I'm not sure this is where I ought to post, but I've yet to find a better place to do so. I'm looking for someone to swap stories with. Posting ...

What Happened to Lani Garver deals with the issues of sexuality and prejudice. It's most excellent; my third favorite book pretty much ever. I'd also recommend Luna , a book ...

I think that critiques can be completely honest and still nice. You don't have to be "harsh" to be helpful; indeed, I think think it's being "harsh" that throws people ...

The opening is interesting, with the two characters talking. I thought it was really cute. I also liked the end; an interesting cliffhanger, I want to know what happens next. ...

I think fantasy works best when mixed into the real world. One of my favorite scenes out of any book I've ever read has a faerie knight sitting on a ...

I think that Writer's is legit, because, if you, personally, own it, it is a digest belonging to a writer. (Plus, from a purely aesthetic point of view, Writers' looks ...

I won't get into the technical issues, because I'm not much of a poet myself, and I don't really understand the mechanics of it, but I think what really got ...
