self control i has it

The more I think about this the more I actually want to do it.

Is there any good repository of different fan sburb games I could use to get a baseline?

...please tell me you're not forcing yourself to read the furry one. I refer to it as "the furry one" and yet that was somehow the very least of its issues.

I'm not sure what that even is? I just read Graven_Image's first...thing and then the first chapter of their second try.

Then I ran back to Nestbound.

...but now I need a link because I don't learn from experience.

Forum archive -> Aerok12 -> Alandoned

You asked for it. I wash my hands of this.

ooooh right that one.

I must have blocked it from my memory. It's the one where everyone keeps turning out to be gay too, right? Or something like that.

I think so. I don't know, though, I could never bring myself to read more than a few paragraphs at a time.

I didn't, I just remember seeing an author's note at the end of a post saying something about yet another gay character and how they should stop making everyone gay and thinking that was a really weird way of putting it.

And then I combined gay with furry in my head and didn't want to read any to find out how it actually went.

Fun fact! For like two weeks I decided to be an Upstanding Member of the Community and put Zuki's "Ask me to review anything!" offer in my signature. Aerok was the only person to take me up. Aaaaaaah.

Then the server change deleted everyone's signatures and I never bothered to put it back in.

It's probably part of that thing where the less someone knows what they're doing, the more confident they are. Right when I finished NaRe someone asked me to review their story because it's their first serious attempt at fanfic, want to do a good job, etc etc. I glanced at it and they hit pretty much every grammar error I list in my reviews.

Still, you could always go for the cursory review of the first chapter and then say X just isn't your thing.

I ended up bluntly telling them that it was pretty much unreadable and I could only stomach so much of it, then skimming some later chapters and finding a few things they did right-ish to compliment them on.
