An-chan

If I were you then I would get the shortest out of the way first. I just checked how many pages my old fic is and discovered that, although it is over fifty pages, it's actually eighty-four pages long! I knew I had written a lot, but holy crap!

I also get inspiration while walking around. I think it might be because your body is able to do the task of walking from point 'a' to point 'b' without too much brainpower involved, so your mind is free to wander as it pleases. Therefore, random thoughts pop in your head and give you amazing ideas for fictions (usually). That's also my theory on the shower thing.

I know all about losing original fiction. I had actually been working on something I hoped to publish earlier this year, around Febuary I believe, and was getting close to page sixty when my old computer decided to die. It wasn't a hardware issue, surprisingly. My OS just suddenly deleted a key component and wouldn't even boot without it. I thought just reinstalling the OS to a new partition of the hard disk would solve all of my problems, but alas it did not work. I ended up deleting everything on the damned thing and lost that fiction, along with over five gigabytes of nonreplacable music and a game I had been developing for over a year. When that happened my face went from :D to :| to :o to :( to ;_;

I have since begun rewriting my original fiction, but the game... that's lost forever. It's so hard to even begin development on a game, let alone try to recreate it. Besides, a lot of the things I had put into it had taken months to iron out, and I have no idea how to do that again without going through the entire process again. Either way, it will never be the same.

And your opinion is interesting because you seem to have good insight into plot, which I consider to be as important, if not even more so at times, than grammar.

Apparently I get insane amounts of inspiration in the shower. When I was taking one today, I suddenly had this irresistable urge to finish chapter 11 of the first fic I had posted here. Maybe I should take like five showers a day from now on...

Oh, btw, you should read that and tell me what you think. Your opinion on fictions is usually quite interesting.

Time is not an issue, An-chan. It will give me some more time to develop the story so you can have something better to draw :D --- Just let me know when you start drawing. Oh and happy very early Xmas!

XDD W-wow.

Hehe, I'm the opposite-ish. I was never very good in Spanish. At most, I got Cs on average; then again, I hated that language. No offense to any Spanish speakers who may read this, but it is not my favorite language. I was required to learn it, and my folks wouldn't let me take French... ironic, since I have a French speaking character. Anyway.

Los Angelos? Dangit, I'm only a few hours from there, which means I don't visit LA often. Ah well; if I meet him, I'll tell him you said "hello".... and laugh to myself if I have the wrong Finnish man. *slapped*

And I make that mistake all the time. I watch this show on and off on YouTube called Mock the Week, where these comedians play games and poke fun in a comedy-show manner at current events. The host on there is Irish, and one of the recurring members is Scottish. Much to the dislike of a friend of mine who lives in Britain, I used to mix up Scottish and Irish accents a lot. Now, I don't do it so often. British on the other hand... according to that same friend, there are various British accents, as is the case with American ones. Thanks to my being American and all, I can't pick those differences out easily when listening to British people speak.

Oh well! I still like those accents! *nodnods*

Oh really? Where in California, if I may ask? ... That'd be odd if we knew each other, now that I think on that... oo Ahem, anyway! Why Texas? Because I lived there almost all of my life (so far), and I love it. The humity wasn't that great, but it wasn't dusty or icky... They can make a mean chilli in Texas, and we freaking know how to barbarque! *nodnods*

xD I wish I had an Irish accent-- I apparently still have my southern accent from living in Texas, but it's not as notciable now as it once was. I have no idea why you're telling me this either; maybe it's because my thicker accent for Father Anderson sounds more Scottish than Irish... ? Darn my being an American! It all sounds different to me, but I can't mimic it in my writing. Phooey.

And I have that issue with the Spanish language; as part of our lessons, we had to listen to people talk and then do worksheets on them. They always spoke so darn fast to me that it all went right over my head as well and left me all "wtf?"ish. D:

Hey! I think we are in a social group together... =]

Hi! I've seen you post around the fan fiction area and I just wanted to say hi, so... hi!

You da Vaporeon again!:D

Ah D*** it--- what a shame! :D One-month windows is closed. Sorry, An-chan, didn't manage to comment your epilogue in time.

Oh great, first Chanseys with chainsaws and now Sentrets with flamethrowers! My week is turning into a hell :D

I don't remember having posted any comment to your fic (shame on ME!!!!!11), so I might do soon if the one-month open thread window hasn't expired. I had commented to you, via PM I think, how it turned out there were several similarities between your Rapidash and Ivysaur and my Rapidash and Ivysaur. And something about a huge conspiracy started by KFC, I think...

Anyways. I liked JttIoJ a lot, it was quite funny to read, partially because of the Pokémon personalities (Rapidash and Pichu are pure win) and partly because of the setting that smartly plays with some clichés. That work of yours is in my fav'ed list.

Hey... at least this will keep me safe from the Sentrets for a while... right? RIGHT??????

I can imagine indeed, for sure. *always had issues when learning Spanish herself; primarily her's was in listening, not reading accents, but still...* It was a pain in the rear.

xD Oh gosh, I read that as "There's also the upside that by reading something upside-down, I also learn to read something like that"-- I kept imagining you on your head, reading my fic. *idiotic moment* Still, that's good that you're slowly understanding it; very good, for sure. Fortunately, I think the extent of my accent-usage will go to the narrator's, a German one, and... my shoddy attempts at Irish (which is simply a slightly altered version of the narrator's, for now). That Irish one ought to be kind of easy, since it's pretty much the same... just a little thicker.

For example... *rambles*
"I can't b'lieve ya just did tha', ya idiot!" -- thinner, narrator's.
"Ah can't b'lieve ya just did tha', ye idiot!" -- thicker, Father Anderson's

Missed your part about where I live, as well; California, USA-- I'd rather be in Texas, however.

Heh, perhaps that would be fair; there's the OVA for Hellsing floating around the 'net somewhere too; I've been meaning to watch it, to see if/how they give some of the characters accents in the English versions. *doesn't know what kind of an accent one of the characters has* That reminds me... you were the one who inquired about accents in my dialogue, right?

Well... *scratches her head* I'm not entirely sure. How about I get around to actually writing, and I'll let you have a look for yourself? That would be easier, for now, since I barely have chapter 2 down (*was planning on writing that over the weekend*). Pfft, and forget zhe Alucard. He's not in this.

*would also be lazy and tell you to look everything up, but that's rude... unless... you wanted to research for yourself in conjuction with her fic...* But still, lemmie see how my explanations go first... when I get there, okey?

Well, I haven't gotten full depth into the Hellsing aspects of it; however, if I did as well describing those parts as I did in my abandoned make of the fic, then yes, non-Hellsing folks should be able to understand it well enough.

:D Oh yay fwiends! *chuckles* I wouldn't mind at all being your friend, An-chan!

Bah, I do that stalkish stuff too. Mostly to see if anyone's been dealing with n00bs in their VMs though, which is always amusing. Unfortunately that doesn't really happen here, but on Serebii... It's great over there for that.

You...you do? You read my posts and know who I am...sort of? :O I feel alive again!

Sure, I shall accept your friend request and ignore any future accidental stalk-ish actions!

I seriously have no idea why the limit was introduced. It happened when I wasn't here. And since no one here knows what happen, I can assume that there wasn't any announcement about it. Which sucks.

But I'll ask around and see what I can find out. Because it annoys me as well. I have to take some of the conversations I had with people to PM because PMs don't have a character limit, I have verbal diarrhea, and so I talk a lot about nothing. XD

Yeah, I don't know. ;_; I first encountered it while I was trying to sex up Astinus. (I think that's why they disabled it! =O)

Thank you for the compliment, by the way. =D The name took me a half an hour to cook up. XD

And yes. ;_; It's all foggy and cold here too. Not quite as depressing, but still gray and dull. *hugs*

Ah, hmm. Well, usually, nature doesn't have an article, so you're good there. World tends to depend on whether you're talking about the one your characters are on or one somewhere randomly in space. Randomly in space would be a world. The one you're on is the world.

As for betaing, at the moment, I've got too much on my plate. ^_^; Maybe wait a week, and I might be free enough to do it.

Actually, I developed her out of a cracky whim. I couldn't possibly use a character that Sueish without attempting to develop her for the sake of my own sanity. XD

It's really not a good month for anyone. Who the hell came up with November? >_>

Good luck, though. *thumbs up* (And with articles, just remember that if the word begins with what sounds like a consonant, use "a." Vowel sounds use "an," and specifics use "the.")
