Today’s author is of Smogon U, a SYOC story where pokemon go to college. Pokemon are all segregated into dorms by type, and I was rewarded with some amazing stuff when I pointed out how silly that was.

“If I’m writing about pokemon, then that’s a pokemon fanfic, no matter how much I alter some of their attributes.”

“Your review was way too long, especially for something just criticizing the most basic part of the story, the writing format. I mean no offense when I say this, but when people call someone a Grammar Nazi, they are talking about people who do stuff like that. Once again, no offense intended.”

“Thank you for the help. I really do appreciate it but, this is fanfiction. A place where I can write about anything.”

“Still don’t care. Bug odd.”

You remember that weird “human AU” fic about the guy who was just like a gardevoir because he was bullied for wearing dresses? The author flipped out at me for calling it original fiction, but shockingly, we actually made it to a peaceful resolution.

“Game Freak is doing their best to translate [the games] to a language we can understand.” AHAHAHAHAHA

Another interactive fic author throws a hissy fit when I tell them to play by the rules.

In which a righteous hero arises to strike down the horrible trolls but backs out when I actually put him up to it.

“It’s my story, jackass. I’m not required to put in line breaks. Go fuck yourself.”

(more…)

In which I unreasonably jump the gun on an ESL author who did in fact use a native beta reader. Make sure to use this against me, hate-followers!

“Capitalization occurs when referring to a specific name, title, location, or set/subset of people. For instance, we refer to them as Muslims, or Christians, or Jews, because once the subset class is stripped, they have no real meaning, as they refer only to a specific group. In Pokémon, this means that referring to the species Pikachu would require capitalization because it refers to a specific group of nouns with a similar trait (like that of being a Pikachu). Now let’s look at the individual Pikachu, which has to be capitalized because it refers to only one specific set of creatures with similar body traits.

This is why we capitalize Muslims because the word refers to the group of people that adhere to the religion of Islam, and has no other meaning unless you force a stereotype. In that sense, all Pokémon names MUST be capitalized.

In addition, Pokémon itself is a title and shortened form of Pocket Monsters, a title that refers to the general subset of all creatures, each of which share a common trait.

Finally, take your British English rules and shove them up your fat ass. If you were smart enough to pay attention in school (which you obviously didn’t and is why I wasted half-an-hour on you hopeless piece of shit) dialogue can be formatted ‘”Speech.” Person word’, simply because most word processors automatically correct to that and will count ‘”Speech.” person word’ as being incorrect occasionally.”

“Don’t go telling people they’re doing things wrong even if they are. That’s just their way of doing it.”
