[Entei_3000]

I have a Fan-Fic and I want to find out what everyone else thinks of it. I've had it up for awhile, but now hardly anyone has commented, and I want to know what I can do to make it better.

My Fan-Fic is called 'Lezlie, a Special Girl With A Special Gift'.

To be honest, I've alawys noticed it was there. But you want to know one possible reason barely anybody(including me) is reading/commenting?

The title is cheesy.

It's lengthy, repetitive, and sounds odd. Some people around here might think it's a nooby story just by that title. O_o

Well I couldn't think of anything else. You can't judge a book by its cover.

Actually, being a disabled person, the title always makes me think of someone making fun of a girl with a learning disablity like me :(. So I've never read it :P

That is flat out burnage! xD Lezlie, a girl with a not so special gift. Orange, oh, too much laughing...

Yes, I'm crude, mean, a jerk, a spammer, etc. I've never read the story, but I'll look into reading it. ^^ (Lol, if you want someone like me reading it. xD *Shot*)

I did not mean to flame :(. I did not mean it like that, it's just something about the repeating of the world 'Special' set me off, being under special ed for most of my life. I dunno, I guess I link it to teasing too easliy..

@Entei: Use a thesaurus next time. ^^;

No, I didn't mean it like that either. For some reason, I started laughing. I took it the wrong way. O.O;; So sorry. I didn't mean to, you know, tick you off or something.

Oh, I wasn't ticked off, maybe a little hurt, but this issue dates back to when I was your age ;)

*Sighs with relief* Thats good. I'm glad I didn't anger you too much.

I don't understand what you mean, Hoshika.

[Hoshika]

I don't understand what you mean, Hoshika.

Do you know what a thesaurus is at all?! O_o

Um, no. *Hides in corner out of embarassment*

A thesaurus is a book filled with words. Hoshika- Take it from here. :D

=P

A thesaurus is a book filled with words and other words that have the same meaning.

Type in a word(like... soft) and words that have the same meaning are shown. Maybe even words that mean the opposite!

I didn't use advanced vocabulary because I got scared you wouldn't know what synonyms or antonyms are, either. >_>

*lol* Well, I have taken all the English classes (and am an English major) at my college and I have to say that sometimes I forget what all the -onyms words mean as well :). That is I can use them just fine, just don't have me define them off the top of my head :P.

A thesaurus is:
The word thesaurus is derived from 16th century New Latin, in turn from Latin thesaurus, from ancient Greek θησαυρός thesauros, "store-house", "treasury". Besides its meaning as a treasury or storehouse, it more commonly means a listing of words with similar, related, or opposite meanings (this new meaning of thesaurus dates back to Roget's Thesaurus). For example, a book of jargon for a specialized field; or more technically a list of subject headings and cross-references used in the filing and retrieval of documents (or indeed papers, certificates, letters, cards, records, texts, files, articles, essays and perhaps even manuscripts), film, sound recordings, machine-readable media, etc.

The first example of this genre, Roget's Thesaurus, was published in 1852, having been compiled earlier, in 1805, by Peter Roget. Entries in Roget's Thesaurus are not listed alphabetically but conceptually and are a great resource for writers.

Although including synonyms and antonyms, entries in a thesaurus should not be taken as a list of them. The entries are also designed for drawing distinctions between similar words and assisting in choosing exactly the right word. Nor does a thesaurus entry define words. That work is left to the dictionary.



says wikipedia :)

It is also overused alot by fanfic authors who often use a different meaning if a word rather than the simple one in order to make their writing appear more 'deep' sometimes, without seeing if the word really fits into context :P

But in this case what Hoshika is saying is you could come up with a better word to replace 'Special' in your title by using a thesaurus :). I think that your title could just be very simple like just having your characters name as the title and be a lot better :P. Try to think of your stories theme and message, what is the mood of your story?

Hoshika, I think you're being a little harsh. I love Entei's story, and I don't think the title sounds "cheesy" at all.

[Entei_3000]

I think I get it now. Boy, there's my lesson for the day. I could have asked my mom to let me read that and be done with school for the day (Just joking).
