Quote:Oh, agreed -- that was the point I was trying to make. I like the idea, but I don't like the execution. It broke -- shattered -- suspension of disbelief for me, because it deviated so widely from anything that could be justified with canon. I like stories that start from canon, and show you something that could be there that you just never saw -- but after a very promising start, Skysaber just started in with one asspull after another.
Not talking about what happens to them, but rather the evaluation of Nabiki in this story. I don't think Nabiki is anywhere near that oblivious, unintelligent, or sleazy in the original.
Kasumi being an olympic-class athlete, and Nabiki not noticing at all, is the thing that really throws me off.
Quote:More agreement, although what I want to see him finish is Featherbrite's Tale (though he's clearly using the Addventure as a medium for stories with long-term plans, usually in collaboration with another poster named Kender). Retake is finished, although the ending isn't quite satisfactorily handled. (I've noticed over the years that when Gregg pegs an ending, it's spectacular, and when he doesn't, it's almost always "meh".)
I think I'd heard Metroanime was writing addventure stuff, but I was more thinking of regular fanfics. Like... well, I'd say Retake, but poking around it looks like it's supposedly finished. I'm not sure it really feels finished though.
