Review of Dragon-male  
Review by Brick Chicken
Rated: 13+ | (3.5)
This story is very imaginative, and with a little work could be a real gem.

The character's sister...Ella, has a name change shortly into the story that is a little distracting. It took me a moment to decide if this was a new character or not.

Also, I would suggest reading the story aloud, you'll catch most of your mistakes that way. Although, I didn't notice any common misspellings, or really obvious errors.

I enjoyed the story. Thanks for a good read. *Smile*

Review of Agnes  
Review by Brick Chicken
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
My first review of the day and I got a good one to start off with. Awesome. This is a very nice story, and I enjoyed reading it. I'm glad Agnes found a nice place. The story moves along well, and has great characters. The piece is well-written, and I didn't see any glaring, or obvious errors, misspellings, etc.

The only thing I would change is this:

First of all, Agnes told Amy to choose a room for the summer, and then everything was taken out except the furniture and Amy’s things moved in.

Drop "First of all". It doesn't need to be there, and it leaves you expecting a "secondly" or "second of all" which never comes.

Otherwise, I didn't see anything that really needed a lot of attention. Anyway, very nice story, and I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for a good read. *Smile*

Review of What's Behind Me?  
Review by Brick Chicken
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
Very comical, and goofy! Lots of fun to read!

I did notice a couple of things here...

“The monster’s behind me right,” Mark asked nervously.

There should be a question mark after his question...

ALSO...

The werewolf popped out behind Steve. “No I’m not,” he said.

You need a comma....here...."No, I'm not." He said.

There's a few more like that. Overall, it's a really good read and a fun little comedy. Write on.

This came across my random reads thingy, and it caught my eye, because I love dogs so much.

Great poem, I could definitely tell you love Lily, and the last line was just awesome. I honestly don't know a lot about poetry, but I did think this part could use some attention...

We never over complicate
the world; we take it as it comes.
We're happy just to sit and wait
for yummy treats. (We don't have thumbs.)


The first two lines there are kinda clunky with "the world". Personally, I think it reads fine without it, and you should dump that "the world". It reads fine just:

"We never over complicate
we take it as it comes."

But like I said, I don't know anything about poetry. If it's supposed to be that way, forgive me.

Anyway, nice poem. I bet dogs really would say those things, too.

Review of Humdingers  
Review by Brick Chicken
Rated: E | (4.5)
Okay, I love hummingbirds, so this caught my eye right away! I really enjoyed reading this, and I really liked this line...

Instead, Jack thought it apropos
to caw just like a little crow.
Moe and Manny cringed each beak
because of odd hum-birdie speak.


The "hum-birdie speak" cracked me up! *Laugh*

I wasn't crazy about the last couple of lines. They just didn't seem to fit the rest of it, but overall, I thought it was a lot of fun. Just like hummingbirds!

Review of Cowboy Wise  
Review by Brick Chicken
Rated: E | (5.0)
Pretty good song lyrics. I actually waited to review this because I wanted to see if I could play and sing it, first...and I could with no problem. (Assuming it's meant to be a 1-4-5 progression) I played it with a standard mid-tempo country melody along with the progression and it sounded pretty good.

I like the lyrics. They're simple, straightforward, and insightful. Great job. *CowboyHat*

Review of Lesson Learned  
Review by Brick Chicken
Rated: ASR | (4.0)
Hahahahaha!!!! This is hilarious. A great, short little story. This absolutely has to be true! You just can't make up stuff this funny!

It's pretty short, so there's not much to review. The story is pretty well-written. I didn't notice any glaring or obvious errors that need attention.

Thanks for a great laugh! *Laugh*

Review of The Marsh (Haiku)  
Review by Brick Chicken
Rated: E | (5.0)
Far out. I loved the last line. I'm not really much of a poetry guy, but I've always really liked Haiku. The Japanese can really make something beautiful, out of not much. You've definitely done that here. Awesome poem, great read to get the morning started. Thanks, man. Write on!

Great story! Lots of fun! I wanted to use the "F word" as an adjective describing how awesome and funny this story is, but it's a public review, so you know....tacos. I'm not sure what tacos have to do with anything actually. Have fun figuring that out. *BigSmile*

This is very funny and well-written. No misspellings, glaring or obvious errors, all the punctuation is present and accounted for...*Cow*

Solid piece of writing! Anyone who sees this review and wants something fun and short to check out, should definitely read this.

I really love all of the holiday stories I've been running across! This one is especially fun, with Mrs. Claus taking over for Santa. The story is very imaginative, and I loved the way you handled the issues with weather and Father Time allowing for wormhole use, etc to make the trip happen in one night. Very clever! Anyway, I really loved the story. Thanks for such a fun read! Merry Christmas! *SantaHat*

Review of A Terrifying Life  
Review by Brick Chicken
Rated: E | (4.5)
This is a cool little story. I love that it didn't just ell about the life of a feral cat, but was told from the cat's perspective. Very nice touch!

I didn't see any mistakes at throughout the piece. The entire thing was very well-written and polished. No misspellings, etc.

I just really enjoyed it. Thanks for a great read.

This was a fun little holiday story, that most anyone can relate to! I loved that Bobby helped Gracie get into the Christmas spirit with such a thoughtful gift!

The story seemed pretty well-written. I didn't see or notice any obvious errors or misspellings. Overall, a fun read that I enjoyed very much.

Thanks, again & Merry Christmas.

Great story! Anyone can easily relate to this. It has very charming characters, particularly Charlie and Steve. Everyone either has a Charlie & Steve in their lives, or they ARE a Charlie or Steve.

Anyhoo...

I really loved the story. It was well-written and very polished. I would love to offer suggestions on how to improve it, but I really can't. The only thing this story needs, is to be read.

Thanks again for an enjoyable read!

Poor John Connor just can't catch a break! *Laugh*

A fun story! I really enjoyed it, and loved the ending! I thought Andrea was a fun character. The whole piece was very imaginative.

Very well-written, with no obvious or glaring mistakes, misspellings, etc.

Thanks for such a fun read!

Review of Roadtrip  
Review by Brick Chicken
Rated: 13+ | (3.5)
This was actually a pretty good story. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I did think the ending felt a little rushed. It built up to the action, then cut to the end.

Aside from that, it has some formatting issues. It could use some line breaks and indentions, etc to make it easier on the eyes.

I didn't notice any obvious misspellings, or grammatical errors. It was well-written. The dialogue was good. I enjoyed the story, but would like to see the ending stretched out more.

Review of Delivery Man  
Review by Brick Chicken
Rated: E | (5.0)
Wow! Great story. This was a lot of fun. I really loved Krampus. His attitude was just perfect. Technically, I thought the story was very well-written, no obvious misspellings or errors. I would recommend reading it aloud, just because that always seems to be one of the best editing tools (for me anyway). The dialogue was really good. Thanks for such an enjoyable read. *BigSmile*

Review of Traitor  
Review by Brick Chicken
Rated: 18+ | (3.0)
         A short, fun story, with plenty of action and a fun ending. Here's a few things I noticed...

         The whole piece could benefit from indentions. It's a short piece, so it isn't too tough on the eyes, but the indentions would definitely help.

         There are a few places, where a comma is needed, but you can probably find those simply by reading the piece aloud. Aside for those things, it's a fun story. Thanks for a fun read.

A really fun, holiday read! I really enjoyed it. If anyone sees this review and you're looking for something cute and fun to read right quick, you can't go wring with this one.

I can't offer any suggestions to improve it, because it's so well-written. There are no glaring or obvious errors in spelling, grammar, etc. Just some cute elves and a hilarious misunderstanding! Thanks for such an enjoyable read.

Review of Elf Story  
Review by Brick Chicken
Rated: E | (5.0)
Awesome story! I absolutely loved it! Your idea for the cell phone was wonderful, I could actually picture the scene very well, but I won't say anything else about it, because I don't want to ruin it for anyone else who sees this and decides to check the story out...which they totally should do.

I really enjoyed this line...

"Frozen white buckshot assaulted the hood of her raincoat, the beam of her flashlight a long sword of jittering diamonds in the dark. “Lucius!” she howled."

I didn't notice any obvious errors in spelling,grammar, punctuation, etc... I tried really hard to find something to pick on, but was unsuccessful. All in all, I think the story is well-written and quite polished. Thanks for such an enjoyable story.
