    Ha, oy...very brieftly, my impressions. Or perhaps I began that backwards... 'Lo Chernobyl. And on to brief impressions, specifically tied to pacing, sentence structure and character. To begin somethi

  • Novel / Chapter » General, General Re: We are all Sociopaths #1 - Prologue

    Hullo Aedomir. As the first thing then--is this "Other Fiction"? It seems, rather, in its archaic use of language and diction more apt to fantasy. ^_^ But that is slightly ...

    'Lo Gahks, I rather like fragments--or poetry so brief as to leave doors open and minds meandering. When it comes to full-description, or exploring an idea through depth and out ...

    Oy, but it's lovely--the Finnish, that is. I only know phrases and a few words in the language. But it's worth it all the same to try to listen to ...

    I already told you, in this kind of story, it GETS background, only, it comes slowly. I only know of a few damn good writers that can make you understand ...

  • Novel / Chapter » Action / Adventure, General Re: Ever Happily

    Oy, and this part is somewhat more present--it all happens in the moment, no interludes of thinking back. But it remains vaguely surreal. It's curious, but there are flickers of ...

  • Short Story » Fanfiction, General Re: Adventures of the SPEW Gryphon II

    Oy, these have always been worth the read--and this one seems somewhat more linear and less arbitrary than some of its predecessors. Ha, yet it keeps the off-the-wall humour as ...

  • Short Story » Fantasy, General Re: Buddy, Shut Up!

    'Lo. ^_^ You have some more than amusing dialogue--the exchange, in its repetition, is hilarious. That said, you've also some technical inconsistencies that distract the reader. VERB TENSE Er, don't ...

    'Lo Vernon. I'll be brief. I think you've an idea that might vivid, that could be shown distinctly and in a light so disgusting it would make one cringe. But ...

    Brevity is the soul of wit--so 'tis said. I rather think wit gives brevity its soul, in the end. Though aside from that slightly impertinent sidenote, I wonder. You've stated ...

    'Lo Sela! ^_^ Oy, you know I've told you your writing is good--more, I suppose, it has a storyteller's sense about it, and an un-self-conscious sort of directness. You've an ...

    Hey Chernobyl, You rather know some of my thoughts already. But I'll sum up, so to speak, again--if briefly. The inner dialogue, confused and tormented on doubt is brilliant. I'm ...
