URPG Stories Chat and Feedback

Picking up on Alaska's post: Pichuboy said he would grade my story, but he hasn't. It's been over a week, I've been asking him to do it via VM. Can someone else grade my story? I'm starting to lose interest in this game.

My story is here.

PichuBoy's currently in Rome, so you're going to have to be patient -- unless you really really want a new grader, in which case you would usually have to check with PichuBoy to see if that's okay. But even still, you have to be patient with grades -- not all of them take under a week, although we're sort of trying to aim that way. People do have lives and other things to do, y'know.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but the thing I'd suggest most would be to wait. I'm sure you can survive a while without your Poochyena (which is available in the mart anyway).

Adding to Buoy's comment, a lot of people who do things like Grading have a lot of other things going on irl. School, work, holidays, vacation...even shorter stories can take several days to get Graded when you don't have to time to sit and work on it. Heck I waited well over a week for a story not even 13k characters long to get Graded.

Real-life stuff is more important than online stuff, so don't take it personally if it seems your stories are taking a long time to get Graded. It'll be gotten to eventually, just gotta have some patience and give people to get their stuff in order is all.

Speaking of stories and waiting, I'm afraid how long the "all-Simples" story I'm planning will take to get Graded once it's done >_>. I mean it won't be THAT long, but still...

Well, Montecatini actually, BUT OKAY.

@Yeah, Buoy and T_T pretty much covered everything. I'm sorry I'm taking so long, but with my trip to Italy combined with school, I claimed your story in a moment of insanity. x.x I'm in my school break now, so I promise you I will get it done within 24 hours.

:3 I can use a story pass to knock it down to 268000 characters, but I'm not sure how many characters I'll actually net. But if I can get even half those that's still about 26 Mon. That's still quite a few Pokemon and lots of money for evolving them :3.

I usually scan these for stories, but I tend to only grab those over 30k, but if you have 20k and want a grade just drop me a message.

EDIT: WHY WON'T BMG LET ME MENTION YOU KAT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Sounds good! Let me know where you post it (perhaps in the same story thread, so it's all together, if you want).

I DON'T KNOW ;-; BMG must not like me, is all.

Originally it was going for two Pawniard, one Riolu, and one Sewaddle. Ataro graded it, gave me one Pawniard and one Sewaddle, and then told me all the things I'd need to fix to get the other two Pokemon. I ended up doing them, except I didn't take the Sewaddle because I ended up getting rid of the plot point that involved it. The cherry on the cake was that once I had rewritten it, both Ataro and me liked the original version better than the rewritten one xD

So yeah, I didn't put it up cos it didn't seem suitable for what Kat wants. But good call Winter, might as well offer it in case it's useful in any way.

This looks pretty good! Yeah, the captures are all over the place, but I think this would be a good references for authors who would like to try for multiple captures. (And that even the best of stories have their faults.) You and Ataro did a good job on summarizing the faults and fixes, too, which is great.

Next time one of you guys are on you should IM me or Facebook IM me if I have you there :3 I can never find you guys anymore...

May I ask for a grader for my story?

SOMEONE GRADE THIS ALREADY, I'VE BEEN WAITING SINCE JANUARY!!!!!!

Um, can I make a fanfic of an existing storyline/include Pokémon in it or would that count towards plagiarism?

If it matters, the storyline in question is the plot behind Magic: The Gathering's set: Innistrad.

Fanfics are acceptable -- it's not plagiarism if you follow the basic storyline, I think. Kai-Mei wrote a story for two Rotom or something that pretty much was The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.

I think adaptations are really neat. Just be sure to include credit to where the idea came from really. It's fun to see other stories applied to the Pokemon realm.

I did a crossover with Hellsing :3.

You can use whatever you want for your stories, but like Winter said, make sure you credit the original source/author.
