Re: The First Rebel, an SMB Prequel

Glad I could help! It takes a lot of courage to ask someone else to review your work-- I know this from hard experience-- and I'm deeply glad if I've been able to help at all. And sure I want to read it! It looks cool! Don't worry, I'm not easily put off by any content other than ultra-graphic viole...

Re: Connecticut Elementary School Mass Shooting

Good point. I do try to make a distinction between actual conservatives and rabid-conservatives; it's hard for me, though, because almost every person I've ever known IRL who has identified as 'conservative' was the rabid-idiot-fundamentalist type. And almost every person I've ever known IRL, and wh...

Re: Connecticut Elementary School Mass Shooting

I live in a highly conservative backwater corner of Texas, where everyone swallows this shit and then spews it out constantly. It was all I could do not to punch someone when people at my school were laughing and making jokes and kids were pretending to shoot each other, within literally hours of th...

Re: Webcomic - THE MARIO WORLD (sequel)

For some reason my computer is going into conniptions every time I try to load one of the images, but from what I can see this looks really cool. I like the gritty artstyle, and the idea of some sort of corruption working its way through the Mushroom Kingdom is simultaneously intriguing and chilling...

Yo, stoppin' by to do some constructive crit! Looks pretty interesting so far; I'll start from the beginning and critique as I go. For the sake of space, I'll cut out any parts that I don't have anything to say about. First off, prologue time! Prologue: Escape. (Mostly a matter of taste, but it's a ...

First off, I apologize for taking so long to get to this. Second, this is absolutely wonderful!

Awesome! High five! :D I can't wait to read it; from what I've seen on its thread, it sounds pretty cool.

It probably won't be that great, and almost certainly not the final version, but if all goes well I should have at least the first chapter of my fic The First Year up by the end of the week.

Great advice! I can vouch for the stopping-mid-chapter thing in particular; I often have to completely start a chapter over if I leave it too long, and that's why I try to write chapters in as few sittings as close together as possible. I've even had to rewrite whole stories on occasion. THE HORROR ...
