Quotethen he tried to come take a bite out of my bromeat and I was all like wtf again and said "dude whoa bro off limits" and he said "okay sorry my bad"


That's not the romance, is it? D:

I cannot confirm or deny that, sorry.

This website.... No wonder Fan Fiction has an awful rep. I've never seriously looked into it before, but I have at times thought that an excellent writer with a deep knowledge of a game universe could pull off some worth-while writing, such as perhaps a well-done novelization of the original game story or an exploration of an unresolved facet of the story. (After playing through FFVII a few years ago, I myself toyed with the idea of writing a short story about Jessie, a very minor character who still shows some depth in the game by expressing an unreturned interest in Cloud and eventually meeting a tragic death. Probably not something that I'd do now, but it isn't a terrible idea.)

But this stuff.... I went to "Games" and chose the work with the highest reviews, and it was appallingly bad. Bad spelling, bad grammar, bad representation of the characters, bad grasp of game lore.... I have nothing against the author, of course, but I do now finally understand why the mention of Fan Fiction makes people want to vomit. And makes me think of this.

My comment was actually on the FanFiction.net website in general, not your particular story. Yours had its own unique flavor which I'll admit doesn't quite fit into the category I described. It's quite a category all on its own....

Yay! :D

I am a literary genius. I know, I know... you want my autograph, don't you? :3
