Pokeauthor Responses, Part 10

“Sorry, but I don’t need your help. I can do my own story wether you like it or not.”

Story: The Question’s Answer
Chapter: 1.

From: MonfernoFreak ( http://www.fanfiction.net/u/3016020/ )
——————-

You know, I see you critizing people all the time about their stories. This
one isn’t so great, so you shouldn’t be saying shit to other people. It’s just
down right mean when you’re not even THAT good yourself.

——————-

 Thanks!
A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/275624/I’m really pleased to hear that! If you found it okay, perhaps you’d enjoy some of my writing that wasn’t written more than a decade ago?
Yesterday 2:35PM

Tbh, I hated it. I just didn’t wanna seem like you in a review (a b*tch btw). Also, why on earth would I read any of your stories? You’re just trying to make Pokemon look bad, when I actually love it. There’s no point of me reading your stories, and anyway, whenever I’d make a snide comment, you’d come back and PM me about it. Instead of coming crying to me can you please go crying to your mum or some shit, because I don’t give a sh*t!
Yesterday 2:44PM
Better to seem a bitch than be an idiot! But seriously, how’d you realize my hidden secret, that the only story I care about is the ancient one at the bottom of my profile?
Yesterday 3:52PM
Oh you know, I just know these stuff.
Yesterday 8:14PM
That’s awesome! As you also figured out using your amazing deductive powers, my goal in life is solely to to crush the souls of all other writers, so do you think you could share your tips on figuring out which single story is the only one they care about? Is it always only decade old stories? Should I get a time machine, go to the future, and only post my current reviews then for proper soul-crushing?

I must know.
Yesterday 8:20PM

1. First of all you get someone that you pretty much hate on a site, say… FanFiction?
2. Then, you go down to the bottom of their list of stories.
3. You choose one of the bottom stories (unless they don’t have a long list and then instead you just choose the very last one)
4. You have a quick read of it, and then put in a shitty review, giving them the feeling of what they made other people feel. But, just not as harsh because you’re not that kind of person.
5. Reply to their insistant replies in PM about the review :)

Was that good enough for ya? Now, I’ll tell you a few things about what you’re also confused about. It’s not always decade old stories, bu it is preferred. Sometimes, it even makes them want to go back over it and fix it or delete the whole story. Also, a time machine is highly recommended by authors!! Also, dimension changers work too because then it’s sort of distorted, making them more aggonised by the review, being unable to see all of it, and they want to find out more :O

I sincerely hope all of this helped you out, fucktard :) Yup, I really am smiling.
Yesterday 8:30PM

Aw, but I don’t like lying in reviews! You mean I can’t crush anyone soul unless I don’t actually care what the story’s about? And I have to do a really bad job of it too?

There must be some other way!
Yesterday 8:33PM

Sorry, those are the rules!
Yesterday 8:37PM
Oh well. I guess I’ll just go back to what I was doing instead of the whole time machine business.
Yesterday 8:39PM
Oh, but in the rules it says right here once you talk to MonfernoFreak you can longer be so mean, and can only be mildly critisisive (Which actually isn’t a word but that’s what the rule book stated).
Yesterday 8:41PM
Sorry, friend. The rules of Farla say lying in reviews is wrong.
Yesterday 8:43PM
The rules of MonfernoFreak says that don’t go overboard with hate, but point out only the big things, not every little nitpick you can find. How about you read my story, give me all the hate you can! Although, saying that, you do hate Pokemon (Btw, if you do want to hate my story read PUC, not the other one cuz it’s just crap. I’m gonna be deleting it).
Yesterday 8:57PM
At least I have the dignity to delete a crap story!
Yesterday 8:57PM
Okay, so your rules are to give poor reviews. Mine are different.

I actually only review by request outside of NaRe. There’s a link on my profile for how to do that.

Also, deleting old stories is cowardly.
Yesterday 9:01PM

Fine, then, if you believe that then I just HAVE to not do it. Lol, I actually probably won’t delete it. But I do delete old versions of the story (Like the two stories I have up now are both redos)
Yesterday 9:03PM
And it’s not giving a poor review. You point out good and bad points, to even it out. It’s also known as – I know these next two words will be a shock to you – … … … … ‘being nice’.
Yesterday 9:04PM
Do you ever listen to authors talk about their reviews? “Oh, people said it’s good, I wonder if they really meant it.” “Oh, this person said it’s great but they were probably just being nice.” “They said it’s the best story they’ve ever read but they said I had one mistake, they probably only complimented me because everyone says you have to point out good points when you say bad ones.”

They’re poor reviews. Mine are honest. You can disagree with them, but at least when I say something’s good it means more than that I needed to say something to balance out a criticism.
Yesterday 9:07PM

It’s just my method, I don’t always mean my compliments (Trust me, some chapters are crap that I read of people’s – I’m not saying mine are perfect – but I have to say to them it’s good anyway.) and it can get kind of annoying, because I don’t want to become that guy (no offense) that’s just bitchy towards everyone.
Yesterday 9:10PM
And I think it’s a thousand times worse to lie to someone. Hearing a story is bad can hurt, but it’s nothing like not being able to believe anyone when they say your story is good. I’d rather someone say my story isn’t the best than always fear it was terrible and everyone’s just too nice to tell me.
Yesterday 9:16PM
Whatever, I don’t really care about this fight anymore. But please, can you actually tell me your thoughts on my story. Now I’m wondering if people are just being nice to me…



That went some weird places.


This will probably result in people saying that they heard I said I was really just doing this to crush souls, but whatever, people would say that even if I never said a word.

Thank you for reviewing. I understand that my dialouge is way off. Thanks for explaining! I know it looks cliche right now but I might throw in something suprising. I wanted to make the pokemon have personalities.
AbbieLou | re: Your review to Ruby
A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8889745/Thank you for your review. I’ll definitely stop capitalizing pokemon and their names in the following chapters. I appreciate you taking the time to point that out to me.

Dipitai413 | re: Your review to Scratch in a Diamond
A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8884734/Haha thanks for the review! Well, I’m really bad at dialogue,as you can tell. At least you can tell its dialogue though… My character will get better and more of her background will be released in the later chapter so it will explain why she is such a idiotic, dramatic, bratty girl (she’s my dynamic character or whatever its called… The character that has a drastic change. So don’t worry about her persona, it’ll get better. Its pretty annoying for me to write too! I think I may have overdid it though…). Also, thanks for letting me know about the age, I was going to change it to eleven but totally forgot (I’m also a horrible editor). The scyther will also be explained in the next chapter!

Thank you for telling me so much that I missed or got wrong! I’ll fix it up a bit now :) Haha now that you pointed it all out, I realized it sucks so far so I’ll improve the first chapter to be more interesting and less confusing.

Subzero Dragon | re: Your review to Wandering Legend
A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8887252/Well, ah…ouch. You’re nothing if not to the point! That’s okay. Its called constructive -criticism- for a reason! One thing I think I disagree on is the capitalization. In the Pokémon universe, species -are- capitalized, as is the word “Pokémon”. Some writers, like you, disagree, and I understand that. I know the quotation issues are the thing here…that’s my weakness. Thanks for pointing it out. That aside, how exactly would you suggest making it less “filler”? I know I can be kinda wordy at times…is that what you mean?

dsgamerAllyson | re: Your review to Shadows of Almia
A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8887641/I’m sorry I’m really new to this. When I type them on my computer and when I save them some words will get taken out. Believe me I’ve tried everything I can to make it stop but it might be my computer since it was my mom’s old one. Do you possibly have any idea on how to fix it? If so please send me it through private messaging. Thank you for the advice! No one said anything about it and I assumed it was fine.

WolfSoulPuppy | re: Your review to An UmbreonGlaceon Forbidden Love Story
A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8881866/Uh, thanks for the review, but the way you explain I have to write “Hello.” I said. really confused me. Writing I said, “Hello.” doesn’t always work. If I wrote I yelled, “Flower!” just doesn’t sound right. Sorry if I confused you. I also wanted to get on the topic of capitalizing pokemon names. You do capitalize pokemon names like Eevee or Charzard. Why? I don’t know, but you do. :) Thank you for reading this,
Wolfsoul

WolfSoulPuppy | re: Your review to An UmbreonGlaceon Forbidden Love Story
A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8881866/Chapter 1 is the prologue. I’m just too lazy to change it.

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8881941/Well, I’m sorry I made some mistakes in my story, but I wasn’t really going for professional with absolutely no mistakes whatsoever. I’m not in this to please everyone who reads my stories, I write them because I enjoy it, so I’m sorry if you didn’t enjoy it or like the way I portrayed the characters. If you have problems with the way I write, then just don’t read my stories, simple is that.

A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8888239/Well sorry, for not being perfect for you. You’re obviously one of those people who like to pick on other people’s stories. Sorry, but I don’t need your help. I can do my own story wether you like it or not. It’s just a stupid pokemon name. Who cares? It’s not like its going to be published. I have my stories, and you have yours.

I-Fallen-Angel-I | re: Your review to Pokemon Ranger: The Type Experts
A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8888633/Oh, I didn’t notice the apostrophe, or the mistakes in my dialogue! Thanks for pointing it out!

As for the Pokemon names, I know it’s a bit weird how I capitalized their names, but I’ve noticed that in any Pokemon game, their names have a capital letter. I was just trying to make it neater to me and the reader. I guess that some people don’t agree with me…

I’ve taken your advice to the heart. As I said, I’m still new to this whole fanfic thing. Keep reviewing please.

I really appreciate you taking the time to give criticism. If you would have seen the first story I posted, you would notice the difference big time. I at least hope you enjoy it for what it is and continue to read and give feedback. Thank you!
pokefan113 | Re: Your Review
A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8889793/Wow, this was harsh. HOWEVER, don’t dismiss this PM as me whining about tough criticism. I’ll address your points, then you can go on with your day.

Well, most “cities” in the Pokémon game series are miniscule. You know, just a few streets, 4-10 buildings. There are some that are larger, yes. The reason I said that was to tell the reader how infamous Ben is. This immense city (the only one he’s really committed serious crimes in) has wanted posters for him everywhere.

Yeah, that’s exactly it. Someone wouldn’t recognize him unless they were searching for him. Thanks for the tough words about my semicolon issue, by the way. I’ve found my self overusing them in all of my writing. It’s just that I (think :P) I’ve finally learned their proper use, so I got excited. My fault.

This was, actually, an experimental story. My main goal was to use as many differing adjectives/adverbs as possible without flooding the story. I apologize, I thought that “lowly” would be acceptable. I do admit that the “lowly” DID tug at my conscience.

Hm. Okay, I think I get it. Thank you for explaining it to me. I think I’ll go fix that part now.

Alright, Truffles is “out” because of the fact that he is being pursued. Ben wants some sort of ready protection from the guards (or in this case, that crazy ninja lady). Also, his typhlosion is his only pokemon.

You also zig-zag when an alligator is chasing you. See, by “zig-zag” I basically meant cutting corners here and there. I should’ve thought of a better way to describe it. Again, obviously my fault.

Look, this I never really thought much of. The problem of sight arose in my mind, but I dismissed it. Maybe they’re standing in an area where the moonlight can shine freely without being obstructed by leaves. Also, by my (terrible) memory, I think that they are rather close. I’m not sure if that matters to you or not. The point you bring up is a good one, as always.

This would be tough for a reader to imagine, I understand. She is a trained sort of assassin (I haven’t had much time to think of the backstories) that, frankly, loves killing those who “deserve” it. That’s why she takes her time.

The Flamethrower (I like to capitalize attacks, sue me) was aimed at her feet due to yet another backstory. Long-story-short, Truffles isn’t really ever in the mood to kill someone. This attack is most used, most trained-with. It’s very powerful, the force of it throwing the pursuer off of her feet. The rest is a mystery, Ben just focusing on getting out of her grip. She probably hit the ground in an awkward fashion. I leave that to the reader’s imagination (which was possibly a bad idea).

Again, thanks for the review! I need some tough criticism.

Red Fang71 | re: Your review to The Story of Red Fang
A response to your review at http://www.fanfiction.net/r/8890889/Honestly, I don’t really care for being picky about every little grammatical error I make. If I did, nothing would ever get done and I would never write. I just want to write to entertain and have fun. If you read the description, it should have said this all started from something called Project: New World. It’s all for fun. Again, I could care less about my grammar because as long as I get my point across, then I’m happy.

I am glad, however, that you at least read it. Thank you.

Also, the whole German Houndoom thing is a little inside joke with my friends and I. If you don’t like it, then please don’t continue to read this story because when Red Fang becomes a bigger character, it’s going to drive you crazy.

    ‘ Too lazy to change it.’

    How stupid. -_- Is it that much time taken up to fix up a few mistakes here and there? It’s funny how they’ll spend the time writing the story, but won’t spend a few minutes fixing things up.

    1. Ember says:

       Not just spend time writing the story, but spend time informing Farla that they’re lazy!

  2. sliz225 says:

    “Its called constructive -criticism- for a reason!”
    I love you, whoever you are.  (Also, it should be “it’s”–but I still love you!)

  3. actonthat says:

    [[ I don’t always mean my compliments]]

    WHY DO PEOPLE NOT GET THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM

    1. Farla says:

      The weirdest thing is how they immediately saw the problem when I suggest that maybe other people are doing the same to them. For something that’s supposed to be about empathy, people sure do fail to think about how someone would feel.

  4. Ginger says:

    This just in from MonfernoFreak, because yes, I was so bored I decided to tell that little shit to suck it up and stop white-knighting bad authors, and apparently, Farla, you annoy him so much because you hardly ever COMPLIMENT. WOW. I had no idea that critiquing had to have compliments! I guess no constructive critique I’ve ever received was valid then, because I didn’t see a single compliment anywhere! Oh my, that’s five years of improvement gone straight down the drain! 

    People are so retarded.
