Wow!

We've had such terrific response to this service that we've decided to change it from an "In and Out" to a message forum.  That way postings won't scroll off the page, and it will be easier for us to make sure no one is missed.

Please don't post on this page. Instead, post on the forum page:

: Welcome To Greenville     (Rated: 18+)
: 03-05-12 @ 6:13pm
: I like this story, how can I improve it. I entered it in a horror contest, and was trying to show the psychological affect of horror, so any help would be appreciated on what is missing. I have been writing for 7 months.

: Oddt427
: Jacquelline Jilles Part I     (Rated: E)
: 02-15-12 @ 5:23pm
: This is the story of a wealthy land-owner in a future where cloning has become a part of civilization, and humanity has reached the stars. I'd love it if anyone could provide some critiquing of the style, especially in regards to pacing.

: jasmine
: Memories of 13     (Rated: E)
: 02-15-12 @ 3:26pm

: Kip     (Rated: 13+)
: 02-15-12 @ 1:13am
: I am considering a series of shorts stories related to the characters in this one. I would like to know if there is any potential for this and some advice and feedback on this particular story as well. Thanks for your time and advice!

: 02-14-12 @ 6:03pm
: This is my first writing project since high school so be gentle. It is a simple story about a mother and her son. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Any feedback would be appreicated. Good or Bad.

: Smudger
: In memory of ....     (Rated: 13+)
: 02-14-12 @ 1:03pm
: Written for a short story competition, any subject, with a 750 word limit. A challenge for me as I am usually 'wordy'. It is loosely based on the life, and subsequent early death, of a good friend.It is my first attempt at writing in the first person.

: Kath unsworth
: Kookazoo     (Rated: E)
: 02-14-12 @ 2:48am
: Imagine a bunch of kids running a zoo, when they have no real animals. Please honest opinion on this chapter, does it create enough interest to read on?

: CrimsonStylus
: Writing Short #3     (Rated: 13+)
: 02-13-12 @ 7:56am
: I'm kinda having trouble with making a good format and with tenses. I would gladly appreciate if you take your time to review this as I need a serious critique in one of my works. Comments on the story's plot is much appreciated as well.

: Milo
: To Challenge an Emperor     (Rated: ASR)
: 02-13-12 @ 5:32am
: I love writing fantasy but the hardest part can be creating a believable world that readers can immediately believe and become immersed in. I'm wondering if I've done that successfully. Thanks! Always looking to improve!

: Avec
: From Spring to Summer     (Rated: GC)
: 02-11-12 @ 1:33am
: I originally wrote the internal dialogue with italics... This is a short story; however, critic of this will assist me with a larger piece of work. I think usually, I use the words he, she, and the character names too much.

: Avec
: Finding, Losing, Finding     (Rated: E)
: 02-11-12 @ 1:22am
: This is an excerpt from a book I am working on:" Finding, Losing, Finding." I am wondering if the tense sounds consistent or if it reads like a book would. I am wondering if my sentences should be more descriptive.

: Kasia ~ ID#1868420
: What Couldn't Be Said     (Rated: 13+)
: 02-10-12 @ 9:16pm
: I'm not very good with short stories, never have been. But I hope to change that and I've given it a go, but it's hard. Would love a review of this piece because, although I wrote it a while ago, I'm not altogether satisfied.

: Paigeturner
: The Snow Storm     (Rated: E)
: 08-18-11 @ 8:56pm
: Perhaps the first chapter of a longer story. However, the referenced item centers on a call boy, Tommy Delute, who is working for the Great Northern Railroad in Wellington, Wa, during the winter of 1910.

: Red Nev
: Sycophanticism     (Rated: 18+)
: 07-30-11 @ 9:06am
: The formatting and paragraphs are quite messy. Kindly bear with me. Thank you.

: Hope
: Faery: A Tale of Dreams - Prologue     (Rated: 13+)
: 07-03-11 @ 6:51am
: Not all faeries are pixies dressed in bluebells. Sometimes they're out for blood. In this case, Bambi's blood - and her dreams. If you'd like to review the other chapters I have posted, that'd be great, but I'm only specifically requesting the prologue:)

: J.W. Knight
: Elizabeth's Portrait (Part 4)     (Rated: E)
: 06-01-11 @ 11:40pm
: The next chapter of Elizabeth's story. This is done in third person perspective. Completely different than the otehr 3 chapters, since everything except her diary entries are in present day. Diary entries will still be done in first person, Elizabeth.

: J. Anya Christos
: Waiting Room For The Not Quite Dead     (Rated: 18+)
: 09-23-10 @ 9:04pm
: This is a story about how close we unknowingly court death in our mundane lives. Please comment on the POV. It switches from first person to third person omniscient. I was not sure if you put quotes around a person's thoughts. Is it boring? Where?
