:'(Awww....you know that there's a site which has scanlated HxH manga into English? It's a very good scanlation, done by Toriyama world: www.toriyamaworld.comThey've got up to volume 14 scanlated - so with bit torrent (just a program you can download for free), get the volumes downloaded and read away. Besides, reading manga's fun, PLUS you get to know the characters as well. I should know - I'm trying to sound intelligent when it comes to nen, only to realize that apart from the 6 hatsu abilities, I know nothing else. Can't write a fanfic with that kind of knowledge. Keep going Fibby - need more humorous fics! Yomi

The Nen abilities? There are lots of info on that though some of them aren't even right. You can just use your imagination, and create your own weapons and stuff, I guess. The manga doesn't tell us that much about Nen either - only the basics and what Nen those characters have.

There is?! I'll go check it out once I have time. Academics is a real pain. >_< I guess I'll try. But I know I'm digging my own grave. ^^;

Hmm...I just read through the Celestial Tower chapter, and Wing is chock full of information, especially on how to use Ten and Ren. That kind of detail no one hardly ever delves into in fanfics.
Togashi went to a LOT of trouble to define nen, so it's not something that I can just use my 'imagination' to supplement. It would be an insult to Togashi and the time he spent.
And then there's Kurapika's sensei who told him all about the condition and the pledge. Ask that of any Hunter author, and they'll probably go "um..er...it's the thing that Kurapika has around his heart" --> wrong answer - go back to the manga and learn it all again.

>> Yumi Henka --> transforming your aura into a different substance (?) (e.g.: Hisoka - bunjee gum; Killua - electricity (was it?)) Gugenka --> using your aura to create something (e.g.: Kurapica-sama - Chains; Shizuku - Deme-chan) Bleh, I'm bad at explaining things Hmm...I just read through the Celestial Tower chapter, and Wing is chock full of information, especially on how to use Ten and Ren.

Yomi Yeah, there are lots of details about Nen in the manga. And they're all complicated. Then again, I guess if you really like HxH, you should know all that stuff.

i got to read the finished product at fanfiction.net (The Definition of our Existence) and i lament. you guys don't know her, but i do, and kayle is just soooo her that it's getting too personal for me, like i'm reading her most private thoughts that she's translated into a story. and once again, predictably too, it's starting to look morbid and depressing. have you guys also read Hunter Works? it started out light-hearted and her best attempt at being humorous but look how fast the story has taken a plunge down the dark end. have you guys actually listened to the classical music pieces that she recommends at the naxos site? it's melancholic, depressing music. that girl is seriously moody and in need of help. pity that i'm no good with creative stuff and can't give her any helpful reviews. well, one reviewer is turned off by the created character already. i wonder if the fic will be successful then. azzy

I liked her story, and as I said in the review, I can't give any useful review either. Hmm.... maybe she needs to read something funny, or maybe she's under too much stress from school.... >< Sorry I can't help much here.... edit: I'd like to help though - if there's anything I can do, please tell me.

Ohhh.....*FINALLY gets it* ^^ Haha, that kinda reminds me of myself, favoring depressing music and making stories that reflect my life (I made a fiction of my life-based story. Ech. ) Hope this passes soon......um, can u convince Yomi-san to come back and post, Azile-san? Even for a short while...

OC is a killer, I mean to write... you always had to have a good background and nature for the OC. Yomi-san is very good in describing characters, so I hope that this OC would have more attention from the readers soon. But it's always a good thing if someone make a corrections for your fic, so I want to know whether Yomi is going to burn that reviewer or not ;D anyway, like what Yomi stated, critics are trying to help, so don't kill them with your Hades' flame, heh...
