To just about every joke, therein lies a hint of truth. Some jokes encompass more truth than others, though. Just saying.
Which I'm guessing is Sly's typical roundabout way of saying, "SKYWARPED_128 is essentially right, except I exaggerated more than I should have for comedic effect, and now Burn thinks I'm delusional."
And Sly, you still haven't answered why you chose to ask for critiques in a TF forum, instead of an actual writer's forum where you can get proper professional feedback for your stories. People there are all writers like you, and actually know the technical side of story telling and prose, and can be of more help (no offense to those who critiqued his story).
Because I couldn't find any of those websites. If I can't find something in less than 5 minutes, I get bored and conclude it isn't worth my time. I found one site, which has been seemingly dead for ages. I posted my story on it anyway.
Holy sh!t, I think even Google hates you. I just Googled "writing forums", and (GASP!) guess what I found:
http://www.writingforums.com/
http://www.writingforums.org/
http://www.writersdigest.com/forum/
All of them are active. Try them out.
Wow. Even Google's involved in the ploy to try to steal my planet from me.

Stop it, Sly. You're gonna give Burn a brain aneurysm one of these days.
I wouldn't have to stop anything if Google hadn't risen up and raised up its voice against me. Blame Google.
