The cake is a lie. favorite manga: Dragon Knights, HunterxHunter, Ares (technically a manhwa), Hellsing, 1/2 Prince, Fruits Basket, Fullmetal Alchemist, Bakuman, Death Note Things I Hate in Fanfiction (i.e. I’m ranting here so I don’t flame someone—does not apply to all situations) (WARNING: SPOILERS): 1) OMG! Sasuke hates Itachi! He’s the worst person ever and his hair’s stupid and his mom’s stupid and he hurt Naruto and— 2) You know, I don’t like this person/I like this person/I think this person is unimportant/they’re ugly/I need a bad guy for the plot and I like the actual bad guy too much to actually use him like that, so I’m going to take this character right here and rip his/her/its characterization to shreds! Whee! 3) I’m cool and this character is cool and they are now goth. 4) You don’t like my goth character! That makes you a poser! 5) OMG! This person is so great and now everyone loves him/her/it! 6) This is fanfiction and I deserve to spread my creativity! Who are you to say I can’t change someone’s character at the drop of a hat? 7) Plz review! I wont updat unless i get ten reivews! 8) Ew, you’re sick! Sick sick sick! How can you even write this? I know you have warnings posted, but you shouldn’t even have written this! It’s a travesty to the written language! 9) This person doesn’t have brown eyes, but limpid pools of chocolate; no normal lips for this character, just pouty, kissable lips; this individual is no longer skinny with ribs showing, but lithe— 10) “I am the leader’s son/daughter and I want you, my guardian, to stop following me as I can take care of myself since I am of this rank/level and of this age, thank you very much. Now I will proceed to converse with this person right here who is obviously not a spy and is also obviously not going to get information from/kidnap/kill/seduce me. You there—should I also allude to a secret scheme so that the plot can move along quicker?” 11) This character is an OC and totally not a Mary-Sue, despite being pretty and useful and this hot guy/girl right here falls for her. She’s not a Mary-Sue! She’s got issues! A dark past, an abusive mother, and AIDS! Rant now over. Take nothing to heart. Or do. Whichever. Also note that parodies are awesome when done well. Do I contradict myself? "Our noble, brilliant and glorious King Icarus says to you: 'Do whatever the hell you want, assholes!'" ~Chronosian Messenger from Ares by Ryu Kum Chel "Animals don't behave like men," he said. "If they have to fight, they fight; and if they have to kill, they kill. But they don't sit down and set their wits to work to devise ways of spoiling other creatures' lives and hurting them. They have dignity and animality." ~Watership Down by Richard Adams Wouldn’t it have been the nice thing to do, to give his old friends a running start or at least a heads-up? I certainly don’t pretend to be a paragon of civilized virtue, but if a deranged surgeon was after Vince Masuoka, for instance, I like to think I might find a way to drop a hint into casual conversation by the coffee machine. Pass the sugar, please. By the way—there’s a medical maniac after you who wants to lop off all your limbs. Would you like the creamer? ~Dearly Devoted Dexter by Jeff Lindsay "So," Suki interjected, "let me get this right: you want them to stop acting like Aang's parents and become his pimps?" ~A Matter of Honor (Avatar: The Last Airbender fanfiction) by Adridere "Ellie is soft and comfortable like a mother and Sigrid is strong and busy like an aunt—and the professors are good to me. But sometimes . . . I dream about my real mother coming. Often I dream it—that she’s looked and looked for me and at last she’s found me. Do you think it’s wrong to keep dreaming that?” “I am a fox. I live by my nose, by my teeth and feet. By my wits. How can I steal? How can one creature own another—except to eat it? Don’t we all belong to ourselves? Until someone else—someone bigger, faster, hungrier, smarter—catches us? And eats us? I didn’t steal. I hunted. I didn’t murder. I fed. I am accused of being a fox. If that’s a crime, then so is being an owl, or a cat . . . or a spider. Or a girl.” ~Flame from The Old Country by Mordicai Gerstein Pozzo: (Suddenly furious.) Have you not done tormenting me with your accursed time! It's abominable! When! When! One day, is that not enough for you, one day he went dumb, one day I went blind, one day we'll go deaf, one day we were born, one day we shall die, the same day, the same second, is that not enough for you? (Calmer.) They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more. (He jerks the rope.) On! ~Waiting For Godot by Samuel Beckett Evie: Why are all of you speaking English? Vincent: So . . . what now? Ophelia's mind went wandering complete lyrics to "Still Alive" from the game Portal This was a triumph I'm not even angry Go ahead and leave me And believe me I am excerpts from Kino's Journey: Deep in your smile I see the world seeing me Let my desires fly along on a wing "Someone once told me that watching the birds made them want to go on a journey." ~Kino Birds flying in the sky are not always free, though. About the Author: I was the kid who, when asked how much I weighed, inquired whether the person wanted it in pounds or kilograms. I was the kid who didn't accept that a math equation worked--I wanted to know why. I was the kid who, despite doing okay in calculus, did not understand physics word problems well. They killed my brain. I am currently working and in college (with a reading list two miles long in Times New Roman font, size twelve), and they're eating not only my mind but my time, too. My stories will update eventually. I'm not dead yet. (Although if I don't update any of my stories or my profile for at least two years . . . you can assume something happened, be it death or coma or vegetative state or a long vacation with no computer access in the Marianas Trench.) I do not care what a story is about, what the pairings are, etc. If the characters are good (as in, in-character-ish at the very least) and I like the writing style I will read it. If I haven't reviewed your story and you're on my favorite stories list, favorite authors list, author alerts list, or story alerts list it's because I haven't read the most recent chapter(s) yet. I am female. I'm pretty sure the "Turtle Kid" part of my name makes most people think of a male, but I'm female. Yes, really. previous names: Raynin, Turtle Kid abandoned stories: "Oh Well" (Ranma 1/2) Reviews delight me. I don't care how short it is, or if it's constructive or not, or if it eats me. It's still a sweet thing to do. WARNING: I AM A TERRIBLE UPDATER. I am not one of those people who can to school and work and crank out a chapter a week/month. I simply can't. I write and work and rework my chapters and then send it to my beta before finally updating. Not that this means my chapters are amazing, but I do spend time trying to make them good, because I am also not one of those people that words come easily to. Also: I see fanfiction as a fun thing done in my spare time. This means that everything else comes first. I do feel a sense of responsibility, and I do write when I can so that I can update for my readers, but writing fanfiction is at the end of a long list of things I need to do in real life. Thank you for your understanding. I THINK SOMEONE HACKED MY ACCOUNT. I don't know how or why, but I tried to review a story and found out that I'd evidently already reviewed while using bad spelling and no capitals and without remembering having done it. Obviously, it wasn't me. So, if I've reviewed your story without using capitals and such, that's not me, and it should be ignored. | |||||
