o_0 Napoleon Dynamite was funny. Sorry to say, but that Dull, Gray Blob story is too monotone and filled with supposedly large words to give the description a "pick up" for me to like.

Nikushimi · 08-10-2005

It's the randomness that counts. Very random... Who the heck but OMJ would think of a story about a dull grey blob and be able to make "dull" interesting?But then...by what standards would one define "interesting"? ....What IS "dull"...? Are "dull" and "interesting the same thing...................?

.................................................. ..............

.................................................. .

.................................................. .......................

After reading that fic, I just don't know anymore.....

.Twitch in Stereo · 08-10-2005

The first chapter was enough for me. I couldn't stand reading past the point where he continuously described how dull and not-entertaining the blob was. Redundancy = bad.

Hmm.....................
U seem to be right JC, i cant seem to differenciate the two, dull and interesting. ................................................

True. But your senses of "dull" and "interesting"- hell, ALL your senses- are forever altered after reading that fic... 0_0;

.Blacklisted · 08-10-2005

Yes, qute true indeed.
We must do something, must we not?
I mean, We as people need out senses...hence we'll be wearing condoms as hats...

Yeah the Dull Grey Blob ... was pretty uninteresting. But, using that kind of vocabulary and making the effort to make such an inane story look like it's actually about something is good for practice at least, I guess.

Joot · 08-10-2005

Damn, I'm getting so much love with VA, is it that good, thanks for all the recommendation guys, I read all your stories also, I just don't reply, it's not my style to give critism unless it really sucks, or I'm mad.

But anyway thanks and as for JC, every chapter will take a week for me to post, it should be here by Friday or Saturday, sorry for the wait.

And to be on topic, original characters to me aren't too hard, just have to have your mind set on how you want your characters to act around each other like Seal and Brew from Phoenix Sphere, they hate each other but both protect Celeste, kinda like Champloo.

Akatsuki_Encore · 08-10-2005

I don't know. All I hope is that Keira gets a gigantic role. And your story is great!

Nikushimi · 08-11-2005

Yeah. Just wish you'd post more often than once a week, though. But it's a good fic.

Anyway...yeah...bored...nothin' to do right now but sit here.....

Oh, wait, g2g somewhere.

**Punxx** · 08-11-2005

I think posting once a week is good, gives you more time to touch it up and change or add some small details. I very much dislike it when people rush their fictions just so they can post 3-5 times per week. It might work for some people but this seems to be working for Jay so I say let him run with it.

I only post mine about once per week and that works very well for me. Although I haven't had a chapter up for awhile now I think I'm going to try to get it finished tonight... hopefully [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.gif[/img]

Akatsuki_Encore · 08-11-2005

I vary my times. I most often post twice a week, I think. And that's the best?

Nikushimi · 08-11-2005

Actually, 3-5 times a week is pretty reasonable. It would be "rushing" to post once a day or more. I mean, really, it only takes about 30 minutes to write, even if you write long chapters. So probably posting a new chapter every other day would be best. Though that depends on how much free time you have. You may have a tight schedule. But if you're like me, a guy who leaves things until the last minute, free time is ever-abundant. lol

But seriously, once a week is really not good unless you have a short fic. If I posted one chapter of EU a week.......that's like.........1,000 weeks........ That's about 20 years before it's over. So it also depends on the length of the fic. Though some fics help keep your interest in writing them only if you put off writing them for a while. My MFG: The World fic was starting to fade, so I figured I'd sit back and kinda let ideas build up in my head. I never really adhere to schedules, though, so only God knows when I'll post more....

...Tsk tsk tsk... Look at all that. Got carried away a bit there. Didn't mean to pull out more than a paragraph.

**Crayne** · 08-11-2005

About how often I post a new chapter... I have slowed down my pace, maybe once a week...

Why, you ask me... Most likely because I get frustrated as there is views, but not that many comments about the fic.

Maybe the theme of my fic just ain't interesting enough... >_>

Akatsuki_Encore · 08-11-2005

Some fics seem to slip away and get forgotten in the shadows of the lot better.
