here_inmyheadOkay, who remembers the little Amy/Sonic/Shadow OT3 ficlet I did aeons back?
Just recently, I decided to post it on FF.net under "Lucky Threes", just to see how many fangirls's heads exploding hoping to read a love triangle that ended in Sonamy or Shadamy, only to realize both Shadow and Amy were getting in Sonic's pants in the end.
I didn't expect a review so early! :o

Your author's note is the biggest paragraph in this story. That speaks
volumes.
How shallow and unoriginal. You know this is popular in the movies. You
know emotion is far from it. Honestly, I only applaud the humour.
You've managed to grasp it masterfully, without the need of dialogue. Sure,
it was out of character as heck, and nothing is worth that flaw, but
there are positive points.
Little to say, little to write. I'd suggest more description, not only
of Sonic, but of their actions, and most importantly, their thoughts.
What does Shadow and Amy feel throughout this? That intrigues me the
most. Perhaps, this is not a serious attempt at writing, but a perspective
one, indeed. Care to let the audience see that?
Average.
Have a nice, abuse-free day.
Puri strikes back! (Except dammit, I can't get back to my reply. Basically, it goes something like this:)
Heh... BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You realize this is a ficlet, right? That means it's *GASP* SHORT! It's not supposed to be big and detailed! Heck, the fic isn't even SUPPOSED to take itself seriously! Sheesh, talk about missing the point. Next time, I'd pay a little attention hm? P.S. It's hard to take someone named "Shadow Stalkr" seriously. Thank you.
NOW he gives a reply:
Writing jokes on a literary website, how sweet. Choose your words
wisely, my friend, because you can't afford stupidity, can you?
Aww, can you hear Puri crying in a corner?
Oooooooh, burn! But you know, you better watch that mouth yourself. Hypocrisy goes a loooooooooooong way.
Mr. Wise Guy: Hypocrisy stops by your house and asks you out to play. Don't fight
what you cannot kill. Corporate advice.
Puri sighs, deciding to wrap things up:
Really? I'm frightened, Auntie Em. I cower under your superior vocabulary and wisdom of writing. Point is, as you said, Fanfiction.net is a literary site. Does that mean people can post ficlets (short fics) or drabbles (100 words or below) if they want to? Of course! I normally don't, but I put this one up because I thought people might like it. (Or flame bait to make people's heads explode--looks like I've done a good job with you, eh?) Heck, it's the sharing part of me that is satisfied. If I was in this for the reviews and not for the passion of writing, I would have bailed from here long ago.
But back on topic. If you don't like drabbles or ficlets, simple. Leave 'em alone. Wasn't the word count or the scroll bar enough warning? But if you consider them "unworthy" of "literature" under your eyes, it is only an opinion: not fact. You are not the Almighty Scribe of Fiction.
Good night sir. It was nice... arguing with you. XD
Finally, looks like he's shutting up too:
The pleasure is all mine, madam. Though, you did the arguing. I was
just there to watch.
Me: Haha, thanks. XD I was here being amused.
Dunno if he'll respond to that, but eh. I love how sophisticated he thinks he is. XDDD! Actually, he did:
Too much laughter causes wrinkles. Laugh, clown.
Me: Actually, NOT laughing causes wrinkles. Google "Laughter" and see for yourself the benefits to the body. Also, be careful. Especially if you've read Stephen King's IT.
I'm not gonna bother reading his next response. What an effing MORON. He's no fun anymore and I gotta go to bed. D:
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd he's a Byron Nightshade fanboy. He even talks like wannabe version of him, rofl! XDDDDD
Edit: Oh what the heck. Laughter causes expression lines. If I was wrong when I said your "ficlet" was shallow and unoriginal, prove the opposite. If your joke is better than quality fiction - prove it. Hypocrisy calls, you should run or you'll miss her friend - ignorance.
What makes this guy think I owe him "quality fiction"?

Date: 2007-06-12 09:46 am (UTC)Who the Hell is this Byron Nightshade? I always hear about him, but I don't know much about him except his name.
no subject
Date: 2007-06-12 10:10 am (UTC)1. Calls Sonadow a "ludicrous premise" and considers it more impossible and a bigger evil than Mary-Sues.
2. Shreds Amy Rose and calling her an "insta-hostage" while Sally Acorn is holy and wonderful and has no fault. (He even writes entire fics starring Amy, solely because "no one has taken the liberties to write her correctly.
3. Preaches and mourns over SatAM while at the same time, bashes the living hell out of SEGA!Sonic. He also wrote a fic where Amy falls into SatAM world and he takes the opportunity to "compare" SatAM with SEGA!Sonic. Translation? Show how ZOMG WUNDERFUL MASTERPIECE SatAM is while SEGA is a pile of shallow shit with no redeeming qualities that "murdered" SatAM.
4. Wrote "Shadow Falling", aka a fic about Shadow falling from space dying in graphic detail, aka a "tribute to SEGA's failure as a storyteller".
5. Writes "Elegy" aka how he feels when people bash his precious Sally and that OMG SATAM FANDOM IS DYING WHINE WHINE ANGST ANGST and his hypocrisies once again stick out like a sore thumb when he has SEGA!Sonic as the leader of "the mob".
I could go on and on how much I despise him. Basically, look him up on FF.net. If I go to his user page, I'll be too angry to think of anything else but ripping his face off.
I'd love someone else to rant with though.BUT OMG HEZ A GENIUS RITER HOW DAR3 U BASH HIM
He's pretentious, he's snotty, he's a hypocrite, and spouts B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T. I fucking hate him. He's the PRIME example of who I abhor most in SatAM Land.

What? Seriously, I think this fellow was just throwing around words and terms to try and sound boringly impassive.
If I may just jump back here and highlight my lack of dignity and shameless you-plugging. If he desires "quality fiction" and he stumbled across your works in the mundane process, why the hell didn't he read Masquerade?

...I don't read "proper literature" then.
Waitaminute.Damn, I'd hate to get expression lines; it might show I have OHNOES CHARACTER (and on that note, why the hell are they called expression lines? Oh english, I love thee).

Date: 2007-06-12 04:20 pm (UTC)I hate entitlement whores screaming "YOU OWE IT TO ME! WRITE WHAT I WANT! GIMME GIMME GIMME!", but at the same time it's fun to watch them basically act like 5 year olds.

Date: 2007-06-12 09:07 pm (UTC)>( I've written only one Sonic fanfiction ever, and it was my LAST...simply because fandom can't seem to take jokes D:
maybe THAT'S why I clung to Mario so much growing up
