Comments for 'Caught on Film, Chapter 1' |

As long as there are different colored people, there will be different colored thoughts. It's a fact of life. A harsh one, but a fact none-the-less. When the world's made of gumdrops and candycanes all our differences my not matter, but by then we'll all be fat and dying from obesity, won't we.

Great story, short, but great. Also, look for my next story when it comes out, Spartan III's, Chapter 6, Battles of the Sea

Thanks for the comments. Yeah, the race thing was kinda hard to put in words. But it goes throughout the story, so I guess you just have to live with it; sorry to any readers I have(or might) offened/offend. This plans to be an amazing series none the less. And the name.....well, I thought it sounded funny right after I submitted it. Thanks once again for your comments!

I can be a little racist at times, but it's well deserved. You should see some of the people at my school. OMG, and they wonder why the KKK is around, these people.

Yeah, it's all been said. Pretty good job, buddy.
About the race thing:
I think it's all too sensitive. If a man has the right skin, he's black, white, oriental, etc. Only when you get to the places like Afghanistan and the difference between them and Arabs do you need to classify with care.
No, I'm not a racist, though I might sound arrogant. Maybe I am in some cases.
Oh, and "hispanic" is not a race. It means anyone descended from Spain. That includes multiple races, including Whites, some Moors (yeah, I know, they invaded Spain, not vice versa), and then when you get to America you have the dark-skinned Spanish-speaking Indian descendants, which people have come to classify as "hispanic". They are, but that doesn't mean they're the only ones.
Why is this such an important matter? It's not, and it doesn't fit on this review section, but someone brought up the race subject, and I'm off. Anyway, it's important to me, because my mother is from Uruguay, and Spanish (and a bit Eye-Tie) all the way. But I'm white, with blond hair. Even with a dad from Utah, I should be dark-skinned, people say. Right? Wrong. And now you know why.
Now, if everybody who asks about me could see this... maybe I should carry around a copy in my pocket...

Yes, that was some pretty good writing. Just touch up the format better on the page and you'll look like a pro.

The odd perspective threw me off a few times and set off grammar alarms in my head, though in hindsight they were all good. Dialogue is awesome, especially the speech, and I can see familiar struggles in yoru writing as mine, one, the issue of expressing race... It's touchy things.
This truly was a good fanfic, though I was expecting a comedy of outtakes from combat by the name...

Through the perspective lense of a war cameraman.
A new approach, and something that could from the writing I've seen turn into a very good series.
