I was wary of this fic from the start. Sasuke was a suave ladies man, Sakura was giggly and seemed a little on the slow side, and Naruto was a mindless spaz. However, the descriptions were interesting, and it had a lot of reviews, so I kept reading. Besides, I was only a few paragraphs in, and there was plenty of time for it to improve.

Aaand then they referred to Naruto as "the Aryan".

What? Back button time.

Hey, MGS person, mind not denoting pairings with cutesy little letter-only markers like SxO and VxR?

Because the thing is that four of the most popular pairings in the fandom, if not the four most popular, are Snake/Otacon, Naked Snake/Ocelot, Volgin/Raikov and Vamp/Raiden. It's not helpful.

While we're on the topic of Volgin/Raikov, I don't want to see Volgin used as fanfic furniture for Raikov to sit on and look good sat on. This goes for a lot of pairings - even though one member of a pairing might be more explicitly pretty, that does not mean the physical and emotional 'gaze' should be focused on them exclusively during the sex, at the expense of the other character, without some good reason. If you can tell the author finds one of these characters really hot and couldn't give a damn about the other except as a vehicle for the other character's hotness, then it ruins the hotness of the fic overall.

Summary:  Max's daughter is off an adventure of her own, trying to get out of your parents' shadow is not vert easy, though Kyle is sure she has what it takes, little romance, lots of acttion, and charecter death


Let's just try and ignore the spelling and punctuation mistakes for a moment.

Did anyone imagine a train suddenly derailing at, "and charecter death"?  Woah, I see the fourth wall cracking there.

(And I don't care what anyone says, Kyle is an awful name for a girl.  Even if it's short for Kyleena, because that sounds just as bad.)

Magical books are called tomes, not tombs. I don't want to see any more mages using tombs unless they are necromancers.

( Oh, 'Ben 10' fic writers. We need to have a little chat about the Null Void. )

In summation: when there are 5 possible seasons of canon, and two full length movies to work from, can we get a courtesy google before you just start making stuff up? Also: ew.

XD Exactly what the subject line says. I designed this myself, using fabric markers and assorted buttons and decorations to decorate a plain canvas tote bag, with chibi Pantera Grimmjow as the theme.

For now, I'm still getting the hang of things, but I might take requests/commissions, for art and/or bags and other accessories, in the future. Tell me what you think, even if it's just to point out which of the five Grimmcats is your favorite. I love any and all feedback. :3

Dear Fruits Basket writer,

While looking at your title and summary I was at first wary of your story, but after reading the first chapter, and seeing some fairly good reviews, I thought it possibly wouldn't be too bad so I kept going. What a mistake that was...

I understand Yukiru may be your OTP, as it is mine as well, and you may be against Kyouru, but I don't think Kyou would resort to teaming up with an American stalker just to break them up under any circumstances. I also highly doubt that Tohru would call anyone, even someone who is stalking Yuki and trying to kill her, a "psycho bitch" or any variation of the term. She also would not look at Kyou with malice or hate and say she'd "never forgive him", that's just not Tohru's nature. Also Yuki's dialog is completely off for someone who is sometimes described as "princely"...especially the part where he says "hell naw" and keeps calling Tohru "babe". Why? 

Plus your grammar and sentence structure are nothing to write home about. Although I probably shouldn't be talking now that I think about it. None the less, word of advice: "no" does not mean the same thing as "know".

Signed,
Disappointed Reader 

P.S.: Not that I have any real medical knowledge or anything, but if someone slashes their victim's wrists with a knife, shouldn't they be more concerned with getting said victim to a hospital instead of cooking breakfast for her?

Concrit is not whining or nitpicking. I merely pointed out your flawed pacing, clunky sentence structure, and odd characterization. That's all. I didn't insult you. I didn't make a list of things you did wrong. I gave some vague detail and suggestions on how you could possibly fix it.

Of course, knowing I don't have the best track run with you, I shouldn't have bothered. Ever since you found those all of two rants I've done - one quite directly influenced by you - you refuse to follow my advice because I'm "mean." But considering that you either tend to make excuses or ignore my attempts at advice, and whine at me that I nitpick "everything" you do, do I really have a choice?

You said in your artists' comment to tell what you liked and didn't like about the chapter. I did that. Making an angry journal entry blatantly calling my friend - who also concritted you - and I out and telling us to press the back button and leave you alone, stop nitpicking and "whining" about what you post, and that you don't give a damn what we don't like about your story is making you seem hypocritical. Marking our reviews as spam and blocking us from commenting is even higher on the immaturity scale.

I have to wonder: why are you posting your fanfiction on the internet if you're going to behave like this? :/

Oh Nolanverse Batman ficcers. I really shouldn't complain about how you interpret your characters, but the fanon assumption that Jonathan Crane suffers from multiple personality disorder (or something similar) is getting a tad bit annoying.

Why? Well, for one thing, you've based this diagnosis of yours on the fact that he refers to the Scarecrow in the third person. And that's basically it. Bruce does the same with Batman and yet, you don't accuse him of suffering MPD (comics fandom does this A LOT but they have more backing for the whole "yes, Bruce is batshit insane" theory). For another, there's already an established Batvillian with MPD and that's Two-Face. Stealing his schtick in order to give other characters more attention just seems...stupid.

And by the way, I really doubt Joker suffers from MPD either. There are about a million other mental illnesses that probably apply to him that are a lot more interesting and less woobifying

YMMV, guys, but the fanon is making me itchy.

Would it really kill you to put a warning for (alien immaculate conception) mpreg somewhere? Or at least a heads up that there was potential squick ahead. I realise that it was intended to be surprise, really, I do. But for those of us who hate mpreg with the fiery passion of a million burning suns, a little warning would have been nice.

There are plenty of ways to warn without giving away the plot-twist (warn for possible squick and stick a note at the end and link to it in the summary. Then it's the reader's choice as to whether to read the warning and if we don't, well, it's our own fault if we find something we don't like.). And no, putting 'medical issues threaten Character X's place on the team' in the summary is *not* a warning of any kind.

It's a shame because up until the point where I hit the back button repeatedly (my mouse may never forgive me), it wasn't a bad fic, as such. A little OOC in places, perhaps, although considering the 'medical issue' in question that not that surprising, really.

Edited to avoid a wall'o'text.

Dear Transformers fandom,

Why must the majority of you be so batshit insane?

Case 1: Obvious self-insert Sue-former named Cubiczirconia. What the hell were you on when you named it? You named your Sue-former after fake diamonds. I know some Transformers have some weird-ass names, but I'd say this blows even Wreck-Gar out of the water for weirdness.

Case 2: As if your total disregard for capitalization wasn't bad enough, your 'summary' (if you can call it that) is absolutely headdesking-ly painful and not a summary at all. Despite it being a pairing I like, and even recommended on a community for that pairing, between the title and your craptastic summary, I refuse to read it on assumption that the fic will be just as bad. I'm half tempted to shoot myself for being in the same fandom every time I see that fic.

Please, for the love of Primus, stop this madness. My desk can't take much more abuse.

Here @ 13ofnothing

Hi, it's my first post here. I thought I wasn't going to have a reason to rant, but apparently, I do.

It's that time of year again though a bit late than usual.

Up for grabs, amongst everything else, I have listed a Gin/Renji doujinshi. You can check out anything and everything here. I am working on taking some sample scans of all the djs listed so check back sometime this week to see the inside samples. Thanx for looking!

... taking out his person from his pants ...

... 'scuse me?

That's either a case of spellcheck gone horribly wrong, or the clumsiest euphemism I've ever seen.

Oi, Bleach angst!brats

( I would like a word with you... )

i'm really tired of reading telletubby orgies. when i look for telletubby fics i'm looking for wholesome family stories i can use to teach my little siblings to read. but all i seem to be finding is orgies. telletubbies don't have orgy. they enoy watching videos and eating tubby custard. if i wanted an orgy fic, i'd read harry potter stories. but telletubbies are meant for kids.

If you are writing a fic in which certain medical conditions play a major role, shouldn’t you maybe feel the need to either already know something about these conditions, or look them up?

( SGA examples ahead )

Long story short: If something is going to be a major plot point, do the research to make sure you get it right.

Okay people. I understand you may find a character not very attractive. Everybody has characters, who they think aren't really "hot" or even pleasant to look at. That's absolutely fine.

I don't even mind people writing make-over fics. Well, as long as they're IC, that is. This isn't about this.

What I mind is taking a character and changing his looks to make him or her attractive without any explanation and reason. I mean, describing Naruto as a "willowy, slender youth with pale skin and rosy lips" and such. There is no way Naruto would look like that, if he isn't using that one jutsu that makes you look like somebody else, whatever it was called.

( Warhammer 40 000 is weird... ) And I do realise it's a rather minor offence compared to forgetting to use grammar, but it still bugs me. Possibly because I just don't like when a character has to be attractive.

Edited because I forgot how to use html.
