Subject: [FFML] Re: [C&C request] Is anyone out there actually reading this stuff?

First, I would like to say that if you dislike

fanfiction you should not be here. This list is for

FAN fiction, not ORIGINAL fiction and so 'Bakayarou'

was out of place to begin with.



Secondly, I did not C&C 'Bakayarou' because I did not

like it. I do not like to C&C things I actively

dislike on the grounds that ripping something apart

for no reason, without any points of favour, does no

good whatsoever. 



But I will say this:

1) the story would work *MUCH* better in manga form.

It seems to rely heavily on visuals and that is

something scripts, no matter how detailed, just can't

convey.



2) the story in itself seems rather conventional. Boy

hero is unbearably attractive to the opposite sex for

no discernable reason (Tenchi Effect, cf also Ranma,

Mizuhara Makoto, et al), goes to train with peverted

old master (Dragonball, Ranma, Rurouni Kenshin) and

must compete for his place against stock rivals (who

you may as well have named Kunou, Ryouga and Jinpei).

I advise that you work with your premise further.



In short, I have no desire whatsoever to read this

story in its current form and storyline.

I believe in dragons, unicorns, good men

and other mythical creatures.
