Reading the Written the hunt

SYNOPSIS:
The good Doctors feel that the boys need to bone up on their tracking skills. Duo is chosen as bait, but he's not going to be taken that easily. ^^

MISH:
I can�t believe it. Yet another story that claims, in the very first sentence on the page, that it is a PWP. But what do I find mere paragraphs later?

MAKO:
Plot or not, this is one fic I will admit I liked. This is quite possibly the first fic that we totally disagree on! Pilot shag, purrrr!

excerpt:
"Dr. J has determined that we should use our down time to hone our skills. We have been instructed to perform a field exercise over the next week. One of us will act as prey and be hunted down by the rest. Each of the hunters will take a turn at tracking down the chosen one over the course of a day and night. To make things interesting the one who loses owes the winner a forfeit of his choice."

MISH:
Ha! A plot! Don�t authors know that PWP stands for "Plot, What Plot?" and not "Pretty Wicked Plot!"? That to have a PWP, there must be shagging for no apparent reason? I mean, can I explain it any better? Must we demonstrate this point? Mako�? =)~

MAKO:
If you insist? *brakes out the toys*

MISH:
*Ahem* Back to more important matters. The first thing that struck me while reading this story was its use of exclamation marks. I love it when exclamation marks are used in third person. It�s like the narrator has a personality. Unfortunately, that�s all I found positive about the writing. The rest of the story is full of poor grammar.

MAKO:
Nope! I won't say it, I'll be good. Besides, I was too interested in all the different shag scenes to notice the grammar. It was like being in a daze. =)~~

excerpt:
Duo watched as an array of emotions flew across Wufei's face, but finally he nodded. Duo reached down and offered his teammate a hand and pulled him up. Duo was on him before he had a chance to react.

MISH:
Mish read the story. Mish wished she didn�t have to, but it was all Mako�s doing. Mish was on her before she had a chance to react.

MAKO:
Says the person who wanted Pilot Shag.

MISH:
=p =)

The story itself is unique. It�s both smutty and a character study. Not only do the Fly Boys get to kertang, but they each learn something about themselves, too.


MAKO:
Smut..........

MISH:
I equate this to being introspective while smoking the after-shag cigarette. But this became a pattern in each part. I really wasn�t in suspense while reading this story, especially when I was told the ending, the steps to the ending, and the ending again. This happened in every part, and I got bored with its repetitiveness.

MAKO:
*lights up a smoke and rereads it just for the smut.*


rating:
-------------
MISH:
4/10. Despite the many climaxes in the story; the story itself didn�t have one.

MAKO:
7/10. The grammar does indeed need work, but the plot was sure as hell original!
