W00000000T!

Thanks man!

Ladies and gentlemen, I am very glad to announce that Rinne will now be working here as professional reviewer of Featured Fictional Works.

Wow, I need 5 more chapters and I will be make an app for Fallen Angel

Well, that was fast.

Anyways, I'll be reviewing the works that have been featured here using the format shown in this here thread. That was my old review thread, but I kinda got swamped. Now, it'll be easier, since I don't have to write one for every person on here.

Name: The Story of a Legend Continues
Length: 24 Chapters divided into 7 Parts, about 19.500 words (with spoilertags, without decklists) or about 20.000 words (with spoiler tags, with decklists)
Link: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/thread-89474.html
Activity: 1 Chapter per week. The last month, I haven't been in Belgium very much, and I've exams to prepare, so 1 long Chapter per 2 weeks will be a more realistic number for the last month and the following 2 weeks.

Please don't judge me on the first chapters. When this first book is finished, I'll rewrite parts of them to make them more apealing.

I would submit duel force but it is not mine...

Name: Yu-Gi-Oh! DF (DF being short for Duel Force)
Length: 97 Chapters
Link: Link
Activity: Once every day or two on average.
Example:
I stood facing my opponent, aware that my friends had fallen. I was in a tough spot, but I refused to back down. Win or lose, I would see this duel through to the end.

“To end my turn,” Karen said, “I place one card.”

“Good, that means I can start turning this game around.” I drew, “Activate ‘Pot of Greed’ to draw two cards. Next I activate ‘Soul Release’, combining it with the Continuous Spell card ‘Soul Absorption’. I remove five cards in my Graveyard from play and gain 500 Life Points per card (LP: 5600+(500x5)=8100). Next I Flip-Summon my ‘Gren Maju Da Eiza’, a fiend who’s base Attack always equals the number of cards that I have removed from play multiplied by 400.” A red fiend with a centipede-like body from the waste down appeared. From the waste up, he looked a lot like ’Great Maju Garzett’ (ATK: 400x5=2000).

“Sacrifice ‘Gren Maju Da Eiza’ to summon ‘Great Maju Garzett’, who’s Attack is equal to twice the Attack of the sacrificed monster’s base attack!” ‘Gren Maju’ dissolved into smoke that reformed into the huge skeletal fiend (ATK: 4000).

“Attack the ‘Toon Blue-Eyes’ with Vile Energy!” The fiend discharged his attack, trying to destroy the comical foe. But once again, my opponent was ready.

“Activate ‘Absolute End’,” Karen said, “causing your attack to bypass my monster and hit me directly.” The ‘Toon Dragon’ flexed around the beam, and it hit Karen in the chest (7000-4000=3000).

“Eh, you’ll get no complaints from me on that one,” I said. “End my turn. Make your last move.”

Karen drew and said, “You’re right, this is my last move, but not for the reasons you think. I’m ending this duel, not you. Spell card, ‘Megamorph’, doubling the attack of one monster that I control if my Life Points are lower than my opponent’s.” A glowing ring appeared on the ground beneath the ‘Toon Dragon’ and he flexed his muscles. They exploded out like mini volcanoes (3000x2=6000).

“You were planning this from the start of the duel,” I said, “weren’t you?”

“Since the first card was played,” Karen answered, arrogantly. “’Toon Skull’, attack directly with Lightning Strike!” a bolt of lightning struck me from above (Karen: 3000-500=2500/Me: 8100-2500=5600).

“Finish him, Burst Stream!” The Toon attacked (Karen: 2500-500=2000), bypassing my monster and hitting me directly. I couldn’t believe it. I had been defeated. It was all over. My team and I had fallen. The last thing I saw was the members of the Order walking away.

Then the world went black.

(5600-6000=0).

not to be rude, but is anyone going to get back to me about this?

I apologize. I would have done it earlier, but YCM has been off at least for me since early morning.

Either way, not accepted. Too heavy on the dialogue.

did you actually read it? there's no more dialog than some of these others.

I have read later chapters of your fanfic which consists almost entirely of dialogue, including the example you posted.

"Some of these others" aren't accepted, either.
