  • Short Story » General, General Re: Affections

    Grade-A as always, Puckerman. ^^ This is dry and witty and honest, and it works. It compels you to read more - it almost demands it. The straightforward style and ...

  • Short Story » Realistic, General Re: Open Wound

    This was really brilliantly written. I didn't find it too lengthy or too short, and it kept a really steady pace that never got ahead of itself (something often difficult ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, General Re: Death Is a Beast

    Interesting poem; it definitely has a unique edge. I actually like the way you made some lines bold and kept this poem sharp. Typically it's a style I don't fall ...

  • Poetry » General, General Re: Tired

    Okay, so my problem with this. It's just too...simple. While simplicity can work in its own time and place, it can otherwise just make a poem generic and bland. I ...

  • Poetry » General, General Re: nothing comes from nothing but I am not anything

    Being someone who believes in a Higher Power but not in the Bible, I found your interpretation really interesting, and it definitely hit home for me personally on a lot ...

  • Short Story » Horror, Fantasy Re: Don't Let Me Fall

    Okay, so this has potential, but it needs substance. Some stories can be short and edgy. Others need time. This is one that would really benefit from additional details in ...

  • Other » Dramatic, General Re: farewell drumbeat

    I love this. It's very edgy, very quick. More than anything, though, I'm biased because you used the words "saccharine" and "enervated." Things like that please my word-enamored soul. ^_^ ...

  • Short Story » Literature, General Re: We Understand

    What's up? Okay, so I'll start with the small stuff "staring" at myself, not "starring." You also want to make sure that your sentences are, "Hello," I say to myself. ...

  • Poetry » Romantic, General Re: Hera

    While I agree on the note Hero has on cliche, I wouldn't say that you've "stolen" that line. Anyone who's well-read will catch the reference and not think "Wow, what ...

  • Poetry » Dramatic, Romantic Re: Golden Place

    I like the rhythm of this, but it's lacking anything that really breaks the mold creatively. It's hard to write a love poem that doesn't sound sappy and melodramatic, but ...

  • Poetry » General, General Re: No title yet :(

    I think the first reviewer hit the nail on the head when she called it generic, to be honest. It lacks anything to make it memorable or emotional, and it's ...

    It's a shame that this is too long for most people to bother committing to, because this is a fantastic story. I had to leave this up on my computer ...

  • Other » General, Narrative Re: Reliving Sentiment

    Wow, I can relate to this so much. It's a beautiful short piece that's brimming with mixed emotions and a swirling culmination of love/hate. It's something that anyone who's been ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: White Sheets Spray Painted Grey

    Hey, Nargles! Okay, so this was alright. Not too shabby, really. I love the depth and thought that's clearly been put into its meaning, and for me that is what ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, Realistic Re: Second Best

    Being an ex-gymnast, I can definitely relate to the intensity of competing against yourself, your rivals, and your teammates simultaneously (I'd like to think that that's something we have in ...
