  • Hehe yup, saw. Thanks :) For my real chaptered fic, I hope to write more of it at some point, but yeah I do like the way I write. XD

    I haven't given it a review yet, but I did read your Neo Groudon fic, and it definitely sounds interesting. I like how the Groudon entity seems to have quite a "human" attitude of things.
    I've read it a while ago actually...I Just Realized that you wrote it...(Should of known...As the title bas your username in it...)
    Hey, I think it was you that said youve wanted to do a pokemon world war thing for quite a bit now.Im quitting writing it because im not that experienced, but I was wondering if you wanted to either carry on or create a new pokemon world war.PM me back with your answer
    RE:I hope you know what you're doing writing an OT fic.

    Mate, I like to think I know fairly well what I'm doing. I've written OTs before and I think they turned out OK. I've read the guide, and every other guide I could find. The starters will not be 'regular' starters, Eevee, Dratini, Riolu or whatever. There will not be legendaries involved (as far as I can see. If there are, they will not be captured or befriended). The characters' sole aim will not be to become the Pokemon Master. One wants to be a coordinator/artist and the other wants to be a policeman. They go on their 'Pokemon Journey' because it's an extended school project of sorts.

    If you weren't addressing me, I'm sorry, but that's what it seemed like.
    Er...read my reply over your question if English is my first language. XD In short, it is, but I do have problems with awkward sentences and tenses sometimes. Also, because of 7k, I'm unable to look over my work for grammar and spelling mistakes.
    Sure. After I come back, I'll have plenty of time to work on pretty much everything again. And you're more than welcome to keep sending stuff in. I'll check my e-mail eventually.

    As for the timezone, EST.

    Also, as a note, I just read over the new version of your app, and while you filled out the first part of the history nicely, there's still the issue of the experiment. I really don't know if this kind of character would work, particularly because either way, the experiment would have produced some kind of effect on the character. (It was a traumatic situation, after all. Or, at least, one can imagine being kidnapped the first time around to participate in an experiment wouldn't make having the situation happen all over again on Eos particularly pleasant.)

    Not to mention the details of the experiment itself may have an effect on the character, depending on what the experiment was. For example, if it was the same one as in your fic, that might cause your character to be incredibly powerful compared to the rest of the cast. It works in the world of your fic because the story's centered around that, but in the story of Eos, completely human contestants need to work together to survive.

    If it's not the same kind of experiment as in your fic, then we may be looking at something else that could potentially put the character over-the-top and either, as I've said in my other post, serve as an extreme advantage or an extreme detriment to the rest of his team.

    So, I'm sorry to say this, but I'll have to decline it for a second time.
    Just got it. Since it's so close to when I'll be going on holiday for a week, I'm not sure if I'll be able to get it done (at which point, I profusely apologize and wouldn't mind if you posted this chapter while I'm away), but I'll see what I can do.
    Basically, yeah, you'll want to e-mail your finished chapters (doesn't have to be the entire fic -- just whatever you want to post) to the beta. The beta goes over it and sends it back to you. You work on it a bit, talk things over with the beta (if any part of the corrections confuses you/doesn't quite make sense), and then, when you've polished up the fic, you can post it.

    Usually, the beta will go over the fic the way I have in my last review to your work. For the most part, they'll correct grammatical errors, pointing out ones that get repeated. If something about the story or language doesn't quite sound right to them, they'll make a note of it so you can get the reader's perspective on how the story flows (unless they specifically don't focus on it). So, just think of it like those times in elementary and middle school when you had a teacher go over your first draft before you write up your final draft.

    Anyway, my e-mail's [email protected] . I'll have to admit I won't be in for a week starting Thursday, but if you get anything in to me before then, I'll get it back to you before I leave.
    After skimming over the revised version of your story, although I'm a comprehensive/proofreader beta, I've given things some thought. If you'd like, I could serve as your beta, considering I've already worked a lot with you already. There's some oddities in the current version that could be worked out (like, for example, how someone managed to look at his own teeth when there's no mirror present, aside from problems with commas), and I think I could offer some help to help you iron them out if you're interested and still looking for a beta.
