  • Short Story » Humor, Dramatic Re: Story with a twist!

    I had written and erased this first paragraph of this review several times now. I feel as though I should say something good about this piece. And it's not as ...

  • Short Story » Narrative, General Re: Changing Bitterness

    BlueAfrica does bring up good points regarding the plot of this piece. It was also my first intention to point out that the "I promise I'll change for realsies you ...

    If I didn't know that ß was a sharp "s", then I would have thought that the great hero of the land was named Peter Flub. It doesn't sound very ...

  • Short Story » Spiritual, Romantic Re: What love could be

    Interesting. A couple (?) discovers drugs, gets horny, inexplicably turns into a pair of energy beings, and flies off into the vast expanses of space and time. This is what ...

  • Short Story » Romantic, Realistic Re: Beauty and the beast

    It strikes me as peculiar that this piece puts the little accent mark over Pokémon, but neglects to put periods after many of its sentences and gleefully drops letters from ...

  • Short Story » Narrative, Fantasy Re: Meh, Whatever

    This seems less like a short story and more like a storyboard for an ultra-violent Flash movie. Ever heard of Madness Combat? Check it out, you might like it. There's ...

    I thought the grammar was fine here, myself. At any rate I didn't get urges to tear my eyes out, or -- even worse -- stop reading mid-way. The prose ...

    I liked the way the story started and ended with a similar image. Lovely little loop, and the image itself isn't bad. And, as a story can be defined as ...

    I liked the way the words turn here -- they remind me somewhat of Lovecraft's writing, though in a more modern setting. There isn't much milling about, the piece goes ...

    You don't spend a significant amount of time on your descriptions and other needless fluff, which is nice. The plot does move forward, things do happen, and generally speaking, I ...
