And here I was thinkin that Sailor Uchiha would have depraved souls nipping at your heels and howling at your doors for your blood. Go fig. Hopefully the admins at FFN are still AWOL, considering their track record of yanking perfectly fine fics (or perfectly fine spamfics) just because one crank doesn't realise nobodies forcing them to read.
Anyways, don't let anyone talk you outta your crack problems Ttestgar, just keep em coming :yay:

Okay, I received this review on AFF.Net, for Shadow Leaf Dance. Try spotting what's WRONG with it.
Remember, it's on ADULTFANFICTION.Net. :rofl:
...spotted it yet? Yeah, that's what I thought. One wonders, if that guy is so much against dirty stuff, why was he on AFF.Net to begin with, and why'd he read a story clearl classified as smut? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Earlier this evening, I received a couple of reviews for MRFD. Normally, they're "Update soon!" or "This was great, but you should make it Ranma/Kasumi".
Which is fine, however, Morden Night didn't like certain elements of it.
His first review
Ok, so Reiko deciding that she likes Ranma enough to keep the engagement might be a little too quick, but remember she's been alone for the best part of a decade and her children will be leaving home soon.
Then he followed up with this:
Ok, so he seems to be a little confused. "Fair enough", I thought, I'll explain them to him in a PM.
So here it is.
I know it's not a literary epic, but are you all fine with MRFD as it stands? Do any of you think that the "FFT sounds, really, REALLY gay" ?
Just curious.

The French Flipper Trick does not sound gay. An Alabama Hot Pocket ... well, who knows.
I have no issues with the FFT and it's sound. IT is French... but .. meh?
As for the football/basketball dribble thing? I imagine he thought of that American Football sport, rather than what Americans call Soccer. Futbol or Balonpie for me and the rest of us latinos, and Football in the rest of the world. Unfortunately the American culture is so permeated with it it's like a horse with blinders when it comes to 'soccer'.

I know. One of the first things I'll do when I'm Overlord of Earth is to rename the NFL.
Worst case scenario, I'll force them to rename it on the grounds of false advertising. They kick the ball at best a couple of dozen times in an hour's standard play.
That's just not enough for it to warrant the name "football".

Also, have them play without the pads. Just taunt them off saying that they're pussies, since the British do it all the time.
As for the FFT ... it's a tantric technique pioneered by genetically engineered waterfowl. Somehow, I think it sounding 'gay' is the least of possible worries involved. :sisi:
Besides, it's got history. Change it at the risk of being barraged by protestations from loyal readers. Right peeps?

Watch it, toraneko... I'll force a glass of chardonay down your throat. Now then... yes, I am from america and thus I think of "football" as the american style. However, knowing that you are from England, Raa... I can safely surmise when you say football that it means "American Soccer" and not "American Football".
As for FFT, just let the poor idiotic bastard find his way to a few of your EVA omakes and then he'll come around.

hmm...some of my favoirtes
From Shrine Keeper of Rei Ayanami for "Perpetual Smile"
So making people feel suicidal is a good thing? I am a bit worried now...
-----
In keeping with the old Major Mike Powell III theme, for the story "Overthrown"
Was a bit confusing until I realized that the was talking about the alligator Shiro when he mentioned "Whitie"
-----
From an unregistered reviewer called hewhowatches for "Shadow Fox"
I don't know who this person was or why he was convinced that I was a girl that he knew and that I was just hiding my identity, but it gave me a good laugh.
-----
From the panda for the story "Shadow Fox"
...was this comment even necessary. It was in response to a comment made simply stating that I was was not hiding my identity after the review mentioned above. I didn't think it was that uncommon of terminology. Also, it amused me that he couldn't spell conceited right after he had left another review trying to prove his intelligence by telling me that something I wrote wasn't a satire.
-----
From reviewer Deziko for "Shadow Fox"
... ... ...Beats me.
-----
And of course, the most frustrating and review ever that I don't understand, left by Goldensage1 for both "prepetual smile" and "shadow fox"
... I just don't know. I had considered that it might be a letter grade review, but he had those stories either as a favorite or as an alert, so I just don't know. What the hell is "f" supposed to mean, it drives me mad.

@Lord Raa:
Kinda sounds a bit stuck up, doesn't he?
I guess you could take what he says as a 'grain of salt' but considering most of your stories are humorous/lemony I'd just keep writing the way it is. (BTW Make Room for Daddy is a good humorous story, very enjoyable just to read something different now and again)

Eh. I wouldn't, because to me, that thing sounds as pompous as hell, especially the last part. That he doesn't have a clue on the MOST common term for football (aka, 'soccer') should tell you that he's probably not too aware on correct usage of terms not often used in the U.S. (and also not good at paying attention), thus not likely to be too helpful with the "Christmas Cake" or "Dutch Wife" bit either. His last comment stinks of an rather large opinion of himself, and is amusing considering his own bits of 'advice' are somewhat shaky.
Of course, that's simply my opinion of it. *shrug*

Bah...
I'll take what my high school gym class called 'Ultimate Frisbee' over Basketball, Soccer, Football, Football Americano, and Hocky any day.
I've always been amused and dismayed by the idiocy of sports fanatics of the above catagories. So much so I always take the following approach.
1. Ties are the best desired outcome, but practically never occur.
2. If the game is being played in any stadium other than near me, always hope for the visiting team. (this has the tendancy to disgruntle more fans that if the visiting team loses)
3. If the game is being played near me, always hope for a loss of the home team.
4. Never watch professional sports, especially if offered money to do so for the amusement of others, as had occured to me several times. (Or for their well being in supposedly creating a convert, I've never been certain which, though being offered a couple grand to watch a superbowl once was creepy, but well worth the amusement of watching him when I turned him down).
5. Always avoid TV on the opening wekks and ending weeks of sports games. Also avoid at all costs the American Football Superbowl game. (I love being the rogue statistic that has no clue about what ever they spent gobs of money advertizing during the game). (I agree with Lord Raa on this one, there is not one bit of bowling involved in that game, or so I've been informed by those who have seen it, and calling it football is dumb as well)
6. Always shake head at dummies that go shirtless and paint or disfigure their bodies for their team in extreme cold weather, forcing ambulance workers to take them away. (regrettibly, to the wrong type of hospital, but we can't have it all)
The above philosphy sometimes teaches humility, and the hopefuls always get more fanatical, so the true entertainment provided to me by the news of their antics is of minor dismayed humor. (I am a cynic, so this is a good thing).

Eh I watch football if the team from my area is on and is good that year, but I don't get why people get as obsessed as they do.
And while I am from America and am used to american football being called football and real football being called Soccer, I agree that it is incredibly stupid, but I just take it as America's obsessive Nature to be different in all things.
instead of using the metric system which makes a hell of a lot more sense we use, inches feet and yards.
instead of using celsius which has freezing point at 0 degrees we use Farenheit
insteadof calling a game where you kick the ball football, we call a game where the ball is usually held football.
