![]() Author has written 3 stories for Teen Titans, Harry Potter, and Danny Phantom. Teen Titans/Danny Phantom, A Phantom Of A Titan: Massive, but admittedly really slow progressing rewrite in progress. No Longer Human: Possibly abandoned, not sure. Harry Potter Galleon exchange rate. Here purely for my use for my HP stories, as my obsessive nature compels me to have and use this information whenever money is brought up so that amounts mentioned in the story are grounded in realism. Yet I don't feel like it deserves its own word file or something, so I'm posting it here. To be perfectly honest I'll just likely avoid mentioning exact amounts in story to avoid needing to use this system, but feel free to use it yourself if you want. The worth of the Galleon was gotten off the Harry Potter wiki as an "appropriate" rate that would fit the current climate. When I checked, the exchange rate was 1 pound to 1.31 US dollar. 1 Galleon equals 32.27 US Dollars equals 24.60 pounds 1 Sickle equals 1.90 US Dollars 1 Knut equals .07 US Dollars 1 Galleon equals 17 Sickles equals 493 Knuts 1 Sickle equals 29 Knuts Story ideas! Dumped here just so I can keep track of em. Raven in Amity/Danny in Azarath: Basically a Teen Titans/Danny Phantom crossover, except done differently. My thoughts right now are of the Fenton parents building their portal much, much earlier. Like, when Danny is 5 or so. 5 year old Danny goes in the portal, ends up in Azarath, meets and befriends 5 year old Raven. Whether or not he gets his powers at this point is something I'm unsure of, but I'm playing with the idea of him learning a bit of magic. Anyway, the two become close friends. Eventually Danny leaves Azarath after some time(Yet to decide how long) and Raven goes with him to live with him in Amity. Don't have it hashed out any more than that right now. A Phantom At Yokai Academy: It's been done before, but I hope to put my own twist on it. Soon after getting his powers, Danny gets a mysterious letter inviting him to a school he's never heard of. Sorry, no owls or broomsticks here. He's been invited to Yokai Academy, a monster school... for monsters. He's got to learn how to navigate his newfound ghost powers and stay a step ahead of his new frightening classmates or end up being eaten for lunch. He's got help though. A vampire with two faces, a busty succubus, and a stalker Yuki Onna. Just to name a few. If they don't kill themselves fighting over him first... A Ghoulish Friend: Human Kaneki and Ghoul Touka meet as kids and become friends. He's got no idea she's a ghoul... until she reveals herself to be one to stop him from going out with the Binge Eater Breaking the Cycle: SPOILER WARNING FOR NIER AUTOMATA: 2B is tired of killing 9S. Over and over again he ultimately ends up finding out things he shouldn't, and over and over again she has to kill him because of it. She decides enough is enough. She's going to do whatever it takes to break the cycle. FanFiction reviewers and authors are both in dire need of a short lesson in what the words "constructive criticism" mean. When put into Google, you get the following: the process of offering valid and well-reasoned opinions about the work of others, usually involving both positive and negative comments, in a friendly manner rather than an oppositional one. This should be pretty easy to understand, but let's break it down and explain it. Let's look at the first part of that, yeah? "Valid and well-reasoned opinion." When you put "valid" into Google, you get the following: of an argument or point, having a sound basis in logic or fact. Pretty simple really, it means that your opinion needs to be based in logic and fact. It has to make sense and be easily understandable! Let me give you an example of a "valid" and "invalid" opinion. Invalid: Your story sucks. Valid: Your story sucks because it lacks a clear direction and flow. See the difference? One doesn't make sense at all. The story sucks? Why? I don't understand why you think that. The other is much clearer. Ah, I see. I need to work on my direction. Easy to understand. Let's look at the next part of the definition, shall we? "Well-reasoned." When we go back to Google with it, we get the following: logically argued with skill or care. This is remarkably similar to valid, but with one key difference. "Argued." You have to argue your point! Look at the above examples again. The first doesn't give a reason at all, just states the opinion and is done with it. That isn't reasoned out at all. The second is much better, states a clear reason starting with the word "because". However, it's still not the best. Any good argument contains specific examples. How this would changed to a good argument then is easy, simply say "For example" and proceed to list specific examples showing where and how the story "lacks direction and flow". All together, it looks like this. Your story sucks because it lacks a clear direction and flow. For example... See how much better that is? Now not only does the author know what the problem is, but he has a clear reference point as to where the problem is as well. Easy. Next part is a bit less clear. "Usually involving both positive and negative comments." Yes, usually is pretty much leave to point out nothing but faults. It'll be more important in reference to the last point however. But before that let's be honest here. If you really want to help, if you see a story that has potential and really want to help make it shine, then the last thing to do is make it look like you are attacking the author writing it. If that happens, it's a good chance you'll either be ignored, get an angry response, or worse yet make the author not want to write anymore. You need to make it clear that you like the work and that you are trying to help. You need to put yourself on their side. Easy way to do that? Point out what you like. And if you don't like anything about it, then you need to ask yourself an important question: why the hell are you even bothering? If it's just because you want to tear someone down, then you are a bully and a part of the issue here. Last part here, almost done. "In a friendly manner rather than an oppositional one." This plays hand in hand with the above point so much that it isn't even funny. You need to be friendly and constructive, rather than oppositional and destructive. This is easily done. For how not to be oppositional, both the above paragraph as well as the rest of this one will explain. Remember the last example I gave you? Adding the examples? Take it a step further. Don't just add the examples of the problem, try to add potential solutions as well. For example, you could do this by pointing out a specific example of where the story doesn't have a clear direction and suggest a solution at the same time. This is how you can be constructive as opposed to destructive. Now, its understandable if you know there is an issue but don't know how to solve it. And if that's the case, just say that. You can't be faulted for that, you aren't the writer. There isn't anything wrong with seeing an issue but not knowing how to solve it. And that's the breakdown. As a personal note from me as an author, I see it like this. Feel free to point out every grammar error, every spelling mistake and such. Question my word choice, tear apart the dialogue, criticize the fight scenes, and put every single thing I do and word I type under a microscope if you like. I write because I enjoy writing. I'll correct the mistakes and errors, quite happily so. I'm not perfect. But beyond that, how my story is written is most likely how I want it to be written. While I like hearing suggestions and what people think and would in no way seek to discourage you given that I do read every single review, ultimately the chances of me making big changes to the story based on it is rather small. Unless you follow all the points I talked about above. Do that and I've no choice but to take you seriously. And as a side, closing note, don't leave it in a guest review. It just makes it feel like you want to be able to say what you want with no repercussions and without any chance of getting a direct response. Cowardly, in another word. A FanFiction account really just doesn't take long enough to make for it to be considered too much trouble in any sense of the word. That's it on this topic! | |||||||
