Granted, it's a pretty obscure pairing (perfectly legitimate, but obscure). I feel kind of awesome now for inventing my own pairing.

You should invent an Internet Meme, you'll feel even more awesome. :3

It seems we're deviating...

I've got no interest in shipping or naming them (unless we're talking about Dragonairshipping) so unfortunately I can't partake in your devious conversation, but I can remind Txt that the Primal Dialga egg is ready to hatch.

Quick question... besides the Poetry section, is there a section for writing that isn't Pokemon or fan-fic related? A section for short story writing maybe? And do you ever hold writing contests here? :x

Right now we are working on an awards system for stories that will be awarded at the beginning of the year for fictionals that where written on in the previous year. (wow what a tongue twister)

Short stories go in the main form; Just select the "[Other]" prefix for non-Pokemon related stories when creating the thread.

Gold and Silver came out way before Rule 34 was instated.

There was porn of Gilgamesh when it first came out. Rule 34 was around ages ago, floating around nameless. It just became official with the Internet.

Anyway, I don't trust myself to post in the FFOTY thread yet because I'm feeling quite sick actually. I'm not sure what my overheated brain might screw up in a serious discussion thread. Lighthearted threads where I don't actually need to think are fine though. XD... Therefore, expect me to do something about the thread in a few days. JSYK and don't blame me for shirking my responsibilities. :P

It must be from the snow... Rapid temperature change and all that...

Back to business,
Do you prefer snarky, accurate, borderline-insulting, quality reviews, or do you prefer short(not one-liner or Spam), praising, exxagerative reviews? Assuming you could only choose one of either.

As long as the review is long and substantial, I don't care if they insult me or my works. If you really can find nothing wrong with a work, at least go ahead and say "I can find nothing wrong with this fic" or something so that it doesn't seem like a one-liner!

I'll take whatever I can get. =P

Same as Griff; I'll take whatever I can get right now. Just knowing someone out there takes the time to read something I wrote and give a quality review is just awesome, though. I am lot more confident in my writing to take snarky reviews than I was maybe two years ago. As long as I get something from it, I will be thankful I received it.

One liners are just blah. They give you nothing to work on or they don't even say what they liked about your fic.

Guys, I don't think you read the whole question. 'Assuming you could choose one of either' does not leave room for "I want both". They're pretty much asking if you'd rather have lots of honest, but potentially hostile, reviews or lots of short glorifying ones if you could only choose one.

I got the question; the "I'll take whatever I can get" was just an out-of-topic tidbit. xD But for reasons explained in the post, yeah, I'll take the hostile, honest review over the one-liner ones anytime.

I like to get what I give, so snarky, accurate and borderline insulting it is. ^_^

irdc

But snarky reviews means that I can (and will if I feel like being an ass [and watch me get reported for ~*~swearing~*~]) give snarky replies back. (Take that capitalization rule and shove it!) Short reviews mean I might actually have to do mod work, or possibly chase down people to go "Hello, what did you like about my fic? Hello? Hello, taste?"

I think my answer is "I'm not going to get either. :("

But really, idc. It's like, quality reviews will tell me what's good and bad about my fic in specifics so I could improve my writing if I so choose. Shorter reviews that just praise and don't mention specifics, and I'm also going to assume are "full of wrong wrong WRONG information" since the quality fics were described as accurate, don't really tell me what worked in my fic so I could use more of it. But they stroke my already large ego, so...

I'd think if I had to choose, I'll take choice C, and flee to never post my fics anywhere.

Give me some examples and I'll decide from there. I'm bitter and cynical (Sorry, Coco) and am probably making this worse than it needs to be.

Now that would be funny... hmmm

If you character(s) was in the Winter Olympics, what sport would the participate in and why?

Running a Ponzi scheme to scam all of the participants and spectators out of millions of dollars

Figure skating would be the one sport that's likely to cause the least serious injury which is an important consideration to my character. Not that Lisa would be any good at it, but if she were forced at gunpoint to participate in the Olympics...

Least serious injury? Have you never seen Blades of Glory? Do the words 'Iron Lotus' mean anything to you? XDDD

I can see Anti doing . . . well, pretty much anything. She's good like that. And that's because she's a robot, not because she's a Mary Sue.

Which she may well be. I don't know.

How the hell did I get here?

Well seeing as I am here, I want your opinion!
I decided to write a (possibly) short story title Harris while The Upside of Love is on hold.

Spoiler:

I've often questioned my own sanity.
After all, my life seems like a dream mostly. A dream turned nightmare.

Sure, I may seem like the typical seventeen year old, but do normal seventeen year olds watch their mother do drugs? Or have witnessed their sister get hit be a car? I didn't think so. And I know my life does sound somewhat weird, I'll explain it in detail for you.

My name is Harris Mitchell, I was born August 23, 1992. I had two sisters, Jess who is twenty and Ruby, who was fourteen. My parents are Liz and Rob, a nurse and mailman, respectively. My family was never rich; we were often on the 'poor' side of things. I attended Goldman High, average school, well for what my parents could afford. I work part time at a butcher. Horrid place, I only do it to bring in some extra money. My sister Jess is studying to become a primary school teacher. We always knew she'd work with children, growing up she loved to take care of Ruby.

Ruby, the baby of the family. Adored by the entire family, everybody always saw her magnificence. She had the most beautify black hair. One day when she was running home, some pervert tried to force her in his car. She was petrified and sprinted, she just ran forward. She ran straight into the path of an on-coming 4WD.

Her funeral was two days after the accident. The whole family was there, all wearing black with a tissue in their hands. I stood by the door, afraid to get any closer in case Ruby got up and stared a hole in me. That's when Liz resorted to drugs; it was her release, her way of dealing with the pain.
Jess moved out and in with her boyfriend Corey, Rob started drinking, I turned to my friends Jubes and Sofia and Liz found drugs. My friends are always there for me, Jubes' real name is Xian, but we call her Jubilee, making fun of the fact that she dresses like the comic book character.

Sofia enjoys reading, she probably only enjoys boys more. She has had thee boyfriends, Greg, Tony and Alex. All complete brains. Sofia has that effect, she'll draw the intelligent people to her and they will get along perfectly. She is essentially the smartest person I have ever met.

Oh, I should have mentioned, I'm gay. Openly too, there are a few openly gay students at my school and surprisingly none of us get harassed. I've never dated anyone before, never felt attracted to someone so much that I wanted to.

Am I even allowed to do such a thing?

Honest comments please?

 

[Feign]

(If you wanted to, you could have made this a separate post, in this particular forum ;) )

Perhaps a bit short if was supposed to be a one shot (as in one post, or one chapter).

Otherwise, it's a good and consistent recount or retelling of your character.

Small mistakes only, one being:

I turned to my friends Jubes and Sofia and Liz found drugs

You already mentioned Liz was on drugs ;)

However, you can also get away with it (and even informal speech), if your character were writing in a diary.

I'm guessing I know the rules to answering questions, please don't hate me!!

Well, Cassandra would probably go for figure skating--pretty, graceful, expressive. Alyssa would go for something fun and challenging, like snowboarding. Belle would probably do something reckless with lots of speed--speed skating, or possibly snowboarding with Alyssa.

Phaiel: Nothing, since he hates snow and water...
Kana: Snowboarding most likely. Also, she can't give a damn about figure-skating. :P

We need something new besides bold-topics...
