  • Novel / Chapter » Fantasy, General Re: The Fated Chapter 2

    This was generally well-written; it definitely seems like you've proofread it at least once or twice. Just a couple odd things I wanted to point out. Something drew her toward ...

    I haven't read the rest, so I'll be concentrating mostly on the grammar. However, this is really, really short. If each part is this short, then why don't you just ...

  • Novel / Chapter » General, General Re: Anything Really: The Sequel? No! The Prologue!

    Inspirational. I think my favorite part was this paragraph: He looked at the sea, his eyes lifeless, and thought about his story. His story... it was too painful to tell. ...

    Hmm... do I critique this? ;) It's funny, but it needs more context. I actually see this as fitting in really well in a larger story with pot-smoking hippies. Kind ...

  • Novel / Chapter » Fantasy, General Re: Lithium chapter 2: Commencement

    You need to proofread this some more. There's a couple of punctuation errors here and there that'd be easily caught; just stuff like forgetting an ending quotation mark and forgetting ...
