to balance out my plot?

Well, I'm soo sorry if the grammar is bad.But,don't give me attitude. You can
say it more politly.It's not that I'm the type of person to take critisizing
very seriosly but you are going way overboard. If you think I need a beta
reader why don't you be my beta reader? Hmph.

Second thing is that you are free to critisize on the grammar in my reply to
your review. Oh, and sorry about the reply earlier. Guess I didn't take it
well as I thought I would, Hehehe. But, If you don't mind I have a friend that
can check your writing and review and she an assistant to a real editor so...
Oh, last thing, will you be my beta reader? You are free to critisize my
second reply as well, just not that harsh. Thanks. :)

Title: An Unlikely Heroine

Hello,

Thank you for your considerate review.

Unfortunately, due to the way handles document conversion, footnotes are
stalled until the very end of the document instead of getting appended on the
page to which they belong.

As for plot, I don't think I said that it didn't matter. I said that an
original plot wasn't--and isn't--the goal. Characterization and adaptation is
my focus here.

At any rate, I'm sorry that you're disinclined to continue reading. It's a
shame, but it can't really be helped. Should you change your mind, it'll still
be here.

Have a pleasant evening and do take care.

Hi, first I just want to say thanks for your reviews. When I looked back at my
story after you telling me those things, I realised you were absolutely right.
So I've gone back and I've rewritten the parts that weren't too good.
I was just wondering, if you have the time, if you could re-read my story and
tell me if I've made it any better, or worse, or if I should change anything
else. I'll understand if you don't want to, but your review was really helpful
and it would be great to hear what else you have to say. I want to be the best
writer I can be, so your help would be fantastic.

Thanks,

Taz1995

Title: Chasing the Dream
Chapter: 1

--------------------

All right. First thing's first.

...If you didn't like the idea of Ash and Misty having kids, then why did you
pick a story like that...?

Also, don't nitpick at little details. If you're going to give me constructive
critiscm, fine, but to just nit pick at little things that no one else seems
to notice seems to be just a little weird.

Yes, I am aware of my tenses being off, I'm trying to fix it.

As for the timeline, well, if you had read the original stories (a trilogy)
then you would know that she concieved Jake and Alex when she was sixteen, the
summer after she had turned that age, and now ten years later, they would be
ten. Seeing as Misty and the twins share the same birthday, Alex and Jake
would turn ten the same day Misty turned twenty-six.

Finally, if you're going to flame, at least get to the point. If this was
supposed to be constructive critiscm, I don't see anything constructive in
here, other then tiny details.

Please don't waste my time with this again,

...I've been rereading that bit about age and it still looks insane to me. Anyone fluent in batshit want to explain what they said?

Oh, it's beautiful. I had to read it a few times, but eventually I realized that a.) they were not answering your question at all, but some other question they thought you were asking and b.) they just made everything worse by bringing Misty's age into it when that was completely irrelevant to your complaint. If she was sixteen when she conceived them, and they were born on her birthday, that means they were born on her seventeenth birthday. Which means that when they turned ten, she would be turning twenty-seven. And both of those things still don't happen until closer to eleven years after their conception, so, yes, she's completely out of her mind.

I'm actually pretty glad that more and more people are actually agreeing to take your advice. It has renewed an ever-so-tiny light of hope in my heart for FFnet. You're making progress!

...in theory. I guess part of the problem is that a lot of people don't keep writing, so even the people who do take my advice may not be around long for other newbies to pick up proper grammar from.
