When my mom tried to give me 'The Talk' i reversed the situation and explained it to her instead...
she took the hint rather quickly

Edit: I dedicate this page claim to 'The Talk'

I'd like to include 'Ashes unto Dust' but I dunno how to write that in katakana.
'Ashes Unto Dust' eh? Hmm....*refers to the phonetic alphabet*

Ashes = A-shi-su/tsu
Unto = U-n-to
Dust = I'm not sure

Well I'm 100% sure, since I could be wrong, but that's just based on my knowledge of the Japanese phonetic alphabet and all

I may know the alphabet, but I don't know how to apply it 100% yet.

Maybe I'll run the words in a japanese dictonary thingy...
Well BabelFish translates 'Ashes unto Dust' into: 塵に灰.
...
I see a 'ni' in there.

Ashes: haigara
Dust: chiri, funjin, obutsu, hokori
...
I miss my translator site that told me the meanings attached to those words. I don't remember its name and I have it bookmarked on my home computer (which I can't use) /sigh

I've started reading Saved by the Bell.
Loving it so far. I'll probably just leave one big over all review though

Add one to the list of death by nosebleed T_T

Maybe I should cut back the funny fanservice bits...\

edit: Question, do any of you writers have someone who normally reviews your stuff, but for some reason they just annoy the heck out of you? I have two people like that now. Don't offer any real advice and just generally make my IQ drop just by reading their stuff *sigh*

Oh phew thought I'd have to get the broom out again and start sweeping corpses off the thread.

@Satashi-sama:
I have those kinds... It irks me when I have a review and it was like some one-lined 'this is good' kind of deal. I had people favorite me but not leave reviews... That is somewhat irking since I like to get feedback *Comment whore*

Don't worry, you're not alone in that respect. I've got this one story, that has 195 alerts, 146 favs, 17 C2s, has been viewed 71496 times, and I've only been reviewed 424 times, for 14 chapters, and I'd say 80% of it is just the general "I like it" kind of review, with the remaining 20% being actual constructive reviews.

But then again...my fic is nearly 2 years old, or it will be come March XD

But then again, Nanoha is still building up it's fanbase here in North America.

The story that has that kind of stats is my hit story in the Evangelion community, Unbreakable Bond, which also happens to be my series of specialty at the moment.

Oh no School of Lyrical is nowhere near that It is last I checked getting near 500 hits with 6 reviews. The fic I was talking about was Hikikomonogo which is in the Yggdra Union section where is far less popular so I suppose it is something that it has so many hits in such a unknown series

Ah... nice. I play myself - whether official or not is up to your imagination - I play four characters - an 80something ME Priest; a lvl 50something Lancer Knight; a lvl 50something Wizard; and a lvl20 Gunslinger.

Basically the number of hits is relative to the popularity of the series, and the number of fictions are there for that particular series. For a Nanoha or series, Satashi is like a god, whereas in say Evangelion, I'm just a skilled and popular writer.

Now statistically speaking, those kinds of value in a really huge series such as Naruto, the numbers wouldn't mean as much, as it would just indicate your an above average writer, but nothing incredibly special. It's when it mounts into the thousands then you know you're starting to become increasingly popular Mind that this is in the larger series such as Naruto, Harry Potter, or Card Captors Sakura.

I hope I'm not one of those. I generally just post about things I like in your story, without offering advice really. >< Normally the only thing wrong I find is just typos. The only "problem" I can think of, is you seem to want to use "was" when "were" should have been used. Not all the time, but I've noticed it through out some chapters and other stories. Now I feel guilty for my reviews.

I don't mind the so much "I liked it" one liners, those are good too. I mean the people who just rant and rant and rant about..nothing. here's an example. I wrote a story about a girl teaching a guy how to kiss. and this is the review I got
Spoiler for this is just sad:


...WTF!? and it's a signed review so I can't get it taken down.

but anyway, as to Nanoha ones. This one really bothers me. (a review on latest SbtB chapter
Spoiler for .....:


I just hate being talked to like I'm in some military camp (every review is like that). And the first review I got from him I thought "hey a military guy?" So I checked his profile and it seems to be a young teen who likes First person shooters. I messaged him and asked not to be given reviews like that ( my dad is a retired marine. ) because it kinda offended me. Well, he's still going strong. I'm happy he likes my stories, I really am... but man, can he just be a little better on respecting my wishes or offering some advice that doesn't sound like a drill sergeant?


And no, the people here are great. Specially you riddly ^^

Wtf @ the life story review. That was more information than anyone wanted to know, I'm sure. And I'm glad my reviews aren't in the failure category. Not necessarily productive, but I do like to express my support towards your stories. I'll try to throw in some advice from now on.
