That means you read my OF, right? Do I get criticism!?
Oh...uh...no...I didn't read them... I just know the Wizard's work and he's so very good...though I wish he'd act out is conversations and stuff, they always seem a tad stiff. You actually have to get up and become your characters as if it was a movie or something. ^_^

You should read all of them before you vote, S.Train. I want your criticism.
Working on my next story now, it's without a doubt the best one I've written so far! I'll probably start posting it in the middle of June, though I can't promise anything.

I don't give out crits so easily...besides, I've already told you both what I think. Unless something dramatic has happened, there isn't much need for me to crit.

I don't remember you saying anything about FTR Chapter 2 and 3. Wait, you didn't say much about Chapter 1. You said great stuff, and that you should give me a proper crit soon.

I do. I use everything I know about the characters to create their dialogue.

Ummmm...uh...ummmm...:ghehe: did I say that? :ghehe: Well, I think my usual crits still stand, don't they?

You must act it out though, young padawan. After acting out the scenes for a few years I got to the point where I didn't need to act them out anymore, but first you must become your character for real.

Yes, you said that. I would, but I don't know what I must improve on. You never gave me a crit on this work. xD It's hard to apply crits from a different OF to this OF.

I do, that's what I said My main characters are mostly just extentions of myself, man, so I always act them out The rest are usually more difficult to do so with, but I always attempt to make their actions as realistic as possible.

Nope, not so hard actually. You see, every writer has a very distinguished way of writing, it's like a painting or something, you can tell by the brush strokes and the style. Without even reading it I can tell you three things that you need to improve on:
1. Sentence structure. You probably only go over a sentence once or twice and you rarely change one at all. See, every sentence I write I take a moment to think about, even if it's just a post here on NB. I agonize over every word infact, at every turn I practice. Almost every sentence in all the chapters I've posted has been re-written at least once.
2. Vocabulary. This also goes along with sentence structure because often times what you need to re-write a sentence a different way is a stronger vocabulary.
3. Repetition. Again, this goes with vocabulary and sentence structure.
It just so happens that these are some of the hardest obstacles to overcome in writing and they're part of the reason why not everyone is a writer. However, it's a simple matter of putting in the extra effort. I told you the first time we ever talked that you must use every opportunity to train yourself. I just used this post as training, and I use all the others as well.

Ah, but are you really there? When you write a specific line that holds a lot of power in it, does it send a chill down your spine?

The last point is the one I really want your criticism on, repetition. Sometimes there's things that writers can't see with their own eye.

Well, yeah. Of course it does And I'm always THERE. That's how I get my ideas in the first place

Hmmm...there's still a stiffness to it though, not sure how to put my finger on it either. How many times do you go over a chapter and make edits? You see, it is much like a woman, you must caress the labia completely, not just the parts you like the most...

*grabs pen and paper* (caress...the labia...) I reread them rather frequently, actually, even after I post them.

:rofl: That was my pervy post for the day, no offence intended, ladies. ^_^
Yeah, I do that too, I always read it at least once after posting, and that's after reading in several times before posting. I always seem to find something I missed too. I'm not sure what to tell ya' then...though it didn't seem to be happening so much with your original story except in a few places.
