Thanks for my first review Venus. It's much appreciated.

TOTP Dance (fanfic release version)

Hi everyone. I’ve only just started to visit PEEL, and looking back over the last few pages it’s a good job I did. I would like to apologise to anyone who was in any way offended by The Longest Journey Home Part 1: it was not my intention. The idea was to put a positive spin on fidelity and safe sex: probably a bit ambitious for my first attempt, I admit. So I’m off to take a long look at Part 2...   

[Reply #202 on:]

i liked TLJH.

[Reply #203 on:]

I have just finished reading Allen's "The How of Fry", and I found it to be a very clever and interesting story. 
Well done, Allen.

[Reply #204 on:]

Thank you. My god, I think this is more reviews than I've gotten in my entire career. Thanks to all who take the time to review. It is appreciated.

[Reply #205 on:]

Allen, THOF: Nice work. You dropped some clever ideas in there. And I liked the way Morbo and Linda were actually part of the story, instead of just being used to provide information to the reader. Ever thought of using that view of Linda as an ambitious investigative reporter as a fic backbone? I can’t remember anyone going down that route before.

Farnsworth38's, The Longest Journey Home part 2, is up at TLZ now.  I really liked the second part.  We get to learn more about the (non)relationship between Leela and Fry, and I like the way that the story is progressing.  The reasons that have been shown for Leela not being in a serious way with Fry are very logical, and fits with her character.  I'm anxiously awaiting part 3.

Oh yeah, if there's any similarities with my own fic, I didn't really notice, to busy reading.

(Various zombie voices: Must read more, must read more. Brains. Brai[smack] um, must read more.   

[Reply #207 on:]

i read that brains one allen made, i must say it was good, got kinda boring, and illogical in parts, but good non the less.

also, longest journey home is very good. i helped edit it, and i hope to help edit any more installments to that great fic.

farnswoth38, you are a very talented writter, keep up the good work.

[Reply #208 on:]

aw man, looks like i missed hulluvalot on vacation. allen's fic, first up at bat! then all the others!

Pardon moi, but it does have a name, "The How of Fry." Use it, it sounds so much better than "That brains one Allen made."

Boring and illogical? Hmm, interesting that no one else has said these things. So what was illogical? And not every moment can be packed with action, you've got to do some boring stuff too.

So thanks for the review. Now, if you'll pardon me, I'm going to go laugh hysterically for a hour at something that strikes me funny. Ciao!

[Reply #210 on:]

Farnsworth, you're my hero!  *hugs*

Edit:  Hey Allen, all the parts with Kateg were illogical   

[Reply #211 on:]

  Oh no!  The evil Kateg is making us stupid!

...

Ahahaha 
I was actually pretty slow picking up on that...but anyway, I really loved the story.  It made perfect sense to me 

[Reply #212 on:]

FemJessie: Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or truthful. You're laughing so have you discovered something funny about that? 

[Reply #213 on:]

I was definitely trying to be funny.  I must suck at it.  Good thing I'm not a comedian or I'd starve to death.

[Reply #214 on:]

yes...yes you would....

[Reply #215 on:]

you really have nothing else to do with your time, do you Getak? For someone who has 'moved on to bigger and better things' you sure do like to hang around here and be annoying. Shouldn't you be trolling around on the message board of your new fav show? Or have they kicked you out already?

[Reply #216 on:]

Wow. GHT, never have I been so quickly put off by a fan fic.   

I won't bother reviewing it as I only read the first 'chapter'.

But from what I read you could stand to be a bit less 'long-winded' (Unless you already fixed this in following chapters...)
Example:
FRY: Oh man! What a nightmare! We were so close to finally being happy, but like that
the one thing that could have gotten Leela
to love me is gone, DESTROYED! And by none
other than Leela herself! Well that is it!
There has to be another way to win Leela’s heart, and I just have to find it!

Way to long! I don't think Fry has ever said so much at any one time. except maybe 'Future Stocks'

This would probly be better:
FRY: There has to be another way to win Leela’s heart, and I just have to find it!

All that blah blah explaining what already happened isn't nessicary. Most people reading the fics already know the score.   

I'll be back later with a review for Mitch's 'Robo-Leela'   
 

Leela: I feel disoriented. And I'm...having trouble remembering some things.

Fry: Like,...what I just told you?

Leela: What was it?
this would be better as :
Leela just looks at Fry in a confused manner.
it sounds funny if she actualy asks what he said.

Fry: (disappointed) Um, never mind.

I think the hair bit was a little weird, but
Overall it was alright. All of the characters acted pretty much in character, though they never realy did anything noticable. The whole story had them reacting to things that happen to them. I would suggest writing where they take an active role in the story. Like, for example, instead of Susan Showing up at the PE, the crew investigates and finds her name on a ripped peice of paper, and after a city wide search finds her apartment.

5/7 = Good

[Reply #217 on:]

i finished reading allen's "The How Of Fry" it's very, very good.  very well structured.  i'm just wondering if my next fic will be too simular...no, don't worry, it won't.  well, a good read.  and what a miracle- i understood it! hehe, great job there allen, all your fics rock

[Reply #218 on:]

Your fic was awesome, Allen.  Of course, that's to be expected. 

[Reply #219 on:]

*tears up*
FINALLY! somebody who actually reviewed my stories for more than the so called plagerizm!

thank you OH THANK GOD somebody actually posted something about it!

and yes, in later chapers i DID shorten the dialogue. i never sent parts 1-4 to be edited by anyone, and hell, i never got around to even proofreading some of them either!

but thank you edrik for actually reading my stories and comenting on a matter other than plagerizm. i feel great that somebody comented on the story and not what it was made up of...you have really made my night, thank you!

[Reply #220 on:]

Um, I think he said he only read the first chapter and that it sucked. And I think I've been telling you what I found wrong not that it matters because you don't listen. Hehe

Before you go into Super Happy Mode .. he said "Wow. GHT, never have I been so quickly put off by a fan fic.

I won't bother reviewing it as I only read the first 'chapter'." 

This means he never actually read the story beyond Chapter One.  Learn to read as well as write, it might do you some good.

[Reply #222 on:]

Part 3 of Missy's Delicious Surprise is up at TLZ now, and it's turning out great.  It's set in the future, but she has the characters down pat, and I think it's a great story.  I like the way that it's progressing, and am looking forward to seeing more. 

Must go now, too busy reading.

[Reply #223 on:]

i DO know how to write well and read good! hope you know that was a grammar joke,

and i was happy with the fact they reviewed the story and didn't give the old "you copied everyone! i hate your story" line. even if they didn't like it, it shows that some people can look beyond the plagerizm and say something about the story itself, unlike anyone else here *caugh*allen*caugh*

yeah, that's about it. just happy about a story review, and not the age old plagerizm accusation.

Maybe the reason no one seems to look beyond the plagiarism is that there is nothing else there. You take away all that you copied and you lose over half your story.

You want a review? Your story could stand to be a lot better. God, I can't even read the first few chapters because the characters sound different when they talk. (I suffered through them one time, but I won't read them again.

You have this annoying habit of killing off characters you don't like. I don't like Cubert, but did I kill him? No, he just wasn't there because he wasn't essential to my plot.

What was the point of forcing Fry to have sex with the Amazonians again? The point was very ill explained and I cannot see how procreating with them could help matters.

I think it's stupid to mention Stargate SG1 in your fic. That's a sure way of telling the idea's not yours. Most of your story is confusing and irrational. Especially your dimension travelling part. What was the idea behind that? Let's cram as many dimensions as possible into one part?

Long story short, I could sit here and rattle off every little thing I found wrong, but I think it's enough to say your story gets a big fat F. That is comparing it with every fic I've ever read. I'd rather read one of Zapp's Woman's stories and until you came along they had the lowest rating. I'm proud to pass the honor onto you.

Now that I've reviewed your story, I have a request. GO AWAY! The day you leave we'll have a party! We'll have a blast. (shakes head) If only you knew, if only. But I promised myself you'd never find out. It probably wouldn't matter if you knew anyway. I will tell you this. When I invited you to discuss your story, I didn't expect you. Now I truly regret that invitation and I truly regret my decision. All you've done is piss on us all and our beloved show. So, I'm done. This is over. I hope someone gives you swift kick in various places on the way out. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Last Shot was really good and quite entertaining. It took some getting used to Romanticorp as evil, but the author pulled it off well. I say to this author, I can't wait to read more from you.

[Reply #226 on:]

Why does this remind me of a scene from Futurama............

GHT: I'm tired of your yapping! All you ever do is complain, you never try to look beyond my stealing! Well I'm running away from this dead end place! I know there's a place for people like me with old ideas! There has to be?!!
PEEL: Fine, get going!
GHT: Oh I'm going! You're gonna be all "Where's Getak? I miss Getak!!"
PEEL: We won't know that until you leave!
GHT: Oh, I'm leaving!
PEEL: There's the door.
GHT: …………………………I'll be good.

[Reply #227 on:]

"Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles", of course!  That's my favorite episode.  I attempted a parody of that scene between child Bender and Farnsworth myself a couple of weeks ago in the "Why Leela flirts with Fry" thread.  Here it is:

Well, they did slaughter all of those Lovey Bears.  And they were generally annoying.

ok fine i am a horrible author and i hate my work, you win.

[Reply #231 on:]

hey i just finished reading Kryten's: "Looking for snu-snu in all the wrong places" & "Amy's wedding" parts 1,2,3 & 4,
and i really want to say: You are an awsome author Kryten 

[Reply #232 on:]

Kif White's Universe of Malice, chapter 13 is up at TLZ.  First off, I have to say, like all of the previous chapters, this was a great story, the characters are really fleshed out, and they seem to be working well together.  I should say though, this story has some fairly gory bits to it, though in the context, they make sense, and belong there.  The characters are in a fight to the death, and, as in real fights, people do get hurt, and worse.  I know what I'm talking about (war vet).  That said, you should not concentrate on all of the violence, but look at it from the big picture, and the story's p.o.v. 

This is a great chapter, and an excellent story, and I think that members here should read it, as it does what all good stories do, makes you feel emotions for the characters within it.

 Kif White, I salute you, for a great piece of storytelling, because you made me feel sympathy for the folks there, and whetted my appetite for what comes next.

[Reply #233 on:]

really good kif white.

[Reply #234 on:]

Chapter 13 was the best chapter so far.  It felt like you really weere in the story in the action parts.  also it was done emotionally, too.  i loved this chapter.  one thing, though; i don't like Alesia very much.

[Reply #235 on:]

i'm not a big Alesia fan either. It's not that i dislike her, i guess i just resent her for trying to get between Fry and Leela.

[Reply #236 on:]

First of all, thanks to everybody for all the kind comments. 

Secondly, Alesia seriously appears to be one of those love/hate characters. I've had comments ranging from saying she's one of the best original fanfic characters, to ones saying they want her killed off immediately. 

[Reply #237 on:]

yeah, i don't dislike her, in fact i think she's actually one of the best original fanfic characters, but like Venus, i don't like how she gets in between fry and leela and how her regular attitude is. i tend to dislike people who think about suicide for some reason.  but don't get me wrong, you write her in the story well (if that makes sense)

[Reply #238 on:]

i'm intrigued by charactors that think about suicide. That's a very dark emotional place to be in and i like reading about stuff thats dark and emotional.

[Reply #239 on:]

Delicious Surprise part 4 is up at TLZ, and I have to say, I was very impressed.  I wish that I had as good a handle on the characters as Missy does.  She made Leela come to life for me, and had her act in a way that was a little shippy, but not overtly so.  I think that this is currently one of the better fanfics out there.

Well, what are y'all waiting for, get over there and start reading.  Bhali ga yo!
