  • Short Story » General, General Re: A tale of an automaton

    There's a reason the formatting of this piece looks strange, and it's not (at least, I don't think it is) because of the Word Document to YWS transfer. Actually, it's ...

  • Novel / Chapter » General, General Re: Dreams Tell Lies - Chapter Seven

    I'm back again. I sure hope there's no rush to this. ;) First, nitpicks. Living with Harry was like nothing I’d ever experienced before. His direct approach to life was ...

  • Novel / Chapter » General, General Re: Dreams Tell Lies -Chapter Six

    First, nitpicks. I was awoken the next morning as the noise thundered through the little shop, shaking the floors. Could be much more effective. Rework this so that the reader ...

    I have absolutely no idea about the extent to which this short story is true, but for the purpose of this review, let's assume it's fictitious. Love can be split ...

  • Novel / Chapter » General, General Re: Dreams Tell Lies - Chapter Five

    Sorry it's taken me this long. My review is mainly going to be spent focusing on nitpicks, because this chapter is simply littered with grammatical mistakes and inane contradictions. When ...

  • Short Story » Science Fiction, General Re: Art From Adversity (Contest Entry)

    Hullo! Didn't I say I would come? I've always admired your ability to develop characters. This is evident in pretty much everything that I've read of yours, and this is ...

    Er, I'm late. Oh well. Snoink and Skins both brought it up already, so this critique won't sound at all new to you, but the laptop thing kind of bugged ...

    Here I am, finally. Before we move on to the juice of the review, there're a few little nitpicks I'd like to point out. Crooks never repainted the fucking floors, ...

  • Novel / Chapter » General, General Re: Dreams Tell Lies - Chapter Four

    Chapter four. Man, I really need to speed things up a bit. What is it you were trying to accomplish by adding this chapter? What do you feel this chapter ...

  • Short Story » Fantasy, General Re: The Death of Hund (Part 2)

    I'm back! I really enjoyed this. In contrast with the last chapter, it seemed your dialog, both internal and external, was much more Middle-English sounding. One cannot say that a ...
