A brief pointer on what's good to put in an ffnet review and what makes you look like an ass.


Yes. Please do continue. ^^ If you were so original as to write this where it was Vash who did this to Meryl rather than Knives, I will officially put you on my favorites list ^^

Now, that first bit is just fine. It's the last sentence that pisses me off. First off, ducks, like it's any great shakes to be on your favorites list. I suppose I should make that a general "you", since it annoys me when anyone does that. Why do they do that? It seems...really arrogant to me, and a tad manipulative--or an attempt to be so. Reviews are good, reviews are great, but I don't look to them for guidance on how a story is going to go, nor do I think others should. If you don't even have your main plot worked out without help, odds are it's not a very good fic anyway.

Note also: asking to finish someone else's fic, or asking them to finish yours, is also pretty goddamned tacky. Jusy sayin'.

Okay, also? Wanting a warm, caring pacifist to rape one of his friends without believable fic to explain it well (which this particular fic does not have) is not being original. It's being so far off the canon as to make it somewhere near Pluto. Occam's razor, folks. I may think Knives is a virgin, but he is a hell of a lot more likely to end up a rapist than Vash is.

So you don't like a pairing. Fine. So you wish there were more fics that you liked instead of that pairing. Hello, welcome to my world when I joined the fandom. Great. But asking authors you don't know (on multiple occasions) is poor etiquette and makes you look like an ass.

You know, you're really offensive when you do things like this. This is a flame, and yes, I know it's in your own journal, but it's harassment, too! How dare you insult someone for their interpretation of the story! There are a million different interpretations to Adolescence of Utena, and Evangelion; Trigun's just as hard to understand!

Oh, wait. You're the kitty.

Damn straight.

What were we talking about again?

[jaina.livejournal.com]

I don't know, but considering the above comments, it was not about any kind of straight that I can see.

REVENGE OF LESBAIN!

Wow. This is such a good post. ^^ If only you would have used the word "spooge," I would have put it in my memories. ^^

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Spooge! There, now you can add it.

Hey, you still open for drabble requests? I'd love to see what you come up with for VxM. ;) No preference on the angstiness or lack thereof.

[rainjewel.livejournal.com]

*thumbs up*

I am always open for just about anything. Hit me with the basics.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Um um um

Shit, and here I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that. XD *thinks hard like a thinking thing*

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Post-series with angst?

[rainjewel.livejournal.com]

*salutes* I'm on it. Might be a few days though, 'cause my life just hit chaos

[jaina.livejournal.com]

NP, I've totally been there.

[chaosblue.livejournal.com]

I have to worry about the type who gleefuly wants to read rape fic. I also wonder about those who write it, but that's nothing new - I've wondered about you for YEARS. ~_^

Besides. I think it's more likely that Meryl would rape Vash. I doubt *she's* a virgin, and I can easily see Vash being put into a position *snrk* where he wants to say no, says no, but doesn't use the force necessary to extract himself from the situation for fear of causing damage to Meryl.

...

I go now.

Oh, and Knives is SO not a virgin. XD XD XD He likes to get BIZ-AY. Especially with Vash. And incest is OK when it's boys, cuz they can't make X-Files babies when they hump, right?

[scathachdhu.livejournal.com]

I'm sad to say, I can actually see that. She'd be all drunk and trampy, and he wouldn't be able to pull that "I'm passed out" thing he pulled with those hookers, because she wouldn't give up.

As for that last part, I got a review almost like that when I made Knives a virgin in my fic, except she was sure it was Legato. Who is pretty damned X-Files himself, if you ask me.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

I think I know what your next Trigun fic should me.

[scathachdhu.livejournal.com]

"Meryl Stryfe, Bernardelli Super-Tramp"

Or maybe I'll just write an AU where she's a succubus and Vash is her (un)willing prey.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

There's probably a doujinshi with that I've seen worse fic ideas.

[offscreen.livejournal.com]

I'm not even familiar with your fandom and your icon is seriously cracking my shit up.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

I get that a lot. Maybe I should use it as a recruitment technique.

[techno4tomcats.livejournal.com]

Agh, please, internet, stop feeding the crossover plot evil bunnies of my mind!

KTHNX.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

You are strange and disturbing. It's one of your best qualities.

Kidding aside, I figure Knives is a virgin because he'd view the whole mad sex0r thing as something lowly that those animalistic humans do. And then one day he'll have an orgasm and be HORRIFIED in a hot way.

[techno4tomcats.livejournal.com]

------------------------------------------------------------------------



*dies with laughter* That's pretty much the same reason I read it. And incest is only ok when they are HAWT boys.

No? XD.

Aside from that, telling the author to do/write something that totally thorws out the storyline/plot is a big no-no. I mean, if you don't like then....tough. It's fanfiction, no money is being made, no boligation to cater to your wishes/needs.... so frankly Stuff-foo (STFU), ignorant reviewer.

*cough, slinks out of Jaina's LJ*

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Hee, you're welcome here. We may have different pairings in the Trigun fandom, but we read pr0n and smack down badfic for GREAT JUSTICE!...or soemthing like that.

[techno4tomcats.livejournal.com]

Yay..^^!

Different viewpoints of the OTP kind, but we shall fight for Truth Justice and the good fic! Quality pr0n, and death to Mary-sues!

[cosplayallday.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I get annoying reviews like this too. There not really flames, but more like cocky replies. Ex:

I like this story but I wish you would have made it a (insert name of pairing here)fic instead of an (insert name of pairing here).*wink,wink*

Sorry, but this is my story and this is the type of pairing I want to have in it. If you want to see your favorite pairing in a story, gladly write a one yourself. Also writing down body actions such as *wink,wink* doesn't make you seem cute or innocent or whatever emotion you was trying to get across.It just make you seems stupid.
