Ah, so it's the former. I'll assume he signs Emiya in Japan for official stuff, as that would be the only one legally recognizable in that case.

Yeah, Lantz said he only uses the Japanese names in Japan.

Would be more "stamping his seal" than "signing his name", though, now that I think about it. Eh, details.

Micky mouse and Harry Potter guys. In reference to how he learns magic. He was more Micky than Harry. Watch more old cartoons.

Oooh. Mickey and Harry Potter. Sorry, just the names out of context can muddle the reference.

Probably means Merlin screwed him up somehow (lolplot, I guess?), and to make up for it taught him magic. I think, I don't get the reference in the second line.
>Merlin doing anything out of the kindness of his heart
Calling bullshit.

Anyway  I think I should speak up and takes questions about the lemon works since they are a part of my more common stuff (since they are shorter) I often see people critical of this kind of work so this is a good time to take questions.

Yeah, I never really got why people couldn't understand that Flesh and Fantasy was not serious and didn't imply Satoshi would be able to just fuck every girl in sight whenever he liked. I don't recall most true porn (as opposed to erotica which has porn in it but also a serious story) being overly realistic.

Just want to put this to rest once and for all.

I do take criticism.

what I do is internalize it. It is a 4 stage process of evaluation, analysis, consideration and adjustment. If the subject reaches stage four then I alter my work to fit the critique. If not then I don't change anything.

Evaluation is stage one and a simple process. Is the criticism valid on a social level? Questions about why something is X when normally Y are valid. Blah blah shitty, blah blah Mary sue blah blah paper shredder are not. In short be respectful and you pass.

analysis is stage two. Is the objection based on fact or is it here say and or opinion? If factual it gets carted along to stage three but if it is otherwise opinion or a debatable subject then it gets stalled and either discussed in a civil manner and then either accepted based on a convincing argument or rejected for a lack thereof. It is also rejected if a critic gets rude by not accepting a disagreement of opinion in the first place

Consideration is stage three. This stage has to do with premise and story consideration. Can the primary purpose of the story be achieved if critique is followed? If yes then move to stage four, if no then the process ends here.

adjustment is stage four and is the application of received critique. Simple as that.

Fan fiction is a recreational activity and as such should be a joy. If you don't like a subject do not read it, similarly a writer shouldn't write what they hate.

Once more, the 'Don't like don't read' kills criticism. It's just a crutch you use to try and escape it.

When are you going to post this in the BL thread, or have you forgotten that exists?

No, it is a valid statement. For example, if I start complaining about Sakura's treatment in a fic about MoS Shirou then the only sensible response is probably that. What it is not, however, is a catch-all excuse to justify ignoring all criticism. You have to at least consider the criticism first, and if it has actual validity (as opposed to being mere opinion) then you should act on it.

What, because they are able to express a dislike for the fic, and provide a load of valid criticism? They aren't all screaming at him, and they do provide valid points, but if Lantz wants to shoot himself in the food over it, go ahead. Just because they don't like it doesn't mean he should throw the baby out with the bathwater.
