Talk:How to Trick the World's Greatest Detectives/@comment-24082398-20151212201958

What a striking number of parallels between this world and literature!!

What was good? I really liked the implementation of real world ideas. Using the names of some well-known members on the wiki gave the story that extra pizzazz. The ol' razzle dazzle! I also thought the fake story was pretty dandy. It fit most shittypastas on this wiki to a tee, especially the ones done by a certain Ketta... The grammar and word choice worked very well, and the whole story was fluid. Nothing seemed to stick out diction and grammar-wise aside from the intentionally bad story, so you did good on that front. I also think the idea was pretty inspired. I've noticed you have a knack for these... I've never read a pasta that had a plot point like this. Well done! Creativity is far-flung in this barren literary wasteland.

Onto the bad. Now, there were only two things I didn't agree with in this story. First, the believability. I saw that Incorrect said the same things I had in mind about how this story should have spread like wildfire. Even if the story was deleted before the article was reported, someone should have seen it on Facebook or Twitter and been tipped off that the crime drew shocking parallels to the story. It must've been implanted fresh in their minds if the story and the first report were only a couple of days apart, right? The second thing was this story didn't exactly grip me. I wasn't reeled in as much as I should have. Maybe that could be contributed to the length and short, to-the-point style of the story, but maybe it's just me being stupid. That isn't to say shorter stories are bad, but this one... I dunno.

Overall, I'd give this a 6.5/10. A very good concept undermined by a lack of connection to real-world social etiquette. That was the only truly damning thing to this pasta. Excellent work, however! Keep it up!!
