UGHHHHH!!!!!! How do you get some many fans when no one reads my fic!!
Some of these fans are people who read this story earlier when it was slightly different, before Legacy reworked it. Why is nobody reading YOUR fic? Because, you hardly ever update your story, and while you have potential, you don't take anyone's advice on how to be better, throwing a tantrum everytime someone criticizes you about your work. The ONLY WAY you can be a better writer, which is what you want, right? is to take their advice, apply it to your story, and learn from it. which you are NOT doing doing at all!Quote:

I had a villain appear out of nowhere with no explanation whatsoever once. Over the year, with lots of practice and advice, I've slowly gotten better in my writing, and while I still consider myself an "amateur" fiction writer, I know for a fact that I'm a LOT better than I was several years ago, because I made an actual effort to be better in my writing.
That's what you need to do to become a better writer! Take peoples advice, use it, and make an effort to tell an actual story instead of just one paragraph or a few lines of script. People will be willing to read your story, if you actually work on it.
*sigh* But, you won't listen to me. You obviously never listen to anybody. You'll call me "mean" and "jerkish", and you won't take my advice, nor anyone elses. And if you don't take our advice, you won't become better. If you don't become better, you'll keep getting criticism, and nobody will read your fic. Sure, everyone always has their first failure, but, if they learn from it, they can make sure to fix it next time and try harder for their next story.
But, I've probably worn out your short attention span already. You probably looked at the first paragraph and said, "you're mean!" and turned away without reading the rest. Why do I even bother telling you this, when you won't listen to a word we say?
Ok I get that legacy is better than me but you don't have to keep saying stuff in a mean way besides legacy already told you to stop being mean and saying thing like go away.
Sorry.
This was written before Legacy said that. I'm not sayin' you're bad, you just need practice. That's all. Seriously, I'm sorry about what I said earlier. I was just frustrated.
Hey guys, as much as I love the posts on my fic, let's keep the discussion about the story :)
*nods* Right!
Hmmm... that exploding Silph Co. building wouldn't have a connection to a certain other building exploding on a certain island, would it?
What do you mean?Quote:

Welcome. Though, now that I think about it. Maybe he's actually referring to the Burned Mansion on Cinnibar Island?
Haha, either way, the Silph facility explosion does not have any direct correlation to anything in the canon universe. Aside from several subtle odes to the canon world here and there that the attentive reader may or may not notice, Pocket Monsters is mostly completely separate from the anime/games/manga.Quote:

Oh well. I tried.
oh, and Booty Warrior? I'm a girl.
Ah, I see. Well, I guess you weren't kidding when you said it's going to be all-new. I am impressed, and now further intrigued at this building explosion.Quote:

Oh, dear me. I apologize. I'd seen your gender icon before, but I'd forgotten to internalize it. My bad. ^^;Quote:
