You need to keep in mind that the Japanese culture already has rich associations, and as long as you're playing in a fandom that is at heart Japanese, you need to remember that. The readers don't want to see something entirely new. Adapt the traditional and add a small twist, but don't try and marry tribal ritual to Japanese concubinage. It's impossibly contradictory.

Welcome to AFF! Enjoy reading, and try to leave a few reviews for some of our wonderful authors.

If you can't research, then stick to what you know firsthand. Readers are turned off by lack of knowledge, especially otaku readers who delve into Japanese history and culture because they love the Naruto fandom.

Glad to have you with us!

Here, we call that constructive criticism, and I for one adore it. We define flaming as an attack that is not related to the story, but becomes a personal assault on the author. Pretty much what the hardcore fans in your example would be doing, and we don't tolerate that here.

The author was sour_grape. I'm not showing any record of staff action for this author or that story in particular, so my assumption is that the author removed the story.

Seriously! I found one who'll see me next week, and came highly recommended as well.

It really burns my ass when you call to make an appointment with a doctor, and they give you a date over 2 months away. Really? So, I guess using the emergency department as a primary care center is okay now?

My pleasure!
