Markie, I've moved on from our spats in the past. I suggest you do the same, and find something to do that doesn't involve bashing me.

My name is Tricia, and I enjoy reviewing fanfics. I've posted three poems, two of them Fantastic Four related, the other Warriors related. I've also posted a chapter story focusing on my favorite FFer. If those topics interest you, please check out my work.

It's okay when I notice errors made in titles in summaries, but not when I see them in the actual stories? I don't understand that one. (I'm going to clash a whole lot with people who don't consider spelling and grammar to be important.)

Guess I should IM authors ahead of time, and ask them what they think of reviewers correcting spelling/grammar problems. For the authors who want such feedback, I'll review their stories. For the ones who don't, I won't read anything they decide to publish.

Have any of you heard of free verse poetry? I prefer this style, 'cause I don't have to worry about rhyme, meter, or any other poem rules. Thoughts about Tigerstar and I'm still me are both free verse poems.

I haven't read Power of Three yet. I'm almost done with New Prophecy though. I eventually had to quit reading Warriors fanfics, because they had too many spoilers in them.

I don't recall any rules which say I can't correct the writing of fanfic authors. Too many errors will pull me away from the story. (I have the same problem when I come across mistakes in novels.) Maybe the people who don't want to be corrected, should say so in their stories. Oh, and for people who claim they'd be able to come across the errors on their own eventually and fix them, why is it that they don't notice said errors prior to publishing the story? (I've also mentioned my nitpickiness further down on my profile.)

My review style may not be to everyone's liking, but I don't like being told I shouldn't use it. (Reminds me too much of when people would act as if I had no business reviewing, back in the days when I didn't have anything published over here.)

According to my stats, I have been getting hits and visitors for my stories and poetry. What's the difference between a "hit" and a "visitor"?

I wasn't sure what genre A Return to Yancy Street should go in. Decided on family, since people do consider pets to be part of their families. I supplied a link to Shane's story (see below), in case anyone wanted to read what inspired me to write mine. (He did write sequels, but unfortunately they've all dissapeared from the internet.)

Awhile back, one of my friends wrote a story about Ben Grimm and a dog named Griswald. Please visit the following link to read it: http://www.captaincomics.us/forums/index.php?topic=3420.msg44102#msg44102

He later let me write a new story about Ben's dog. I've been re-typing the chapters on Word, then posting them in this website. (It was orignally written before the movie got green-lit. That's why I placed "A Return to Yancy Street" in the Fantastic Four comics section.)

Hmmm, I thought more people would enjoy reading my tale about Ben and Griswald. I had fun writing it awhile back, and polished up my work a little when posting it here.

I doubt I'll ever do a story about the entire FF. I don't know how to write Reed.

My Johnny Storm-centric one-shot is complete! It's about a certain NASA incident, but told through Johnny's POV. Does it match any with Ben's POV (which was mentioned in the film)? You'll have to read to find out!

I read a Warriors Story once, where Bluestar wondered why Firestar seemed sad when Tigerstar died. I wish I had bookmarked that story, 'cause it served as inspiration for my Warrors poem. It has info. nuggets from the first 6 books.

I took two Poetry classes at the UW, and the 2005 FF film served as inspiration in both classes. However, since this site doesn't accept poems about real people, I wasn't able to post my monologue. Ben Grimm's Change is a Long Line poem. My original draft had multiple stanzas. My teacher disapproved of me using a movie as a poetry topic, and all she could suggest for a revision (some of my fellow students also suggested this) was to put the lines into a single block format. (I loved it when a fellow FF fan student recognized the scenes I described; The FF logos drawn on the rough drafts gave those students away.)

I can be a nitpicky reviewer at times, focusing on any spelling errors or confusions that may show up. I'll sometimes attempt to balance such comments with my thoughts on the story itself.

I've heard that summary writing isn't an easy process. That may be true, but it woud be nice if more people could attempt to do one, instead of ranting that their summaries suck.

Whenever I visit the anime category, I usually read Yu-Gi-Oh! stories. I prefer the original Japanese names over the dubbed ones.

(I still consider spelling an important thing, but was surprised that I could read the above passage. I found it in XxGoddess AthenaxX's profile.)
