Jun. 12th, 2007 02:49 amOkay, 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"?
