So I received this review from Z03-Y on 2011-09-29 for my story "These are my confessions":

Obviously, you didn't read the ratings system properly, because K+ indicates "Suitable for more mature childen, 9 years and older...Should not contain any adult themes." And this has PLENTY of adult themes. This should be labeled Tenn, not K+.

That technicality aside, your writing isn't too awful. But Tokiya seems out of character. WAY out of character. Even Ittoki to a certain extent. His innocence is completely blasted here. The story leaves a bad after-taste. Blech.

Also, "..." does not account for proper dialogue of any kind. Unless you're writing comic book dialect. :/

Try again, dude. 'Cause this failed to hit home at all.

Did a background check on this cactus, and after doing certain deductions, I replied to her with the following:

Firstly, thank you for negative feedback. I appreciate your effort for typing this out even though I know it was painful for you, being a cactus and all. As for the ratings, I wasn't able to find the 'Tenn' setting, so I placed it under 'Teen' instead. That's about the same right? Though, last I remembered, Tenn is the short form for Tennessee and not a fiction rating.

Secondly, could you help me point out which part of Tokiya and Otoya did I went out of character? It would be nice if I have something specific to look out for so I can prevent further OOC errors. Was it because Tokiya became flustered so easily? Was it because Otoya dug through Tokiya's closet and played with his clothes? I would appreciate a little more specificity.

Thirdly, this is fanfiction. It's written by a fan for other fans. I don't expect it to be published in a book format and get money from it, so I believe an ellipsis is acceptable in writing terms. If you have noticed from my other stories, I tend to write spoken dialogue separate from the general writing scheme, because this is how I write. I am influenced by the Japanese novel writing style, and I find the format easier to write as I don't have to crack my head thinking of words other than 'said'. I'm lazy, yes, but that's how I write.

I apologise for the bad aftertaste my poorly written fanfiction gave you, but in my defence, if you don't like it, why do you read it in the first place? You could have closed the window and carried on minding your own business. Unless you have tact and the ability to give constructive criticism as well as stories of your own to prove that you are a better writer, you have little right to slam other people's works and proclaiming them substandard. I would dismiss you as a troll, but then it'll give other trolls a bad name.

May Leviathan have mercy on your cactus soul.

I hope this trollcactus person realises how delightfully awesome she is.

Aki: Thanks for the input. I'll take that into mind the next time. :3

Miss Cactus Z03-Y: what Aki posted is called constructive criticism because she points out exactly where I've been off and in a very polite manner too. Learn from her and don't make an account with no credentials just to be rude to others.
