Hello, fellow fanfic readers 'n' writers! This is only the first story to be "reviewed" by me. It's "Marshall ARMS Up!" and the original author is Max waspace, from whom permission has been received to do this. Now, in accordance with the rules of the site, I can't exactly throw comments into this without violating one, so I'm gonna have to do things a little differently. Comments can now be found at the end, in the A/N type thing I have there. Oh; if you hate me for my comments, then please don't read or send a purposeful flame review. I don't have time for that.
P.S. URL of this story in its raw state is: s/12999646/1/Marshall-ARMS-up.
A Dalmatian pup began to stir as he slept on a bed in some sort of laboratory facility. The pup kept tossing and turning in his sleep until his eyes began to open.
"Where am I?" thought Marshall as he finally woke up in a strange, unfamiliar place. His initial thoughts were filled with confusion and terror until he began to calm down and assess the situation. [1] His eyes scanned the small, cramped room while he was on the bed. He saw various papers, blueprints, computers and other gadgets scattered on desks around the room. The room seemed to be closed off, sealed by a security coded door, eliminating any chance of escape. [2]
Curious, he proceeded to observe the room for any points of interest; he soon laid eyes on a small folder on a desk next to the bed at which he slept, with a turned-on computer next to it. [3] Said folder only had the image of a human fist, and the computer showed various humanoids with springlike arms most of the time. Intrigued, Marshall quickly got up and off the bed and walked over to the file. [4] Once he picked up the file, he noticed there was something at the bottom in fine print (you know, the stuff nobody reads unless the plot needs it). [5]
"ARMS Laboratories," Marshall read out loud. Marshall wondered if that's where he was currently located. [6] Curiosity got the best of him, and he began to look in the folder for more information before he heard a hissing sound at the door as it began to open to reveal a scientist in a black lab coat.
"Ah, Marshall. I see you've woken up. Please come with us, you can bring that file you have if you wish," the scientist said as she beckoned Marshall to the door. [7] Seeing no other option, Marshall gulped as he grasped the file and headed out to a new chapter of his life.
There it is! Again, if you've someway ignored my earlier warning and are still here, this is the part with comments. Don't like, leave now please.
[1] If you decided to read the original before this, you'll notice that this part is very slightly different. I couldn't help myself, honestly.
[2] I actually don't know what a security coded door is. Apparently, neither does my autocorrect. Hmm.
[3] Again, couldn't help myself...
[4] Yeah, but I thought you said ... you know what? I'm gonna stop there. It's my job to review this story, not to find everything wrong with it. That's somebody else's.
[5] That sounds suspiciously like something I would say...
[6] Pretty good guess, now considering that it's just a file on a desk in the middle of nowhere. Good job, Marshall.
[7] I'll be totally honestly honest: I genuinely didn't know that the scientist was female the first time I read the story. Sometimes, I really do worry about myself and my powers of perception at times.
Bye! Have a nice day! See you in the next chapter! Don't forget to review! Send a PM! Maybe some ideas, alright?
