Re: Tomorrow's Doom ~ Up: 11/06/13 ~ C.42 - Unexpected Layov

Just want to say I'm loving your story, found it late last night, just got up to date late tonight. Took a good deal of my day, but I regret nothing! Look forward to chapter 43, even if it takes a while I'm sure it will be worth it. Well, thank you and welcome to the forums--seems you lurked for a ...

Re: Shizune and Misha go shopping

You need a few things; namely a thesaurus to expand your vocabulary, a few thousand hours spent reading from established authors (I don't mean fan fiction, either), and, if you intend to write fan fiction, a better understanding of the characters involved. Good: - No glaring spelling errors. This co...

Re: Iwanako: Mean Time to Breakdown {updated 11/20/2013}

I've seen TV Tropes mentioned across the boards fairly often. I don't know why it surprises me; I guess I just never imagined the site being a gateway to fanfics, of all things. It's a good place to start , no doubt. It's far from a comprehensive list of even the good fanfics on this board, let alo...

Re: Iwanako: Mean Time to Breakdown {updated 11/20/2013}

Fuck it, I sold out. I just tried to do it in the absolute least tacky way possible. Under normal circumstances I'd never have done this, but... screw it, this is my Christmas present to myself. Let the experiment commence. Honestly, I don't know enough about tropes in general to accurately define ...

Re: Iwanako: Mean Time to Breakdown {updated 11/20/2013}

Have you considered setting up a basic one yourself? Posting a recommendation for your own fic there would be tooting your own horn, but I personally don't see setting up a page for a fic that was already recommended by others in the same light, even if the fic happens to be your own. It would stil...

Re: Picking up the Pieces- A H&K Xmas Special (Updated 12/10

The editor in me wants to point out flaws as a preface for offering congratulatory platitudes, but there weren't any worthy of note this time, so, job well done! Still, I do have one issue, though it seems petty; I'm not sure where this story is going. The timing and subject matter thus far indicate...

Re: Cardioblivion

And, though the epiphany I had on Saturday—and the resolution that accompanied it—are already well on their way to wearing out their welcome, they’ve still affected the way I approach a situation that I’m otherwise familiar with. Those em dashes might work better as commas. Commas? There's absolute...

Re: Cardioblivion

Since I'm starting back a ways, I'm gonna toss in some editorial remarks with chapter headings. Not So Cute: Was this time simply a misadventure, or does it forebode a more frequent series of misfortunes? Forebode sticks out for me here in that I think foreshadow might be more appropriate... And, th...

Re: Tomorrow's Doom ~ Up: 11/06/13 ~ C.42 - Unexpected Layov

I'm kind of curious about where you decide to split the chapters, though. I notice that it doesn't always occur at a narrative break. If you mean the separate parts within a chapter, those splits are based on word count. Each section of this last chapter was 2500-2800 words in length. It's just to ...

We shall see.
Considering he's the one who was reading on his iPad, I think we're in the clear.

Re: Tomorrow's Doom ~ Up: 11/06/13 ~ C.42 - Unexpected Layov

Phew. Just copy-pasted this all into a notepad on my iPad to read on my way back home. Hopefully 6 pure hours of nothing but reading'll let me catch up. I'm on chapter 30a atm. And I saw how big the chapters were. WISH ME LUCK. Does the site not work on your iPad, or are you just predicting areas w...
