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.

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.

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



Sad is happy for deep people.

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.

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

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.
