Talk:How to Trick the World's Greatest Detectives/@comment-25021327-20150910180848

Ah, this story touches a special place in my heart as I too have a personal archive of deleted shitpastas! Truth be told, one of my least favorite things to do on the wiki is to delete terrible pastas, thus depriving future readers of their hilarity. I find trollpastas to be funny every once in a while, but they can't quite compare to a story that someone legitimately tried to make good, but utterly failed at. In any case, I'll get on with the review.

I pretty much liked this one. It's kind of short, and a bit predictable at times, but that doesn't usually bother me. I personally think twist endings are a little overdone and overrated, but I digress. I enjoy the plot here of the terrible, yet superhumanly prolific writer who may or may not be as inept as he seems. I think that works for an interesting character.

The shitpasta in question here was fairly amusing, though almost pushes beyond the realm of believability for how badly it is written... almost ;) also the quality of the writing in the last paragraph is much higher than in the first, I wonder if this was an intentional touch to add to the mystery of the Gcumt's character.

In any case, this one is a nice quick read that left me thinking more than I would have anticipated. Using named of actual wiki users blurred the lines here in a way that I'm not sure worked for me personally, but other readers might get a kick out of it. This one was pretty well executed, and made fairly nice use of its short length :)
