More that gets on my nerves.

 

 

Geography.

 

This, is a map of South Korea.

 

It takes two hours on the KTX high speed train for your characters to get from Seoul to Busan. Oddly enough, it's about that same time if you fly. As you can see by the road system, it's actually pretty complicated to drive from one city to the next. What you also see on the map is that no, Busan is not just south of Seoul.

 

For further information, depending on layovers and such, is takes roughly fourteen(14) hours to fly from Los Angeles to Seoul. Feel free to consult the google machine. It has a wealth of knowledge about South Korea on it. Use it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BIOLOGY

 

MPREG is, in my opinion, the dumbest thing the fanfiction community has produced. It is physically IMPOSSIBLE for a man to get pregnant. Where the hell is he holding the baby? He would be holding an expanding child....in his colon or intestines. Seriously. That's what's back there. Do you need a diagram? Well, here's one anyway.

And the few times that I have read one these monstrosities, the writer is always very vague about delivery. Hmm. I wonder why.....

 

To the writers who decide to go that unfortunate route, if it's supernatural or sci-fi in theme, great. No holds barred on that tag. You can make up whatever you want because I expect there to be a certain level of unbelievability in those stories. Idols in outer space? Sure! Vampires, werewolves, aliens and faeries? Please do. A supposed to be canon story about band mates turned lovers and one suddenly pops up pregnant.....no. At least warn that it's coming. Spring that on me and I will navigate away quicker than—

 

 

Oh.

 

Other that I don't get along that line.

Chapter 20: I can only wish more people would use beta readers, especially if you are putting all this work into something that obviously means something to you. It only makes sense, if you’re in a rush to publish and don’t have the time time put it away to reread later when you’re not so close to it, then use the fresh and objective eyes of beta reader. Thank you for putting that out there

Chapter 14: Lol @ 16. I do idol fics, and I used to give characters with very little training in one area really strong twins but now I just want to punch myself and everyone who does that in the face.

Your rants and ravings are so very informative. I will revisit it when I have/find the motivation to write again. I agree with most of your opinions about the stories on AFF. I have to say I like reading your stories, I like your characters and how you "build" them. I could care less if they were black, white, purple or whatever color; race or ethnicity, I like them for who they are. How they develop. And of course their background is an important part of that but I don't think their color is key. I hope that you get what I mean, it's difficult to explain without seeing your reaction ^^. You asked about angsty stories and I just read a lot of angst stories by the same author. The stories were compelling and I couldn't stop reading them but I also thought that it was a bit too much. Too much pain and heartache never any form of relieve for the characters. I felt drained after reading their stories back-to-back, no matter how interesting I found the stories. I contemplated telling the author that, how I felt about the stories but I was to chicken to actually do it. After reading your R&R I decided to tell them anyway. It's upbuilding criticism and not a bashing. Thanks again for your insights and keep writing these interesting funny and heartwarming stories. Who doesn't want to be Luna, I sure wanted to be. ^^

Chapter 35: A good story will have one or more of the following - good plot/interesting characters/attractive writing style/inexplicable something that makes you relate to the story at once.

Chapter 32: I’m CHOKING I’m pretty sure that chpt 31 (Consistency) was my story ? I specifically remember thinking that it was so innovative. I hated that decision too after writing two chapters because It got so tiring to write. I do still like the concept of the story so I’m thinking of revisiting it. Hopefully I don’t make the same mistake ?
