  • Fantasy Novels Re: Reprisal - Prologue + Chapter One

    I'm a bit confused about the second part. You said everybody died aside from the king and the general, who sound like their yelling back and forth with the king ...

  • Fanfiction Novels Re: Pushing Fate...A kinda Percy Jackson Spin off

    I think your piece reads like a parody so far, as so many details (like how he got expelled from schools and whatnot) are so close to the main series. ...

  • Fanfiction Novels Re: Harry Potter- What happened after death, chapter 1

    I like how you kept pretty consistent with the books, but some of your paragraphs felt rushed. He felt this, she said that- I know you've probably been told or ...

    Again, another good story. I liked the way you presented an insight into their history, the how and why your MC ended up working for a knight she doesn't like. ...

    Well I really liked this. I thought it was well-done and interesting, though the actual poisoning I didn't get until I went through and read it again. I'm not sure ...

  • Fantasy Novels Re: Riptide part 1&2

    Interesting, I admit. Parts of it, like her dream, remind me of the first Percy Jackson book. Not sure if it's supposed to or not, but that's what i thought ...

  • Fantasy Novels Re: Flameshore, Chapter Three

    I thought this one felt a little rushed, but it was still very good. I don't have anything to add to the actual story, so I'm going to nit-pick some ...

  • Fantasy Novels Re: Flameshore, Chapter Two

    Good opening- first sentence caught me right away. I didn't notice any spelling or grammar errors, which is always a plus. I can't even see much to change- everything flowed ...

    If you can guess, this is a Harry Potter fanfic. It takes place during the first book, after Harry and Hermione split up at the potion riddle and while Harry ...

  • Fantasy Short Stories Re: New Story! *Edited*

    Interesting- I like it. You've added to the depth and mystery of the story. The punctuation was much better in the edited parts, but ran away again in the stuff ...

  • Novel Workshop Re: Fight to survive - the epic battle of teens at their worst!

    Well, I finished it. Can't say I overly enjoyed it- just not my type of story. All my comments are on here. I used Microsoft 2007 with the tracking changes- ...

    I'm afraid I can't think of much other to say than I like it! It's easy to read and engaging enough to want to continue, though a few stretches when ...
