LOL loved reading these. Last one. Those make my eyes bleed and form headaches. I use shorthand once in awhile but even when it calls for it in IMs or whatever, I have a hard time. I blame typing class! Hehe Bravo! Can't wait for more. :D
K again, I'm breaking my normal habit. I have to agree... that imagery was just, wrong! Scary actually. *shivers*
K normally I wait until I have read the last chapter posted before giving a review but this chapter hit soooo home. If the summary doesn't pull me in, 9 times out of 10 I will NOT read it. Scary! LOL *off to read the others*
Love it!!! You're right, it is sad the computer registered 'luv' as a word... technology is slowly turning to harm our writing skills, rather than help, with all the auto-spelling/grammar checking... some of which only weakens the writing. *sigh* Oh well... great job, I wonder what you'll parody next in the flaws of fanfiction. Until next time!
ugh, I know what you mean! People, whatever age you set such characters at (specifically little Rin here), STICK WITH IT!!! Don't wash back and forth, from "oh, you're so grown up and maturing, already a young woman" if you're going to revert back to "little infant" or "sweet little girl." Only mothers have that privilege, as they will never truly accept that their children are growing up. MLMonty, I love what you're doing, you're helping sooo many with common errors that all-too frequently fill online works.
The text-type chapters are some of the most annoying to read.
It is really disturbing that your program's dictionary recognizes "luv" as an actual word. I guess that is what happens when a mis-spelled word gets used too much. I remember an incident in one of my high school English classes, where we were doing little exercises in editing grammatically incorrect sentences. In one example, confusion between "light" and "lite" came up . . . some students thought "light" referred to illumination and "lite" referred to weight and the amount of calories in food. **Sighs** That was an honors English class, too.
Anyways, thanks for another great chapter. Keep up the good work. :)
AH! My tummy hurts from laughing so much!
I LOVE you! I might build a shrine in your name. You've caught every fan fiction moment that makes me want to shoot myself in the face and you portrayed it perfectly.
Keep writing, I love it all!

There are so many parodies I want you to write, but it seems like all the authors are friends, and I don't want to insult anyone. Haha.
Theres one thats so annoying to me that I'm not even afriad to insult anyone. Have you seen those God-awful cell phone txt stories.
Kags (without saying full name in story) said to S3shy( once again, Sesshomaru hasn't been stated in story),"Lol, sh3 shud think b4 sh3 tlks nxt tim. Sh3s so stoopid!"
Kinkyho says to Kags, "WUTEV3R! ur jus mad cuz no1 luvs u, so stfu u stopid bitch.
I mean, am I the only one that is bothered by these? I'm typing this review on my cell phone, so there is no excuse for writing that bad. UGHHHH!
Well, theres my rant suggestion. Haha.

Oh Please (Chapter 12) - Wed 26 Aug 2009
Ok, are you reading my mind?
I've read a few of your chapters, and want to invite you to visit my rant on my fanfiction.com profile of "Oh Please". You will find many of your same thoughts in my pet peeves section that has been up for years. Too funny that there are others out there who can't stand these same things.
I bow to your ingenius approach at making it into a parody. If there are any thoughts in my pet peeves section that you like, I give you full permission to plagarize and borrow.
I hope somewhere in your parody you have a nod to authors who apologize for their works and those who shamelessly blackmail reviews "I won't post the next chapter until I get [insert number] reviews!" I can almost picture the childish, foot-stomping, tantrum.
Great story.

At loss for words... But you are so right!
lol just read chapter 4. I nearly cried from laughing so hard.
I have to admit, I have my characters talk a little like that (not to such extremeties, but still noticable), but seeing my first fic was an alternate universe/fairytale castle thingie, it fit for the higher royal dialogue. Still, the only one who almost seemed normal speaking that way was Sesshoumaru, and even that was a little... much. Good job!
Ah, how entertaining! I know, I hate it when people use the wrong words (though sometimes it can be confusing... that's why you should always look over your work carefully!) Wonderful! *Odd, she does not appear to be a tool used to twist objects so she cannot possibly be a wrench...* Love it! XD
You had me gigglesnorting during chapter 18 and yes, it does sound like Mojo Jojo. *lol*
Tilayha (Chapter 19) - Tue 18 Aug 2009
I laughed so hard my stomach hurts! You made a very good point on this one. A point I have never thought of!
Midoriko speaks to Kagome in my story due to the link between her and the jewel, not due to any family ties. I made sure of that. But it never crossed my mind that it was silly when she is referred to as the past life of Kikyou and Kagome!
People write like this? Seriously? Wow.
first of all hahaha second im a dork and read shakespears for fun(outside of school dorky i know) and i hardly ever have to go back and reread the lines but this i had to reread like 6 times just to figure out what they were saying. i hate that so many people do that espically when the try to wright lines for
Sesshomaru it just annoys the crap out of me. so thank you thank you for writing this so other people can see this and hopfully learn so thanks
oh please (Chapter 4) - Thu 13 Aug 2009
That was too funny. I have often wondered if withering during a lemony scene were some new slang among the younger spelling-challenged authors. I'm so glad to see that's not the case. I'm embarassed to say, I read this in the bathroom at work and laughed out loud. Luckily no one else heard and thought me odd. I will have to fallow your story and read some more when at home. Keep up the good work.

Oh! Spot on! All of these are cringe worthy! It's appalling how many stories have these errors. It's common sense, for pete's sakes! Your work will not go to waste---I am definitely taking your advice and in the future will avoid making these no-no's in Sess/Kag fic.
Sarah (Chapter 18) - Thu 13 Aug 2009
This fic is lots of fun. Here are a few more ideas:
characters interacting with the author before and/or after each chapter
using the wrong homonym, like there instead of their
