Topic: Coallition of Reviewers

Well, Kin was SUPPOSED to have started this...two weeks ago. Since she's apparently been procrastinating AGAIN! I shall take up this challenge.

It is simple. When a story comes into the "I'll read your KH story topic" whoever is interested in reading the story will come in here and claim it. There is no limit on the amount of people that can read the story. If you would like, you could also discuss the story here is you would like.

I do ask though that whoever would like to join this "sign up" with this. All that is needed is what type of story you like to read, and what type you don't like to read. After that, claim any story that comes here. Also, you can't claim your own story (for obvious reasons).

Stories I like: Action, sometimes a bit of fluff, main pairing of SXK with RXN thrown in there, and KH3 (or KH2 sequel fics that may take place several years after KH2) theory fics.

Stories I don't like: Anything Yaoi and Yuri, High School fics, and most of the time in general, AU fics.

Also, those people who check out this topic, you can use this as a more active way of replying to people who review and discuss the story here. You can get a better feeling of how they felt about it, and add you're own comments. Have fun.

Well I'll give it a shot. I'll look at them when I have the time. Life comes first. So don't be offended if it takes a week for me to respond.

The stories that I will will be:

Adventure, some romance (as a side plot), OC fics, and KH 3. Also, some AU fics (NOT HIGH SCHOOL)

Ones that I won't read:

The same ones you have, Key.

Kay, I should be able to do this as long as I'm not bogged down with schoolwork.

Stories I like: OC fics (if written well), Action, Romance, Fluff, Mystery (where the characters are detectives), Humor, Mary Sue Parodies, One-shots, main pairings are RikuNamine, RikuYuffie, RikuTifa, CloudYuffie, LeonYuffie, AxelTifa, RikuOC (must be written well)

Stories I don't like: Yaoi, Yuri, High School Fics, any 'M' rated fics, Lemons, fics with ALOT of cussing or sexual innuendos, 'sucked into Kingdom Hearts' fics (unless written extremely well), fics where the Org gets a new member (unless written extremely well)

Stories I can Put up with: Limes, shounen-ai (sp?) [though it has to be mild], pairings would be SeiferHayner, AxelRoxas

Well, I think that covers almost everything.

Stories I Like: Action/Adventure, some Romance, Angst, Horror, Supernatural......heck, lets just put it this way, if I take a liking to the story itself I'll read it regardless of the genre.

Stories I Don't Like: Yaoi, Yuri, and High School fics, and some AUs, it all depends on what kind we're talking about.

I know this has been said several times but I'll say it again for myself. If I claim a story and don't review it in a timely manner, my apologies, I'll get to it when I can.

:D Okay, you guys make me feel really sheepish... I am a procrastinator! But proud of it, as much as that is possible...

Anyways, this is awesome, I can't wait for this to get started. I've been a little out of it with the reviewing lately, so this should help me stay on track! We're going to officially start with the next story that gets posted. Let's also try to make sure at least a couple people review each story, because we want to get the posters as much support as possible, so don't just overlook a story if it's already been taken.

I wanna thank everyone who's reviewed someone else's story that's been posted. You guys have been really great. I'll go to a story, and usually at least three of you have already reviewed it. Thanks for that!

Stories I like: Anything that's written well that doesn't fall into my dislike category. But my favorite is romance, adventure, and the occasional fluffy comedy. I also like suspense and mystery. I like stories that center around the main characters from the game (i.e. Sora, Kairi, Riku, Roxas, Mickey) more than side characters, but that's not a main concern.

Stories I don't like: Yaoi, Yuri, "I've been sucked in KH world", lemon

Stories I don't like, but I'll probably read for the forum: high school fics, organization XIII crack fics

As for pairings, I like canon the best, by far. But that doesn't really matter, I'll read other pairings, because it's all about how the author portrays them.

#5 Jan 18th, 3:15pm
The Key of Hope

Well, we got our next story, and I think that I'll take this one. Whoever else wants it, feel free to take it too.

#6 Jan 24th, 5:54am
Kai Saitou

I also claim Kingdom Hearts: Souls of Dawn, I'll get to reading and reviewing as soon as I can.

*Note to author* If you have any questions about any constructive critisism we might give on your story feel free to leave a post with your question.

Kai Saitou

I reviewed the first two chapters, I can't say I'm impressed, but I'm a hard guy to impress so call it a personality flaw :P I personally think a beta reader could help with most of the grammatical problems the story has, I found them in quite an abundance. Also I think the author needs to take more time in his writing. Any thoughts and more con crit from anyone else?

~Kai Saitou~

#8 Jan 24th, 12:54pm
The Key of Hope

Well, once you get to the third chapter, it starts to get worse. There are some awkward sentences in there, misplaced capitalization, it feels like there are a lot of run on sentences.

I would also strongly agree with you on the more time writing. If you look at when the story was published, and when it was updated, he updated the story almost everyday.

I also agree with you on the Beta Reader, he needs one fairly bad.

Like I told him, for a first start, not bad, but if you start to look outside of that, it is somewhat okay to okay.

#9 Jan 24th, 1:08pm
SuperTay

I've read it. It's so-so.

One of the things I didn't like was that the story was rushed, and we had nothing on the OC. He was just thrown in there. Hopefully in future chapters we here more on him.

#10 Jan 24th, 4:33pm
The Key of Hope

I would agree strongly on the OC. At first I was wondering "who the heck is this guy??"

I also agree on the rushing part of it, it's like "okay, do this, this, this, this, this all in three chapters"...whew. He could do a little bit more description, and break everything up into a few more chapters.

#11 Jan 24th, 6:11pm
CaptainSoraSparrow

Did you ever read my fanfic, Kingdom Hearts III: The Shadow among Light

#12 Mar 12th, 4:24pm
The Key of Hope

first off, this is the wrong topic, you want to put this in the "I'll read you KH stories". Second, if you read above, none of us are really into Yaoi or Yuri (a.k.a gay pairings), and I don't think too many people around here are fans of it. Most of us are fans of cannon pairings such as Sokai and Namixas.

#13 May 05th, 4:10pm
divinexs

Alright, I'm up for the challenge. (o.o I don't see any stories that you guys were talking about though.)

Stories I like: Adventure, SoraxOC pairings, a little bit of fluff, really long chapters that keep me reading, humor fics, sequel fics, mystery, verbiage :D, and I love me some sarcasm ;D.

Stories I don't like: Poorly written stories (need some sort of spell check), yaoi/ yuri, complete fluff to the point where it's pointless to continue the story, stories with fairytale endings, and complete cliche (need some of that lemon twists)

Stories I might be able to tolerate: Lime, Lemon (big difference), horror..

#14 May 11th, 12:13am
IchiNukeChuu

I guess I'll join in the fun.

Stories I like: Action, adventure, OCxSora, OCxRiku, OCxRoxas, comedy, drama, mystery, realism, psychologic, AU, and supernatural. Also, I do like yaoi, shouen-ai(boy love, no lemons), and little bit of shoujo-ai(girl love, no lemons). But overall I'll read anything, but the genres that I mentioned earlier are my favorites.

Stories I don't like: Mary sue fics, gorefest stories, OOC, high school fics, anything with only romance and nothing else. Lime (I like stories that have plots, not just constant sex.)

#15 May 11th, 4:10pm
SuperTay

Yay. We finally got someone who will read a yaoi fic.

#16 May 11th, 6:03pm
IchiNukeChuu

Well I see a lot of yaoi fics being turned down, so I'll step to the plate and read them. But the catch is this, I'll only read it if all characters in all in character, not OOC. There's nothing bad in yaoi and I understand that a lot of people dislike it, so no worries.

#17 May 11th, 7:19pm
The Key of Hope

Well, as a guy, I think it is pretty obvious as to the reason that I don't like Yaoi. But it's good that we finally have SOMEONE here that doesn't mind it. WE'RE EXPANDING!!! (and just in time too, with summer I expect to see this topic and the "I'll read your KH stories" topic to shoot up in number of posts).

#18 May 11th, 7:30pm
Kai Saitou

Thanks Ichi and Divine, I appreciate the help. I like the fact that someone here will read yaoi and yuri. Now we don't have to turn down anyone! And for a update of sorts, there are three or four stories that have come up pretty recently that someone needs to review. I think we should start using this topic to its actual full extent. And I thought since the premise of this topic is to discuss it as a group and give our input before we post our reviews, I think a more efficient way would to be to create a new topic with the stories title for a name. We discuss the story there, and offer to let the author look at that particular topic before deleting it and moving onto the next one. This is just one of my ideas in its infant stage, let me know what ya'll think.

~Kai Saitou~

#19 May 11th, 7:55pm . Edited May 11th, 8:12pm
IchiNukeChuu

That's understandable, not a lot of girls like yuri either, so it's all even. I just don't like when people diss yaoi or yuri in a harsh way and keep saying that the main female should be always be with the main male. The yaoi fans understand that the yaoi pairing will never be official, but nothing wrong of pairing the male character with another male. I should probably start reading that yaoi fanfic that was mentioned earlier in the forum.

#20 May 11th, 7:58pm
divinexs

o.o Sounds good to me. I can't wait :D

#21 May 11th, 8:10pm
The Key of Hope

sounds like a great idea to me Kai. I think it will help us keep this more organized too (something that is definitely NOT one of my strengths)

#22 May 11th, 8:39pm
Kai Saitou

Well since I have the approval of my unofficial-mod lets gets this train rolling! I'll have the name of a story that I claim up tonight.

~Kai Saitou~

#23 May 11th, 8:57pm
Fantasy0Girl
I am also willing to do this, as long as I've time for it ... Stories I like: OC fics, Adventure, Angst, Horror, Action, Romance, Fluff, Mystery, One-shots, the main pairings are SoraKairi, RikuNamine, RikuOC, Stories I will not read: Yaoi, Yuri, 'M' rated fics, Lemons
#24 May 12th, 10:30am

I'll read anything except yaoi and yuri. that stuff just makes me want to poke my eyes out, seeing my favorite characters 'going round the bend'

*shudders*

#25 May 14th, 5:31am . Edited May 14th, 5:33am
Kai Saitou

Hey guys, just letting you know that we have an AU fic that needs reading. If I haven't stated that I don't like AU's all that much already I'll say it again. "I don't like AU's" lol, the link is located on the last post in the "I'll Read Your Stories" topic. As a coalition members it is expected for anyone who says they are willing to do it to participate. (If life is busy I understand, but sooner is better than later)

~Kai Saitou~

#26 May 26th, 10:58pm
The Key of Hope

I created this topic so that we could all pitch in and review stories, however it seems like myself, Kai, and Fantasy are the only three people really doing this. Me and Kai have talked this over, and we have come up with a new rule if you wish to join this. You must have two or more stories that are currently topics going at the same time. Example, lets say that the Redeemer topic gets taken down, and that is one of the two stories you are working on, you now have to find a new story that is a topic to review. We recognize that some of you have jobs and lives, but all we are asking is that you do two stories, thats all. If anyone has any, and I mean ANY, questions, feel free to PM me.

#27 Jun 07th, 12:42pm
SuperTay

Okay. I'm sorry if I haven't been pulling my weight on this. It's been a bad week for me, and it may get worse once I'm back in school. So, (as of right now) there's going to be a chance that I'll be coming onto the fourms less frequently than I use to.

I'll still review time to time (I'm looking at one now) but I'm going to have to drop out for a while. I'm really sorry.

#28 Jun 07th, 4:29pm
Akira Shinji

I'd be interested in reviewing stories (seeing as I have more time due to summer vacation coming in another week and a half)...I've been looking for something new to read.

Just making sure, these are the stories in "I'll Read Your Stories" thread right? (dumb/obvious question I know, but it has to be done XD)

#29 Jun 07th, 5:41pm
The Key of Hope

Yeah, those are the stories, just make sure to "sign up" by telling us what you like and don't like to read.

#30 Jun 07th, 5:42pm
Akira Shinji

At least I know where to put that information. :3

Stuff I like: Post-KH2, crossovers, implied-in-the-canon pairings, adventure, humor...eh, most stuff that isn't below.

Stuff I'm iffy on: Yaoi (XemSai is definitely readable), randomness, AU fics, high school, self-insert stories (depends on how well written), romance in general (I know, I should be shot for the last one).

Stuff I don't like: Serious, down-and-dirty romance. All-yaoi, yuri, Mary-Sue-ness, OC overloads, horror, gore.

I have to say now I'm guilty of half the things in the "iffy" section, so I'd be a real hypocrite if I said I wouldn't read it. XD And to let you know beforehand, I am a Grammar Nazi. I strike fear into the hearts of typos everywhere. __

oh great, another grammer nazi, first Kai, now you, WHO WILL BE NEXT???

#32 Jun 07th, 6:02pm

you know something, I just realized that with summer, some of you have jobs that you have to do. If your job (or you have a really good excuse, as in approved by myself or another mod) conflicts with this, I understand and I won't force you to do two stories. I don't want this to feel like another job, I realize how tiring 8 hours of work can be.

#33 Jun 07th, 8:18pm
Formerly Chilltown

Okay, so I figure if I read more fanfiction, it, in turn, will make me a better fanfiction writer. So why not, I guess.

I like: Well-written Donald and Goofy, Organization good-times fics, humor and parodies, an action fic with some good OCs, fanfics that show scenes that weren't in-game(like when Donald and Goofy left Sora to follow Riku, scenes like that), post-KH2 era, Luxord's eloquence, Pete or anything Pete-related

Sick to death of: AkuRoku, high school AUs, Zemyx, KH3 speculation fics that go on for so many chapters that the plot isn't even a factor of it anymore

I don't like: Overused or uninteresting characters, fanfiction with characters whose games haven't released yet, extra FFVII people showing up in everything for no reason, everybody and their momma wielding a Keyblade

I see that a lot of you don't like yaoi, Mary Sues, and all that bad stuff, but if there's a story so bad that nobody'll read, I take it. Really, there's a whole lot of stuff I don't wanna read, but there's also nothing I won't.

#34 Jun 09th, 4:41pm
The Key of Hope

good to have you aboard, just remember, you must be a part of at least two topics (examples like Twilight Legacy and Redeemer). If one should get deleted, you'll need a new one (we should be getting more soon...I hope).

#35 Jun 09th, 4:45pm

#36 Jun 09th, 4:48pm
The Key of Hope

You see how some stories have topics dedicated to them? Well, you need to read and review at least two of those stories. So out of the four that we have, you need to do at least two of them.

By the way, I thought I should probably note that I won't be reading too many fics over the T rating, I'm not exactly..."in-tune" with a lot of the more mature stuff I see in M and above. (Whatever is above M.) Sorry, I'm just a child. ;__;

#39 Jun 18th, 6:28pm
Kai Saitou

Heh, no worries. You do enough around the CoR as it is. You stay as far away from the "mature" stuff as you possibly can, or want XD

#40 Jun 24th, 5:31pm
Formerly Chilltown

I'm not exactly..."in-tune" with a lot of the more mature stuff I see in M and above

Well, neither am I, when it comes to Kingdom Hearts anyway.

To me, it's just weird to have the KH cast cursing more than you can count on your hand. xD

#41 Jun 24th, 5:44pm
IchiNukeChuu

But doesn't cursing make them more human and teenager like? Well, I shouldn't say anything right now, I'm not really into rated M stories myself, but if someone can pull it off without going over the top then I'll accept it. Thing is, if the story is about basically a sex romp then I'm not reading it.

#42 Jun 24th, 5:52pm
Formerly Chilltown

You see, what I meant to say was too much cursing makes a character really OoC. There're plenty of stories like that.

Like, I don't think Xemnas would b-word about all the f-wording s-word that he has to f-wording deal with up in this b-word, you get me? xD

#43 Jun 24th, 6:15pm
Akira Shinji

Hahaha, I mostly meant sexual stuff (I even went so far as to avert my eyes when I was reading through Eclipse/Breaking Dawn), but over-the-top cursing gets annoying too. I start losing track of what the heck they're trying to rant about. But it can sometimes makes them seem more humanlike--IF they're that kind of person (like Barret from Final Fantasy VII, who can curse up and down and still seem in character).

This is Fanfiction dot net, not Angstfiction dot net. Although I love your use of censorship. XD

#44 Jun 24th, 6:24pm
Princess Io

Aha, another thread! ^^

Well...may as well jump on the bandwagon.

Stories I like: AU (make it tasteful, or I'm not convinced), Angst/Adventure/Romance/Mystery/Drama, "detective-like" stories (where you don't know what'll happen next, and then the punchline gets you good), pure fantasy can never go wrong -- unless you're ludicrous, sexual content is good if it's reasonable and intelligent, not overly hormonal

Stories I don't like: Yaoi/Yuri/Crack (they're just wrong on so many levels), Highschool fics, too gorey, raunchy & pure lemon fics, randomized and extreme crossovers

#45 Jun 24th, 6:31pm
SerenusAeterna

I'll give it a go. I in fact have a KH3 story posted...Hardly anyone's looked at it, or reviewed it... I am a new writer here.

Stories I like: OC fics (if written well), Action, Romance, and One-shots.

#46 Jul 20th, 10:12am
JuicyLemons

*jumps on the bandwagon*

Stories I like: OC fics (if written well), AU, Adenture/Horror/Drama/Fantasy/Angst (not too angsty though). One-shots/drabbles, good multi-chapter fics.

Stories I don't like: Mary-Sue-ness, AkuRoku (I hate this pairing. I really do.) Highschool fics, lemons, etc.

And I'll admit right now, I'm not a big fan of SoKai fics (or the pairing for that matter) either. They have to be really well-written for me to take an interest in them. I 'd also like to say I will read yaoi/yuri, it just has to be good and no sex every five seconds.

#47 Aug 02nd, 3:08pm
Akira Shinji

Hmm...I just had a question here, I think I really should've caught on to this a while ago, but...

What is an OC fic? Is it one of those fanfics that only revolve around an OC/a group of OCs, or is it the canon characters plus an OC/group? (I should have so figured this out by now.)

#48 Aug 02nd, 4:10pm
The Key of Hope

You're right Akira, you should know that by now :P. But what you said is exactly right, it revolves around a group of OCs, generally having little or no contact with canon characters.

#49 Aug 02nd, 4:26pm
SerenusAeterna

Hey, what the heck. I'm sure I can do this...If I'm not filled to the brim with schoolwork. I have a KH story of my own I just posted....

Stories I like: Oneshots, Action, Adventure, Drama, Suspense, a bit of fluff, pairings of SoraxKairi, SoraxOC, AxelxOC, OCxOC( if its a KH3 thing or a KH2 fic), and RikuxOC with RXN thrown in there, Crossovers(depending on what the crossover is) KH3 (or KH2 sequel fics that may take place years, or months or whatever after KH2) fics.

Stories I don't like: Anything Yaoi and Yuri, High School fics, AU fics...That's all I can think of for now...
