Comment/Review:
Well, dear kitten,
so that was all intended as humor, but you just wasnt able to make that fact clearly understood? What does that say about your magnificient writing abilities, I wonder?!
About Tinni, well FF.net is only a sort of second mirror for her I believe, since her main story "Dragonball SC" has an own site where all her other works are stored as well. Apart from some who are stored at Adimras Forever II, I believe.
Still one good A/U of of many thousand DB-stories on FF.net doesnt strike me as very impressive. And while Tinnis "Vejitasei" is good, it is still far from outstanding.
I dont think you have read "Vejitasei Ascendant" in the meantime, right? Maybe that would have upped your standards a little bit. If you cant obtain an Aestethicism ID tell me so and I might send you a Zip-Archive of that story so that you can judge for yourselve.
Hm, if you are so a big fan of V/B that you cant endure the knowledge about the existence of thousands of bad V/B-Stories on the net, you might want to produce some good ones to even the ratio a bit, or perhaps read some of the better ones. Go to Adimras Forever II and try "Chains and Chackles" for example.
I usually simply decide to ignore the bad stories.
Oh and the fact remains that most of your comments are neither very original nor very funny. If you find someone who can earnestly laugh about that stuff, I believe you have found another mental case. Kind of an achievement, huh?
Greetings

Very cute! I agree. Although I thought I'd add one more: What's with the three year period? Every one I've read that gets a 5 or below on 1-10 scale has things happening in the three year period without taking into account before and after that period. Vegeta doesn't actually admit to being "fond" of Bulma till 7 years after the three year period. And before that...doesn't she think he's attractive and he thinks she's attractive? What's with all the acting like these thoughts are new or unwanted. He's the Prince of the Siayans, and like you said, not a virgin. He can be attracted to her if he wants to. Same goes with her. He may be a jerk, but he's a durn good-looking one! Anyways, that's all. Thanks for the pointers. Where'd the bond thing come from anyway? And what's with the tail being an erotic spot? | Reviewed By: Firaga [MediaMiner Member] On: December 08, 2001 21:53 EST

oh man :) as a v/b fic writer, i TOTALLY agree with everything you wrote!
sometimes i just can't help but use all those "common" scenarios! lets
just say it's what they would most likely be doing in our twisted little
minds :) you have just inspired me to think of something new...! | Reviewed By: yalin On: December 08, 2001 18:59 EST

ok, so you've made some good points. To be quite honest, some of the same repition in the stories are starting to annoy the hell out of me too. But as one reader said, writers have got to start somewhere. Although it would be nice to see something different and original in a story now a days, but yeah, i wouldn't go and critize other people's talents. | Reviewed By: Jaques Rico On: December 08, 2001 15:22 EST

Obviously Felidae is neither a good author nor a good critic. Well, Iam not so sure about her abilities in the author-department, but as a critic she has some very week (non)logical thought chains.
For example, why should it not happen in an A/U-Fic, that Bra and Goten or Trunks and Pan are closer agewise? Has she perhaps trouble in understanding the difference between an A/U and a continuation?
Another example: all the babbling about being evil in chapter 3 point 5. Evil or good are just biased viewpoints, and far from absolute. Is a human evil because he kills a mice? Or perhaps a super novae when it destroys some planets? A taliban when he bites an american "hero"?
I would recommend to Felidae (and some of the other clowns who have written reviews here) to read "Vejitasei Ascendant" and Lisalus "A Glad Day" just to give them some impressions about how a really good A/U should be. Of course, the two epics cannot be found a FF.net. :) But then to find something really good among the stuff at FF.net seems allways an exception never a rule. | Reviewed By: nanaseven [MediaMiner Member] On: December 08, 2001 14:57 EST

This is a review primarily for the third part about A/U stories. Now, I agree with pretty much everything you mentioned. I'm not a fan of A/U fics at all, so it kind of worries me when I know exactly what you're talking about but have read very few of the said fics. Sadly, like most B/V fics, you read one, you read them all. Oh well. But what I disagree about with you is the part about Radditz. Sure, he's a bad guy in DBZ and he does end up killing Gokou, but I think he just has bad negociating skills. No, really, Radditz is not a very well-developed character; he was sent to Earth probably by Vejiita's order to get his younger brother back. Whether he really cared about Kakarotto or was just filling out orders is unknown. What I'm saying is that Rad is a "flat character" and it is the fanfiction author's jobs to make him a "round" character. And if that means making him good, so be it. We like Saiyajins and if they're all bad they'll likely to be killed off...
You should read some of Dragoness Eclectic's fics. You can find her at FF.N under that name or at this website [http://www.republicofnewhome.org/lair/writing/dbzfanfics.html]
Besides that (heh) you make some good points. I look forward to what you write up next!

Its true, gosh this fanfic was an excellent one, and well had a lot more impact that I even thing you possibly know, I remember this was one of the first fics I read that I couldn't stop laughing about. | Reviewed By: Ember [MediaMiner Member] On: December 05, 2001 15:56 EST

Lmao, that was really funny i especially liked number 7 of the B/V i was rolling around the floor on that one. Ember freely admits that she has fallen into a few of those traps, but i still think that as long as they're not dwelt on then the occasional lapse is ok. If you have got more to show then woohoo great! Let us see them and boo hiss to ff.net for taking this off. Sorry ff.net i still love ya really don't take my fics off too! Hehehe maybe you sould do the no no's of reviewing, cause i could sure use some help :) | Reviewed By: zekintha On: December 03, 2001 06:57 EST

I think that you've hit the hammer on the proverbial head of the nail in many of the flaws that accompany so many of the stories found at MediaMiner.Org and FanFiction.Net. But let's not forget the average age demographic of the people posting the stories here. This is a deliberately amateur forum to post works, gather critiques, and hopefully overcome-in time- the very problems that plague so many aspiring writers. I think I can truthfully say that I, and so many of us more 'Mature' writers, started out with the same predictable, annoying, bothersome plot threads that you've elaborated on. I especially liked the sarcasm of your rant. I just hope that no young writers get discouraged by the tone of it. We all have to start somewhere... | Reviewed By: Dryad Chick On: November 29, 2001 20:23 EST

Very, very funny! And I agree with you on MOST parts. Some parts are just essential to the plot, though a little originality helps immensely. But very funny points. | Reviewed By: majinsk8rvegeta [MediaMiner Member] On: November 29, 2001 11:54 EST
