It's really confusing regarding the list... x_x;

Right now, technically it's empty, but at the same time there is. I owe Billy a beta reading, though I so thought that there is some condition written in the PM that if the condition applies then I don't have to read it. I was sure that the condition applies so I didn't read it, but apparently I have to read it.

Waiting patiently for "Trial of Reluctance" to be reviewed, as it should be reviewed now but the review order is taken back because the author found a huge flaw of some kind, and want to fix it first before reviewing... so yes o.o;

Technically empty, but there are 2 waiting in a way as well.

Yamato-san September 12th, 2005 2:12 PM

Pokemon fanfics always get priority because that's what this forum is all about. If you want the list to extend to include non-Pokemon stuff, add in 3 more then.

(oh but is it possible to send me the word document over email instead of relying on that PM? It's easier to do because I can use it to check grammar and blah blah blah stuff)

pokejungle September 12th, 2005 3:09 PM

I emailed you the document >>;

*IMs you*

Frostweaver September 15th, 2005 9:17 PM

Just a small update on how reviews are going... I have to re-read Trials of Reluctance to refresh my mind (last review on it is... before summer). So I'm working on things ^^; So, not dead here >>;

Busy busy 2 tests tomorrow GAHHHH

Someone shut up the silence. ._.

Okay, I'll ask a question. Do you think age doesn't matter with a fic? I understand that at any age you're capable of learning new things and improving yourself, but take for example a ten year-old. Do you expect them to write as well as a sixteen year-old because they can?

*gives a chocolate Hugs candy thing to frosteh and goes off to decipher physics hw --;*

oni flygon September 18th, 2005 7:32 PM

... well... *points at Lily* She impressed me with her writing and she was 12 when I first read her fics... and they were wonderful...

hell she can even write better than me...

Breezy September 18th, 2005 7:57 PM

Lileh doesn't count. ;-; She's smarter than I.

...Yes I know it's suppose to me instead.

oni flygon September 18th, 2005 8:23 PM

True, but Lily is still younger than most of us...

Frostweaver September 18th, 2005 8:58 PM

You mean, all of us (who frequent the Fanfiction Lounge)?

I want to break up the silence too but I can't double post ^^; But I've been waiting.

Age matters, yet it doesn't at the same time. Age doesn't exclude you from being treated in a certain way when your work is being read objectively, but age does matter when you're writing comments which are meant for the subjective. Young writers deserve to be praised for a great piece of writing that's beyond what the general people of that age group can do. However, age doesn't mean that they should be judged on a handicap scale. They need to know how to improve and what needs to be done to improve.

Authors of different ages generally write differently in theme and style too. Romance genres grow in strength through age, for example.

Well i have a fic, but i haven't posted it here yet. Its contestshipping, but I'm sorta stuck with writers block at the moment.

Negrek September 19th, 2005 12:45 PM

Generally, writers mature as they get older (read: they get better), but the writing by some young kids can still be quite impressive.

This place has been sooo dead. *le sigh*

KneeFay September 19th, 2005 1:11 PM

And I honestly don't see why you can't fix the formatting after you c/p the story into the box in PC... it doesn't take that long.

Well, I haven't seen a SINGLE good dark chaptered fanfics from young writers yet. Young writers seem to do a lot better with journey-action-adventure fanfics that aren't to the point of dark yet. Also, angst seems to be best at the senior high range... I haven't seen someone with a good angst story (without Mewtwo, that is. Mewtwos seem to give older writers a tremendous boost) that is younger or older than that range yet...

*bragging begins*



OH MY GOODNESS I asked for the government to re-score my English provincial exams (the diploma) and I got my results back... I don't know how the heck did they mark the first time, but the essay went from a 64 to a 96 O_o;

(English mark: 80 => 88)

How do they make such a huge difference in marking...

*ahem* o.o; Ok keep talking about fanfics now

*wants a hug*

pokejungle September 19th, 2005 1:59 PM

Er...*hugs Frosty* ;P

I'd like to write an angsty story. Actually I'd really like to 0______________o; Maybe I'll start one later tonight. My first FanFic was a Dark one. And it sucked >( But it was meh first anyways.

So...ya 0_0;

oni flygon September 19th, 2005 2:10 PM

My dark fic... it's something I abandoned... yeah... I was lazy and was out of ideas...

It wasn't that dark anyways...

Strawberry Delcatty September 19th, 2005 2:16 PM

Angst really isn't my thing. I'm sorry, but it just isn't.

Also, it's hard to picture anything dark relating to Pokemon.

Act September 19th, 2005 4:19 PM

I don't mind angst in moderate and sensible doeses, but a fic pureply about angsting I find insanely annoying.

Dark fics are great to read, though. Though admittedly I don't like gory darkfic.

Negrek September 19th, 2005 5:48 PM

I've never equated darkfic with angst. Really, most of the darkfic I read isn't angsty at all. Well, there's always a little bit of angst in there, but it's generally pretty brief because the ones that I read are generally fairly action-oriented. I've never really sat through an actual angstfic, to be perfectly honest. I have a hard enough time getting through angsty chapters in books, much less entire 'fics revolving around it.

*sigh* So, the fanfic battle is officially dead now, isn't it?

Iveechan September 19th, 2005 8:31 PM

I hate angst and it always involve Pokemon I dislike too (Mewtwo, Umbreon, et cetera).

Also, I am old and write like crap. And I've had a few people tell me that I should write better for someone my age, but that's rare. My writing is more like jumbled thoughts than a solid, coherant idea. Which is why I write better on the computer, because I can cut and paste stuff and more easily tweak things that sound weird. Chapter 3 of Guilty by Design was all written out of order and then arranged and glued together. I easily get jealous of people younger than me who are much more skilled, which is why you don't see me reading and reviewing many fanfics.

Frostweaver September 19th, 2005 9:31 PM

...

*realizes that Frosty isnt' normal as angst and dark are probably his favorite Pokemon fanfic genres*

There's also character angst too. Best example off the top of my head right now is Brian's story regarding Satoshi's mindset. Reading it 2 o'clock at night seriously isn't smart... I was completely surprised by the ending (which is NOT COMMON at all for me at reading Pokemon fanfics... I can usually guess it out pretty well) as well. However, the 2nd re-read of the story turns out to be boring, but that's probably because I know all the surprises already.

It's true that angst fanfic hero is either Mewtwo, or a dark type. Yet Iveechan's small list forgot another Pokemon who isn't a ghost, psychic or dark type... Hmm, anyone want to guess which Pokemon this is?

*wants a hug*

Iveechan September 19th, 2005 10:57 PM

Is it Eevee? Pikachu? Eevee angsts about everyone abusing it, even though every sane trainer in the world would love to own an Eevee, and Pikachu whines about how it's really a slave to Ash.

Negrek September 20th, 2005 1:01 PM

Meh, I get real sick of the Mewtwo angst. I love Mewtwo, but I can't bear to sit around and read about him sitting around and whining about how his life sucks and he'll never find love and stuff. I mean, if he gets down, he can just go out and squash the people he's mad at.

I've seen a surprisingly high number of charmeleon/charizard angst 'fics because people seem to think that Ash, like, doesn't care about his charizard and stuff, but I have a feeling you weren't thinking of that one.
