Didn't read the whole thing aside from that post b/c it seemed stupid.

Is it it your first time meeting 'em?

Don't you love it when women fight over you?

Don't take that shit, don't even acknowledge it, when you ignore people like that, it grinds their gears even more. Makes them feel irrelevant. (Because they are!)

Keep ya head up.

Cool cool. Sleep good n' all. And I hear you on the rants thing; stress can be really draining. I'm not very confrontational, so whenever I get into it with somebody on the internet (pretty rare, but it's happened) I get all freaked out and feel pretty terrorized in general.

Ha, well, don't feel obligated to read it all in one sitting or anything. I wrote it in kind of a satirical "proper English narratwaah" voice that condescended the main characters and PSO's story in general at every turn, so it may not have been my most literary or important work—but I do think you'd probably get a kick out of it. I really just wanted to make people laugh, but about halfway through, the story started getting a little bit action-adventury. I've really never tried that genre before, but I had a lot of fun with it.

Haha, I can't remember if you read my Get Well Soon Spaceman story from last summer, but that one got pretty ridiculous, especially toward the end. It did at least mention a lot of the canon characters, though. Tearing a story and its world apart and putting it back together in a different way is just too much fun.

That's pretty cool. The character designs in PSU really turned me off for some reason, and I wasn't very charmed by the hokey story, either. I always preferred the desolate Metroid-esque sense you got from PSO, like your character was creeping through this mysterious ruined planet, alone, constantly on guard.

I've still got a few characters and plot ideas that I think are pretty interesting kicking around in my head, so maybe one of these days I'll download the beta. Or more likely I'll wait for the English release. I've never made much of an effort in any of my PSO writings to stick to the established story or characters, but I feel like it'd be way easier and more fun to do some world building if the world I was building on was at least in a language I can read.

Heck yeah! Besides, I don't really think it's appropriate to launch into a big critique when someone posts a story or a drawing on the Fan Works forum. It's largely a place to share stuff you've made and be entertained by stuff other people have made. It's just fan fiction—it shouldn't have to be so hard core. Hone your skills all you like, but it's still nice to have a place to go when you want to make something unpretentious and fun. Especially for writing. Write first for yourself first and for anybody else second.

I was kind of planning on doing a PSO2 story at some point, but for some reason I kind of lost interest in trying the game. How're you liking it?

Wow, what the hell happened?

Huh? Nassandra antics?

What's up?

Glad to provide! People in "critique" communities usually seem to forget that positive criticism and general encouragement can be really helpful when it comes to developing a craft. Knowing what you're doing right and why it's good is every bit as necessary as knowing what you're doing wrong.

Thank you, Olaf!

So now PSU is dead. Can't imagine how many people feel right now.

As far as PSO2, well, in the meantime, I'm kinda just waiting around for a bit to see what happens. Are you in Ship 2?

I think after yesterday and Friday with my friends, I'm just going to sleep today @_@

All I can picture is a blue crab with large boobs

Thanks! July birthdays rock, I proudly embrace my Leo-ness.

A-and stop reminding me I'm old ;___;

Okay, so I can't really talk now (posting from iPhone in a hospital), but I hope what ever brings that on passes quickly. Please endure.

Well, one doesn't have to be intelligent to post on the internet after all.

A prime example would be that moron who posted in the infinity board with a gore picture in order to get himself banned (assuming his account wasn't hacked of course).

It would of been funnier if he used the same link you did though. That's too bad.

I hope things go well, and if I choose the right ship if things go well. I want to expand my FOmar moments like I have on BB and Infinity.
