Allow me to point out your mistakes for future reference.

Thank you Odjn.

Now we have all learned a valuable lesson.

So I kinda think Odjn should make a love and relationships thread. Where he gives out advice. On love and relationships.

I think it would be very informative.

Aye, maybe he could tell me how to get my ex to stop calling me even after 6 months...

That Kirby2000 person? About on par with her. Stephanie Meyer? Actually more readable. I read Twilight because I felt guilty - I've defended things with the "You only know about it through hearsay and rumor" line, so I needed first hand evidence. I now use it as my baseline, anything worse needs to be burned at once. By fanfiction standards Twilight is passable, if someone I knew was like "Please read this for free, because you like me as a person" I'd read it. But I digress. My ex's writing was pretty much as bad as that Kirby2000 person. Not as bad as Half-life:Full life consequences, but not as fun to make fun of.
All in all, I can feel the blood leaking around around the gray matter was destroyed reading this.

You don't know what you're talking about, Full Life Consequences was a masterpiece of modern literature. "The birds and the sun was almost down from the top of the sky!"

But yes, I'd say honesty is key in this situation. Not blunt or brutal honesty, but there are problems that need to be fixed and it's your job to point them out. That's how constructive criticism works - assuming the author is okay with criticism, it should be win-win.

Bright side is, I'm completely over her now. Because I fancy myself a writer... I read stuff better than me every day, but I consider myself fairly adept for my age and training level. Now, I read extremely fast. It's a bit of an advantage, like having a really high bluff is to diplomacy. She doesn't read much at all. Which is like trying to cook when you're 89 pounds and 5'8.

Especially since I doubt your ex'es fanfic came with techno remixes and machinima

So anyway since I already linked Kirby2000's fanfic account...

At least nothing Kirby2000 wrote was actually published.
