Hahaha

Okay man take yer time on it, I'll get back on my reviewing spree if I'm not lazy =)

Do ho ho. I did take months on it.

Some even asked me if I ditched KnH.

I dunno 'bout that but knowing you, I think you might finish it later in the future~

As for that story, I don't know wth but it might take about 50 chapters or more for it to be completed. Yeah I'm talking about the one in my sig...tons of work coming in hohoho

I havent ditched it. Just never got the time to write it. ~.~

Final year's such a bitch? Well I haven't reach your year yet in university so I don't have any clue about how taff it is~

Yeah and rest time is rest time. So all things considered it's really difficult. But I will finish it someday, even if no one reads it anymore.

Yup that's the spirit which serves as a solid base for a great author, in my opinion~

I should also do my best to write for all my story projects then until I eventually finish them one by one~

It's something I started and I did fill it full of my heart in the past. Of course I need to finish it.

And until the right time comes when you have to write it, I say good luck for your final year. I hope you'll do well and finally graduate =)

I'm thinking of doing my thesis on the 7th Semester, I'm currently going to start my 5th semester in the next few months so there I have about one year and a bit more to prepare myself. So at the 8th semester I could wholly focus on doing the stuff I wanted, as I'm just have to wait for graduation~

Haha, someday man. On that note, graduation is coming close. Hurr.

So it won't be far a time eh, so what are you gonna do after graduating? Be a scientist or somethin?

That's why it's scary. I'm forced to answer a question I don't really want to answer yet.

You'll eventually find the answer when the time goes~

As for me I want to start a company, probably it's about games or even Visual Novels. It's kinda tough when I think about the trend and fortune that I'll make but I don't really wanna care about it. Many successful businessman taught me that it's about staying true to what you believe in and put your whole passion into things that you love, and that's where I got my answer~

Mhm good. Tell me when you have something out~

Hahaha thanks, and I will. Hopefully I'll be able to assemble a company prototype around 2014 with some promising candidates~

Alright, about time to call it quits. I'm pretty tired. See ya man.

Happy slumberland then Mibu~

Ahaha, I leave for an hour and this is what it has come to lol.



Well, this post hits a lot of point that you two were talking about. But, honestly, yeah, grammar errors shouldn't be the single thing that a judge focuses on, which I'm sure they don't, but it's important that if a writer is able to improve on it, then he/she should. If a writer cares as much about the meaning of their writing as much I look forward to understanding their story/meaning, then they should be able to put the effort in to improve.

Rather than three all-rounders, I do agree that there should be specializations. That means that each person can provide more insight and thought into what they specialize in. It's the same reason why a a person in a basketball team focuses on being a center, or a point-guard. Or, in a League of Legends team, a person focuses on playing support, or ad carry, etc. I mean, the examples are endless; specialization is generally a good thing.

And, if everyone is at the same level of writing, then there would be little to no improvement =/. Everyone's work will just be good, and nothing would be great. I think there should be a range of level differences. Maybe have a person at an 'average' level of writing since sometimes, a person can understand the story better if they are at the same level. But also have a person with a 'higher' level of writing to help in improvement.

And, I'm sure not every judge is super stiff. They might be good writers, but I'm sure those who judge have their own personalities. Having someone like Xenon, who I view as flexible and connects with the community, and having someone like CoffeePrince, who I view as stiff, but a very strong critic, can be beneficial. Like you said, the wider range of personalities, the closer you get to objectivity/a larger range of views to discuss.

Edit: Seeya 'round Mibu~

Happen to be awake still, and I would like to point out a very important thing, to me at least.

These two things are VERY different things.

#1. Hey, there's a typo there, methinks. Sure you didn't mean to write 'conservation' instead?

#2. Oh gawd, he misused a word. What a fucktard mistake to an otherwise perfect work. Glaring weakness, gotta reduce the score! 8/10!

Ahaha, I realize the difference. I'm assuming there's a reasonable threshold before points start getting reduced.

If you have a picnic, and you prepped a large bowl of potato salad, but when you open it, a leaf falls in or you see an ant crawl in, you don't throw the entire thing away! You pick the leaf out or pluck the ant, and you eat it, and it'll still be good. But, if you see like a fuck ton of ants in your salad, then you start thinking about it...

But, where you draw the line between 10/10 and 9/10 in grammar is tough. Is it one ant? Is it five ants? How many mistakes does it take for a sentence or paragraph to lose meaning? Though, I guess that's not for us to decide.
