Fanfics Review / General Discussion Thread

[kuro808]

My best bet would be Risa because of her reactions but Sayu can also be grouped into there

As for intimidation, I don't know you come off as all right, I have no problem, even though I do want to apologize for something i said earlier and by no means I should have said that as it was supposed to be but we can bury that hatchet, unless the others you do talk to give off a different vibe to them.  Anyways, good luck in writing your fic

[rndmnwierd]

^^ SAYU!! That could just be because I always kind of think of her as crazy since writing B&B.

AM I INTIMIDATING?

It's that BoA avatar, I SWEAR!  >_______>

And your signature? 15,000 words for a chapter? You serious? That's, like, more writing than some people do in a lifetime! =________= and the "muahahaha" that follows doesn't help much

Naaaaaaah, Essy's not intimidating. Not really. 'Coz this is very true:

How on earth can one be intimidating on the Internet?

Seconded! How is it possible to be intimidating on the Internet? Annoying's easy, but intimidating... :/ not really. I initially found grac more 'intimidating' than you (in the  way, not xDDDD I love you grac, you and your massively amusing posts ).

But hmmm... thinking about it, it might be because:

- It's so obvious you're serious about your craft (and you're good at it), and some people may find that intimidating? They might feel like they can't be sloppy with their posts if they want to visit your thread. Or even sit next to you (post-wise, of course xD).
- You're like a robot with a thesaurus installed. Not my words, I swear!
- A lot of our readers here are ESL? Your writing and your posts aren't as accessible as say, SarangAi's (she's drawn out how many lurkers now? O.o the majority of them appearing ESL...)
- You're not openly fangirly. I think openly fangirly is quite a bit more approachable. E.g. I approached ropychan right away.  ... I believe openly fangirly entails generous amounts of spazzing, capslocking (of the excited kind) and living through emoticons... xDDD

Though the regular crew (rndy, Sukoshi, Bee, ropy and you too grac) have no fear wherever you guys go, so that's alright.

How Bee lives life:::

it must feel like watching Ai-chan and Miki talking when you and rokun go at it/appear

NANI? 

Why have you likened rokun to Miki? (I was thinking Gaki-san. Make him twitch. =P). I'm curious. 

YES!!! So much so you don't even return my calls no mo'!!

WHAT THE HELL??

dai, you are so random! 

But anyway, now I want to write a story about a psycho with BPD. But I don't want to make Ai the main character because she's not like that. Any suggestions?

ANOTHER story?  You have a few just hanging there, ya know...  ahhhh well, as long as you're writing I guess 

Hmmm... I'd say Sayu too. She certainly has the character to fill such shoes, and she definitely needs more leading roles around here. >____________<

[rokun]

*twitch*


(edited for more appropriate monkey)

[writerjunkie]

Just because I want to be different than everyone here with the answer and because she's my favorite: Eri!!

Why the hell not? Underneath all that idiotic happiness...is something deeper I'm sure.

I also think that since Eri started off as a very introverted person and still sort of has that she thinks a lot about many things some topics and thoughts might not be important others might be very deep. She even said before when she was younger she was jealous of people who spoke their mind. That can be something to mess with. Just how jealous was she? Those are my reasons why! I'm sure others might not believe it.

[rndmnwierd]

Why have you likened rokun to Miki? (I was thinking Gaki-san. Make him twitch. =P). I'm curious.

Well, Gaki just doesn't fit. (Though I had to pause for a second, because I almost went with that description.) And Miki's a suitably intimidating Senpai, don'tcha think.  The more I thought about it, the more Miki seemed to fit.

And your signature? 15,000 words for a chapter? You serious? That's, like, more writing than some people do in a lifetime! =________= and the "muahahaha" that follows doesn't help much

That was for AA. That takes days of work. And no, most people don't write that much.

- A lot of our readers here are ESL? Your writing and your posts aren't as accessible as say, SarangAi's (she's drawn out how many lurkers now? O.o the majority of them appearing ESL...)

It took me a moment to figure out what ESL was. Then I realized what it meant. Hey I'm ESL too! Doesn't stop me from writing like I fell out of War and Peace.

- You're not openly fangirly. I think openly fangirly is quite a bit more approachable. E.g. I approached ropychan right away.  ... I believe openly fangirly entails generous amounts of spazzing, capslocking (of the excited kind) and living through emoticons... xDDD

Ah yeah, not openly fangirly. I fangirl a lot on AIM, just ask any of those who speak with me there. Once I start I don't stop. On forums I tend to be more serious, though that's because I'm posting stories most of the time so that's just the way it goes? I'm too lazy to spam lots of emoticons except for what's easily on hand. Like or


Also, most people seem to prefer Sayu. We'll see. I already have another story in the works that has Sayu as psycho. Hm. This is a different kind of psycho. I shall have to meditate on this. So don't hold your breath waiting. I rarely post another story unless I feel strongly urged to put it up.

AM I INTIMIDATING?


Please reply and try to explain your reasons why.

LOL!!! you already know my answer to that right?   

its basically everything Beecubed said except for the signature thingy because i find that one really amusing..

or maybe you're not really intimidating and its just my lack of self-confidence that makes me think that you are.. (did i just indirectly said its not you its me?.. GAH! am i making sense? )

EDIT: here is the best(?) explanation i can give you.. Shakespeare is a great writer a lot of people knows that and appreciates him greatly but once you ask them about what he/she thinks about his writing only a select few can give a comprehensive comment about his work and the rest just feels inadequate to give a comment at all.. i'm inadequate and you are Shakespeare  ..   

[Estrea]

^How the hell am I Shakespeare? Lol I get you, but really, I'm not that good. I've seen so many other fanfic authors who are better than me, so I know better than to pretend to be good. The only strong point I have is my command of the English language. Everything else needs a lot more work. Except maybe the angst. I do angst far too well.

[Sukoshi]

@mmsuki: Shakespeare?! UGH. Why must you bring up Shakespeare?!  Don't give Tea-chan any ideas!   

Okay, I'm really not scared of Shakespeare, nor do I hate his works but it's not something I enjoy....we can blame this on me having to read Shakespeare out loud on many occasions...darn University Lit class....Stage Play watching, Yes!  Text format, no no!  but anywhoo... if you, Tea-chan, start writing like the man, I'm gonna have to disown you for the duration of that story  

oh and now to backtrack....Tea-chan, I think the people that are truly intimidated by you aren't going to answer that question    Why? cause they are too intimidated to   I think the reason is simple really.  People tend to want to reciprocate awesomeness with awesomeness.  Like if they read something awesome, they feel like their comment should be awesome too.  In order to be worthy enough of your time...in order to show their level of appreciation.  Only problem is when people feel like they can't come up with something as good, they get scared and run away 

Now for your psycho.... yes, I'm in the Sayu camp too.  She's kind of the fun, devilish, psycho.  Hmm..Reina would fit in the same category...probably.... maybe a little less on the fun, more on the devilish, and a lot more on the crazy

Eri would make more of a scary psycho 
Aika and Gaki are too normal
Your new favourite, Riho, would probably work too.  There's just something so disturbing about being too perfect   lol but let's just pretend I didn't mention this, I'm not ready to read 9th gen yet

[mmsuki]

^
lol!!that is the last thing i want happening! i swear if she starts writing like Shakespeare it will be the death of me, for my brain is gonna start hemorrhaging 

^How the hell am I Shakespeare? 

you are Shakespeare because i feel like i need to call my World Lit. Professor to discuss extensively the fics you have written together with rokun's for me to fully understand it.. its a class that i would really enjoy attending..

so I know better than to pretend to be good. 

you don't have to pretend because you truly are good.. one of the best even.. 

as for the psycho thing the first person that came into my mind is Ishikawa Rika.. why do i suddenly feel the urge to hide from Beecubed

[Estrea]

@Sushi: I will get you to read 9th gen fic, I swear. I've already converted quite a few people. And I highly doubt I'm going to write like Shakespeare any time soon. You have my full permission to clobber me if I ever write like Shakespeare (that is not for a parody. Parodies are always ok )

@mmsuki: Maybe rokun and I should hold classes using our fics as material. Hm. That would be an interesting class. Oh and I think Bee would appreciate the idea of psycho Rika...now that gives me ideas... 

[gracula]

Psycho Rika. I might give up a second-born for that. Probably someone else's second-born I was promised for something else.

What's wrong with Shakespeare? A well placed "forsooth" is excellent manzai material.

[Sukoshi]

Fie on thee!  Hath Madame Gracula no decency?

Thou causeth thy brain to thinketh of Shakespeare and Manzai at the same timeth!  oh abhor! abhor!   

[Estrea]

^For shame! Hast thou no sense of humour? There is no greater boon than for one to stretch one's faculties through the improbable! Forasmuch as I wouldst say, the lady has made a most fascinating proposition!

...

I can thee and thou better when my brain is less fuzzy, I suppose. *just woke up*

[kawaii beam]

WTH? thats all i shall say

[mmsuki]

OMG?! what have i done??    maybe i should have said Tolstoy instead.. 

@mmsuki: Maybe rokun and I should hold classes using our fics as material. Hm. That would be an interesting class. Oh and I think Bee would appreciate the idea of psycho Rika...now that gives me ideas... 

where do i sign-up for that class? it'll be good for my brain and my fandom..  i've got soo much to learn..

i picked Rika 'cause nobody is that perky..  and she had that mini-melt down during a sport's festival, also Eri and Sayu is kinda 'afraid' of her..

[abok]

Guys, let us pray for Japan and all of the people..... Let us hope that they will be able to recover from this disaster..... No matter where or who we are, let's us pray and do everything that we can to help them even if our help is just little....

Let us hope that our beloved idols are fine and unharmed too....

p/s : i am relieved that my friend that studying in Sendai is fine and i pray that he will return to his family safely...

[Comrade]

I have also documented people who are too intimidated to talk to me right at first. Saiks was one (Yuuchan had to literally throw her into chat with me because she was too shy), but now she's totally fine.  

  This.  Cute 8D

(Trust me to go on an archaeological dig to dredge up things written in the ancient past.  Or a few days ago.)

[Sukoshi]

OHnooo~~~~

Heard the news of Ai chan and that Hamlet play?!    Drats!  I blame mmsuki, tea-chan....and myself...(I said Shakespeare stage plays were okay )  What have we done?!
