Wow, I really want to rewrite Scyther's Story. Maybe I'll redo it for NaNoWriMo and try to get it to 50,000 words - a lot of it feels quite rushed, especially the last couple of parts.

Oh yeah. First comment. :3
…personally I like it how it is. Really. It doesn't need changed.
Butterfree (04/29/2010 17:05:37)
Oh, it does. It really, really does.

But then you will make it even more awesome and I'll end up crying more! D: (Really, I cry whenever I read Scyther's Story)
But there's probably no way to stop you. Go for it. *Prepares tissues*

I suppose I can't stop you from rewriting it either, I like it as is right now, but you will improve on it. Soo… ok rewrite it then. =D

I personally think Scyther's Story was one of the most brilliant pieces you've ever written, but judging on your opinion of it, it might sound more like an insult than a compliment. Grargh.
Just remember to tell us when and which parts are being updated. I wouldn't mind reading it a third time.
Butterfree (04/30/2010 00:00:53)
Honestly? It's so aimless and pointless and poorly written and improperly thought out. :/ All I can think about when I read it is how much better I could do it now.

Too lazy to log in…Butterfree spammer!!
You are a master at making me cry with Scyther's Story. But I had a feeling that you'd end up rewriting it. I love your Scyther society, and it's inspired me to do a story of Nidoran society, and Feraligatr society as well. I feel that you've opened up a whole new genre of Pokemon fanfiction.
Whatever you do with it, I'll always love Scyther's Story(and tFoaL of course).

@SilverLatios47: I considered the same thing (different pokemon, obviously), but I haven't been in a writing mood lately and everything I start writing I tend to abandom. :/

Most of it was quite well-written, except for the last chapter. You were right - it did seem rushed.

Hello. I like Scyther's Story as-is, but if you feel that you must rewrite it, then please make sure to keep the one up now up with it, like you did for the rewrites of TQftL. I really really want to be able to read the original even after it (might be) rewritten. :)

Heh. The only thing off I ever noticed about Scyther's Story was that it felt a bit thin and in need of fleshing out. But you're the master of rewriting, so who are we to argue with you? xP
Butterfree (04/30/2010 16:17:45)
But it has way too many paragraph breaks! D: And awkwardly worded sentences all over the place and the entirety of part six is just so off and I should be showing more instead of telling and there are so many things about the society itself that just don't work.
Superbird (04/30/2010 19:35:17)
OK, you can rewrite it. But keep the original available so we can still see its original glory.

I wonder if we'll have another 7-years worth of rewrites for Scyther's Story. :P
Butterfree (05/01/2010 03:20:23)
Well, seeing as it's already complete, it would never be quite like TQftL's revision thing - TQftL's completion has actually been held back by it and made the fic ongoing for so very long. No matter how often I revise something like Scyther's Story, it will be a complete work; rather than seven years' worth of rewrites, it would just be a so and so many individual rewrites with so and so many years in between.
