I agree it's hard to swallow your pride and take concrit. But if you want to improve as a writer, you need to be able to put your emotions to the side and analyze your work more objectively than that. Needing to improve does not make you a failure. Allowing concrit to turn you away from even trying is failure, because you've let yourself become defined by what you are (a writer) as opposed to WHO you are.

Well, there's honest self deprecation, and there's the rather obvious fishing for compliments sort of self deprecation. I'm not inclined to indulge the latter, because they'll only treat honest concrit as a flame and flounce off, and the former is rarer than Sturgeon's 10%.

As an American, I find it just as jarring and off-putting. And honestly, if you've read all of the books as avidly and repeatedly as many of the authors seem to have done, there really is no excuse for superimposing American cultural norms on a story set in England. No one is asking you to study the entirety of British history and develop an urgent need to take tea at Brown's. Just use the terminology that Ms. Rowling oh-so-helpfully uses already in her books.

My pleasure!

Hi! It's pretty specific about the format. You need it to be YYYY-MM-DD. If your month of birth or date of birth is 1 through 9, you need to put a 0 in front...

Then what I drafted up, or something on that line, works! Just put in the names of the actual animes, and you're good!

Hey, kags! Okay, you definitely need to disclaim all four anime series as well as Battle Royale. Your bet best is to put: "See full disclaimer in Chapter 1" in the disclaimer field. Than, in chapter 1, you should have something like this: "I do not own [Anime 1], [Anime 2], [Anime 3], [Anime 4] and Battle Royale, I make no profit from this story." I'm going to add one caveat... if you use any of the actual actors from the movie of Battle Royale in your fic, you need a Celebrity disclaimer. If that's the case, let me know and I'll tell you what you need.

Hi! You actually don't need to disclaim the song. You DO need to cite it, and that's easier. To cite the song, if you're using the lyrics in your chapter, you make a footnote at the bottom of the chapter that can read something like this: Lyrics taken from "Rude Boy" by Rihanna. That's it, as far as citing song lyrics. Name the song and the artist in a footnote, so that everyone knows you;re not taking credit for those lyrics.
