As nice as you seem for a newbie, this is not the right way to start a thread, and your first one I think too.

Before doing anything with your fic, please make sure you grammar- and spell-check it. Your posts are giving me eye cancer. There are to ways of posting your fic. First, if your format looks pretty much like this: Fry: How come when I want to fun stuff that'll kill me you're always against it? Leela: This is more important than that marble-eating contest, Fry. ...or... Fry was confused by what he perceived to be Leela's uncharacteristic support of dangerous activities among her friends. He wondered about the many times she had saved him from prematurely terminating his own existence. These thoughts drained away, however, as the memories of all of her rejections of his love flooded his consciousness. Now, instead of just being confused he was deeply hurt, distraught over her active neglect of his feelings. Oh, how he wished he could tell her this, but all he managed to say was, "How come when I want to do fun stuff that'll kill me, you're always against it?"
Leela could feel the anger in Fry's voice. She knew how he felt about her, and, on some level, she felt the same way, but Fry was being immature, and it had to stop. She didn't want it to stop for good, mind you. Fry's child-like innocence was charming and a welcome change of pace from many of the other men that had breezed in and out of her life, but any romance would have to wait until she fulfilled her lifelong ambition through Bender's success. She would hae to shoot Fry down again, and Leela wanted to do it as tactfully as possible so as not to damage Fry's gossamer feelings, but the heat of the exchange overwhelmed her and she snapped back condescendingly, "This is more important than that marble-eating contest, Fry." (I swear to god, if your fic looks like this melodramatic hogwash, I will punch you in the ovaries)...then your best bet is to just post it in segments directly in this thread. This is the most common method of getting fanfics on PEEL. Second, if your story uses a format most commonly associated with screen- and teleplays or some other, crazy formatting system, it might be best to convert it to an HTML file, host it with any of the myriad of free hosting websites across the net, and link to the files in the thread. That's what I did ( Example and gratuitous plug) because I was using a program that automatically locked me into script format.

Hate you??? Who said that we hate you Jubei. I only said that I didn’t have the time to help you with your fic. Also I thought that I gave you a clear explanation about how to write your fic here on PEEL. I realy think that Tongue Luck did a great thing when she linked your fic for you. Jubei, don’t say that we hate you! No one here ever said that. (I think… Maybe I’m wrong? But I never said that!) We’re all deferent and we act all differently. Anyway, I must go now. My break time is over.

It's not fair to say I hate your story, jubei. I hadn't even read your story until TL posted those links. I was genuinely trying to help you because I wanted to read your story. Thanks to TL's understanding of what you meant, I have now read your story and am willing to post my thoughts on it. Before I do, however, I need the answers to two questions that should always be asked if the answers are ambiguous. - Are you under fifteen years of age?
- Is English your primary language?

I'm going to be really honest with you, jubei. Your story is confusing as hell. It's like you wrote another story and you just threw the Futurama characters' names onto them. Unless there is a preface or prequel or some other backstory that was never brought to my attention, you've asked your readers to assume an awful lot right from the outset. You never mention who the "priest of fire" is. You don't explain why Leela is suddenly the daughter of a queen on planet Amazonia. I don't understand how Fry came to be from Japan or why he has swords or when his parents gave him the cloaking device for those swords. From a technical standpoint, some of your writing is cumbersome and difficult to read. Cases in point: From Part 6 It has been two weeks since that fateful day and it was now morning of the first week. Cumbersome. After re-reading it seems like you're refering to a three-week period and the day in question is the first day of the third week, but when I first read it, it seemed like you were referring to two different times at once. From Part 1 but instead of continents there are island's that are about the same size as earth's continents Can you explain the difference between continent-sized islands and continents themselves or is this strangely worded as a joke? From Part 3 ...unconscious sleep... As opposed to what? Is this another joke? Your spelling is also pretty bad. I suggest that you take a good, hard look at whatever force in the Universe you use to check your spelling. If English is your first language and you're over 15, you shouldn't be making many of the simple mistakes that dot the chicken paprikash of your fanfic like so many red flecks of paprika. Like I said, the story reads like an anime fantasy fanfic that uses the names of Futurama characters without actually using those characters. My advise is go balls out one way or the other. It is my opinion is that Futurama and anime are mutually exclusive.
