  2. I Coulda Been A Contender...

    in Personal Rants & Journals

    Posted · Edited by RikuDrak

    I'm sorry but I feel like saying this. *cowers in fear of reprocussions*

    What you should do is wait it out until you don't feel so awful about it and go back and do editing. Heavy editing, if need be in some areas. It might even take a few edits over top each other.

    The key thing a lot of people misunderstand or forget is that raw writing is always that. Raw. My biggest peeve with a lot of fanfiction and original fiction is that people just submit their raw writing and move on. You're supposed to edit it, it even says in the submission guidelines that works submitted should be editted and not raw.

    Anyways, don't get down about it. Revise it as much as you need to :)

  13. Foreign Accents

    I guess really, the only people I know who love their own accent is British people. >> Honestly, I have a few British friends and they've actually said "Yeah, (Insert north, south, east, or west here) England accents suck, but the accent from where I'm from is the best." We argued for hours.

    My fiance isn't British and he always said his accent was awesome. I agreed though.

    Does someone actually liking the way they talk and where they're from bother you that much? Seems silly to me.

  22. Foreign Accents

    For English:

    British accents > American accents, to be honest. I'm sorry but American accents are too flat. And don't get me started on American southern accents XD

    (btw, I speak English with an American accent because I was born and raised there and while I hate it myself, my fiance just says "it's cute" and I can't figure out how)

    I also like Irish accents, but heavy German ones are pretty sweet too. It just sounds funny and nifty at the same time.

    For Dutch:

    Western accents bother me >.> I live in the east towards the south and people speak much softer here. Flemish acents are just... Peculiar XD

    Colonial dutch variations are scary to me.

    For Spanish:

    Sadly, my mother's own accent bothers me but I blame that on her never teaching me spanish when I was little and only learning it in school where the most influence comes from Mexico. The Spain Spanish accent isn't so bad, but Argentine spanish gets annoying with the "y" and "ll" sound always being "sh." Sounds like a lisp to me.

  23. Why Don't Women Seem To Realize...

    Well, to be honest, I feel cu-kid9 basically said it all. I agree and that's probably close to what I would have said.

    I'm an artist type and even I find it wierd that she'd go into a stranger's house and take off her shirt for a cheap line like that. I don't even begin to comprehend about it "feeling like a relationship." I never felt relationships were taking your shirt off for a stranger and having them stare, and it's quite a silly thing to say if she wants you to feel guilty about how you treat her or how your relationship is going.

    Unfortunately a fair amount of females are manipulative bitches that get off on making their partner feel horrible.

    That or, like my mother, she's creating some drama soap opera in her head about real life because she's unhappy with a normal or partially normal life.

  24. What Do You Look For In An Ideal Review?

    in Reviews

    Posted

    In depth constructive criticism. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Suggestions for improvement, that sort of thing. I usually start out with the bad and add the good later, but I think a lot more people want buttering up if they are going to hear what was wrong in their writing. I just don't like to cater to people who want ego-strokes :P
