Apparently I have the power to make whole fanfictions disappear. Before putting up my own story last night, I went in search of some to read so I could get a lil inspiration. (No luck; for once I happen to be the first one to put up something decent.) I came across one who's summary was very deceitful in making me think the story wouldn't be a piece of crap.
It was... it was about my favorite lil bushbaby... Well, let's say it was more like watching the Discovery Channel.
No really! It wasn't like watching playboy or something, it was literally like reading a frikken Zoobook.
And boy did I let him have it in the review box.
Cause that IS what the review box is for, and it ultimately is abused and ignored for its intended purpose.
And that's what I said in a nutshell... I hope you can take this advice in the spirit I'm giving it and not pass it off as a flame right away...
Then I let him have it: the subject matter is WEIRD, it has nothing to do with Kung Fu Panda, you have no reason for the audience to keep reading, your grasp on plot is loose at best. And I added at the end just to be nice that that the writing flows nice, so he has potential, so don't quit writing.
That was at 3 am. It's now 11:30 am and the fic's been deleted since 8.
Not that I'm complaining that the abomination is now gone...
But apparently I don't know my own strength :P

So go read MY fic. It's a cute lil oneshot that won't take much of your time.
I focused really hard on my prose here for some reason... I was really going for something that sounded pretty and I think it turned out pretty good.
