What's the point in writing something about characters you enjoy when they don't actually act like the characters? It may have a great plot/storyline, but without proper characterization, it's just original fiction using the names.

I'm not going to entirely disagree with you. When I started LF, it was just for fun. But you wouldn't BELIEVE the outpouring of response. I was shocked. I had never, in all of my canon fics that were as accurate as I could get, I never had a response like that. And writing LF was FUN. So I kept posting. I enjoyed the writing, a lot. It actually did kind of feel like writing original fic in some places.

I've never written a fic with someone like jaded before. Very different.

But honestly, try reading Synergy. DON'T take your preconceived notions from LF and read the first chapter. See if you think the same way. Synergy was not written like LF, or in the same mind frame, or even the same co-author. That, in my opinion, is a very canon-character piece. It isn't the same storyline as the game, obviously, but... check it out? Read the first chapter and see if you think the same thing about that.

I'd very honored if you did and gave me your HONEST response to it. Thank you.

It isn't very nice to imply to a person that they lied. How much more honest can criticism be?

[jantra.livejournal.com]

*confused* ...that who lied?

[grayout.livejournal.com]

You said honest opinion with the word honest capslocked, I think they kinda meant that.

Uhhh, just saying, but mind like, putting up a post in kh_yaoi or something if you want concrit? The copy-paste stuff is kinda killing my inbox. >>"

[jantra.livejournal.com]

Not checking, but I have the feeling you're the OP. Ummm putting a post like that in khyaoi is kinda against the rules I think? It's just about someone's writing... I don't think I could post it there with good feeling in mind.

Sorry about the spam! ^^ It was just hard to get an answer from each person who reponded without asking each and every one.

[grayout.livejournal.com]

Huh? OP of what? The secret? *DIES* I'm not even really in KH fandom. I'm the mod of this comm, so I get all the spam from here...

Yeah, that was why I suggested posting in kh_yaoi or something. Don't know the comm really so I don't know the rules.

P.S. - Is that a tattoo of yours? It is awesome. I have a tattoo that resembles the look.

[rem-sama.livejournal.com]

Provided a falsehood, I mean. I mean no offense, but you make it sound like the crit provided the first time was false or dishonest on their part.

[jantra.livejournal.com]

Oh, I didn't mean it like that all! I simply meant for them to speak whatever truth they deemed they should and not hold anything back. Completely honest and open. Does... that make more sense?

[rem-sama.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes, it does.

I've never actually read either, so I wasn't critiquing the fanfiction itself. But plenty of people judge an author by what they've written. I certainly don't check every story by someone if I don't like the first one. If the characters are OOC, it's not really the characters. If you can admit that's true of LF, you shouldn't get upset when people judge how you write based off of that characterization, because it would be assumed that anything else you write would be the same.

Not to be rude, honestly, but most people don't have time to give you the benefit of the doubt.

Hi, just a drive-by commenter here...But if you're looking for in-depth concrit, kh_beta would probably be a great place to start. It's a pretty new community specifically for betaing kh fanfiction, and I know they'd be willing to help you out! :)
