Had a sense of deja vu when reading your work. Of course, this is because of the fact that the first chapter was the exact same as that of a previous thread. May I know where should I continue and how is this different from the previous thread.I understand that you have included an explanation that this version of the thread takes into account new developments in the original work. I would like to know what changes are those exactly.
That said, I can read it easily, big fonts, wonderful to read, easy language and I am really impressed! Quite the same as my remarks on the previous thread.
Of course, even my criticism of it remains the same! It appears that every chapter is a reaffirmation of their love for each other. I haven't read it thoroughly but I think there isn't much conflict between them is there apart from the two Lizardmen causing trouble, is there? I would think that living with a blood sucking monster or having an extremely beautiful lady as your partner would present quite a lot of problems that can be further explored.
Thanks for the feedback but I already explained the differences between this and my original fan-fic which is on hiatus. I even wrote 3 new chapters that were not in my original story. I appreciate your feedback but I believe I have explained my story and it's gotten a lot of feedback on fan-fiction. Plus has over 15,000 views as of today.
As for 'conflicts' it's really not my strong suit. Sorry but I really don't know how to write that to well. Maybe in future chapters there might be but for right now it is what it is.
Thanks for the feedback once again :)
I am afraid I did not see it. May I know where is it? If you are referring to the Author's Notes, I have to say that I have only read your one-shot and do not know what you meant by the other story. I presume I have to start from Chapter 2? Chapter 1 appears to be the one-shot that I have read.

Do you guys like this? Should I make more?By all means. I am not good at reading poetry unless they are written by William McGonagall so I will split hairs and ask what it means. Do you mind explaining what the poem is about?

Sorry for the extremely late reply.
I have seen people making love to their cars, I shudder at the thought of seeing people making love to their ships after reading the comics posted at the main page of this website.
Really, which orifice should the appendage be inserted to for a boat?
Welcome back Yuuki. I am not frequenting the forums often as well though I am trying to work on a short story that I will be posting in the forums. People told me it is hard to read or too long.
As for what happened in the past few weeks in Incoherent Babbling, I don't think there is anything much except for a visitation by some banned user using an alternate account.
There was a lot of discussion on how the Valentine Writing Event ought to be held. If you have anything written that has something to do with 'love' or 'fairy tales', feel free to post there.

Something I have always wanted to ask. What is the difference between the Incoherent Babbling and Random Sections?Random (as I see it) is generally for topics that everyone can participate in, and is reasonably well created. IB is for anything else, notably anything that someone wrote in less time than they took to think of it.
Incredibly tempting. I see most of my work fit for Incoherent Babbling but passes off as writing because it is long and it takes a bit of effort. The link below is my entry for the Valentine Event, a spoof of a writing event.

I suppose this goes into the Random Section?

I figured I should let you guys know. I signed up for a lit mag class this semester, and we will be producing our own magazine. We're taking submissions from pretty much everywhere. Want me and like 15 other people to read your stuff and possibly have it published? Go right ahead and submit. Follow this link for all the information you need to know, but to sum it up:- We're accepting both poetry and short stories as well as images
- Submissions shouldn't exceed 2,500 words
- You should also include a cover letter of sorts along with your submission including your name, address and all that stuff
- The deadline is March 24th, I believe. The image in the link says the 31st, but that's a typo
- Submissions should be turned into suisunvalleyreview@gmail.com
- Last but not least, you'll get two free copies of the magazine if your submission is chosen
Now, I'm not gonna lie. The instructor said to expect anywhere between 750-1000 submissions (and I get to experience the joy of reading all of them), but about only 40 of them will make it into the magazine. I don't wanna discourage anyone, but don't be offended if you submit an entry and it doesn't make it in.
I need to login in order to access the link you have provided.

He knows that there is a roleplay by the TheLoneGentleman. He is also interested in the roleplay by the TheLoneGentleman.

He should know that the TheLoneGentleman has come up with a RP. I think he would be interested. I am impressed with the characters and the setting of his made-up universe.

We really should have thought this out through and through before starting the event/contest/whateverthehellitis. Changes made during the submission period can lead to confusion to say the least. As Xnine has said, people have already offered prizes for this thing, so why vote nay and say, "Hey man, take your prizes elsewhere."Chances are they haven't come up with the prizes. I think they would be glad if we did not put pressure on them to come up with those prizes for this event.
I have discussed this with high. I am of the opinion that this event should not require any of the participants to come up with prizes.The whole event is inspired by SolidShark's writing event where anyone who wants to submit an entry is free to do so. If no one wants to join the event, I will come up with mulitple entries and I will have fun with the organiser discussing what we have written. Who knew that there would be so many changes?
I don't want high to lose sleep over this. Wouldn't it be better to leave the event as it is? If sora or FGRaptor wants to come up with their rewards for the entries they enjoyed, let them have the liberty to do so. If some of the contestants want to play Secret Santa, let them do so as well. It is quite similar to my Mudslinging thread where I parodied the entries of some of the contestants. Xenon, Jerry and Grover did not point a gun at my head demanding me to write them. I did so in order to reassure these contestants that I have read their entries and hope they appreciate my attempts to make them laugh. For those who enjoyed the parodies, it was a gift of sorts.
There has been some talk about getting new people to the Writing Section. Some of you may know that I am one of those people who became active in the Writing Section because of the contests. I knew however that I can't import the prizes; I don't think I stood a chance of winning because of the nature of my written work but I joined the Lounge and the Writing Section anyway.
The reason why I did so is because high_time enjoyed what I write and I want to make others feel the same. It is not because of the prizes or the titles.
I elect to keep the event as what high originally set out.

hmm..I'm thinking about it too. if that happens, the prizegivers could all gather up somewhere and discuss about the 'distribution of prizes'piratepad or typewithme could do the job. please send me the link and when to gather right after the contest ends so we could somehow discuss this together.
So, how about to encourage an even distribution of prizes, we set it up like a secret Santa/gift exchange. You are assigned a "Valentine" to get or do something for, like a prize, of a random entrant. The randomization can be assigned on Valentines Day when we have all official submissions and those who participated will receive someone they have to get something or do something for, then you have a week or so to get them their gift. In that time, we can have polling for a winning submission if sora is set upon writing an epic VN of a winning entry.
Thoughts?
Oh dear. How on earth would Sora make a visual novel out of my entry?
I am personally fine if the contest is prize free. It would not bother those who have to come up with the prizes. The reason why I joined the contest is because I want a few persons to read what I write. I decided to join this community not because of the prizes but because there are one or two persons who enjoy what I write from these contests.
If you want me to come up with a prize, the best I can do is write a parody.

I used the photos of the fictional minister Jim Hacker, portrayed by Paul Eddington in the Mudslinging ThreadI don't see a picture in that thread.
Some glitch in the system. Whenever I post a topic with a picture, it disappears overnight. Your threads don't have that problem though.

Recommending this thing. Age of Anarchy by d.Why something of this caliber has effectively one active reader, me, is beyond me. I guess it speaks about how sorry this forum is.
Mibuchiha, let me paraphrase Xenon's advice to you. If you have nothing good to say, do keep it to yourself. If I were you, I would delete the second paragraph.
I find to hard to read the Age of Anarchy for reasons I have stated in his thread and indeed most of d's work have this characteristic. It has something to do with his intentional refusal to set out clearly what is going on and who the characters are. Instead the technique he employs is to immerse the reader in his universe through descriptions which some readers can appreciate.
Yet, I am of the opinion that if the characters and the setting are not clearly established, I am not in the position to appreciate what he writes. I needed to read the story again and again to figure out what is happening. I have to commend d for coming up with this novel nonetheless. I tried writing 1000 words a day and I found it fun but hard.
These are my recommendations:
xninebreaker already recommended CoffeePrince's and El Chacal's entries which I liked as I understood what was going on.
high_time's parodies of AssasinZAssasin's and xninebreaker's contest entries, placed in the two spoilers below. It satirises the contents of those entries briefly and concisely. What efficiency! I had my spirits lifted after reading the both of them.

I also recommend HumbugsAssociate's entry and the story he has written for the user The Randomness. I am fascinated with the real world and emotions that go in real people's heads. He did a good job in portraying that. Perhaps it was precisely because it was set in the real world that I automatically knew what was happening. If I know what is happening, it is easy to appreciate the story:
