    Guess what! I'm finally getting around to reading this. I'll be commenting on it one chapter at a time, though. My attention span is not so good. So here are ...

    Well, guess I just get a "Congrats for trying." This was very impressive! You really expanded well on the original prompt. I see what CL means by Fern Gully on ...

    Not too bad, once I knew what it meant. Though I'm not too sure if German is a good language for haiku. To my hears, German does not sound half ...

  • Article / Essay » Review, General Re: Wild Magic by Tamora Pierce

    I like this. Doing author interviews for the site is a great idea. I'm sure the authors for Annick Press (a small Canadian publisher) would go for it. They're very ...

    Yeah, this didn't get to me either. I need a reason to care, but there is none. Like Karma said, it was detatched. These are pretty high teenage emotions, and ...
