Review of Fire!  
Review by duskiestar
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
This is a good story, with a nice mix of emotions. I liked the way your characters developed, the way you describe the forest and the fire, and the way you described the rescue.

I think this piece would have deserved a 5, but I think you should have expanded a little on the two days before the rescue. Keep writing!

Good story, but how can he mix up the room numbers? Stupid of him to do that.

Keep writing.

Ooh, nice. You've got psychological elements here, together with a great idea of how to kidnap a child. Keep writing!

I didn't know people can actually force others to donate organs. Very original idea you have there! Keep writing.

Hmmm... you seem to have left the story hanging. What happened next?? Maybe you should think about expanding the story.

Keep writing.

I like your descriptions of the fights. You've got all the ingredients for a great fantasy story - a knight, a lady in distress, faith in a goddess and unknown creatures.

I liked the story a lot. How about a sequel?

Keep up the good work! Keep writing!

Review of Number One Guy  
Review by duskiestar
Rated: 18+ | (4.5)
I didn't know Santa can get a scolding from his parents as well. I would have thought that he'd have taken all his reindeer along, at least, for a vacation.

I like the letter - full of fun and it's believable too. Maybe you should have included one part about Santa asking for money?

Keep writing!

Review of Fade To Black  
Review by duskiestar
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
Nice piece... reminds of a teenager who's trying to assert herself. I like the way she painted her room black - makes a statement.

I guess all teenagers go through the same phase, having to make their parents see that they're growing up, that they're no longer kids.

Keep writing!

Hmm... a little too gory for a fairy tale. Maybe you should put in less details about bones and eyes...

Nice story, though. Keep writing!

Haha - I liked reading this - very funny (from my point of view, of course).

You must be quite young if you can remember asking for McNuggets when you were a kid. I remember that they only started to have McNuggets when I was in my late teens.

Nice story. Keep writing!

Not a bad attempt. It started off a little sad, with the lament about responsibilities and duties. I like the way you picked it up with the realisation that there's plenty of time to complete everything, and that there's no need to hurry anywhere.

Good work! Keep writing.

Oh boy, this is hilarious! I don't wonder that you hated the city, such a lot of bad things happened there.

I wonder if you enjoyed your second trip? It must have been a real shock to find out where your flight was going.

Nice work! Keep writing!

Review of 'wolves gathered'  
Review by duskiestar
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
Thanks for telling me about prose poems. I've been doing up some reading about the form on the web after I read your note.

I think this is beautiful as a prose poem. Not all readers may be able to understand it as a poem though. It doesn't seem to be a very popular form. As you say, the line between poetry and prose is very murky.

Keep writing!

Review of The Book  
Review by duskiestar
Rated: E | (4.5)
Nice one. I supposed you were referring to the Bible? Or do you have some other book in mind?

I like the rhythm you managed to get into the poem. The idea behind the poem seems simple, but you've made it more interesting by making out the book as an old one.

Keep writing!

Wow! This is a great story! I wish I can write that well.

It's nice to have a happy ending (even though you left the ending open to question). I would definitely love to read more.

I like the way you describe the dream as well.

Keep writing!

Review of A Hole in Me  
Review by duskiestar
Rated: E | (3.5)
I've never known my dad, either. But, unlike you, I don't think I can really feel love for a man I can't remember.

There seems to be quite a lot of pain in the poem, especially when you're describing the things that your dad has never done with you. I think you've done well here. Keep writing.

Review of Gravity  
Review by duskiestar
Rated: E | (4.5)
I like the way you've made the words into exact lengths for all the stanzas.

The poem has also got a storyline, by making it seem as though you are saying sorry to your loved one. This makes the poem much more likable.

Nice piece of work there. Keep writing!

Hahahaha this is so funny! I like it a lot. I think it's basically true though - parents somehow become idiots when they reach for an electrical device.

My problem is my mother's handphone - she usually messes up the settings and then comes and whines to me about the phone not working.

Great work! Keep writing!

Haha - this is quite accurate. Guess you were really there.

I've been to a few slumber parties before. This article really brings back memories. I like the way you've included the things that guys always think girls get up to on a slumber party.

Keep writing!

I think this is a nice piece of work - it invokes a lot of thoughts.

I like the basic idea of the poem... but would the kid who's graduating have any idea how the tree looked thirty years ago? I mean, if he's graduating, he's only about eighteen right?

Keep writing!

This is good! I really like the way you develop the character. I didn't like him at all, but I suppose that you want your readers to hate him, right?

Keep writing!
