The Fanfiction Forum E-zine ~ June 2007

[Hyperness is a Good Thing]

Was just idly browsing through the Fanfic forum and this caught my eye... I started off with the Grammar Nazi article, it caught me up in it and ended up reading the whole e-zine. Just wanted to say, I really enjoyed Master of Paradox's article, interesting and educational(gosh I sound like a prat. *winces*). Kudos to faiz for a good job editing. ^_^

Someone actually got absorbed in my article? Aww... I feel special. And surprised. ^_^;;

Very interesting article, Houndoom. I admit that I agree with some things and disagree with others, but that's because you really chose a difficult and controversial set of "theses" for your article. Nice job, though; it's always a good thing when you get people talking. (On a side note, since when is my hatred of the-site-which-should-not-be-named a rumor? )

Excellent topic for your piece as well, MoP. That's something I struggle with sometimes myself. It's a difficult thing, because I'm currently trying to write original works for a young audience, so it's hard to balance proper language and intensity. That one really hit home for me. You make very good points about the language fitting the characters; that's definitely crucial, and I was glad you mentioned the target audience as well. From what I've seen, that tends to be ignored sometimes in discussions of such matters. Anyway, good argument! I really liked the standards and conflicts you mentioned.

And Faiz, you deserve ample credit for finishing your first E-zine so soon into your modship. Very nice job! It looks sharp.
