Deviation Actions
So, I've barely been writing recently. I've removed the section of my profile on fanfiction where I was offering to write requests, mainly because I've been working on original fiction now. I will post something on the odd occasion over there, but mainly I've been inactive.
So it was a surprise to me to get a review for an older story over there, yet I wasn't happy when I read it.
"Ya I have a request, (I know I'm a author too but people need to start writing these) a Oh! Edo rocket fic. Ginjiro x Akai please."
First of all, it should be "an" not "a" Oh! Edo fic, same with "an" author, not "a". Grammatical errors (even though I do make them as well) annoy me. Secondly, if you're going to review someone's story, review their damn story. Don't use it as a means to say, "Hey, write in this world. I know you only really write for a single fandom, but hey- you won't mind reading/watching something entirely new just to write a request for me, right?" Especially when you don't follow me, fave me, or review anything else that I've ever written.
It's kinda annoying. I write for myself, for my friends, and some of my stories, yes, were written because I know my fans (that is so odd to say, tbh; me, fans?) would enjoy them. But I write first of all for me, because it is something I enjoy doing, not because I feel obligated to write.
I know I'm not the first person to gripe about this, but getting a review is something I look forward to- sometimes they're what I need to work on an unfinished fic, to spur me into writing something new, or just an upper for my day. Something so selfish as to use it just to beg for a fic from a fandom I've never heard of? That peeves me.

Well
Well, now that I have taken a few days after reading it, I have to say that I seem to be in the minority on Soul Eater's ending and chapter 113. I know that a lot of people have flamed it (to the point that some people have lost my respect for their immature attitudes and overall childishness), and I know that a lot of people have hoped it was a gag chapter and would be rewritten.
I liked it.
I enjoyed the return to the lighthearted atmosphere that we've been missing for a while. Yes, the boobs thing was over the top, but it made me smile.
As for Stein and Marie? They're canon. OMFG they're canon and I couldn't be happier. I fangirl'd for
Devious Journal Entry
So, I am aware that my profile is very plain. Sorry for that- I greatly admire all of you that are able to fill yours with beautiful pictures, but I can barely make a stick figure look like a person :) I'm a writer (and I hope you agree with me about that) and I'm just now coming here from fanfiction.net to start posting some stuff. Thanks for taking the time to look at this though! :D
