I sincerely doubt that, in a serious fic, Hotaru would refer to her three "mothers" as Titsuna, Whoreuka and Bitchiru.
Whenever you fail to label your crackfics as such, Setsuna gets run over by The Doctor's TARDIS. Please think of poor old Setsuna.
As a side rant, different fic, and non-crackfic... I just don't see Rei Hino calling anyone a "cuddly-poo." Using Rei and cuddly in the same sentence already goes against the laws of nature for me.

This is the second and final part of my Author’s Commentary on Signals.
The original fic is at my journal in two sections, Part 1a and Part 1b. (The commentary for Part 1a was posted on Sunday and can be found here and here)
The commentary for Part 1b has again been split into in two sections and is at my journal, here and here.
Dear fanbrat,
you want to write a story in which Sora and Riku are a couple? You don't want Sora and Kairi to be together since you are a Riku/Sora shipper?
Hey, fine with me - I have no qualms about that...but I DO have troubles with unjustified character bashing.
In this story Sora hates Kairi because I hate her too. RikuxSora.
No, no, NO. You're doing in wrong.
Stop bashing characters just because you don't like them: this is not about what YOU think about Kairi, it is about what SORA thinks about her. You may not like Kairi, but Sora DOES. He cares for Kairi deeply, and he's ready to sacrifice himself for her just like he would do for Riku - she is his FRIEND, and he went through a lot of trouble to save her.
Changing something so important (last time I checked, Sora's affection for her was VERY important in the plot of KH) just because YOU don't like Kairi just makes no sense. Oh, and believe it or not, Sora doesn't have to hate Kairi in order to stay with Riku. They can still be friends, you know? Just saying.
Dear (many and varied) fanfiction writers,
Please learn the difference between 'wandering' and 'wondering'. Hands, last time I checked, don't think, as that is a function reserved for the brain. I believe the word you were looking for was 'wander'. This is moving without definite purpose/objective.
Whilst I'm on this particular page, how about learning the difference between 'they're', 'there' and 'their'? My seven-year-old cousin doesn't even mix these up.
Please, for the love of all that's holy and wonderful (like chocolate), would you please, please, please use spellchecker before you post? Most browsers even have a spellchecker these days, so don't try and pull that excuse on me. If your spelling and grammar is that terrible that it makes your story almost impossible to read, may I suggest you get a beta?
Sincerely,

Summary: this chapter kind of summarized itself.......wth
No, no it didn't. I have no idea what your chapter (or story) is about. I can guess, from the title, and the 'pairing' (which, by the way, I don't think 'a pairing that consist of five people....but this time one closer to the other' makes as much sense as you think it does, but I think I know what you're trying to get at).
But, see, this involves a lot of guesswork on my part, and other than vague guesses which have a high probability of being wrong (not to mention your abuse of ellipses) does not make me want to read your story at all.
This is a series. Not only do I not know what chapter you have just posted (please number them, thank you), I don't even know what your story - or that specific chapter - is about, and I don't want to look back through the community to find out.

poshness_incFirst, let me say that I just got into this fandom and I am amazed by the brilliant fic in this com. I was wondering if there are any Sam/Gene fics where one of them is a victim of a hate crime/discrimination? I know most Sam/Gene fic is the secret kind because of the 70s being the 70s, but are there any in which people find out and they have to face the consequences?
Also, are there any fics (gen or slash) where Sam wakes up and tries to figure out if Gene and Co. were real? Looks for graves? Searches the internet?
Thanks in advance! I feel like such a bum, posting without anything to offer, but I've got Sam/Gene fanart on the way. Promise. ;]

I realize "Mana" is a commonly used term in fantasy stories, often to be synonymous with magic. It can refer to a character's magic power in general, to magical force of a given world, to the land, even to a Real-Life beverage or holy foodstuffs. I get this. So, Author, I can completely understand you naming your fictitious, magical fantasy AU country/planet "Mana."
One small problem: In this particular fandom, Mana already exists.Mana is a person.So when you're trying to talk about immigration and say something like, "As travelers come in and out of Mana, the secrets start leaking out too," without previously specifying that "Mana" is, in fact, an effing country, I'm stricken with nightmarish images of immigrants trying to climb up into that poor girl's womb. Thankfully, my brain shuts down before it can fully render whatever the hell "leaking secrets" are supposed to be in this horrible, horribly horrific thing.Summary in Question, for the curious:
Yami and Yugi, along with everyone else, lives in a beautiful, magical, exotic world. It's perfect, right? Wrong! As travelers come in and out of Mana, the secrets start leaking out too. Please read. :DThat emoticon will haunt my nightmares.

If a thief steals a nuclear bomb, and then it goes off, the good guys aren't going to be able to save everyone by throwing the bomb into a handy pond.
Nuclear bombs are incredibly destructive devices. The most the pond could do would be to slightly dampen the effect of the explosion (right before being vaporized). The surrounding areas would still suffer great devastation, and inhabitants of said areas would suffer radiation poisoning and burns if they don't die outright. The heat of the bomb that went off at Hiroshima literally melted people. A pond is no match for a force that can turn people into puddles.
If that wasn't enough, you had the good guys actually take the thief on his offer to give them a place to stay! Why are they trusting this man who tried to steal a freaking nuclear bomb not more then five minutes before? The characters in question have been around the block, they have enough sense to know not to trust heavy armament thieves.
Common sense is a wonderful thing. Please use it while writing.
Teal;deer version: Nuclear bomb = A BIG BOOM, Nuclear bomb + pond = STILL A BIG BOOM. And don't trust people who try to steal nuclear bombs to find you a good apartment.
ETA: Upon more careful reading, the thief didn't set off the bomb, but he did try to steal and sell it, so you still shouldn't trust his real estate advice. And a pond is still a bad anti-nuclear device.

Dear specific author:
If you sign up for a ficathon that is solely about crazy, out-there pairings, in which you requested a fic for one of your favorite crazy, out-there pairings...
...why are you so shocked that the prompts you got assigned to are so cracky? That's the goddamned point!
Don't sign up for a crack!ship ficathon if you won't write weird pairings (and especially don't bitch about the person you're writing for not picking 'normal' characters...again, you should have expected something like that).
I'm just praying that our backup writer replies soon, because it is ridiculously late for this to be happening.
No love,
Tenshi
