I'm pretty sure that we do have a general FF.net thread but I couldn't find it so I'd figure I'd make a new one. I decided to become a part of the FF.net community but there is no way to contact me on there, I disabled all forms of communication with the exception of reviews. My story Down the Rabbit Hole is also up on there as well, I have just posted up the fourth chapter, I don't know if I'll post other stories besides just the one. I almost thought of posting my SA 3 story but there are tons of those on there, so...yeah, I probably won't do that, lol.
Also, I wouldn't mind using this to discuss other stuff in relation to the site there, I have just receantly finished reading a story that while it had some plot holes in it, I didn't think it was too bad and it seems that when I logged on today to upload my next chapter, to my surprise, the author had added another chapter making the story total being 13 chapters. I went ahead and gave her a review, I feel that I gave her a pretty constructive review so I hope she doesn't take it the wrong way or anything like that. The slight issue I had with the story is that she states at the end of her final chapter, she says that everyone got a happy ending, Randall included but I did ask in my review that I wasn't sure how Randall being banished again was a very happy ending considering that she had written that Randall was banished to the Himalyas which considering how cold that place is (you would think that it would sound like someplace tropical just from how it sounds) something tells me that he isn't going to last long. I also noticed another review (from one of the boardies here) that asked about the fact that Randall within the chapters, the author had Randall tell Celia that he was trying to change and be better but clearly she wrote this in order to show Randall to have a sneaky and sly side because the lines in her story of Randall saying he wanted to change was him in her story lying.
So...anyway, got any opinions on the story and also, I go by the name AnGelGothIca on FF.net, in case you guys have no idea who the pen name is for me.

Lemme guess...the author that story is "Soul Sis", am I correct? She's a die-hard Randall hater, so her idea of him "living happily ever after" would be quite tongue-in-cheek, and no doubt she means that his death makes HER happy ever after.

I have nothing against a user writing a fiction where Randall is portrayed as a villian since that was his role in the film but there ARE ways to write it where it comes off a little more professional and less....silly I guess is the way to put it...and then what I didn't get was why she decided to pair up Celia in the mess because according to the explanation, blackmail was involved but how it was involved made no sense. Celia had decided to work with Randall because he threatened to hurt Mike but Randall never even tries to capture him to where this would make more sense...cause if he would have then the blackmail would be more credible. I think she did the whole "Randall gets happy ending" the way she did because I did notice that a boardie from here kept saying that it would be an interesting idea to make Randall become good in the end and personally, I do believe that she may have been annoyed by reading that so she wrote it how she did in order to spite those who are Randall fans who don't see him as an evil being...but hey, I could be wrong....I'm just hoping that she doesn't react to my review negatively, that's all. |

Background on Soul Sis-she was TWELVE when she started this fanfic, so she's probably only a bit over 13 now, with all that enormous wisdom and wealth of knowledge of the early teen(*tongue firmly in cheek, yes*). She has a huge crush on MIKE, and thinks he is the epitome of the movie action hero. She believes-again, with all the tremendous wealth of worldly and otherworldly knowledge that only teenagers are possessed of, as not even Einstein can touch them in intellect-that people ARE born either wholly evil or wholly good, no in betweens, and no changing. You're a Good Guy or a Bad Guy, period. She also DOES find Randall to be evil and creepy because he's REPTILIAN and scaly because she says ALL reptiles are evil and creepy and he reminds her too much of a snake. At least SHE does admit that, though-it's the source of a lot of the hate directed at Randall, whether most people are willing to state it or not. Many of the haters hated him when they first laid eyes on him, before he did anything so horribly wrong, and honestly, if he'd spent the movie feeding the homeless and rescuing starving puppies and kittens I don't think it would have changed their opinion on him one iota. She, like so many youngsters, also believes that she herself is above and beyond any sort of wrongdoing whatsoever, let alone that she'd ever harm anyone else. Yes, it's a high, high horse that she sits upon, and the higher the horse, the more painful the inevitable fall when it decides to buck you off. pitbulllady |
