  • Poetry » Other, General Re: "It's something to do"

    This isn't a bad poem by any means, but I think it struck me as being especially muddy. "Youth crime" is such a far-reaching topic, and this poem doesn't seem ...

    I really liked this, and I've come back and read it twice now. I hesitated to review because I couldn't quite put my finger on what about this was disconcerting. ...

  • Short Story » General, General Re: Daddy

    Ooh. I liked this, and then never reviewed it. I don't usually advocate for the use of "you" when writing. Too often, it's confusing and creates a crack in the ...

  • Short Story » General, General Re: Viruses

    This is an interesting piece, and I do think it's a good read, but a difficult one. I don't think your vocabulary is too advanced, or that your sentence structure ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: Fight

    This poem seems to be a little disorganized to me. The ideas just don't seem quite cohesive, and it reads a little bit like a rough draft that could use ...

    I really like this, and I would love to see more of this! Wind whispered through the trees as I ran. My paws hit the ground almost silently; quite an ...

  • Short Story » General, General Re: The ANZAC (Edit)

    Well. I was going to go in and tear this apart, like I like to do, but this is a fantastic story. There are a few grammatical errors, which will ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: It's a magician without tricks.

    Hm. I actually really like this. Admittedly, I was very much put off by the introduction of a date so early in the poem. When this is read aloud, it ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: Wondrous World

    This is a very nice poem--sharp and short. The only thing that frustrated me was the sense of disappointment once it was over. I would love to see you expand ...

  • Short Story » General, General Re: The Break Up

    Cool! I'm going to go through this piece-by-piece, because you've got a few grammatical errors and some sentences with awkward structure. I never thought that the day would come; that ...

  • Short Story » Fantasy, General Re: The Dragon.

    I'm going to disregard grammar and spelling flaws, as it seems you have help with that already! Overall, I think this comes across as being a little cliched. Because we ...

  • Short Story » Fantasy, General Re: The Troll

    I would agree with those who have mentioned the abrupt way in which you've presented the troll. Also, I might venture that it is overwritten. Your description, in parts, is ...

  • Short Story » General, General Re: The Stupidity of Sharks

    I'm going to critique this in parts, because there were a few things that really stood out to me (good and bad). From an overall standpoint, I do like that ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: With Much Regret, I Do

    This is very nice! Your tone here is very blanketed, and I mean that in a complimentary way. It seems to stay consistant throughout the poem, and that makes it ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: There Once Was A Girl Named Jennifer June

    This is a very typically rhyme structure. I don't think it's a terrible poem, but I detest the opening (it is very formulaic and simplistic), and some of the pairing ...
