Sorry Yomi I never read posts properly hehe, don't take it personally.
Cuz ur posts are always in paragraphs ^^;; and me...I got weird eyes who can't read paragraphs properly, so I usually put spaces between the things I type, or highlight it when I read.
Yes I agree with the scrit writing with Chinese. Since it is my first Language, I'm much better at it than English.
Example: (it's in Chinese Traditional Big 5)
Someone: §A³oÓ¥Õ·ö!!!! *¶^Ë* ªü~~~¦nµh!
Translation: someone: you idiot! *trips* owww
Paragraph:
"§A³oÓ¥Õ·ö!" Someone Ãä§qÃä¶]...¹³ÓºÆ¤l, ¥i¬O¤£¤p¤ß¶^˨à¶^¤@Óª¯¦Y«Ë. "ªü~~~ ¦nµh"
Translation: "You idiot!" someone yelled as he ran like a maniac, but tripped and fell over painfuly. "Owww~~~ that hurts"
hope some of u would understand ^^;; sorry Sammi if you can't understand! Cuz it's not simplified Chinese ^^;;

Cuz ur posts are always in paragraphs ^^;; and me...I got weird eyes who can't read paragraphs properly, so I usually put spaces between the things I type, or highlight it when I read. Hmm...I write my reviews for your fics in paragraphs, in fact, anything I do is in paragraphs - no wonder I always get the feeling that I always have to repeat myself when I talk to you. Does this mean that I shouldn't bother reviewing your fics anymore? Because I don't think I'll be able to get my thoughts down into one line, and I really don't want to waste my time on a review that I know the author won't fully read. Yes I agree with the scrit writing with Chinese. Since it is my first Language, I'm much better at it than English.???WTH? Sorry - from the translation you gave, I don't see what you're trying to say here. Even if you turned it into Chinese, the script version still[/u] wasn't funny. And I was saying that even if I (for gods sakes PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU RESPOND) was to write a fic in CHINESE, I STILL WON'T write a SCRIPT FIC. The script example - whether it be English OR Chinese - is merely composed of sound effects - there is NOTHING VISUAL about it, hence not funny. Forget it. Like Silva Sun, you have an emotional attachment to script fics as she does with Pierce, hence you wouldn't have anything substantive to say. Yomi PS - if you can't read paragraphs, how on earth did you even get through books like HP? Y

Cuz it's not simplified Chinese ^^;; It's ok ^^;; I can understand I've been in a Traditional Chinese class for almost three years About the translation, I think the paragraph form is better. The script one - just like in English - told us who it is, what he/she is saying and described his/her action in the most simple words. Gah, I'm confused >_<

Umm... I actually can read paragraphs... no, I did not read ur post properly because ur post wasn't directly above mine, I didn't post my post after your post, I only read the post that was above me properly. And...er if you read my post properly I actually meant that I AGREE with you about Chinese script writing is bad in stories.... maybe I didn't put it in the correct words. But what the heck, you know what I mean. Next time if you review I'll read it properly....well if you want to review it. It's just me and paragraphs, I would perfer paragraphs with spaces in between ^^;; (if you would call that paragraphs) but you don't need to do that, I'll just set my eyes fixed and read it properly. Harry Potter books? I got through it fine dunno why, probably it was interesting or something

That's what you said. No I did not understand what you were trying to say because first you're talking about script writing, then you're talking about how your Chinese is better than your English and I don't see how the two sentences together make any sense. Are you saying that I wouldn't know a script fic was bad because my Chinese isn't good enough, or are you saying that you thought you might have given bad examples because your English wasn't good enough?
Either way - if a chinese script fic sucks, it's English counterpart will do no better - regardless of whether it's your first or second language. First or second language shouldn't even have been a consideration in the first place - that's just an excuse for crappy spelling and bad grammar and no plot.
Excuse me. I had to laugh. Craziest logic I've ever seen that I don't know whether it's just a really bad excuse or just crazy logic. Have it your way - I really couldn't care less now.
Got to ponder on new fic.

Yomi!! >< stop jumping to conclusions!! I'm not saying ur Chinese is bad! I never heard u speak or wrote Chinese before AND also u speak Cantonese and I speak Mandarin, they are two completely different dialects. That WAS and IS a logic, because that is what I do. Not a stupid excuse. come back to the script thingy for a sec... Not ALL Chinese or English script writings are that bad! It's just from people's point of view, they're not that crappy...people have opinions on story-writings. Sometimes I get a good laugh from reading a script story. ohhhh shoot >< Japanese exam tomorrow >< >< gotta study!!! opps off topics gomen XD

I will say this for the very last time. Please READ this before you make any comments. I'm looking at script fics objectively - something which you are UNABLE to do because you have an emotional attachment to script fics which doesn't allow you to TRULY consider and weigh the negative aspects accordingly. A Script fic which 'provides a good laugh', but is devastatingly lacking in all other departments - is a crap fic. I'm glad you like it, but it will be a crap fic. And like I said - prose fics can provide a 'good laugh' as well, so why does it have to be script? Because the author is crappy. This is one of the most hilarious HP fics I've read - it's crazy, it's insane, the characters are OOC, it barely has a plot - but it's prose! www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1319494Read it and weep.

Is anyone else having problems with FFnet today besides me?
Script fics can be good, depending on the summary. This means that I personally have no emotional attachment to them, nor do I look at them objectively.
So there.
Hey Yomi? Are you in college? It's just that your writing and thoughts seem REALLY advanced compared to mine...hehehe... ;D
Talk to you people laterz!

Yomi...
Like I said, it depends on people's POV whether they are crappy or not, to me with Chinese script writing I reckon..is much better than the English script writing. I find it more amusing than paragraphs but still paragraphs are better. <<-- and that still depends on how ppl look at it
Every style of writing has their own good points Yomi

Hmm...that's a way I haven't looked at script fics before. Do you mean to say that you look at whether the story is good? And you think that a plot can be better executed in script form rather than prose? Gladly like to hear you elaborate on that. You don't understand what objective means. I'm dealing in fact. I'm looking at whether a script fic is actually, factually, a good piece of writing. I'm also looking at whether the format is capable of expressing a real story, considering factors such as: detail, expression, movement, scenes, emotions. If you're still reading this, what I mean to say is script fics which DO include these factors are VERY CLOSE to becoming prose fics - they just need to get rid of the brackets and string up the sentences. YOUR example however, is an example of a bad piece of writing - which is still a bad piece of writing irrespective of your precious POV. masami: just read the fic! so it's got some cursing in it, ok...maybe not everyone finds Harry saying certain foul things funny...but it was just an example of a fic which could easily have been in script format but is in prose which is ultra hilarious. I don't think so - I've just had too much time to sit around reading articles on writing (articles by published authors Yumiko - I'm sure their 'POVs' mean more than the fangirls at ff.net who think that grammar and spelling is not pre-requisite to good writing) fanfics and fics in general. I don't think your writing is inferior to me or anything. What gave you that idea?! Yomi

Here is where someone tries to cover all the bases in an argument. So you're saying script is better than paragraphs when it comes to amusement, but paragraphs are still better?! I'm not "attacking" you Yumiko; I just want to know what you're trying to say here. Yeah - people say that script fics are good for humor. Accepted, BUT how do you explain why THIS story: www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1319494is so damn hilarious but doesn't NEED to be in script form then? So if prose stories (aka fics with sentences and paragraphs) can be so ultra funny (I'm sure Fibby's example is excellent as well), then exactly WHAT pros are there to script writing? It seems like prose can be EVEN FUNNIER than script fics - so you tell me, what other good points are there in script fics that prose fics don't have? I can't argue with you on the Chinese fic point anymore. The script fics that I have read smacks of utter laziness as do the English ones. I usually only read the HisoxIllumi Chinese fics and I only thank the external forces that they mostly happen to be in prose. My favourite author is Semon - read his fics and weep: anayu.hp.infoseek.co.jp/fic/yy2/unrelated1.htmlanayu.hp.infoseek.co.jp/fic/yy9/nowforever.htmlThe ability to render me depressed for days with the fic has made me rever him (?) utterly. He's a bloody good author - so show me one of these really funny chinese script fics then - I'd love to see what you find is a good script fic and whether it is really what you're cutting it out to be.
