Well, that was a rollercoaster. I\'ve read some bad boys und tankery fics in the past, but this one certainly sticks out as one of the worst. Kudos for reading it all though, couldn\'t have been much fun, and I doubt I would\'ve managed the same.

Will you be doing any more boys und tankery live blogs going forward by the way? They provide interesting insights into the common flaws of the \"genre\", and it\'s quite interesting to see an alternative take on someone\'s work, be it in praise or criticism.

Thanks for reading. At times, I wonder if anyone reads liveblogs anymore, so it\'s nice to see a comment on one of mine..

I haven\'t really read many other GuP fics with boys in tankery lately, but I mainly chose this one because it was short, and, as I said before, it did a lot of things other fics wouldn\'t dare consider, such as having little emphasis on technical aspects or battles. Then again, if I find one that might be worth liveblogging, I\'ll go ahead and do one.

Considering how small the girls und panzer fanbase is when it comes to fanfiction, and how much smaller still the number of reviewers there are willing to offer constructive criticism rather than just accept mediocre pieces at a face value, liveblogs like these are a breath of fresh air and one I\'d readily seek out. The boys in tankery genre has never really put out a story I consider truly great; some have come close (Open Warfare is probably the best I\'ve seen thus far), but most are plagued with poor writing, gary stu\'s, and an overreliance on the tanks and technical details. It\'s nice to see someone pointing out the flaws of the stories, rather than just accepting them for what they are.

Plus it aids me in avoiding said flaws when it comes to considering my own projects, but that\'s a story for another day. For now, it\'s good to hear you\'re still open to the idea overall. I remember your reviews on the Gu P fics back in the day, along with Severstal, and when I noticed a distinct lack of them in most the newer ones (after I\'d returned to the genre during Das Finale) I thought you might no longer be interested in the show.

I also enjoyed Open Warfare, particularly the fact that the main character actually undergoes a significant amount of development and doesn\'t just exist to upstage the canon girls.

I don\'t really write Gu P fanfiction much anymore, but that doesn\'t mean I\'ve lost interest entirely- I\'ve been reading a Gu P comedy doujin called Erika Change, in which Erika, rather than Miho, transfers to Oarai.
