I would like to post two, well, actually three reviews that have really inspired me to write fanfiction. This is when I wrote for kicks and giggles, hoping that other people would get the picture:

"Let me tell you something about this.

Someone has done this before. Someone has crossed over Naruto and the Command
and Conquer Tiberian Sun series. Let me also tell you this, that story was
actually good. This, this is just lame. All this is, this is just some random
incident where Kane and the others pop up in a random place. Not only is this
stupid, no one likes to read this excuse for literature. Anyone who does is
mentally challenged. The other one had a plausible explanation, yours does
not, to why the GDI and Nod appeared in the elemental nations.

Also, your grammar sucks. Truly horrendous. I have seen few stories that
have worse grammar then yours. You should be proud, you have won my coveted
"worst story of the day award!" for your lousy grammar. Tell me, how does it
feel?

Personalities scathe the surface of the real characters. You, like nearly
every other author does not get that people like Naruto are more then
hyperactive people who love ramen, they do not get that Sakura is more then a
crazed teenage girl who cannot stop lusting over Sasuke, and they certainly
cannot accept the fact that Orochimaru is not a homosexual pedophile. Get over
it, he is not. Do not deny it as well, you think that is what the characters
mentioned are at most, nothing else.

Now I suggest you go back and rewrite this, include some real detail, get
into the characters, find some probable causes, keep it somewhat inline with
the Naruto universe, and then I'll be back to review again.

One more thing, if you say that you will kill me for this, I will get you
banned."

Gee willikers! I just won the "Worst Story of the Day Award", and it feels/felt like shit! :D

Oh, and thanks for putting thoughts into my head. I totally did not know what I thought about the Naruto characters until you told me. You truly are the god of Naruto fanfiction, for you know more about the authors than they know about themselves! Forgive me for letting my most unholy presence sully the radiance of your sagacity, I beseech you!

Anyways, onto the other gems of advice I received:

"Let me start by saying this is better then your other story, but it is still
not that good. There are several inconsistencies here, as well as your lack of
common grammar and common writers ethic that truly make me angry.

To set the record straight, your other reviewer was right when they said that
there is no Japanese army. The Japanese Defense Force (or JDF), which
encompasses land, air, and navel forces, is not a military. After World War
II, the United States forced Japan to include in it's new constitution that it
would have no military, but was allowed to maintain a defense force.
Basically, the working of the JDF is this. They can only fight if Japan is
under attack. They cannot invade foreign countries and they cannot go to war
other wise.

Now for the grammar. There are several parts here where I find incorrect use
of quotes and use of capitals to show people are shouting. Do real writers,
writers who write columns for newspapers and magazines, writers who write
novels, do those writers capitalize text to show that one is shouting or
talking loudly? No, I do not think so. Also, it is a huge break in the writing
to put authors notes in between sentences. Once again, no real author does
this so you should not as well. Just because you are writing on the internet
does not mean you can forget common writer's ethic.

So once again, your stories are not that good and I suggest you start going
back and fixing them if you want people to really review them. Remember, death
threats means getting banned, so do not even try."

Oh, you people are so NICE!

This is fanfiction, not professional journalism. There's an itty-bitty... oh who am I kidding... there's a humongous quality gap between the two, so I believe SHOUTING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS IS PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE.

Ah, and by the way, there seems to be a teensy weensy problem with you criticizing my grammar, and that would be the fact that you yourself do not have a solid grasp on the difference between "it's" and "its", an elementary-school level grammar concept (it's from freaking fifth grade!). "Its" is the correct possessive form, not "it's", which is the contraction of "it is" (unless, of course, you meant to say that "the United States forced Japan to include in it is constitution that it would have no military", in which case, I withdraw my comment).

On the other hand, there were some... okay, actually one person who helped me out of this rut. I won't say the name, because I don't have the permission, but I would like to say thank you, because you at least made yourself sound nice enough when you were telling me what I could do better with my writing. You may have been pulling your hair out at the keyboard, thinking "dear god, this is HORRIBLE!", but at least you didn't let it show in your message.

"So I happened to read 'Naruto the GDI Commando'. Yes, it was kinda funny in
a Three Stooges kind of way, but...
What if, instead of dropping the Naruto cast into the world of C&C, you
introduced select elements of that world into theirs?
Specifically, tiberium. I can easily see Orochimaru mirroring Kane's
experiments with the stuff... unlike Nod's leader, though, he is not about to
let it run rampant."

See? It made me feel so much better! :D

And to those of you who have reviewed Child After My Heart so charitably, thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you! You are the people who make me feel so special when I open my Yahoo! account, so again: thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!
