Re: A titleless tale (2) (rewritten)

Re: The Will of the Knight - Chapter 1
A good read, had me entertained, so thank you. A problem I found was that your dialogue could be a bit 'off'. You were trying to make to sound authentic ...

Re: A titleless tale (1)
Fantastic! Steady, promising writing throughout - kept me right on the edge of my seat. I could feel it all, sense it all, and that's a good thing, especially as ...

Re: What's the weirdest book you've ever read?
I don't read many weird books. I think it is probably 'Mirror, Mirror' by Gregory Maguire (he wrote 'Wicked'). It was a take on Snow White, for adults, and was ...

Re: Peyton Lysander
Oh my God, that was beautiful, saves. Utterly enchanting. I was wary at first, of you cutting chunks of time, but then I saw what it was leading up to. ...

Re: Meeting Jane Austen (1)
I must say I read it because of the title. ^-^ Saw no Jane Austen, still hold hopes, but am guessing her appearance won't be literal. Apart from that, yeah, ...

Re: Little Red Riding hood - the real version
Hmm, well, seems a nice idea. Only... within the last few years, don't you think this sort of thing has been done a bit too much? It's getting, well, repetitive. ...

Re: You and I
Hi. I really, really liked this, Tadatori. I think that might be because I, like many others, have been in similar situations (not with the happy ending, however). It could ...

Re: Never Worn
I liked this, although the method chosen to portray it was somewhat... unconventional. Actually, though, I thought it was a rather clever idea, focusing on something quite sad but coupling ...

Re: Secrets of the Heart - Chapter One
It was a bright summer’s day, friendly, warm and happy; most unlike the students who were walking along, bracing themselves for the start of another year and the sweaty, cramped ...

Re: I Kissed a Girl
I liked it but, you know, there was something almost dream-like about it. It was as though it wasn't happening - there was nothing materialistic; it was even whimsical. I ...

Re: Elsewhere
I read it a couple of years ago and I called it my favourite book for awhile. It was a good idea, even if the life-after-death thing has been done ...

Re: Passage to America
I wrote a crit awhile ago but it got wiped. So this'll be short. I think it has a lot of potential as a novel, believe it or not - ...

Re: "Power"
Hmm, well, if this is set in the witch trials, don't you think it's a bit like The Crucible? There are similarities anyway. Steer clear! However, my claim could be ...
