Your grammar is perfect. Somehow though, I’m imagining an old lady in her late
thirties behind a big ole’gray computer with a big, thick gut.
Though this story is amazing. You seem to live a non-existent life. I pity
you. Pathetic really C:
Well, I suppose I’m happy if your happy!

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/7788684/
Hello! Thanks for reading my story! :D
i don’t know if you really interest this story or just like ‘adventure’ type
stories.
yeah, i really need a beta reader. one have asked me but not officially… I
decided not to take it.
I don’t know why, it feels uncomfortable.
I think the beta reader will know it first than any other readers and it
seemed like it’s no fair. Other reasons, well… i want to improve by myself.
if you really like this story and want to read it with no mistakes grammar in
it, sorry to disappoint you but i’ll try my best.
English is not my mother language after all.
and don’t say to me that i shouldn’t write it in English, in the first place.
I write it in English because I want everyone that likes Pokemon Special read
it, not only people in my country, but all people…
i will get improve over time, so just wait (if you really like this story,
xixixi…)
and if you really want to help me, please point out what mistakes that i’ve
done and correct me. So, i beg you to not just point it out without correct
me.
thanks for the solution though, but sorry, i don’t want beta reader. (i don’t
know if i’ll change my mind in the future, but not now.)
and please, comment to the story, not only just the surface thing like
grammar. An Author really need review about the story – the plot, i mean. It’s
not only about grammar. Okay?
see you at my chapter two, if you still like reading it! :D
and sorry for bad grammar or spelling that i used to reply your review or to
wrote the story.
Thanks, Happy Wednesday by the way! :D

Switching POVs?..
hmm…
I’ll try to (either) limit up to 2 POVs at a chapter or just switch every
chapter.
:U
The original draft was meant to be told in a first-person POV.
(I have problems writing in third-person, so… eh.)
Anyways, sorry for bothering ya with 2 PMs.

Thanks a lot for the critiques! I had capitalized the species name because
that’s what they seemed to do in the games. (I used to play Pokemon Blue lol).
And yeah, I agree that it seems strange that the gym leader wouldn’t let him
through, but he’s the leader of a crime syndicate, and I thought this to be
some sort of trumped-up excuse to spite little kids. And then the main
character never caught another Pokemon mainly because (again, based off
Pokemon Blue) they don’t sell Pokeballs at the mart in Viridian. Plus, the
Pokemon there are all third evolution and would be difficult to catch with a
Pokeball.
I hope this answered a few of your questions!

There is a difference between constructive criticism and trolling. This is
fiction. If you don’t like it, don’t read it. Of course there are gramatical
errors, I’m not perfect. Find a fic you actually care about and “help” them.
I will argue with you no more about this.

Thanks for taking the time to review my story! Unfortunately, I didn’t
actually explain that until a little later on in my story, sorry. Maybe I will
fix it now. On the topic of paragraphs, although I appreciate your concern and
recognize that you are correct, I will continue to style my paragraphs the way
I do now. Not because you’re wrong but because that is how I have written for
years, and if I change now my writing will look wrong to me and I will stop
writing it. Please continue to read my story because it is my first one and I
will appreciate further reviews. Thanks again for responding!

The entire premise behind my idea revolved around the main character being a
greenhorn in the training business, so I can’t make her an established
trainer. Bit of a conundrum, really. I’ll try to make her younger, but I don’t
think I can make her eleven and comfortably write romance into the story.

I still believe that we don’t have irreconcilably different views on this
issue, and I’d still like to try and correspond with you until some sort of
understanding has been reached, because your objections to my last PM were
ones I neither expected nor feel are justified, which I believe is the result
of mutual miscommunication.
Firstly, I’d like to clarify that the original perversion explanation was
never intended as a serious one. What I was trying to convey is that I simply
didn’t have an intradiagetic reason for female morphs having human sexual
features (specifically breasts), and was making a throwaway comment on the
spot to demonstrate that one can simply assume that the creators of the morphs
wanted them to bear human sexual features, and that this could be reasonable
(“let’s not make them too dissimilar to the human employees to promote
conciliation”) or disturbing (“breasts are hot”) in nature. At no point
did I
espouse those explanations myself, nor even condone them. I might even bring
it up later in the fic as part of an argument about ethics, condemning that
very view. Furthermore, the real intradiagetic reason is ultimately “the
morphing process gave them breasts because their physiology is made to
resemble that of humans” and whether that’s valid is a pointless argument,
given the level of realism in the genetic structure of pokemon to begin with.
I wish also to clarify that ‘the scientists are perverts’ was never intended
to be used as an explanation in the story, either, and was a facetious
suggestion.
The extradiagetic reason is similar to that more reasonable explanation above:
it makes the morphs human enough that it encourages morph/human relations to
be more cordial. In my experience, as I have tried to make clear already,
humans naturally identify more easily with creatures similar to themselves.
For example, in the recent movie Avatar, the “Na’vi” aliens were originally
intended to bear little resemblance to humans, but their design was changed
later during the production process to be extremely humanlike, to promote
sympathy from the audience, as opposed to xenophobia. It’s this sort of
reasoning that I had in mind in the first place, not any of the perversion
that may have come across. If there was any, it certainly wasn’t intentional.
Also, the relative physical humanity of the morph characters is something I
want to be a key theme.
Incidentally, I objected to your original suggestion of a skirt as appropriate
wear for Salem because I assumed your reasoning was based on gender
constructs, which I objected to. I did not realise you intended to suggest
skirts as unisex wear, and I regret that there was ever a misunderstanding on
this point.
I will not object if you post correspondence on your blog in the future, but
I’d appreciate it if there was some communication from you about this.

Sorry about all that grammar. English is one of my least favourite subjects
because I get confused but thanks! I tried to fix it and now I have something
to refer to since those certain things always confused me. But about the
songfics being banned. In the guidelines it doesn’t state anywhere that
songfics are banned as it is still a fic and in my opinion as long as you
don’t claim the lyrics to be yours unless you really did write them it is
still following the rules. I hope you understand where I’m coming from as
that’s my best FINISHED story so far. Thanks a bunch for reading my story,
reviewing and your time.

Firstly, thank you for reviewing my story. Secondly, this story moves
extremely slowly in my perspective. Even though elaborating is much wanted,
this is a bit too much. Not a lot of people want a story too in depth. Still,
I think it’s amazing how you put so much detail.

right! i will work so super hard on working on the grammar and spelling, i’d
be so grateful if you’d keep on following my story it will take a little long
for me to update Once Upon A Rose due to the fact that i had ACCIDENTALLY
deleted the file in my phone.
i’m still a beginner, grammar and spelling wise, i suck at writing but it just
makes you a wee bit more truthful and free so i keep doing it and my classmate
told me about this site so i gave it a go. loved it. and became a member of
the family, i started writing for FF and so i’m happy about that and even
though i feel a bit hurt by your review (mentally rather weak) i won’t let
that bring me down. i’d keep a smile on my face and heart and mind and keep on
writing in hope that it’ll reach what you are looking for and it will
definitely improve by the next chapter so i hope you would keep reading this
fic.
i thank you so much for your honest criticism, look for more improvement in my
next work if i did something wrong, feel free to critic me and give me a
proper english lesson.

Thank you Grammar Police. Considering the fact I wrote this in like fifteen

So anyway, now we’re done with that.
This wasn’t a bad year’s run at all. People not only reacted very favorably toward the reviews, but most of the time seemed to want to take the advice, unlike other times when it seemed they were just agreeing by rote for some reason.
LOLrape was gloriously absent, as was extreme sexism. We did have an upswing in whatever the short term for having sex with a two year old nonhuman you’ve raised from birth and legally own is, but I’m pretty sure that was a matter of the writers not thinking as opposed to actually thinking that was part of the romance.
Whether or not this had any real impact…that, sadly, remains to be seen. The fact I’ve had the dialogue correction paragraph for years now and it’s still in constant use is pretty worrying. But there were a handful of decent stories mixed in! Specifically, 19 stories were added to the C2.
638 reviews were given in total. I read an unknown number more given there were a good number that were either script or not a story that I didn’t bother with, or I found I was blocked and the review was just the same copy/paste as usual.
Did you know there’s over a thousand Homestuck stories in the FFN category now? Someone should make decent story C2 for that.
“Old lady in her late thirties”?! Good grief…
