TOSOT trivia!The more I go back and try to fix this monstrosity, the more it's becoming clear that I have an OBSESSION with the word "eyes". For the record, I use that word 352 times in TOSOT.
Apparently I'm obsessed with body parts in general because I mention "mouth" 114 times, "head" 249 times, and "arm(s)" 237 times.

And we're all strangely OK with that.
EDIT-
why did I even say strangely? For IDOJ, that isn't really all that strange.
although sometimes, I do wonder.

That's more times than I use the relatively common words "or", "see", "go", and "OK". And that's after cutting out as many instances of "eyes" as I could during the first edit. W.T.FFFFFF..

I'm pretty sure I do that in my novel as well. Eyes is definitely one of the most commonly used words. It showed up in my Wordle of the entire manuscript--and I made that in like, February. I'm sure the word will only be larger if I were to make one now

Just look at the lyrics!
I can't escape this hell
So many times I've tried
But I'm still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
So what if you can see
The darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal, This animal)
I can't escape myself
So many times I've lied
But there's still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
So what if you can see
The darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become!
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
etc.
It's ridiculous how much it fits

I never even got to the future Sheen, Jimmy, or Carl...
Anyways, I know you are thinking: "Oh...you couldn't do any better! It's better that yours!" But when you think of it, I've listen to some TERRIBLE writting from kids who don't like Harry Potter...so, I think you can't say that just because someone doesn't like a STORY-LINE it means that they don't like the WRITING ITSELF ... Anyways. I don't know exactly why I didn't like TOSOT, it is just my personal opinion.
I just needed to get that off my cheast...I've been needing to for a long time!

Can't you be more specific?Well...I did say I didn't know what I didn't like about it... There are just some story-lines I am not fond of.
When I reveiewed TOSOT I mentioned that there were a lot of things I really liked, and some things I didn't. I clearly explained the things that didn't really fit my "taste", and what I thought could be done to improve them, if anything (after all, some of it was just pure personal preference and not something that needed fixing))
When you say "certain story lines you are not fond of", I don't really get what you mean. Are you saying you didn't like the PLOT? Was it too complicated/slow-paced/fast-paced/dialogue-heavy/what? Did you not like the cast of characters? The overarching themes? When you post on an author's topic that you don't like their fic, you need to be very clear about WHY. Cuz otherwise how else can they improve?
Also, do you think you'd like TOSOT better now that it's not in script format anymore but is now re-written like an actual book? Cause that was distracting for a lot of people, I know

Look. I. do. not. know. I don't know! Maybe I did sorta find the alternate demension differences a bit confusion.
I wasn't fond of some of the cast too. I mean, I know they were in war, and that may be the whole point of this...but It makes me get upset when everyone seems to be warriors and/or geniuses.
I didn't find the jokes to be funny (again, I know I am not the best person at writing either, but it is based off of opinion)
Also, I was upset that there wasn't much of the main group, it was mostly (well, up to where I got) about Aurora, April, and Future Libby.
Maybe I should finish it...but I just get either bored, or I want to do something else.
Here is a thing I have wrong with ALL fanfictions: It isn't supposed to be stupid, I HATE, HATE, HATE it, when Sheen acts like a pervert. He's hit on ANY girls besides Libby about...5 times. I just don't think that Sheen would do some of the stuff he does in ff's.
I might think of more later, and I'll post it when I get to it. But those are some reasons I am not a fan of TOSOT.

You do know Sheen does that in the actual show, right? Peggy Tsu and Beautiful Gorgeous come to mind. That's not to say he'd hit on everyone in addition to Libby, but it doesn't make him hitting on other girls unrealistic either. Also, thinking a girl is attractive doesn't make him a pervert, lol.
But I kinda get where you're coming from with the storyline mostly being about the future characters. I think that turn happened when she stopped writing to Nick.com's rules, but I may be mistaken. So, as for the rest of your issues, I think that's all just personal preference.

Okay, So I guess Sheen DOES hit on girls, but it isn't like some things make him. I don't think he would be a Pervert...
