NaRe 2018 Romance Pokeauthors, Week 4
“The person I wrote this story with wanted us to use master when referring to the male character and I had no objections. It has jack-shit to do with power-play or the like and the word was simply used as a means of not having a name for him.

My writing: She swung her axe with a mighty roar, colliding with her enemy and bashing into their armor.
Their example: She swings her axe roaring loudly, hitting her enemy as it broke their armor.”

“On a side note, the first paragraph of your review does seem to be rather familiar, though I must certainly be mistaken on such observations since you are *clearly* a person of such detail and would never think to lead anyone to believe that any form of plagiarism is to be seen within your reviews.”

“So just because most things arent capitalized means it cant be read? Thats really stupid. Its basically saying how you cant read texting bc nothing is capitalized or something. But fine ill just capitalize all of that if people cant read one name or something not capitalize!!!”
The Other Pokeauthors, Part 95
“As I am not a professional I will ask you to keep in mind that I am learning by doing this. So although your feedback made some points which I could learn about.. the way in which you said it wasn’t nice or encouraging.“
