| "The White Dome," reviewed by Shy0ne This was interesting but I found it kind of sad and depressing. I do like some of the imagery, like this stanza... Read the rest of the review and the poem here! |
The Davis prologue and chapters 1-4, reviewed by Shy0ne I like this little opening form the characters talking of each other, although it would have been nice to had some detail of what they looked like or some quirks of their personality. Over all a nice start to the story... Read the rest of the review and the story here! |
"Freight," reviewed by Shy0ne I really enjoyed this story. You caught my attention to the great dialog and I like the atmosphere you established right a way. a crowded train with all sorts of people of varying types and there is robots! Or androids! and the prejudiced glance and feelings towards them, a nice twist for the future. I also really liked Freight's name, it most fitting with who he is and your ending was great! Read the story here! |
"poor/obscure vs. RICH!and!FAMOUS!," reviewed by Shy0ne Reading both of these poem gave me a bit of depression in that I want to be either poor nor rich as it speaks of all the negative in both the worlds. The last one Its not a riot until we all arrive was interesting, I liked the repeat of the last words giving it a very chanting style to the poem. Nice work and I enjoyed all three of these poems. Read the poem here! |
"Angel Horror Story - The Ring," reviewed by Shy0ne I am not a fan of horror as the scare the heck out of me. (too vivid imagination!) That said I liked this as it was creepy but not that scare the what-its out of you. I like the dynamic of Clair and Alica and you get the feeling they know each other very well. One thing is I have heard and seen very small bits of the Ring so I found that I could follow the story well enough but those that have no knowledge might get a bit confused. You might want to add a bit of background detail of this, how I am not sure. As this is a good story as it is. I liked none the less. Read the story here! |
