Subject: Reviews

First I'm hardly angry. I'm part of the Order of the Concritter which does
what you did except in a lighter tone.
I'm not sure if it is somewhere but as I said this is my first attempt at a
Pokemon story. I hardly know anything on how this fandom is done.
I may be able to argue some of your points though...

1.Oh, come on. Is seeing some pokemon stuff actually that stressful that you'd
act like it's some horrible nightmare?
Well you wake up in a completely different setting. That's unsettling.

2.You wouldn't capitalize animal or mouse or dragon, so you shouldn't
capitalize words like pokemon or pikachu or charizard.
Like I said, new to this fandom. I'll keep an eye out for that. I suppose I
could defend myself and say those are their names.

3."Its" is possessive, as in "its story" and "it's" means
"it is".
So wait are you saying its = it's?

4....and Team Rocket happens to show up just at that moment, and because
they've got the idiot ball, think it's a good idea to flatten a town for not
immediately obeying, thus destroying anything of value to them, and it just
happens they somehow have his pokemon and are using it.
Eh, I'll hand it to you, that is a good plot hole.

5.There are four thousand stories just on this site in this category with
"pokemon" in their title. There are three hundred "chronicles", more
if you
include misspellings, almost as many with "begins" and "beginning",
and god
knows how many "Character Name"'s whatever. There are almost five hundred with
"legend". There are over eight hundred with "journey", seven hundred
and fifty
with "story", two hundred with "quest", and nine hundred and fifty
with
"adventure". "Kanto" and "Sinnoh" shows up two hundred
times, with "Johto" and
"Hoenn" around one hundred and fifty. "Saga", "region" and
"champion" come in
at around a hundred. What I'm getting at here is that you want to choose an
original title that has to do with your story in particular, not something
that indicates it's yet another story about a pokemon trainer.
I was absolutely flat for names. If you have an idea I'm all ears.

6.Paragraphing has rules. You start a new paragraph with a new subject. The
goal is not to divide your story up into even blocks. Also, a new speaker
means you start a new paragraph.
I'll keep that in mind.

7.Do not use " for thoughts. Ever. It just looks like your character is
talking to themself.
Alright then, so then what do I use?

8.Dialogue is written as "Hello," he said or "Hello!" he said, never
"Hello."
He said or "Hello." he said or "Hello," He said or "Hello"
he said. The only
exception to this is if the next sentence doesn't contain a speech verb, in
which case it's written as "Hello." He grinned, never "Hello," he
grinned or
"Hello," He grinned. Note that something isn't a speech verb just because it's
a sound you make with your mouth, so generally stuff like laughed or giggled
is in the second category. Furthermore, if you're breaking up two complete
sentences it's "Hi," he said. "This is it." not "Hi," he
said, "this is it."
or "Hi," he said "this is it." And if you're breaking up a sentence
in the
middle, it's "Hi. This," he said, "is it." If there's no speech verb
in the
break, you use a dash, like "Hi. This - " He looked around. "- is
it."
I'm confused, could you explain the error?

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/6699016/

Hi Farla, I have been told about you from someone. Thanks for the review, I
will take it on board as constructive critisism and try to improve my grammer,
which you clearly picked out. As I stated in my profile I admit my writing
skills are not the best at the moment however theres always room for
improvement. Everyone has to start somewhere and I see the more I write, the
better I will become and the less errors I will make.

In reply to your statements about how I have chosen Cassidy to fall pregnant
may not be very acurate because I have never been in the situation myself. I
have read that antibiotics can interfere with birth control pills working
effectivly. How Cassidy finds this out she could have looked it up or someone
may have told her when it was too late. OR the way I see Cassidy she is very
stubborn and will refuse to take fault in things, when she told Butch she may
have been just taking the blame off herself and onto her doctor. Anythings
possible with Cass

About Cassidys morals that she couldnt bring herself to have a abortion, she
hates children (the twerps) however I think when it's her child, she would
think differently. Not to mention its Butch's child too. She wouldnt abort his
baby.(I couldnt have her abort anyways because I'm writing further fics that
continue from this one)

And finally, The part about her being weepy was not to make her look weak or
submissive at all. she was clearly stressed of the situation and nervous how
she was going to tell Butch. Also the hormones would have contributed to her
being emothional.

Thanks for the review Farla, hope that clears a few points up

Ok look Farla. I was curious and read some of your topics. For the
Capitalizion, say whatever you want, I'm doing whatever I want for that. Just
so you know, I did try and not capitalize the names but it didn't look right
to me.

Tell me how my character is a sue? Yes she's Ash and Misty's daughter. Yes
she's going to go on a journey for the badges just like Ash did. But she's
different from them. You would know that if you read more of the story.

It's not a parody of any kind. Yes I got the beginning idea from a moive I
watched, but you cannot say that I'm the only writer who does that. You've
probably have done that a couple times yourself and probably didn't even know
it.

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/6693916/

I'm actually not continuing the story because I don't care enough about it.
This isn't why I write though. You have every right to criticize my grammar
and I know it isn't good. However, my story isn't really something you can
slam. It's cool if you don't like it or if you have problems with the
character. That was actually the point. I wanted him to start out as an
unlikeable person but go through a character arc that changes him and humbles
him. It would make him less arrogant through his experiences. I wasn't even
going to make it involving pokemon or anything fanfiction for that matter. It
was going to be based in the real world, not even involving animals or
anything like that. But I wanted feedback on the story itself, not how much
someone hated the character. However, this is the only website I could find
where you could easily post stories so I had to make it about something that
was already a popular show or game since this website isn't for original
material. I'm sorry you didn't like it, and maybe I should I just write it the
way it should be written. Without any pop culture items, or fan fiction. I'm
not saying there's anything wrong with that, it's just not for me. Anyway,
like I said, I'm no longer going to be on this site, but I'm not deleting my
account because I don't know how nor do I care enough to find out how. Again,
sorry you weren't pleased with my writing, and thanks for the grammar tips. I
actually wasn't sure how to those dialogue cutouts but now I know. Thanks
again.

Thank you for the tip in the second paragraph, but I disagree for the first. I
just follow how it written in the game, where as the Pokemon species are
capital.

I think the best example is the Sentry Duty, where pretty much every Pokemon's
name is capitalized.
ex: "Well, it's TRUE that you don't see any Riolu (or any other Pokemon you
play as) in these parts..."

Also, I believe Bulbapedia capitalize Pokemon species, too

Oh, you're the one who reviewed my fanfic 'Luminescence' and so rudely pointed
out that the moon doesn't really disappear during the day. Well, I would just
like to tell you that I am very highly aware that the moon never disappears,
and that it is always present, just usually only visible at night.

Maybe you should feel a little bad for flaming people and giving them such
hurtful reviews. You're hurting people's feelings and making some people want
to give up writing, and that's a very terrible thing to do. Please stop being
so immature and getting so upset about your own non-existent writing skills,

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/6701508/

First of all, I'm glad you're trying to provide some tips, but your criticism
seems to be pure flat out offensive instead. Are you saying I should make
everything make sense? Your demand for logic is laughable.

And no OCs? What do you have against them? There have been plenty of stories
with them and have been successful. It's a fanfic. It's not meant to please
everyone. If you don't like a story with OCs, then why are you reading one?

One final point, I find your review to be hilarious as it's a blatant copy of
the many you've sent to the other Pokemon fics there. I'm sorry, your review
isn't constructive, it's just a big middle finger pointed right to my to my
story.

There's a line between providing constructive feedback and being a total jerk.
You may be a veteran writer with your collection of stories, but your
arrogance makes me laugh. I have never seen someone go so rough on my stories,
so unless you learn how to review properly, I'm restricting you from sending
me more trash that simply hurts the writer instead of improving their
motivation.

I don't give a damn if you believed you're the most skilled writer on the
planet, but don't shove your beliefs down other writers' throats. You wouldn't
like it if people bashed your story like some zealot with ridiculous beliefs
now, hmm? I've seen plenty of reviews regarding to your atrociousness and
attacks on others in your stories. You make a Grammar Nazi look good with your
rules.

If you don't like a story to begin with, DON'T READ IT. Consider yourself
blocked, and good day.

Hey! I don't critizize you. So I think it's rude that your doing it to me.

--------------------
I'd like to take a moment to unpack this one.

Much as I love that fandom is full of female writers, it also means it's got some of the more toxic parts you get with female groups. This is usually couched in positive language, like trying to get along and accommodate others.

What you get is people having the idea all interactions are done on personal, emotional lines. Saying something that upsets you is an attack. Either it's unprovoked, in which case the person is one of those mean popular girls, or it's because of something you did to anger them first.

Criticism, in this framework, is done solely to tear the other person down. It's not even that the person believes the criticism is invented, it's that they don't believe that matters. The only reason to point out actual errors is jockeying for social power, and if there aren't errors I'd still have said there were.

It's a horrible way of thinking.

Pokemon have names. Charizard, Clefairy, they are all names. Not just what
they are called. Are the authorized books written like that? How about the
games? No.

FYI, I was referring to 'The Darkrai'. Not one of the many Darkrai, 'The
Darkrai' in the movie.
Think of it this way: You just heard The Rise Of Darkrai is coming out, what
are your first thoughts? Is Darkrai a hero, or a villian? They made him a hero
in the movie. This is him as a villian.


I know it is short. I am working on the second chapter right now. 2nd chapter
is about 2,000 words long, maybe more. And, I'm not starting a new chapter
with each scene. This is how the story is, starting off with a quickie just to
get your mind thinking about what could be coming next.

I apologize for that, it was a typo, and I missed it.

Ok, I have over a billion complaints for you, you fucking jackass. I've seen
your reviews to other fics and they're getting downright annoying. You keep
repeating the same fucking things OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN! We don't
fucking care anymore! By repeating things, you are totally getting rid of the
purpose of a review. Any random idiot can copy and paste stuff together, but
reviews are supposed to come from the heart.

You've always been correcting us in grammar, and I respect that, BUT YOU'RE
FUCKING ANNOYING. GO DIR IN A HOLE ALREADY YOU BASTARD! We are not
preschoolers that don't know the difference between there and their. WE KNOW
THINGS, IDIOT. You don't need to shove into our faces that you have better
grammar. This just shows the kind of conceited bastard you are.

Anyway, after telling you all about your reviewing faults, it's about time I
tell you this story's faults.

1. It lacks emotion. So what if you have the best grammar in the world! All of
that crap doesn't matter if you cant connect with your audience. Stories
aren't meant to show people how good you are at writing, it's used to convey
the feelings of the characters. EVERYTHING LACKED EMOTION. Emotion is the most
basic and important thing you need in a fic.

2. You're always complaining that we are so unoriginal. Well wake up dude!
Your first scene is a guy waking up. HOW FUCKING CLICHE IS THAT? If you're
complaining to us about unoriginality, go fix your problems first.

3. Your writing is TOO poetic. You lost my interest within the first sentence.
It took too long for a single thing to happen and your story really didnt get
anywhere.

SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR WRITING, FIX YOUR FUCKING WORK TOO!
GO DIE IN A HOLE YOU DOUCHEBAG! And if you're offended by this review, GOOD!
This is exactly how everyone else feels! You fucking bastard.
