    And now it occurs to me that I should probably work on my social anxiety problems.

    That thread... It's just a whole mess now. The author with his "my story is just too deep to be understood!", people claiming that Pokemon should never be written about in a mature manner, and just language being thrown around there in so many ways. Sure, the author isn't looking good, but where did these "reviewers" come from?

    And no worries about your own review count. Aside from your story, I haven't reviewed in a long while. I wasn't pinning any of the blame on you.

    ...I need to send you a picture of Bean. It would just make more sense, Magic Legume.

    It now occurs to me that by not replying, I may have given the impression that I was intimidated. No worries: my profile page is specially designated for rage-driven explosions.

    I'd say you have every right to be upset, as I have little right to complain, seeing as I've never been the most prolific reviewer. I think some of the reviewers might be growing weary of writers who won't listen to reviews. Worst case scenario you have writers like this inexplicably narcissistic n00b here. Just read his responses to comments, it'd be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

    Y'know, I totally didn't mean to explode in a ranting mess in my last VM to you. I was just frustrated with the way things were going, and it was kind of related to F&W. So it just bubbled out into a few paragraphs of Astinus-rage.

    So apologies for that.

    For a while, the way that non-constructive reviewers were dealt with was by having the more experienced members review, so that the newer members could see how things work around F&W. Unfortunately, people drop off the face of the planet/have uni and work/don't seem to care, so that kind of ended. There was also some problem with how it would be determined what was a helpful review or not.

    I'm thinking that things should just go back to the way it was before where I hand out warnings/infractions for non-constructive posts. It works for the Art forums (which is where I got the idea), so it should work for us in F&W.

    And now I can't unsee Pikachu as Winnie-the-Pooh.

    Will do. Thanks again for reviewing. It's always nice to get one with some helpful specifics instead of one of the "rite moar" variety. I wouldn't have felt as irked about that Spanish guy's comment had he not made a very similar one on another fic two minutes later. Seriously.

    On an unrelated note (your avatar reminded me a bit of this), am I the only one who thinks that Pikachu looks like a mouse-y, Japanese version of Winnie the Pooh?

    Say (and imagine that drawn out to be just annoying enough without eye-twitching) if you need help with the Digimon aspect of your fic, don't hesitate to ask. I've been reading Digimon fics for years, so I have some knowledge there.

    No sweat, whenever you're ready. Sorry about your work, though. Hope that gets better.

    I swear I am going to read your Digimon fic. It's open in a tab right now. Just that work has been a pain recently, but I have a lot of days off, so...soon. Before the first week of August, certainly.

    I saw that before I went to bed in my last quick glance here. He's really telling anyone who would want to read his fic that they should go through the trouble of copying the story, pasting the story into another program, and then working through that mess to make paragraphs.

    I pretty much made the expression in my icon and went to bed.

    This darkpokeball guy's story gets even better. In his fic's thread, he actually told either me or Jaxy (he didn't specify) to copy/paste his own fic into a word processor to make it legible. His ego:experience ratio is astounding.

    You'll be the first to know if I get any questions about it. Or complaints.

    And the extra funny part is that now people will see "Fanfiction Contest" with your name next to it in the forum list and get all excited.

    I've seen it, and I'm not really looking forward to it as I was with older seasons. I'm hoping that there will be more than just one human character.

    Otherwise, it just seems to be a season to add onto the "beast vs human forms" war that was mentioned in Frontier.

    idk. I haven't really been into a Digimon season since Frontier. I watched a few episodes of Savers, but it didn't really grab me.

    I trust you've seen the pic for the new Digimon series coming to Japanland this summer. I'm having trouble finding any reason to be optimistic about its quality. What do you think?

    Forgot to ask earlier: Would you please add a [Pokemon] prefix to my fic's title? I hadn't touched it since before the merge, and I can't seem to add it myself. Thanks!
