Did I? My sincerest apologies. I'll get right on that.
...but, but Pen... he said so! Three times! No, four! He can't be wrong!
readingchick, I'm a bit intrigued by your story now... despite the fact that I hate both Shelke and Nero.

readingchick, I'm a bit intrigued by your story now... despite the fact that I hate both Shelke and Nero. I'm flattered that you're intrigued by my story despite your hatred of the leads, but which one are you referring to? Overformality or Never Too Late?

Uh... both? I dunno, I might just check out one or the other... or both.

Go for "Overformality," and then "Never Too Late." Why? Iunno, just because.
And I'm glad to hear that me calling you nuts makes you smile, readingchick. :D

Oh, I do so love Overformality. That one instantly went on my favorites list. That's why I keyboard smashed when I suddenly recognized you, dahling. 'Cause I think you're a great writer with a ton of potential.
EDIT: Jeez, I just realized that's, like, three people who listed some of my reviews (or fan-ism in the case of readingchick) on here. I feel sort of...flattered, in a way.

I don't usually leave reviews, so it's doubtful I'll ever be quoted here. Except I do fanishly worship any and everything posted by Mengde. I think it shows. *points to his signature line*I'd quote my best review, only I don't have enough of them yet.

@kaj: I hope you enjoy them if you do decide to give them a whirl. Just be mindful that NTL is currently having an extensive rewrite planned, so what you see now isn't necessarily what you'll be getting later on. @ Koky: I live for being called nuts. Seriously, though, I love that review and I really have to remember to print it out and stick it on my wall where I can see it every day. I went around with a dopey grin on my face all day after getting it. @ Pen: ...Whoa. That's... that's a major compliment, right there. That is also going on my list of 'things I have to print out and stick on my wall'. (Also, I owe you a long review for 'The Strong, Silent Type'... I will go type that out as soon as I'm done with this post.) @ Vulcan: You do give excellent crit, though. And your saying that I had the potential to be excellent with work and practice - that was really uplifting. Thanks.

I couldn't ask y'all. I can barely stand asking for a beta here, much less "reviewplx ilu?"
Everybody's too intimidating. So I'm just gonna have a seat, right over there.

These three reviews actually came from people on here... Woot for that. Toxicology/1/koky/ I can kind of see where you were trying to go with this SaI, because it's a cool concept, but I don't think it fit too well in this. I will say, though, that Yuffie's cheeky wit was exactly what I would expect of her. The same goes for Reno's admant claim of being an uncaring killer. But... Yuffie's a ninja, yes, but she's also a goofy kid. It seems rather unlikely (to me) to have her as the dangerous type, and more so to have Reno be susceptible to any ploy of hers. Also, there were a few typos here and there, but nothing overly noteworthy. Hope my concrit wasn't too harsh, SaI. ^^ ~Koky (After this, I decided to kill all thoughts of ever writing het again. But that's okay. Never liked it much, anyway. ) -- Annnnnnd. Toxicology/1/PEN his was wonderful. Aside from the couple of typos I let you know about, you pulled it off perfectly. Reno's characterization and Yuffie's characterization were spot on, especially Reno's, which was exactly what I was looking for. You brought it in with a bang with the first line and the last line was a great way to close it, summing their relationship up perfectly. The touch with the Wutaian berries and "straight from the bottle" was an interesting little cultural tidbit you added there. Gritty, awesome, going on my favorites list. Also, come ON! You big baby, it's not THAT bad. Writing something involving romance and implied sex between the owner of a thingy and the owner of a girl thingy can't be that torturous. IT'S HAWT AND U NO IT LOLOLOLOL. Besides, I'm writing implied Reno/Rufus because of you, so you totally deserve this. *nyah* (No, Pen. It was like shoving glass under my fingernails. I promise. But, I did get a good laugh out of it, however.) -- ONE LAST --OKAY... Two... Melody of Agony/1/Pied Oh, I like the twist, I thought it was a woman's PoV at first. The present tense slips near the end - 'Tseng sighed...', but otherwise it's good, very stark and brutal in its realism. Which leads me to... shouldn't this be rated M? It's written well, but the content kinda squicked me. (Ooops. Really hadn't meant to squick Pied out. Though, I have to admit that I felt a little pleased. I mean, when someone says that your writing squicked them out, it's like a mega plus. But, I didn't want to make any more people uncomfortable... so I bumped the rating up... Alas, this taught me that no matter what, if there is any chance that peopel will be bothered, just put it in M. Then they can't complain.) -- ONE LAST ONE! Amor Vincit Omnia/1/Costa Oh, Sai, I *love* it. It came out wonderfully! (*Musses up hair* Daw. Thank ye, Costa-pants!)

Reviews I particularly liked, taken from my deconstruction (definition here) of a Kingdom Hearts High School AU Circles in the Dirt: Any Kingdom Hearts fic I write is an excuse for me to binge on geeky trivia pertaining to three awesome fandoms. Also, any humor I put into a chapter is usually contrasted with a swing into drama. *points to above* It feels weird to know my ability to make people say this spans not only fanfiction, but cosplay as well.

My gawd, Sai, nooo! D: I didn't mean to murder your inspiration to write het. I just happen to favor a more goofy Yuffie. Disregard my nonsense and continues, pleaze. ;_;
@sixth: Intimidating? C'mon, we're all dorks, here, Sixth! :D

Oh, gawd, we're all in the same boat, I'm not worthy either, srsly. No matter what Pen says.
...*e-tacklehugs Kenzie*
I don't review nearly enough. I always remind myself to, and if I read a great story I'll think, what an awesome story! But I won't review it. I'm usually embarrassed by my reviews. The stories I usually really want to review are the absolutely fantastic ones that really don't need much concrit, so I instead turn into a gushing mass of fangirl. Hopefully the new review button (but why is it not purple!?) will prompt me to leave a review from time to time.

'You guys'? You're confuzzled, readingchick. You mean this one (^) and all others besides me. :p
So c'mon, Sixth, dabble in the ludicousy that is all of us, for we are all awkward! :D You have no excuse now, don't argue. -_-
@la: Iknowrite? It was worse before when all the purple was just bland white space, though. Glickering green is cool, so I settled. :B
