    It was called Power Job and it was by Jeezits but I think s/he left the site in a huff. So its been deleted off here.

    Yup. It's over on WWOEC now.

    Didn't like the arbitrary moves of my fics, but didn't bother debating it since I knew it would only ever come down to "it's our site and we'll do what we want".

  2. I'm searching for for a fanfiction of Kim possible were she goes to question an informant at a strip club.

    He tries to seduce her with his "endowment" along with a busty bisexual waitress who seems familiar with the informant's ablilty and likes the idea of a three-way with Kim.

    I've one read the first chapter that had KP give the informant a HJ but I've been hoping that this story has been continued.

    That was by a writer called Kimberly Anne Possible, and he took down his stuff. Again.

  3. In that point I disagree. Reviews belong to the story they are attached TO. Which is why they technically then belong to the AUTHOR. Only two people can remove them from the board, in the software. The person who left the review, and the person who's story it's attached to. For ME to remove a review, means I go in to the table, find it, and then delete it.

    As it stands from a technical aspect of the site, yes. If I then post the same review on my profile, is this still true? No. It's my review. I wrote it. If the author doesn't like it, too bad. For the third time, I understand the issues that would be involved in doing this. It would be a pain in the ass and probably require different software and a buttload of moderators to investigate every whine, I mean, complaint. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. However, that isn't my point. From a reviewer's perspective the system is worthless.

    I can sympathise with both sides of the issue, but I honestly think this works the way it is right now. I mean, not allowing people to remove their reviews (unless it's spam/flame), is really the exact same thing as a writer deleting a review they don't like. Reviewers and writers need to get a thicker skin and just play the hand they've been dealt. If your story wasn't that awesome, you grit your teeth and work on improving. If someone deleted your review, you stop reviewing that author, period. Getting upset and playing the martyr in either case is just immature(project much? I thought it was hilarious, not aggravating). And hypocritical, too, in the case of the reviewer.

    It's not even remotely the same. A writer removing a review he/she doesn't like is like Cartman shouting "screw you gahs, I'm going home" as a debate tactic. As it stands now, "If your story wasn't that awesome, you grit your teeth and work on improving" in reality means "remove the review and cry about meanies in your profile". Hypocritical? Hardly. There's no point in writing reviews if they can be arbitrarily removed by the author. Imagine if you read the reviews and instead of nothing but "omg i lik YxZ" there were actual reviews. As in, "adverbs are not a substitute for description", or "What are you showing in X; you need to describe it better", or even "this is very poorly written with bad spelling and horrible punctuation". Except most of the authors that receive these kinds of reviews immediately delete them. The system doesn't work.

    As far as finding out if a story is good to me, I take the unimaginable task of actually reading it. Usually takes less than a few seconds to find out if the egg is rotten.

  4. I see no reason to make it so that authors are unable to control their content, including the reviews they keep, or don't keep.

    Except the reviews aren't their content. It's the reviewer's. It's akin to a movie studio asking a newspaper to fire a person who gave their movie a bad review. However, I realize it would be ludicrous to try and implement that sort of mod-only review removal, the site is too big. I was merely putting that forward as the only way I'd bother with giving reviews: if I knew they'd actually matter.

    Can I just say that attitude is a contributing factor to the mentality that readers have that they don't want to review?

    You misunderstand, I'm not even talking about reviews, I'm talking about the 1-5 rating drop down menu that takes half a second. Seriously, it's lazy.

    Now, as far as people removing reviews, I've left concrit for authors trying to help them write better which was deleted as soon as they read it. My opinion on that is if they want to write poorly, there's nothing I can do about it. I said my piece, they didn't listen, not my problem. I just don't read their stuff anymore.

    Agreed. I laughed at the response and went back to my writing.

    As for glowing reviews for bad fiction (which is what the started the post), did anyone go to read the fiction of the people who left the reviews? Honestly, some people think that anything is well written. Then other people (Megan Consoer - and she appears to have clones now) insist on leaving an "I like your story, update soon" on everything.

    I know it can be frustrating to spend time doing something and not get any good response (or any response) when you finally put it out there for review, but there are published authors who have that problem too.

    Hits are my response. If people have read it, then I'm happy. I'd be happier with reviews and ratings, but beggars can't be choosers.

  5. The one time I wrote a review for someone who seemed promising, but substituted a thesaurus for imagination, the author deleted my review and added comments to her/his profile that only served to further my point. I'm not going to bother writing reviews here anymore. Honestly, you should make it impossible for authors to remove reviews except by request. If the review is objectively bad/poorly written/out of place/spam, then the mods can remove it. If it's just something the author doesn't want to hear, tough shit. That would take a lot of time and effort though, and I'm not sure anybody would want to deal with the hassle. I sure wouldn't and wouldn't blame you for not wanting to either.

    As far as my writing goes, the only thing I care about is viewers. We're not writing great works of literature here, audience is really the only thing that matters, and the more I see the more I know people are reading and enjoying my work. Seeing that 7000+ people have read one of my stories (if you guys use unique IPs for stats) makes me happy, even if only 19 of them have bothered to take the time to even rate it (lazy fuckers).

  6. Title: Power Job

    Author: Jeeezits

    Summary: Power Girl is involved in blackmail at home and shenanigans in the office.

    Rating: Adult+

    Pairings: Power Girl and any ordinary man within range, sort of...

    Spoilers: Not really any, although you should be reading the current Power Girl comic from DC to get the most out of this. I highly recommend it, it's a lot of fun and Amanda Conner's art is fantastically expressive.

    Feedback: Plz?

    I see a lot of manga and anime on here, but not as much Western stuff. I've enjoy comics from the US and Japan for a long time; heck, manga was what tided me over between the childish superhero comics of my youth and the decent mature graphic novels like Blankets and Bone I finally found once I was older. Had it not been for manga showing me that comics didn't have to be all schlocky cape stuff, (*he types to promote a superhero fanfic* :D ) I wouldn't still be interested in them.

    I hope some people who might not have ordinarily enjoyed a comic fanfic get a schlickkick out of this.
