Comments for 'The Croton Chronicles: Chapter 9, Into the belly of the beast…and it’s not feeling too well' |

I am happy that everyone is getting along now as well. I hate it when people start attacking each other here. It makes me very mad. And a mad MadJackal is a very bad thing. We should all be united by our shared love of Halo.
I've seen worse on some comments pages, but I also think that constructive criticism is the order of the day. This site and its Fanfic forum is not for blasting the authors personally. It's about creating an environment where those authors can develop their skills and become better.

Just to let everybody know I'm happy were all getting along now, and just to make everybody happy it will probable be a month give or take a week till the next chapter is posted we won't be block any submissions. Just for the record the whole double posting thing was Boxers fault not mine so don't hate the story because of him hate it because it's bad or beause you actually hate it.
Thanks for not booting us or killing us

I'm sorry too, I was just mad because...well, if you look at one of the other stories comments you'll see why, that was my fresh start on anger. :S
I apologize, Boxer, but I agree with MCC, pretty much what he all said, and I don't really have any other constructive critism besides use the pseudocode.

I'm afraid I will have to agree with the Author on that one. We all need to wize up about out kidlike attitude sometimes. At times, it can be approapriate, but at other times, like this, it can get out of hand. Act like adult we need to. And as Yoda once said, "Much to learn you still have."
But even through your explinations as you might call them, never post that much stuff on the FF section. And don't diss commenters just because we are sometimes overly critical. It makes you sound stupid and more immature than we do. But when a all-at-once posted series pushes current posts onto a second page, you've posted too much. It takes up space and time. Posting that much just annoys readers. We don't want to finish what you started that way. And decimals in a title really turns people off too if you haven't noticed. And never use sarcasm in the way you do about your stories and peoples opinions about them. If we loved them, you'd know it. And we really didn't.
Just a few tips from me. Hopefully in the future we can be more mature about this kind of thing, or improve in other ways. But gues what? You have to fulfill your end too. Don't SPAM us, and don't act like an arrogant pimp who thinks he's better than everyone else. That's what kind of impression you bring to my mind. That's not good here. And once agian: I'm not your "homie" and never will be. And I'm sure most other here will agree. Adios.

I think that calling someone out on a forum really shows what kind of man a person really is, don't you think?
The reason I singled you out Cold is because you've posted relatively similar comments about a majority of the stories. You only need to post something once because if you don't you run the risk of double posting.
Now I've explained why we posted the stories en mass. What I haven't said is why we re-posted, or double posted, the stories. I was told by an admin that if I reposted the stories I should give them a new title, which I have. So, getting mad about the double-posting won't help.
I think this whole thing has gotten way out of hand. Perhaps we all need to take a step back and rethink what we post. Let's use the FF comments forum how it was intended to be used. Let's use it to convey constructive criticism. We don't need to bash the authors. What we need to do is help them make the stories better. By doing this we can increase the quality of not only our own stories but all the stories.
I apologize for losing my cool but after having read the same thing from the same person so many times it starts to grade on a person.
So, in conclusion, we need to stop acting like little kids on a playground and start acting like the adults some of us are.

Yet someone makes me angry again...but I'm not going to reply with swearing.
Boxer, I probably go for everyone when I say learn to write. Adults? Hahahaha! Oh, and yeah...I guess I secretly DO have control over the FF Forum... but not really, so I suggest that YOU shut the hell up before typing something completely irrelevant to what is really happening.
Plus, I wasn't the only one to not give you constructive critism, maybe it's the fact that I posted last, but thats pretty low, man.
I can ramble on and on but I'm going to stop write here, it is either YOUR fault or Funksters that you posted so many stories at once so don't try and turn this around on me.

No mouthy comments, eh? How about wise ass comments? Perhaps sarcastic comments? No? Well, next time you make a comment/suggestion practice what you preach. Oh yeah, I'm talking to your Cold Blooded. You act like you have some kind of sway over the FF forum. Well Spanky Jim, you don't. I suggest you just shut the Hell up and leave the writing to us adults.
The forum is for constructive criticism, not your mindless and incentent babble about how our stories "lacked what you were looking for" (How about telling us what you were looking for, you know so we can improve) or how our comments were mouthy. Honestly I could care less. So, the next time you want to write something perhaps you should take a hammer to your fingers.
Nothin' but love!!
-Boxer[subnova]
(P.S)I apologize about the posting everything at once but we wanted the new versions of the stories to be posted before we started posting new chapters. Waiting a week or two for all this to happen just wasn't in the schedual. With class and all we didn't have the time to post every week. Again, we're really sorry the whole spamming the FF thing.

Sorry bout that. Sounded a little silly didn't I? Had a bad day. Darn those stupid jobs. But now that I have calmed myself down, thank Halo for that one, I will explain more polightly. Readers like a little length in stories. But we don't want you to exceed the 30k thing or get around it by posting al of those in rapid sucession. It just plain annoys us, and furthers peoples tendency to become pissed off at you. This isn't something to strive for in this world. But from the way you sound...well, you sound almost like you want to. The attitude you put on yourself is arrogant and just plain stupid. Those kind of "threats" or whatever you may call them are out of place. Like mine, sorry. And you should be too. So next time you decide to post on HBO. Do it one story at a time. For the sake of all of us, please.

You knwo. I would read these and see what you have written. But I can't. I don't have the time to waste. NEVER POST THAT MUCH AT ONE TIME. We call that SPAMMING. Big Time. And don't call me your homie. Please. They are a lot more exciting if you post one or two at a time. By the way. Triple post, and I will personally kick you off of this site. That kind of #### will not only get you banned, it will get you mobbed, thrashed, and just plain beaten severely by everyone who holds Halo dear. *Sigh* I need to stop getting myself so upset and flambuseld. An new word? YEAH!

Oh since you guys loved this series we are thinking about re-editing it into Tibitan and triple posting it. actually that was not our intent my "friend" boxer said he had talked to some people that said the stories would over write there old counter parts... that or he lied to me. So sorry for spamming the fan fiction it won't happen again but you should try it if you want to get everybody mad at you. Peace out my Homies.

They're right, SLOW DOWN. It's too much to keep up with at once, escpecially those 'Chapter 3.76' additions and what not. Series flow better to space their releases apart. Cheers.

And how would you like it if I posted 9 chapters of the same series so that the people that wrote their new stories first get pushed back to the 2nd page where most people probably aren't bonna read em?

Hey, my stories have been dissed before. I'm still writin em, and you know what, most of the people that read my fanfic love the stories, cause I got btter.

WOO!!! I can honestly die a happy man now. Something I've worked on has caused at least several people to get annoyed. Well, I'm glad you all seem to absolutely love our stories. This is just the thing that we needed to motivate us to write more chapters. More chapters means more story and that can only mean one thing...that much time you're never going to get back.
Much love,

No Kang, I think this is the whole series, which was lacking everything that I looked for. I'm not going to say, because spamming the Fan Fiction section with all this just doesn't make me happy.

Jesus to heavens to sweet maryjane! You wrote alla your stories a bit too soon in succession. Try writing one every time the posts change. Otherwise eveyone is gonna get annoyed with all the Croton Chronicles.
