"You wound me, good sir, as this is the first true criticism that I've ever received whilst writing these works. Are you implying that my style is not worthy of praise?"

Heh, I'm just messing around. I'd been expecting someone to really analyze my stuff for a long while now; guess you're the first. I fully understand all of your points made and agree with you on almost all of them. You make an effort to tell me exactly what went wrong with this chapter and how to fix it, which I appreciate. I also like your subtle reminder that I have strayed too far from the whole purpose of the MGE, which is to give a more 'human' personality to the monsters we're more-or-less familiar with.

Back to my point about 'almost' agreeing with everything you said. I emphasized the 'almost' because a.) coarse language makes your case lose credibility, b.) your style with this comment seems more like an attack than helpful advice which is the basis of criticism, and c.) this is a one-shot, not a true fanfiction.

Obviously I can't even come close to some of the more famous fanfiction on this site (of which I'm unfamiliar), but it's always a gradual rise to that status. One can't expect a masterpiece to be made for a good while. That being said, I must address the rather harsh backlash that I gave to your comment. 'A' and 'B' are self-explanatory and may be interpreted however you please, so 'C' is my main focus here. I'm only acting on pure assumptions with this, but I'm not entirely convinced that you fully grasped the concept that this story is a one-shot. As such, these types of stories are made to be short and to the point, which is why I left out the many details that you talked about. I'm trying to entertain readers with a short, simple story that would hardly take up any amount of time to read. Short, sweet and generally good for a laugh; that's my style for these. That's how it was for all of my other one-shots and that's how it'll stay for the rest. Someone like you who has a critical eye for (apparently) fanfics should direct it more to the true fanfictions.

TL;DR-Of course I have room to improve and of course I'm lacking, but I'm still gonna stick with what I know.

Edit: All that civil talk really tires me out! I can be intelligent if I want to, but most of the time, I simply do not.
