    Very nice. I don't like the japanese parts, thought. Im sure you wanted to do something that related to japan, but it doesn't work quite well. I'm guessing that you still need to practice not sounding like a "Weaboo", but it's the practice that makes perfect, so, either drop it or perfect it. Another thing is the blocky text, you don't have to space out every small paragraph, but at least leave space between starting dialogue, etc.

    I think you should also try and not rush things, get details, paint your story world with details that we can grab an image of. Your writing is good, but you barely described anything. It's nice to weave lavish prose once in a while.

    Overall, this is good, but I think you need to work a bit on the aforementioned. It's only a matter of time, but I think you'll get better.

    This part was particularly good. I'm enjoying how Tifa regains the bonds she had lost, and how Aerith's death still leaves consequences. I'm enjoying this so far.

    I know you've written most chapters, but for next time I'd suggest you work on some things. First of all, you jump from third person and first, when , what I think you were trying was conveying Tifa's thought's; those should go on italic.

    Another thing I'm noticing is that the vocabulary isn't very explored. Try new words in your writing; nice sounding words, strange words. This will help you expand your vocabulary even more. I found myself going over some paragraphs without paying much attention to them, this might mean I'm lazy, but it might mean some of the writing might be bland; just something to think about...

    I'd suggest you roll with GIMP or Photoshop, since the Photobucket editor isn't really good for doing things like these. I'd suggest taking up GIMP again, and reading some tutorials.

    But, then...isn't photoshop better? Why not use Photoshop. I'm pretty familiar with GIMP, but I also want to see what Photoshop is capable of.

    And now, I'm confused GIMP or Photoshop?

    Decided to finally experiment with Photoshop, and these are the results. Still don't know how to make borders, can't find how to make light-sources, can't seem to understand pentool, don't know how to resize layers after placing them with the BG, don't understand most filters...but, at least managed to make this.

    CnC. please...

    Artists with european accent will begin taking command.Nah, I don't know.

    To be honest R&B seems like it's at it's peak. Rock bands are second in line. Everything else comes after. Usually. I'd actually like to see experiments in the music industry.

    I think it's okay to talk to him, just don't push an answer on the note. If he wants to answer you directly, great. If not, then don't push it.

    I'd also recommend keeping your friends a bit more distanced from this. It's fine if they help you and do the whole squeal thing and the giggles, blah, blah, but in the end if it does boil down to something, they can't be in on everything.

    These are....well, they are beginner's work. The V one actually shows indications of being quite good, but you have to keep trying if you want anything decent.

    Of course, I'm not saying these ones are bad.....nah, they are pretty bad Dx, except the V one.

    The overall coloring is nice. It seems this took quite a bit of effort. One thing I don't find pleasant is the hair; it looks like play-doh. I think you should give it a more solid look, and give the hair some lines like in the original, because it looks smudged in some parts.

    I'm not saying we should delete the user groups. I'm just asking if there's a way to make them more meaningful.

    As for the award system, I believe it wouldn't be whored. They would only be used for SoTW and Poetry contests. The two aforementioned are pretty easy to keep track of, and the admin in control can ultimately decide if the person deserves the award.

    The awards would also be used for the User awards. This one most of the time is a popularity contest, but the votes this year weren't really biased(mostly), every new addition gets whored sometimes, does that mean we ought to stop adding new things because they could be potentially whored? If the whoring gets out of hand, then that bridge will be crossed once we are there.

    The awards themselves would be easy to control in regards to neutrality. It's not like I'm asking for an awards system similar to Xbox, in which case would be easily whored.

    Left in Yesterday

    I find you,
    hands outstreched.
    You wait, you wait.

    I can't see,
    No, not her.
    She's gone, She's gone.

    Nevermore...

    Upon wisdom,
    the raven lays perched.
    Nevermore, Nevermore.

    Over plutonian shore,
    the voice of prophecy.
    No more, no more.

    A dance for tomorrow
    the gown of velvet for you.
    It all goes, it all goes.

    I can't see
    You're left in yesterday.
    Evermore, Evermore

    Final Falling

    That light...
    A pathway for the heart
    Where the air connects
    it connects to the soul

    You, me, tomorrow...
    Promises, memories
    Where the earth connects
    it connects to our thoughts

    The calm...
    Hope, and destiny
    Where water connects
    it connects to our spirit

    Building...
    Eternity, finality
    where the fire connects
    it connects to our hearts

    The final falling...
    Goodbye, nevermore
    Where the collective connects
    it connects to...

    Comment: Crazy poem time. This aren't really crazy or whack, they do have a meaning, but I'm not explaining it, because I want people's deductions. Hope you enjoy them.

    Sorry for bumping, but I think this is worth it. As for the first two suggestions...I know that everyone can create/join any group, but at the moment, they are there for the "lulz" isn't there a more specific use for them?

    Bumps
