Almost all nice today! And what wasn’t was hilariously over the top in aggression, so all in all, pretty good.

There’s a gilch in my document reader/editor,it’s seems to cut off most of the words in the story. You would notice that too. I will try to fix the story and post a edit notice confirming the change.
I’ll also try to not make it look like word salad.
Thanks for the constructive cristism tho!

I noticed your review on my story, “The Blizzard” and did my best to add in the corrections.
I need someone to beta-read my story. I have a Google Docs account, I can give you commenting access to the story where you can directly write in suggestions into the document or highlight passages for commenting. I had several other people look at this but most either didn’t finished looking it over or didn’t even look it over at all. This story is only four chapters so it shouldn’t take you too long to review. Let me know if you wanna review, you can find my gmail address on my profile page.
Sincerely,
Nigel Yearning
PS: Oh, and thank you for your help on that review!

Okay, so I knew this day would come…I respect your opinion, however I agree/disagree with some of the things you said.
“Your attempts to dance around “said” every time are a thousand times worse…”
Like, is it confusing to read or anything? Since there’re so many characters, I thought it’d be less boring to incorporate some variety than just “Gold said”, “Silver said”, “Red said”, which frankly would drive me nuts. But if it’s not just a preference thing and it’s actually confusing to read, I understand what you’re saying.
Capitalization: Yeah, the thing is I like to have the accent on “pokémon” in my stories, but Word only autocorrects it if I capitalize “Pokémon”. Sometimes I forget to uncapitalize it before publishing. My apologies, I’ll fix it.
“…not interesting enough to be the majority of your chapter.”
Okay, fair enough. But this really isn’t a chapter, it’s more like a prologue of sorts to precede the main story. The main story is the leisure cruise on Platina’s yacht, where the Dex holders will react and talk about the fortunes. I just thought it’d be good to end the chapter with the fortunes, so that it leaves you in suspense on what they mean/what’s gonna happen.
I always like to think well-written critique is better than poorly-written praise. So thanks.

No, I’m going to keep posting. And if you didn’t notice, the first chapter is mainly author’s note but is part of the story. I broke no rules.

Hey, thanks for calling me out on that, and for the tips! I didn’t realize how bad it really was til reading back through it, and have since taken it down. I think I just needed to get out of my system and off the docs list, but thank you for the writing tips, and for calling me out on how bad it was and how awful it was.

Well, your the first person to review here that actually had constructive criticism. I had to delete a guest review because they weren’t commenting on the story but they were trolling me with hate. Thank you for this positive comment. I will do my best for the next chapter. Again, thank you for commenting a positive thought for the story.
Also, do you have any tips for writing a Pokémon battle? I am horrible with the battle that is going to happen in the second chapter.
Thanks!
And finally, there’s this dipshit. Unfortunately, I didn’t bother to grab the whole thing last night and sometime between sending me the last few messages and me waking up he decided to just block me.

Im not writing some slavery kink…thats your idea of fun…since you suggested it.
And also Xero basically is her master (trainer-Pokemon relationship) and she does love him and he loves her. Think you skipped the part when i mentioned that:
A) they have known each other for over 18 years
B) Xero was a child and she was a Ralts when they first met
C) they are basically brother and sister
D) they are only a couple years apart in age
E) why the fuck eould i have a slavery sex thing in a story about four different people with four different lives?

Well someone figured out how to turn off the profanity filter.
The author doth protest too much.
I kinda wonder if the “totally not a kink” thing was an intentional tactic to put you on the defensive, honest stupidity and inability to comprehend your points or a subconscious slip.
My best guess is some sort of religious thing. There’s a bunch of Christian stuff that’s anti-porn by way of being anti-sex, which results in people being really invested in exactly where the line is and what they can get away with that’s not technically a sin. And they’re obviously very, very familiar with porn, since they knew the master stuff was a subset of hentai. SO, someone who is watching porn but feels super guilty about it, and is reacting to what I’m saying as “you done a sin today!” and not “your views on relationships are repugnant”.
Well, whether or not that’s what going on here, one thing is clear: you should definitely start your reviews with “you done a sin today!”
TBH the difference in name-calling and level of escalation between you and Mini-Farla is really illuminating — and his handle isn’t even explicitly male, it’s just not explicitly female.
I’m not sure, actually – I mean, they are calling me a cunt a lot, but they’re Australian, so that’s not gendered, and the accusations that no it is I that is the pervert seem a weird tactic to take toward a female complaint. On the other hand, maybe they figured as a girl I would be more easily warded off by the accusation.
I actually have a pet theory that a lot of the escalation of your interactions is because people expect women to be scared off more easily by escalation, and then when you’re not they go “oh fuck” and you get the weird backtracking and “okay let’s just stop arguing.” When you don’t think posturing at someone will work in the first place, it doesn’t make sense not to go in relatively calmly.
That’s total conjecture, though.
Irrelevant to the discussion at hand, but Australians use “cunt” as a non-gendered insult?
I wouldn’t be so quick to excuse the use of “cunt” by people from Australia or the UK, people love to go on about how it’s not really a gendered insult there but I think they tend to protest too much and that’s not reflected in actual usage. Plus it’s still pretty damned sexist even then, in the sense that the very nature of its being insulting relies on the notion that female parts are disgusting.
I agree with this, perhaps unsurprisingly.
Could be wrong, but I think the reason could be more from reputation than gender bias. The name “Farla” is somewhat more feminine, but I believe I’ve read a few review responses by people who thought you were a guy.
As for the pervert accusation, it’s just a poor attempt at verbal jiu jitsu. They believe they’re being accused of perversion and try to flip it, claiming only a pervert would see what they were doing in that light.
Perhaps I’m projecting a bit though. I acknowledge that differences exist between male and female, but I tend to not give a person’s gender much importance while online. I tend to have that as my starting point, and only add a person’s gender bias to my assessment of him/her after seeing clear evidence of it.
Edit: Meant to reply to Farla’s response to Act.
I mean, whether or not “feminine” handles get different treatment online isn’t really a question. The objectively do. The question is how big a factor that plays in the level of vitriol in review responses. This one may turn out to be anomalous, but it also may not.
(General advice: Always always use a neutral handle when buying/selling online. Do not make my mistakes)
Anyone is receptible to anamalous backlashes. In April, I got PMs from a pokemon porn writer mentioning he was in middle school while trying to physically intimidate me. There’s a good chance many of these extreme responses are from underaged individuals.

Really? Huh.
That’s pretty sad.
