Bzuh?
Letter format! Oh noes! Also, apologies for the rambling, I'm going on 20 minutes of sleep.
Dear Friend,
No, seriously. Cutting is not the only form of self-harm.
Off the top of my head, I can think of hair-pulling, burning, biting lips or the inside of the mouth, picking at the skin, drinking something harmful like poison, stabbing oneself with pencils or pens, etc. Apparently, though, these aren't 'edgy' enough for you. You wanted your character - let's call him J - to cut himself. Canonically, I think J would be far more likely to cope by either violently and messily slaying some random demon, or by being a complete prick to his friends and family (as that's what he's done several times), but let's say he did decide to self-injure. I suggest alternatives to cutting, you shoot me down because 'those arent really like cutting yourself cuz [insert bullshit excuse here]'. At this point I have a nagging feeling you're a lost cause, but I persevere.
You're doing it wrong. Your plot is cliched and overdone, complete with sparkly Mary Sue and her Vagina That Heals All Wounds. Sex isn't going to cure self-harming, I swear. I know you want to nail the fandom hottie, but this is not the way to do it. J wangsts and wangsts until he's blue in the face about what a bad person he is and how the only thing that makes him feel alive is watching himself bleed. Then I reached the seven - seven - paragraphs of how worried he is that someone will notice. Never mind that he's one of a group of demon hunters and they all have tons of scars and random injuries.
As a last ditch effort to redeem this fic, I come up with something that will make those seven painful paragraphs a moot point. In the world these books are set in, the demon hunters can draw runes onto their skin to give them powers. Drawing them hurts, and when they fade they leave scars. Not long ago when I was enjoying a nice stomach virus and wanted to make someone as miserable as I was, I used that idea on a different character and actually liked the way it came out. This character had a habit of repeatedly drawing the runes on even when he didn't need them as a sort of coping mechanism, and no one would ever find out because everyone else was covered with scars from these runes too. It was practically foolproof! So I suggest this to her.
'they dont use the runes for that. its just for powers'
*headdesk* Because no one ever uses anything for any reason other than its intended function.
That was the point where I invented a family function I had to attend and hightailed it out of there.
And if you ever tell me 'lol it doesnt really count as selfinjury unless u bleed tho' again, I'm going to come over there and throttle you, you ignorant twit.
Starting to reconsider our friendship,![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) spunglassstarsThe sad thing is, while I might expect that sort of stupidity from a sheltered middleschooler, this is a 20 year old college student. Sigh.

Sailor Moon nicknames: You're doing it wrong.
I sincerely doubt that, in a serious fic, Hotaru would refer to her three "mothers" as Titsuna, Whoreuka and Bitchiru.
Whenever you fail to label your crackfics as such, Setsuna gets run over by The Doctor's TARDIS. Please think of poor old Setsuna.
As a side rant, different fic, and non-crackfic... I just don't see Rei Hino calling anyone a "cuddly-poo." Using Rei and cuddly in the same sentence already goes against the laws of nature for me.

Character bashing (probably beating a dead horse)
Dear fanbrat,
you want to write a story in which Sora and Riku are a couple? You don't want Sora and Kairi to be together since you are a Riku/Sora shipper?
Hey, fine with me - I have no qualms about that...but I DO have troubles with unjustified character bashing.
In this story Sora hates Kairi because I hate her too. RikuxSora.
No, no, NO. You're doing in wrong.
Stop bashing characters just because you don't like them: this is not about what YOU think about Kairi, it is about what SORA thinks about her. You may not like Kairi, but Sora DOES. He cares for Kairi deeply, and he's ready to sacrifice himself for her just like he would do for Riku - she is his FRIEND, and he went through a lot of trouble to save her.
Changing something so important (last time I checked, Sora's affection for her was VERY important in the plot of KH) just because YOU don't like Kairi just makes no sense. Oh, and believe it or not, Sora doesn't have to hate Kairi in order to stay with Riku. They can still be friends, you know? Just saying.

Dear (many and varied) fanfiction writers, Please learn the difference between 'wandering' and 'wondering'. Hands, last time I checked, don't think, as that is a function reserved for the brain. I believe the word you were looking for was 'wander'. This is moving without definite purpose/objective. Whilst I'm on this particular page, how about learning the difference between 'they're', 'there' and 'their'? My seven-year-old cousin doesn't even mix these up. Please, for the love of all that's holy and wonderful (like chocolate), would you please, please, please use spellchecker before you post? Most browsers even have a spellchecker these days, so don't try and pull that excuse on me. If your spelling and grammar is that terrible that it makes your story almost impossible to read, may I suggest you get a beta? Sincerely, aikiariyenN.B. These particular people are not teenagers, or school-kids. They're fully-grown adults, some of whom have decades on me... also apologies, I'm sure this is a relatively frequent rant, but I needed to get it out before I tossed my monitor off the 18th floor.

Summary: this chapter kind of summarized itself.......wth
No, no it didn't. I have no idea what your chapter (or story) is about. I can guess, from the title, and the 'pairing' (which, by the way, I don't think 'a pairing that consist of five people....but this time one closer to the other' makes as much sense as you think it does, but I think I know what you're trying to get at).
But, see, this involves a lot of guesswork on my part, and other than vague guesses which have a high probability of being wrong (not to mention your abuse of ellipses) does not make me want to read your story at all.
This is a series. Not only do I not know what chapter you have just posted (please number them, thank you), I don't even know what your story - or that specific chapter - is about, and I don't want to look back through the community to find out.

Zutara Week Tags
Heya, katara_zuko! Zutara week appears to be well under way, and with a little more than a week left until the ULTIMATE SERIES FINALE YAY, it's incredibly heartening to see the comm bouncing* with such activity! That being said, I've created a special "zutara week 2008" tag for use on all Zutara Week entries, just so that lazy people (myself included) can find all the Zutara Week posts. So for the next few days, when y'all post your entries of win, please make sure to tag them! Enjoy your week, and celebrate your ship, and don't forget to play nice with the Maiko and Kataang kids (remember: what would Kung Fu Action Jesus do?), Mod Jade *this appears to beg some sort of "like Katara's S2 boobs" joke but I just can't quite bring myself to make it.

I do not think this was the intended effect.
I realize "Mana" is a commonly used term in fantasy stories, often to be synonymous with magic. It can refer to a character's magic power in general, to magical force of a given world, to the land, even to a Real-Life beverage or holy foodstuffs. I get this. So, Author, I can completely understand you naming your fictitious, magical fantasy AU country/planet "Mana." One small problem: In this particular fandom, Mana already exists. Mana is a person. So when you're trying to talk about immigration and say something like, "As travelers come in and out of Mana, the secrets start leaking out too," without previously specifying that "Mana" is, in fact, an effing country, I'm stricken with nightmarish images of immigrants trying to climb up into that poor girl's womb. Thankfully, my brain shuts down before it can fully render whatever the hell "leaking secrets" are supposed to be in this horrible, horribly horrific thing. I don't know if I should feel lucky, or the opposite, that my first thought wasn't just "Mana the fandom bicycle and baby-making factory," though I guess that would be the more logical image considering the phrasing.Please: pay attention to how you're crafting your fantasy AUs, okay? The nation-state of Mana would probably be okay in, say, AUs of Full Metal Alchemist or Pokemon. Not so much for Yu-Gi-Oh or D.Gray-man. Summary in Question, for the curious: Yami and Yugi, along with everyone else, lives in a beautiful, magical, exotic world. It's perfect, right? Wrong! As travelers come in and out of Mana, the secrets start leaking out too. Please read. :D That emoticon will haunt my nightmares.

Zutara Week, Day Two: Electric
Me again, with my second entry into the World of Zutara week. This time around, I took my inspiration from the movie Wall-E, which you simply MUST see if you haven't yet. It's a minor inspiration, all things considered, but it's the spark that set this entry off. Anyway, here you go, and I hope you enjoy. Continuity Info: Set shortly after the events of The Western Air Temple and Denim. Slight spoilers, but nothing major. music: "Define Dancing" by Thomas Newman

Anne want big BOOM.
If a thief steals a nuclear bomb, and then it goes off, the good guys aren't going to be able to save everyone by throwing the bomb into a handy pond.
Nuclear bombs are incredibly destructive devices. The most the pond could do would be to slightly dampen the effect of the explosion (right before being vaporized). The surrounding areas would still suffer great devastation, and inhabitants of said areas would suffer radiation poisoning and burns if they don't die outright. The heat of the bomb that went off at Hiroshima literally melted people. A pond is no match for a force that can turn people into puddles.
If that wasn't enough, you had the good guys actually take the thief on his offer to give them a place to stay! Why are they trusting this man who tried to steal a freaking nuclear bomb not more then five minutes before? The characters in question have been around the block, they have enough sense to know not to trust heavy armament thieves.
Common sense is a wonderful thing. Please use it while writing.
Teal;deer version: Nuclear bomb = A BIG BOOM, Nuclear bomb + pond = STILL A BIG BOOM. And don't trust people who try to steal nuclear bombs to find you a good apartment.
ETA: Upon more careful reading, the thief didn't set off the bomb, but he did try to steal and sell it, so you still shouldn't trust his real estate advice. And a pond is still a bad anti-nuclear device.
