Ah, hey? 9 fic-writers? Yeah, just a few moments of your time, please.

Yes, the 9 universe takes place in an alternate timeline, an AU of our world, if you will. But please bear in mind, it also took place in the past. Yeah, those are some kick-ass machines, but it's more of steampunk style, not modern-day machine style.

Which means that there are no iPods, no laptops, no Gameboys. There is NONE of that stuff. The Stitchpunks didn't listen to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" on earbuds connected to an iPod. So stop making them find this stuff, please and thank you.

Tweets from @Rob_Thurman (probably of a useless and irrelevant nature. Beware.)

11:42 Forgot what a great movie The 13th Warrior is (actually liked it better than the book...blasphemy.) Never seen so many men who couldn't-- #

Ordinarily I'd insist that dialogue from two different speakers always goes in two different paragraphs. But when the two paragraphs in question look like this:

Merlin said "That's none of your business" at the same time as Will said

"Yes."


Or like this:

Feeling the panic rising he called

"Arthur!" just as Arthur bellowed

"Merlin!"


Since both examples constitute single sentences with paragraph breaks in the middle, I think we can make an exception to the new-speaker-new-paragraph rule, don't you?

And when it looks like this:

Morgana looked at Gwen, and said,

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you any of this." Then she turned to Arthur.

"Our fathers knew each other. [...]" Her voice was steady, but thick with anger and accusation.


That's one speaker. One paragraph's probably good. Failing that, think you could find some way to redo the paragraphs so no one has to reread them to realize it's one speaker, not two? Name the speaker in each paragraph, end the first paragraph with a line of dialogue that doesn't end in a quotation mark, something.

Dear Camp Rock ficcer

I am not exactly a member of your fandom, but I watched the movie. It was fun enough, in a Disney Channel way. However, your idea of an AU where Camp Rock was a special music camp for disabled kids had promise. The idea of Mitchie being blind and Shane having Asperger's and Social Anxiety Disorder was enough to make me want to read your fic to see how you'd pull it off, especially as I have a mild form of SAD myself.

ASDFGH

I don't even know where to begin, but let's start with the obvious. Someone would not go blind from getting soap in their eyes. Unless their home liquid soap dispenser is filled with some kind of soap/lye mixture. And if someone got soap in their eyes, the doctors would certainly not respond by SEDATING THEM AND LETTING THE ACID SOAP OF DOOM BURN THEIR EYES OUT because "There's nothing we can do for her".

...I mean the idea of a disabilityfic remix of Camp Rock set in some sort of postapocalyptic world where all medical knowledge has been lost is actually kind of cool, but I don't think that's what you were going for.

Clicking the back button before I get to the part about social anxiety disorder, thanks.
