Wherein me and other people across the globe whom people hate proceed to rip fics to threads and kill their main characters. We hate fics like that, oh yes.
They’re an organisation that goes around setting canon right by killing all who dare insert themselves by way of brutally killing them in a variety of ways.
And I’ll comment properly after I read it all, but SFSG.
Newbies will make mistakes, and that’s alright in my eyes, you can’t be a regular at once. So chill sephiroth, there’s no harm done, and I took no offence by anything you said since there was none there as far as I saw

1…nah…you meant 2… no you meant 1…no you meant 2… ARGH… whatever…
By the way… has anybody read my fic?? [/b]
I am giving your fic a try, but that was way out of context.
Yes, I’m reading it now, starting with rereading chapter one more closely. I love this line:
“Great. even my grandpa expects me to be like dad. almighty gunblade warrior…sigh…I should have been born a duck or something.”
There seems to be a problem with punctuation, but on that I’m guessing that ff.net’s uploading messed with some of your “…”. I’ve seen that happen before.
It’s a nice one, though I’m currently wondering where Squall and the others are.
At first, I was rather worried that it would be a Mary Sue/Gary Stuart (self-insertion with superpowers), but it’s clearly not the case with all the mistakes the characters do.
Apart from the punctuation there’s some capital letter errors here and there which you might want to look out for if you rewrite/reupload stuff, like:
“Ok, hold on to yer Asses boys!”
No need for capital A there in asses. And when you write “Ok”, both letters should be capital; “OK”, since it’s short for okay. Preferably though, write “Okay” and not only the short.
Also, try not to repeat yourself too much, like in chapter one when Ralafen and Sifan fought. It was a nice battle, but try not to just use their names all the time. Work around that, for example with short descriptions such as “the redhaired warrior” and so on. Here as well:
“We are inside the lower deck of the ship. Monsters have infested the ship everywhere including the upper deck. We are afraid we will be trapped here unless the ship is cleared of monsters. There is a broken oar on the left side of the ship. Please park your hovercrafts there, as it is nearest to the part of the ship where we are stranded. Under the ship head are a few items that may be of use to you.”
Yea, I ditto the ships part, that’s crazy. It’s similar to when I was a kid and my teacher wrote a paragraph on the board to explain how commas are used, and that instead of using the word “and” over and over again, you could use a comma.
Write stuff up in MSWord, and utilize the synonym function. Believe me, it’s awfully handy.
