I love your story plot, it really does have POTENTIAL to go far! This is not a flame, since I am addressing issues I've noticed in other people's reviews:
1) moonbabe1989
I agree!
2) Storyline/plot/ etc.: Very good! Nothing to complain about, really. You warned about the language and such, and I think it's kind of you to do so. Once again, this story will go FAR beyond your imagination! Unless you have one heck of an imagination... ^_^
3) BrownWolf.....Interesting person
Yes, it is a fictional story. But like I said before, words do have power when used correctly. Ever heard of a persuasive essay? But as for you other views, I whole-heartedly agree. I just hope you don't view me as one of the...erm...B-people, to use a better term for it ^_^;;
4) sesscat
One of the many reviewers who said they had no problem with you using the "N" word. I'm proud, since I do not have a problem either! I'm a cousin twice removed to a *black female* but am her best friend :) In a way, she's kind of like my sister, if you can call it that.
5) Swiftsword...ah, where to begin? Took me a long time to read it, well, not really, but I did mull it over for a while.
"You may not have been purposely "trying to promote hate," but you seem incredibly unaware that by writing of it, you inevitably utilize, and therefore give the appearance of accepting and tolerating it. That is the message some readers will get. Don't you understand the power writers have to influence others? Good writers know to use their power well, or not use it at all. Bad writers seem to continually ignore the fact, or are simply too stupid to realize it. And we all know what happens when stupid people are installed in a position of power: the results can be compared to George W.Bush as President. "
Okay, that I agree. The power of words is a powerful force. Think Hitler... I mean, he wasn't born all commanding and well-respected. He used the power of WORDS to influence people. If you ever get the chance, visit the Museum of Tolerance; more information there. Or just go on a search engine. However, the "George W. Bush" statement is going WAY over the line. But, since, this is a about Day and Night, I shall not go into politics...for now.
"This isn't just about "my people." This is about your writing having cast BOTH JAPANESE AND CHINESE people in negative lights. You have cast the Chinese as an inferior race that causes people to say, and I quote from your writing, "Yuck!" when mistaken for being Chinese. You have made the Japanese seem like arrogant racists. Since you claim to know Japanese who aren't offended by it, I'm amazed that you still went ahead and used it, perpetuating the stereotype that Japanese dislike Chinese....Such arrogance. "
I wouldn't exactly call it arrogance, but it was tactless of you to include that. I'm a Japanese-Chinese-American (and much more, but that's not important in this arguement) and I am NOT offended when people call me one or the other. It's okay, I know it's hard to tell. However, the fact that you still put it there realy does concern me. You say that as if EVERYBODY Japanese or everybody Chinese believes like each other. I know you meant well, but reword your statement, please?
"Yes, I'm calling you a hypocrite. By telling people to "get over it," you're not using what numerous civil liberties leaders fought for, you're destroying it. They didn't "get over it," they fought it. You can't show others the capabilities of your race while simultaneously calling racism something to "get over". That is a demonstration of one of the highest degrees of ignorance and hypocrisy that I have ever seen."
Again, I know you mean well. But telling people to "get over it" really is displaying "one of the highest degress of ignorance and hypocrisy" I have ever known. So, did all the people in the past who fought for freedom, equal rights, etc. need to be forgotten? Now, I'm not saying that putting the past behind us is a bad idea, but it does come that easily. People just don't wake up one day and say, "I know they (any group you wish to use) made me suffer, but since now I have equal rights too let's hold hands and dance under a tree!" ...T_T If you honestly believe that, I've lost hope in you. Assuming you do not believe that (and I'm positive you don't) you might want to, once again, rethink how you word ideas.
6) It's late...I'm tired. I'll be waiting for the next chapter, okay? Continue with the superb work!

Arrrgh...I made a mistake. Well, several, but this once leaped out at me.
"....bad idea, but it does come that easily..."
It's supposed to be "...bad idea, but it DOESN'T come that easily...."
I'm sure you could tell...but just incase....

Yo, i just read the reviews from your story and every1 who gotz a problem wit it is straight trippin. I mean its a DAMN FICTIONAL story. keyword FICTIONAL, the reasons why to it dont have to match up wit the damn history. Oh and by the way some japanese people do hate being mistaken for chinese down here in va AND ITS NOT the reason u said it 2 be swihtblade or wateva it was. Also i agree wit moonbabe, why da hell r u still readin dis story if gots such a problem wit. Go read sum1 esle's since this is 2 black 4ya. The word Nigga is diff form nigger. you use nigger and u'll get shot, use nigga wit sum1 u down wit and u's cool. so she right. Us black ppl made it a POSITIVE THANG just 4 ur 411. So in closing i says: Gurl you keep doing ur thang and all u haters need to bounce to another more whiter or wateva da fuck story, BITCHES!!
