Subject: Your review

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/7785002/

Thank’s for the tips. I’ll admit that most of the time I’ve messed up your and
you’re.
The Dad flip was just a huge miss on my part also, I was sure I wrote dad but
it was a mistake on my part and I’ll own up to it.
So from what you’ve told me that ‘line’ you used an an example should look
something like this-

[“You’re triplets for Arceus sake!”

“Mom, I know you and Dad never wanted to acknowledge it, but you two know we
haven’t been close since the three of us were fifteen.”] (Mom did seem right
at the end of the sentence anymore)

It should look something like that right?

Anyway thanks for the help. But could you tell me if you have to pay a
beta-reader? I know what they do, I’ve been around the site for years, but
I’ve never had one before.

Again thanks, I don’t see why people would want to block you. Guess they can’t
take critisism. Hey you should check-out my very first work on this site and
see how bad I was way back in the day it’ll make you scream in horror.

Also…um what did you think of the prologue in general, grammer aside? Does
the first look into my universe of pokemon seem unoriginal to the reader or
that there’s a good story…but not perfect grammer to come?

Thanks for the indirect advice! I’m not going to label my flashbacks any more.
It’s nice to get tips from an experienced writer. 111 stories O_O

Subject: Thank You!

I’m terribly sorry for the late message from Lovedove, but I’ve been busy.
Lovedove said:

“Thank you for your critizism! I really appreciate it. It helps improve my
writing.
All spelling and grammar mistakes are completely unintentional.
My computer auto-corrects ‘pokemon’ into ‘Pokemon’, and I’m too lazy to go
back and fix it.
I honestly thought that was how you spell ‘Gyarados’. Haha, sorry!”

She also said that she started out her story with her character waking up
because she wanted the story to be in line with the games. She really likes
making fun of them.

One thing I’d like to add real fast, if I may:
I am the one who reads through her stories to find grammar and spelling
mistakes, but I miss things sometimes. I’m not a perfect spell/grammar check,
but I’m working on it. I think I found everything that you mention, though.

Again, thank you!

Subject: Review reply to Summer Brave

Hi, I’m sorry to bother you. I did read your review, and it was…rather
blunt, honestly. I could spend my time reasoning with you about everything,
but honestly, there’s not much point. It’s just the way I write. I’m not
planning to be a professional Pokemon writer, so I guess that’s okay.

Anyway, I do value your critique. I haven’t gotten such a thorough review in a
very long time, although it’s disconcerting how you dissected everything I did
wrong and essentially wrote my work off in the end. It’s a first chapter. It
was just a bit harsh and offensive to me.

From what I get about your profile and the blog you write, you run some sort
of fanfiction professional review resource…? I understand that essentially
you give out many critiques to the stories you read. While this is a noble
hobby, it honestly made me feel rather disheartened about my ability to write
properly. I take critiques to heart; I feel like a worthless author, despite
its good intentions. But that’s my sob story. What I guess I mean to bring up
is that this kind of critique is all well and good, but its harshness is
rather uncalled for. I, as well as many others, write fanfiction out of
enjoyment. Not to be published, but to express our ideas within the community.
My writing isn’t faultless, since I don’t have a beta reader to sift through
everything, but I didn’t think it was that terrible…As long as the writing
is decent, I don’t think it’s against the rules to post on FFnet, so such a
thorough review seems pointless and almost mean.

I just wanted to let you know that I read your review; your profile makes it
seem like you’re flamed often because of the comments you leave, but I wanted
you to know that I read it and will not act childish about it. I’m
disappointed that I couldn’t write a pleasing first chapter, but honestly,
it’s how all my stories go. I am a slow writer; no one ever criticized Charles
Dickens for writing what was essentially 3 straight pages about buttering
bread in “Great Expectations.” I do have qualms with your review, but I figure
that you honestly wouldn’t care to hear them. But I do want you to know that
it bothers me, and maybe that was your intent so I could perhaps try to be a
better writer. I don’t know.

Either way, if you decide to bother reading another chapter of the story,
please don’t leave another review like this. It’s your right, yes, but I do
find it mildly offensive. If you have opinions, please state them, but please
also don’t make me feel like a piece of trash while going about it. I know I
can’t have possibly written everything incorrectly. Another thing, and
honestly it probably isn’t my right to comment, but it disturbs me that you’ve
published this review on your blog. Asking for permission would have been
nice. I understand it’s your “thing,” and it’s also an honest critique of
something you’ve read, but it has to do with my work, and I honestly just want
the reviews people make to be seen only on the review page.

Please forgive me if you find any of my statements disagreeable. Thank you for
your review as well. But please don’t try reviewing again the way you have.
Many of your arguments have counter-arguments, though they’re more to explain
my stylistic choices. Hopefully the rest of the story will improve as more
character traits are explored and scenarios written through. Until then,
please have a nice day.

You know. You don’t have to act like a soulless bitch to tell me stuff. You
just basically copy paste shit you just told me before. It’s my way to
capitalize Pokemon names or other such. You don’t own Pokemon or the grammar
world. Tried to be nice, but in the end, I got a robot with the ability of
copying and pasting as a reply.

Live a little. This DRABBLE I make is to make people laugh and smile. Not
everything has to be fucking serious. So fuck it, Giovanni is not always a
heartless bastard.

So I bid you, good day :)

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/7785697/

Yeah, I knew the beginning was overdone, and looking back I see there were
other ways I could have incorporated the dream.

Capitalizing is canon, and I know they randomly capitalize other words in the
games, but capitalizing also happened in the manga, and when they made the TV
show into a book series. I agree about the whole trainer and professor thing
though.

First person POV has been iffy, I’ll admit.

“You’re” was a mistake I overlooked while proof reading. I remember going
through and making sure all my “your, you’re, there, they’re, and their” were
correct.

Well I guess I still have some more editing to do. It didn’t turn out as great
as I expected. I know you’ve been doing these review things all month. Have
you seen an amazingly perfect story at all this January?

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/7783052/

Thanks for the review! I can’t tell you how annoying it can get getting
reviews that compliment stories based solely on how many syllables each word
has or how “deep” the symbols are.

You might want to throw in a few euphemisms like “great concept” or
“interesting approach” in future reviews though, since criticism shouldn’t be
about putting people down for the sake of putting people down. Just remember
that there’s always someone better than you who laughs at everything you write
and thinks it’s absolute crap.

——————–

…

…I say those all the time.

They aren’t euphemisms for a person’s story sucking.

Subject: You don’t have many friends do you?

For someone who spends a seemingly long amount of their time “reviewing”
fanfiction and then posting those reviews on a personal blog, you seem
incredibly pompous. If you’re so talented at “critiquing” other peoples works,
then why don’t you put those skills to use and find a real hobby. Bashing
other peoples works will not raise your obviously low self-esteem, sorry to
break the news to you. You think you’re being helpful by pointing out
syntactical errors, but really you’re not benefiting anyone.

On a brighter note, I found great amusement looking at your poll. You sure
have a lot of hate don’t you?

The sentence structure here is so repetitive…
