I can understand (Kid Icarus) because I have a rom of it and it kicks my ass, but what's wrong with Metroid? Yeah, Super Metroid is the best of the bunch, but the original is still a good play. Compared to Super Metroid, the original just doesn't hold up. As I've mentioned, game design has come a l...

Existing fanfiction series up for grabs!

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3641597/1/An_Unforeseen_Conseqeuence Go read it. Essentially, the story is about Ino discovering the Kyubi far before anyone expects her to. The conclusion is not yet written. Everyone, I'd love for you to continue this. I won't, not for years. So yeah. I'm practically re...

Had to take a four month break after burning out, trying to write three different fics at the same time. Not a smart thing, I found out. The evil part of my own problem right now is that I started two new fics BECAUSE I couldn't find the energy to work on the other three. So now I've got a lot of e...

Exactly! These aren't professional works (even if some of the better contributors to our community SHOULD be producing such), thus holding them to the same standard is unreasonable. A professional novel typically has had the input and feedback of at least a couple professional editors, each one allo...

Just checked my fansub list and I apparently have all of the GXP episodes (as well as every Tenchi Muyo anime ever produced). I guess that means I don't have a plausible reason not to watch the series. It's a great show anyway. I mean, it takes Tenchi and adds more spaceships and (at one point) a g...

Well, I have a story that, most likely, is permanently on hold. It's not like I don't like the story, but it'll take too much time\effort to fix already posted chapters\find my notebooks\write further. Oh, and I forced myself to finish my current fic, because leaving the final chapter without its s...

Most professionally written novels have no authors notes, especially not at the beginning of every chapter. As I said, my main complaint here is regarding information one might normally list in the Glossary, or notes very much relevant to the basics of the story. Like the aforementioned "check...

Now I have to write more! I thought I had a nice, comfortable lead on you. I thought maybe I could get the edge on you in volume, if not quality. But noooOOooo, you have to keep writing like some foul, thesaurus devouring machine! In all seriousness, this looks fantastic. As Nekomata pointed out, th...

My problem with deleting stories is that there are people out there who enjoy the work... and I personally feel that once I've released a piece of work (be it art, music, writing, a game, whatever) that piece of work stops belonging solely to me. I might think something I've done is absolute garbage...

I'm mainly complaining about notes that SHOULD be paid attention to. For example, it's come up with both Ripples of a Chaotic Pebble AND Galaxy Police Cadet Scramble, where I've posted two chapters within a day of one another. As a courtesy for people who might see that I've updated recently and not...

Author's Notes

This is going to be a rant, folks. Why don't people read them? Especially notes BEFORE the text of the story? Is this some sort of blindness? Are a few extra sentences truly so difficult to read? I'll admit, my own authors notes are sometimes rather pointless. However, they also answer questions, ad...

Putting a story on hiatus

If you write, you know how it is. Sometimes you'll get a case of writer's block and suddenly, you don't want to work on a story any more. So you shelve it for now, promising yourself that you'll go back to it later and finish it. A year passes, and you're working on a different project. You can fly ...

"You must not know about my life then," Brilliant. Just like the line about fairness in the first chapter, that one had me laughing. Congrats. Ranma's reactions are, as always, over the top and very much in character with the sort of narrow mind he has. He's not stupid or especially naive,...

Interesting as always. I'm curious about how the introduction to the GP Academy is going to go, though Ranma's reaction to Seto is dead on. As always, your output and your quality continue to impress. I'm really looking forward to Ranma's interactions with Seiryo. The pink-haired swordsman might be ...

Fair enough, I suppose. Still... The Dam level. *brrr*

Then again, I enjoy Devil May Cry 2, which causes a reaction in Devil May Cry fans much like mine to your enjoyment of the Dam level.
