Calm responses this week. For the moment at least, people have stopped freaking out over grammar corrections.

I understand what you’re saying and will take what you said into account. However, if you actually want people to take what you say seriously, you should review the content first rather than focusing solely on the grammar. I’ve seen you around quite a bit, and the way your ‘reviews’ come off as being (to put it in a nice way) ‘needlessly picky’ make it easier for others to ignore you.

I believe you have sent this same message to me multiple times and I get it. My grammar isn’t good my dialogue is used incorrectly and I don’t know how to use commas but at least I am trying.
You’re not trying very hard. I should not have to tell you that sentences need to end in punctuation. If my reviews are too unclear, this thread covers things in a lot more detail: https://www.fanfiction.net/topic/11834/21887406/1/Writing-Guide-Part-One-Grammar
You could also read an actual, published book from the library and look at how things are formatted there. Use that as your baseline for formatting, not other fic or video games.
Do you mean a book from a library like on in the UK or one on this site and for your information I have read a book I have read multiple books but just by reading something does not mean you learn it.[Do you mean a book from a library like on in the UK or one on this site]
I already told you. Read what I said again. This is exactly what I’m talking about. You need to pay attention to what you’re reading. I understand you’re not going to absorb everything you need from a single reading, which is why I’m telling you to go back to those books and look closely at them. Look at how they’re formatted and written. The best way to learn how to write is to study other writing.
Listen, I don’t want to make enemies here it was just some dialougue and punctuation mistakes and I feel you’ve taken it further than it needs to go. Do you tell every writer who makes these mistakes the same thing you told me?(again and again)Yes, I give the grammatical reviews to everyone who makes the error. If they ask for further clarification, I direct them to the grammar thread, as I’ve done for you.
I believe I’ve taken this exactly as far as it needs to go. I’ve directed you to the resources you need to improve, if you want to. There are other grammatical resources on the internet you can find by Google, as well.

Noted. Thanks for the review.

Thank you for the constructive criticism. It saddens me to admit it, but the real tragedy is how this constitutes a marked improvement from my previous writing style. I agree entirely with your annoyance regarding using Arceus in place of God; I saw it in a few other fanfictions, so I assumed it just came with the territory and just went with it. I’ll try to revise the chapter when I get the chance, though I must admit, your points regarding proper dialogue formatting are going to be the death me. That’s certainly a lot to remember! In the meantime, was there anything else you took issue with that needs changing? What did you like about my story? I want to improve my writing and I want you to tell me what worked and what didn’t.
Thank you again for your help.
If you found the dialogue paragraph dense, this thread has a better explanation: https://www.fanfiction.net/topic/11834/21887406/1/Writing-Guide-Part-One-Grammar

Thanks for telling me this.
I have decided that each week I will hold a poll on my account and do the winning ship.
Again thanks for letting me know.

Thank you you for your advice, I’m really grateful for it. I’m definitely gonna change some of the mistakes I made. Sorry but I forgot to tell everybody English isn’t my real language, By the way what do you think of the story itself?
Loganator356[Then it doesn’t stand on its own and should be added as a side chapter in your main story. Also, stop capitalizing random words.
Non-story chapters are banned on this site. Elaborate character bios aren’t necessary and don’t actually tell us that much in the first place. Just get to the story.]
I’m just using the bio so its easier get an understanding of my characters. And when I said this isn’t canon, I just meant that this is a completely different story. This is a different universe and it has its own story. And sorry about random caps. Force of habit sometimes. Especially when I’m not using my phone to type. I prefer typing using my computer. Please don’t ban this chapter. It is very important to this story and I worked really hard on it trying to find the right move sets, different personalities (mostly), and strengths/weaknesses. I actually went on Bulbapedia to look up what moves each of these Pokemon can use and chose what moves I thought were best for them.
Character bios themselves aren’t banned. You can include them as long as they’re part of a story chapter, such as in an author’s note below the story text. But I still recommend moving them to your profile or a forum post. They’re not good as the first thing a reader sees; we need investment in the characters and story themselves before we’ll be interested in minute details.Alright. Sorry. I’m new to this whole http://www.fanfiction.net thing so I don’t know much about rules and stuff. I’m just looking for a place for my imagination to run free.

Ok. It’s kinda true and mean to me at the same time, but I don’t let it ruin my story. Thank you for the review
Hm? What is “it”?
The bad things you said about it. They’re probably true…thats ok with me. I’m still keeping my FanFiction like that and I don’t want to change it. I like using Pokemon in it. I also like Capitalizing some words. Thank you for the review though. If you’re going to continue to read it, thank youCan you also not use these messages and post them? I don’t know if its true, but I got a warning bout you and another person arrogantly reviewing stories saying what you should and shouldn’t do. They also said you use these PM’s and show them off without the senders permission, I should block you, and other bad things. I won’t tell you who told me, but I’m a very nice person and I don’t care how much shit you day is wrong with it. If you don’t like, then don’t read it. But if you’d like to continue reading it, go ahead.Reposting the messages is important because it creates a public record of everything I do and say. It allows you to say your piece, and protects me from people like the one you reference telling lies about what I said (which people do quite often). My readership does not attack people based on the content of their messages to me, so no harm will come to you from it.Ok then. But will you still read it?What do you mean?You have received a message from:
