Hi; of course, being friendly with you authors is not something that I intend to pursue. Let's skip the formalities, shall we? My name is none of your business, nor my age, nor my ethnicity or where I live. Okay, if I told you that my name was Lala, I'm 100000 years old and I live in your imagination would you be satisfied? Ha, thought not. I will never write a fic; didn't the name cue that in already? My goal here; my only goal here, is to read fics. GOOD fics. Nothing more, nothing less. Although I will never write a fic, I am planning on a 'Interview with...' sereis where I interview this sites best writers; in my opinion, of course... I WILL review your fics, and when I come for you I will come hard; not holding anything back. I will be brutal, I will tell you the truth, and if you are worthy of praise I will give that to you. However, if you are a bad writer, if your grammer is horrible, if your plot mooches off others with you not giving that author or movie credit... I WILL TELL YOU OFF. And not on a PM; on a review. I could care less if you PM me flaming me; save your antics. I'm polite and respectful when I review, and when you try and tell me off because I told you the truth then I will take the gloves off... Now that we're done with that, why not start off with the authors I respect? Note that I am only reviewing for Harvest Moon now, a game that I loved. The fics are rich, but I fear most writers have fallen into the farmer hole. Here are some people that I respect for digging themselves out of that hole. StarrNight- Quite the authoress, don't you think? She started out small, but when her 'Mineral Town Maidens' sereis really took off it took off. Starry, as she likes to be called, writes about the villagers and farmers, and even though she is stuck in that whole farmer hole per se, it's her hole. StarrNight has a way of making things sound like they really happened, to quote a reviewer from her latest fic, 'Threshold'. That's her gift; making you believe that things really happened. Besides being an excellent storyteller, she can hook you with cliffhangers and make you come begging for more. That's the best thing, I think... making you come back for more. If I had to rate her, I'd say A+. The Scarlet Sky- Oh my, she's also quite the authoress. Although she is a behemont lover of Gray x Mary (Grary), a pairing that I do not especially care for, she can write. Her two most outstanding fics are 'Drowning in the Tide' and 'There are Other Fish in the Sea'. DitT tells of a heartbroken and lonely woman while TaOFitS tells a tale of comedy. Scarlet can write, but if I were to truly tell what her TRUE masterpiece is, it would be DitT. Her onehots are short, sweet and masterful and her stories are rich and enthralling; although I'd rather do without the Grary, thank you... Other than that, A+. Ekoaleko- This writer's ascent to stardom was quick, I think. This writer writes fics en masse, but his/her fics do not suffer because of them. The crown jewel of his/her success, however, is most definitely 'Her Name in Blood'; a thriller, something that the Harvest Moon community can see more of, besides the every day romance. The reason I like Ekoaleko is that him/she gets out of the box and writes something no one has seen before and is not afraid to do it. His/her stories are masterfully told, lush and enthralling, something you don't see that often even in published works. All in all, A+. Kuruk- A newcomer to the Harvest Moon scene, sure, but he/she writes with a proffessionalism that you would expect to see in a published author. While he/she does not receive as much hype like Scarlet, Starry or Ekoaleko, his/her small fanbase is loyal and growing, I think. He/she was written a few fics; starting out rather weak with his/her fic 'the Foreigner' and progressing to his/her masterpiece 'Where the Heart is'. What I love about Kuruk is that he/she creates OCs that fit in seamlessly into Harvest Moon and thinks completely out of the box. Surely his/her new fic 'Eli's Anatomy' will generate hype, no? Mixing the hit show and Harvest Moon is something only he/she can do, and I believe he/she does what he/she does well. All in all, A+. MORE TO COME! |
