    What can ya do, eh? I guess he'll get bored of doing all the same shit over and over again after awhile. Hopefully he'll try his hand at something original after that.

    I was wondering what the hell you were going on about there, because the Wizard with the Force doesn't have elves, when I checked his profile page and oh, he'd added another one. He's only going to continue with one of theHonks/New Ones depending on which gets the most reviews.
    Well, I'm off to read "The Elven Connection". Its another slight crossover with Star Wars according to the summary, and me being me, it doesn't bode well.

    *shakes head in shame* Why oh why must this acursed scum continue with these pathetically shitty plotlines? I almost wanted to cry when i started reading this new one, there was only so much i could stomach before i had to go bash my head against the wall...like so. :wall: Are well maybe one day he'll give up on this pathetic crusade to add star wars in a HP story...

    That's the worst thing...stained-future COULD be a good (not great) author. He has the skill, (some) ideas, and a solid writing style, but then he degenerates to shitty cliches, and gets so involved with pleasing his reviewers with clinical sex scenes and laundry lists of abilities that he has no concept of time, space, or basic human interaction.

    It sounds like you guys want to drag him in here and give him a group therapy session, I can only see two outcomes out of that either:

    A) He gets all defensive and denies everything. Then he says something randomly offensive to us and we all sweep down on him like a pack of wolves and tear him/his loved ones/anyone who associates with him willingly limb from limb.

    B) You guys loose your nerve and go soft on him. He listens but doesn’t get anything out of it, because we decided to try any coddle him into the right ways.


    P.S. I was just reading threw his bio page (don’t ask me why I just was) and Giovani did you know your mentioned in it. Did you mention that he had bad grammar to him?

    Rofl there's the quote you mentioned.

    I'm hesitant about being the one to invite him over, after the aforementioned temper tantrum I dunno if I can handle the whine factor if he gets all pissy, lol

    It wasn't me.

    My name is Giovanni, not Giovani.

    He throws a hissy fit when I try to help him improve his writing forcing me to flame him... Then he mispells my name when insulting to my flame.

    I'm insulted.

    rofl oh how I know that too well. Funny thing was I went back and edited the title and added the N our guest left out when I got bashed, and it pissed him off even more, lol.

    I don't think spelling & grammar are his main problems...

    He needs help with plotting his stories and keeping them on earth. He has this thing with throwing in super-powers whenever he feels like it and that truly ruins his stories.

    I could trawl through the grammar if the plot was well developed and thought out. I can't read through the lackluster plots, clinical sex scenes, laundry lists, and the over abundance of overused cliches. I agree with whats been said here; stained-future could be a good writer, not great - just good.

    It seems though, that no matter if we did offer to help him with developing a decent plot he would just throw a Vorlon on us. He doesn't seem to take to criticism well.
