  • Novel / Chapter » General, General Re: Whisky on a Sunday: Year 2 (updated 30.3.08)

    Whee, I like how you started with a tieback to the first part, the 'East meant Edinburgh' bit ^_^ Actually, I thought that this whole first section was very well ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: No Prince Charming

    I liked the rhyming in the first two lines especially. But I think you got too caught up in the structure of this because the stanzas don't really flow into ...

    Well, I like this, even if you don't. I think you could do more with the words lined up in her mouth; they appear at the beginning and then sort-of ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: and so this ends.

    The first sentence sounds continually odd to me. Do you mean that the relationship will end like a bird would end if killed mid-flight? Or the ending itself is like ...

  • Short Story » Romantic, General Re: Azaleas for Susie

    I loved the first line. It's the kind of thing that, given the rest of a paragraph to read, would make me do a head/desk and say "Just get to ...

  • Short Story » Romantic, General Re: The Sixth Night

    The first three paragraphs had too much information and I found myself skimming/skipping them. Elements of them could be added to later description: the fact that Miranda is six times ...

  • Short Story » Romantic, General Re: Bad Breakup Gone Good

    A quick note on format: adding a space between paragraphs would help out tremendously; my eyes get really lost on the page currently. There is so much dialogue here, I ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Shadows

    I love the first stanza, how it's worded. The forth stanza, I don't know. The should be there but aren't bit doesn't seem as carefully worded as everything else, and ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: caffè sospeso

    I see what you mean; it's with the second stanza. The first stanza has lovely strong words, the contrast between hot and cold, but the only 'focused' word in the ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Didn't Have a Camera This Time

    The first thing I saw was a lot of punctuation. It caught my eye and seemed to clutter up the ends of the lines. Do you really need it all? ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Useless Verse

    This all sounds very nice, but I think you need to connect the dots just a bit further because honestly, I have no idea what's being said. It's a pretty ...

  • Short Story » General, General Re: Mea Culpa I

    First off, I love the poem you put at the beginning; I think it introduces everything perfectly as almost a procession into the rest of the story. And the rest ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: RIP

    I thought that the last stanza was a little random. I mean, yes, cats do these things, but reading it, it just seemed like words to fill up space. Not ...

  • Poetry » Other, General Re: "The Flame Which Lit Up The Soul"

    The first time I read this through, I didn't like it because cherries don't burn. Well, I suppose they could (as is the case of many things) but they don't, ...

  • Short Story » General, General Re: The Difference Between Landmines and Time Bombs (Revised.)

    Hola, Shriek! A lot of the sentences in the first paragraph are to the tune of [topic][explanation]. Ex: "Reese Ryan was one of those girls" [topic] "You know, one of ...

If you don't know it's impossible it's easier to do. And because nobody's done it before, they haven't made up rules to stop anyone doing that again, yet.
