URPG Stories Chat and Feedback

Picking up on Alaska's post: Pichuboy said he would grade my story, but he hasn't. It's been over a week, I've been asking him to do it via VM. Can someone else grade my story? I'm starting to lose interest in this game.

My story is here.

 

PichuBoy's currently in Rome, so you're going to have to be patient -- unless you really really want a new grader, in which case you would usually have to check with PichuBoy to see if that's okay. But even still, you have to be patient with grades -- not all of them take under a week, although we're sort of trying to aim that way. People do have lives and other things to do, y'know.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but the thing I'd suggest most would be to wait. I'm sure you can survive a while without your Poochyena (which is available in the mart anyway).

 

Adding to Buoy's comment, a lot of people who do things like Grading have a lot of other things going on irl. School, work, holidays, vacation...even shorter stories can take several days to get Graded when you don't have to time to sit and work on it. Heck I waited well over a week for a story not even 13k characters long to get Graded.

Real-life stuff is more important than online stuff, so don't take it personally if it seems your stories are taking a long time to get Graded. It'll be gotten to eventually, just gotta have some patience and give people to get their stuff in order is all.

Speaking of stories and waiting, I'm afraid how long the "all-Simples" story I'm planning will take to get Graded once it's done >_>. I mean it won't be THAT long, but still...

 

I want to claim that in advance :3

 

Well, Montecatini actually, BUT OKAY.

[mention]Denyor[/mention]Yeah, Buoy and T_T pretty much covered everything. I'm sorry I'm taking so long, but with my trip to Italy combined with school, I claimed your story in a moment of insanity. x.x I'm in my school break now, so I promise you I will get it done within 24 hours.

 

:3 I can use a story pass to knock it down to 268000 characters, but I'm not sure how many characters I'll actually net. But if I can get even half those that's still about 26 Mon. That's still quite a few Pokemon and lots of money for evolving them :3.

 

I usually scan these for stories, but I tend to only grab those over 30k, but if you have 20k and want a grade just drop me a message.​

 

Sounds good! Let me know where you post it (perhaps in the same story thread, so it's all together, if you want).

I DON'T KNOW ;-; BMG must not like me, is all.

This looks pretty good! Yeah, the captures are all over the place, but I think this would be a good references for authors who would like to try for multiple captures. (And that even the best of stories have their faults.) You and Ataro did a good job on summarizing the faults and fixes, too, which is great.

Um, can I make a fanfic of an existing storyline/include Pokémon in it or would that count towards plagiarism?

If it matters, the storyline in question is the plot behind Magic: The Gathering's set: Innistrad.

 

Fanfics are acceptable -- it's not plagiarism if you follow the basic storyline, I think. Kai-Mei wrote a story for two Rotom or something that pretty much was The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.

 

I think adaptations are really neat. Just be sure to include credit to where the idea came from really. It's fun to see other stories applied to the Pokemon realm.

 

I did a crossover with Hellsing :3.

You can use whatever you want for your stories, but like Winter said, make sure you credit the original source/author.

 

All right, thanks ^__^

 

So, perhaps it's old-hat for me to be talking about something as historical as the WWC, but I just read "Imagine That," and all I can say is I couldn't stop. Yes, it's over 500,000 characters long. I don't care. Anyone who has ever read "Harry Potter" has read something as long or longer anyways, and I dare say that this story moves along in a fashion at least as gripping. @Magikchicken; - you definitely deserve to be commended on your work, and I believe that you most certainly deserve the successes you saw in the competition. (successes that I did absolutely nothing to contribute to, I may add...) 0.o; Voting must have been a nightmare...

 

What voting?

 

HEY GUYS. I'm back.

And @Morru Magnum: "Plagiarism" is technically when you either copy something word for word without citing (thus claiming as your own) or when you steal idea for idea without shifting it into your own voice/interpretation (again without citing). Just make sure you don't carbon-copy and/or paraphrase the exact dialogue, character, and plot structures and then just be like ALSO THERE WAS A POKEMON BATTLE OR SOMETHING.

Am I just blind, or is Sigilyph missing from the "Mon's by Difficulty" list?
