  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: How Do You Lose What You Have Never Had?

    Very gripping, and quite startling. I really like the way you've distanced the reader from the scene, which has more effect than being inside the characters head. It's a hard ...

  • Short Story » General, General Re: squeak. . . . squeak

    Interesting. This is really well written. My suggestions: 'jarred', i assume this is the name of the boy, i struggled at the beginning. The word 'never'd' confused me slightly as ...

  • Poetry » Lyrical, General Re: Purple Memories

    Amazing. I agree that the verse order could be changed. The 'dark raging land' interupts the dream-like flow a bit. Great use of imagery, you've managed to use a collection ...

  • Novel / Chapter » Fantasy, General Re: Silent#1

    Very gripping. Complex, but still sweet. I like the way you've really captured the main characters voice (ignore the irony of that, i don't know how else to phrase it). ...
