The Usual Who?

azuriteFinally, off work. But I have to go to bed early (as in, a half hour from now) because Baba has a doctor's appointment tomorrow at 8, which means they'll be dropping me off at or near school around 7:30. -_- My classes don't begin till 9. I do have to swing by Oviatt and check out this reserved article about Geography, and I should probably see if they have Discovering AutoCAD 2004 (it'd be a miracle) so that I can make do without it until Thursday. I don't want to mooch off my more prepared classmates, but I was kind of relying on my Dad's connection to get it faster. Still no FinAid check, still no books. I pray for tomorrow... Everyone was wrong, I guess. Most of my teachers say we need the books by the second class session. Hell, we got an ASSIGNMENT in Speech on the first day, so I'm glad I got that book set already. But what about Journalism and Geography tomorrow? >_< I just hope I can survive...
Work is hell, if I didn't make it clear in my earlier entries. I can't wait till Friday and Saturday. If they try to schedule me, I will refuse. I've already worked so many hours this week; my total is 32, and the stress is getting to me, sad to say. I refuse to fall behind in my classes because of stupid bookstore work, that is completely unfeeling. You know, I work 8 hour shifts, but my break is NOT part of those 8 hours? So really, I'm there for 8 and a half hours, and on campus for 12, total. It's HELL.
In terms of reviews, I have noticed a few interesting ones, and some that I take to heart... you never know when you may influence the outcome of a WDKY chapter, folks!
* People like the Bakura/Téa/Ryou dynamic
* People really HATE Bakura coming in and stealing Seto's thunder
* Téa seemed OOC by getting drunk (btw, I was going to address this in 11. Trust me, most fangirls haven't been in Téa's situation, and wouldn't understand why getting drunk seems like a perfectly "logical" thing to do.)
* People are upset with Téa living in the side house (hehehe).
* Someone in particular wants Noah back. Er... can't happen. Maybe somehow in the sequel I could try and work him in, but unlikely.
* People noticed that despite Kaiba's angstiness, he didn't actually apologize. Yes, that was on purpose. :)
* Many fangirls find the need to write their reviews in script form, and include "yamis" and the characters. -_- I find this both sad and amusing.
IMPORTANT QUESTION - Do you think the rating of WDKY up to this point should be changed to R? I mean, gang brawls, drunkenness...? If you were on the MPAA, what would you rate WDKY?
According to the CARA website, PG13 rated movies follow the guideline below: Parents Strongly Cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. This signifies that the film rated may be inappropriate for pre-teens. Parents should be especially careful about letting their younger children attend. Rough or persistent violence is absent; sexually-oriented nudity is generally absent; some scenes of drug use may be seen; one use of the harsher sexually derived words may be heard.
Okay, so should I have to change the rating because there was persistent violence and about two "harsh sexually derived words?" Let me know. I don't want WDKY and its reviews to disappear from FFnet because of a rating reporter. I've changed it to R, for now. I know I have readers under 17, but I trust MOST of them, and their maturity levels... it's the nitpickers I worry about.
Shadow Games - Trixie Reiss
Long ago in the ancient past
I remember a life when we first met
In a dark shadow realm
Under a big full moon
There and then I could tell you tried to break my will
But now watch as I rise to a whole new height
And my mad battle cry will be heard all night
[Chorus]
You keep on playin'
Those dark shadow games and
And no, I won't be beat again
You keep on playin'
Those dark shadow games and
Oh and this time, I'll play my friend
So now you know after time has passed
You can never be sure
You're always the best
Cause I'm back from the shadows
Comin' after you
I'm the baddest day of
Your darkest hour
[Chorus]
Oh, Oh, Oh
You destroyed the future
With your past
Forgot the lesson of the test
You never understood the blessed
Too bad today will be your last!
So now watch as I rise to a whole new height
And my mad battle cry will be heard all night
[Chorus x 2]
A few of those lines (You never understood the blessed//I'm the baddest day...) might be wrong. Please correct me if you can.

Date: 2004-08-25 04:24 pm (UTC)bullshitmuch more lax with comedies and fluffy romances than it is with thrillers or dramas like WDKY. It's not uncommon in the movie world for a comedy and a drama with pretty much the same "level" of questionable material to recieve a PG-13 and a R, respectively. The MPAA is also much more lax with films released by big-name studios than it is with indies, regardless of genre.*cough* The POINT (at least, I think there is one) of that rambling is that since I don't know who'd release WDKY, I'd say you should probably up to an R just to be safe, even though I think it's not above PG-13.
And I like the way you handle Yami Bakura. Not Yami Bakura himself (I actually can't stand him in the series :/), but the way you handle him. Besides, someone needs to steal Kaiba's thunder once in a while.

* People are upset with Téa living in the side house (hehehe).
;-; Where was the *talking?!* They were supposed to kiss and make up!! *whines*
Hm... as for the rating - yeah, you could change it to R just to be safe. I think several people would keel over if it was taken down for something as stupid as that. (^^ I'll just have my *mommy* come and watch me read it! /sarcasm)
