*Gasp* I joined last year and I'm just reaching 200.

Thoughts on Titles
I can't say my titles have been any good. A bit cliche to say the least.

How much have you improved since your first Pokémon fanfic? In which ways did you improve the most? Do you still retain some of your early weaknesses?
I think that I've moderately improved since my last fic. Though, I still have a problem with comma splices and logic. I'm working on it.

I have written a few fan fics, and they did not turn out good. I don't really write much now, but I think that if I was, it would be better, but still not good. My grammar is shoddy at best, my spelling is sub-par and my vocabulary is just plain lousy.

You should try to write again. :) It may not turn out as good as you'd like, but it'll help you practice and improve. ^^

Yeah, there's nothing that will help you get better than actually trying! /anti-sarcasm

Isn't it funny how statement like that, meant to be encouraging, would be automatically be interpreted as sarcastic? Interesting quirk of the language and culture, really.

I love anti-sarcasm. I just invented it, but I'm sure it already exists.

Yeah, like SD and Citrinin said, try writing again. Conjure a suitable plot then get a Beta.

Yeah, yeah, try writing again. I have been brain dead.


ARGH, this hiccups won't leave me alone! Gone, here, gone, here, gone, here. It is driving me nuts.

Try drinking water, slowly.

Side note: Chapter 3 of The Chronicles of Neo Groudon is up.

You know we've gone crazy when the side note is about fanfiction, and the main note is about hiccoughs. XDD

They are gone, I used a cool remedy I found.

Please share! I don't tend to get hiccups a lot, but when I do, they last for ever.

And Citrinin, when was the last time we dedicated any vestige of effort to maintaining the outward appearance of sanity?

Ok, but before you look at it, you must sign this waiver entitling everything you own to meremember to listen your brain.

The random insanity is the very essence of the FFL. If this insanity were to suddenly dissapear, the FFL would be no more. And yes, that is the side note, since not many people read it.

*nods and begins singing a random Rammstein song that would fit the moment*

~They're coming to take me away, ha-ha, they're coming to take me away. But I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and they're coming to take me away, ha-haaaa~!~

It's not Rammstein or whoever, but it still fits.

They told me that if I went there one more time, I'd get an Asylum coupon.

Eh... Uhm...

You make an irrefutable point. XD;

I tend to do that. No-one gives a shitake mushroom, so why should we pretend we give a shitake mushroom?!!!1!!?1!!!!8!!twohundredthousandmilliononehundredandseventyfourthousandthreehundredandtwentysixpointfivesevennineonesevensixpeanuts!

I just love the mushroom distorted euphemism.

Especially when done on Austin Powers 3. Ah, screwed up subtitles... one thing we book writers can't use. XD;
