Yes, my grammar is horrible, but no, I don't particularly care. Although your
point on capitalization is not much of a point since the games say DITTO.
Also, I always assumed that unless you /nicknamed/ a Pokemon, their species
name was their name.

Okay, most of your reveiw totally confused me. Just tell me where I messed up
and I'll fix it, don't write an essay with hello written a million times.
*sweatdrop*


As for the capitalization of pokemon and their names, I prefer to think of
them as proper nouns. That's my oppinion, I'm not the only one who does it ya
know. I'm a pro in English, sometimes when I'm rushing, I'll miss a few things
in my haste to post a story, so sorry about any grammatical errors. Still
hoped you like the story!

Subject: re: Your review to The Experiment

I learned otherwise.
Also, my Mom was the editor in chief of a newspaper, and so she always edits
my work.
I really don't care what you think, because I am NOT changing it.
And another thing: chapters can be any size. Ever read "Holes" by Lois Sacher?
He had a chapter which was only one or two sentences long!

--------------------
I guess this explains why I find grammar errors in newspapers.

Subject: re: Your review to Blind Dates

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/6625134/

I am sorry for taking so long to respond!

You are right that the way I used "pimp" is not the technical definition of
the word -- however, this is why I used the word "pseudo" before it, implying
that Nanami acts as someone who "deals" her brother out to her friends for
dates; no, she does not collect money off of it like a real pimp would and no,
Green is not having sex with the girls like a prostitute would, but I think
that the word "pseudo" gets that point across.

I understand your feelings on the word "said" (though I have to say I am
confused as to what "Said is invisible" means). I tried to use the word
"said" when I wasn't having Green mumble or huff around angrily (because in
those cases, it does not make much sense to say "he said" when he really is
grumbling... it just does not give off the same image), and not to sound
defensive or anything, but I don't think I did a terrible job at that. After
reading through the story again I can agree with you on a few instances where
I used a word other than "said" when "said" could've been used, but
overall I
think I used "said" a fair number of times. In my opinion it gets pretty
boring to read "he said" over and over again, so I think it's probably just a
stylistic choice for me to use words like "he added" or "she told
him" or
whatever (if that's even what you are referring to).

Anyway -- thank you for taking the time out to read and review this story even
though you didn't really like it. I appreciate your feedback!

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/6660061/

I don't know why you're criticizing my work, but you were supposed to find out
why she was built in the following chapters. She'll never grow up, so I made
her about twenty, a nice age where she'll look mature, yet young. Anyway,
she's new and so she's not sure about herself and there's a reason for
everything in this story. Maybe you'll find out why she seems "stupid".
Oh, and by the way, do you have any idea who made her? See if you could give
me any ideas to see if you're so good at this story.

Subject: Thanks for the insight

I'd like to thank you on the insight you gave me on my stories. It really
helps to get tips on how to get better when writing a fanfic. My grammar has
never been the best, and I have a hard time with how to go about writing
dialogue or when to make a new paragraph.
Thanks again for the help, and I hope that people won't get offended by your
insight.

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/6655835/

You know, I'm not forcing you to read it. And also, you should realize that
I'm the one writing the story, not you. AND if I want to put descriptions, I
will and there's nothing you can do about it. The reason why I'm doing this is
to really bring the reader into the story from the character's perspective.
Also, I've never written a story before, much less in english, so don't come
and try telling me what to do. I asked for INSTRUCTIVE comments, not this
bullshit you just served me. As for the tornado, that's my decision to make,
not yours, got it? I know you're trying to 'help' me, but it's not really
working.

Yeah, I know I certainly spend a lot of time contemplating my own physical appearance! If I were a character in a story and you wanted to really draw someone into my POV, you should definitely painstakingly describe how I look!
