Now that you've actually READ the story? You mean to tell us you didn't read it before? e.e

Shadow and all you Merry Marines. Sorry for my earlier comments. Midterms are coming up, and I was pissed at my math teacher and I wanted to kill her. Now that I've read your story and I'm a bit more calm, I would like to say that it was even still a pretty good story without all the guts, gore and killing. Its the choice of the writer to include that in the story, and even some of the best stories dont have all of the kiling. I will admit that i have been kinda bad on the comments in some of all your writers stories lately. It started with 5 Way War, so please forget all of the comments that i have posted on all stories between now and then. Thanks.

Hey Shadow dude, I will always be here to read any of your stories. Your first couple really impressed me and I am going to stick with you in and out problems such as: Lack of action, boring, etc... So keep up your work.

All props go to shadow for this prologue, he's the man.

What are you MMs going on about? I too thought Shadow could have done a bit better with the story, but that's my opinion. I liked the story overall, I think it is going in the right direction and had some really good parts. What I thought could have been done better is with conflict in the story, even when he got in a fight, I never felt Takan (the main character) was ever in any danger or was going to be horribly punished for breaking the rules. That's all. I expect more from Shadow and the rest of you so be prepared for harsher reviews but also to reap the benefits of great praise. They tend to come together. As Sarge says, you can't please everyone all the time.

And thanks for refreshing my memory about Takan being Shadow before the Dark Wolves.

And in SEALS they tie your hands and and legs and chuck you in the water. You have to swim up to the surface before you die!

Hey guys. (Yes this is the real Shadow). Anyway, Ender and Wado, I appreciate the criticism. I certainly need it to become a better writor. As for the comments on action, you won't find endless amounts of bodies and gunfire like in my previous fanfics. This one will be quality. If I am to sacrifice the attention of some of my readers for some better quality writing, then so be it. As for the next section of the prologue, I had actually already written the whole thing up before I even submitted the first part, so these comments won't seem to affect my writing until the first chapter of Rebirth. Peace, and thank you for the comments.

Yes.. very good. Its about time ye've been giving harsher reviews. Anyhow, I feel Ender has somehow insulted Shadow because he wrote something without action (Which is NOT the concept of what a story should be!) Its not all about fighting, people. You'll see.

Wado, you're superman, just don't sing any more songs, you overdid it last time. Heck, they shot you over five times. . .

Shadow DOES read his comments, Ender, trust me on that one. He knows what you say, just doesn't usually reply to them, back off a pace. A story isnt about killing, action and more killing. Shadow knows this, and if you can't appreciate a truly good piece of writing to rival ANYONE's ATTEMPT at it, then I suggest you read something else.

BTW Ender, i meant no offense by that earlier remark. I've been having a long day, and just wanted to make it clear that we are not some average group of 'actionactionkillkill' guys, but cultured writers. If you want action, you'll have to wait a bit longer until Rebirth starts.

Takan was Shadow before the Dark Wolves. And Ender, do you really want the MM to hunt you down and give you atomic wedgies until you apologize for lack of intelligence? No, I thought not. This is NOT Rebirth itself. This is one of the PROLOGUES for God's sake! This is just leading up to the action that will come.

this was ok story, but sucked compared to some of shadows other writing. I noticed 2 errors, and it needs more action. I was dissapointed when i read this. i expected better from all you merry marines. and why dont you tell shadow to get down here and read his own comments, get back more into HBO. hes just writing. he needs to talk to his readers, and then i might like his story.

Well kudos to Shadow then.

Hey Sarge, I think before you were born but some Navy Seals unfortunately died just a few miles from shore, they got turned around and swam the wrong way I think. There is a wealth of military stories to draw from huh.

Pssh... Currently the one typing everything? I think not. Its just the fact that we haven't posted, methinks; since clustering it would be relatively stupid.

Hey, if you have something with the story, then take it up with Shadow. He's currently the one typing everything. We're next.

Let's hope so, I don't want people grabbing at bad opinions and attitudes.

Damn, I was the first to comment on this story...NOT...lol.

This story was pretty good. If you continue writing about the training, I hope to see some of the live fire exercises/drills -- I think you might be one of the few groups of writers that might be able to pull it off. You hinted at it already with the importance of teamwork.

As an example which does not have a whole lot to do with teamwork but does have to do with intense training, I'm going to dig deep into my bag of stories and experiences and will leave you with this... Here is what I mean by training... As a Ranger you must pass your swimming test -- 20 laps in the pool. Almost nobody has ever made it in one try. If you drown, and I am serious, the divers pull you out of the water and revive you, then you must finish your laps. Some people drown two or three times before they can finish the exercise. Write about stuff like this and you can take your training exercises to the next level.

Well anyway, just a suggestion. Great going all of you.
