Review of Cheating  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: ASR | (3.0)
Hello!

General Disclaimer: My review is only my opinion, and is only meant to be helpful to you.

My Rating: 3

Impression of Title: When I saw the title and then that it was labeled as "Children's," it put me off a little, because I could not comprehend how the two fit with each other.

Spelling, Grammar, Punctuation: This is far better than I see a lot of the times, though you do have a few mistakes:
Cheating has other consequences too." There should be a comma after consequences.
"Moreover, ... everything to make lives easy." Lives should be life OR make it, "to make their lives easy."
"They cheat on their friends, their parents, relationships, and even the society at times." The flow of this is messed up, I believe because of the on and then the society. If you took out the rest of the sentence, you would not say, "They cheat on society," it would must likely be, "They cheat society."
"Because though in today’s fast-paced world getting away with your darkest deeds seems the coolest thing, honesty is still the best policy for the overall happiness in life." I don't see a point to the though.

My thoughts: You have a very good point and do a fine job of explaining.

Flow/Rhythm: This is a little off-putting; I would say if you fix the the above issues that I pointed out, you'd be fine.

Suggestions:
"Often when I am taking exams, I find people taking out notes secretly and jotting down answers." I think you need to revise this. I had to read it twice. I'm not quite sure why a student would be jotting down answers during the test, wouldn't he/she already have them?
Also, I think you might want to down the font and color a bit, for such a serious essay it seems a little far out.
One more thing...can I ask why you labeled this Children's? It does not have a readability based towards children, nor really a topic. I think a better label would be Young Adult or Educational.

Overall: Again, very good point and good way of expressing it.

Hi Shannon,

Oh god...you made me cry. It seems trivial to talk about the form and rhythm now, but I will.


General Disclaimer: My review is only my opinion, and is only meant to be helpful to you.

My Rating: 4 stars just for content.

Impression of Title: Good, but should be capitalized and without the period.

Spelling, Grammar, Punctuation: Good, I saw no mistakes.

My thoughts: Sad. Very, very sad. I liked the ending though, it was a nice closing.

Flow/Rhythm: You really didn't have any, but I don't think you need one.

Suggestions: None, you did fine on your own.

Overall: Thought provoking and heartbreaking.

*Peace* Love, Life, and Covens

Review of You Terrify Me  
Rated: E | (3.5)
This is awesome! It makes me think of some of the characters from my original novels. I think it would look better if you took out the double spacing between the lines, the stanzas look me connected. Just my opinion.

You're definitely a good writer, thanks for sharing!

Review of The Dream Door  
Rated: E | (4.0)
Hunters Moon,

This is very good! I liked your use of rhyme, though I don't think it was quite strong enough at some points, if you know what I mean. All in all though, it was very good. The ending made me laugh.
Thanks for sharing your talent!

Review of The One I Loathe  
for entry "Epilogue
Rated: E | (4.0)
Amanda,

Wow, this was great!
I do have to point that I think you used too many exclamation points. It takes away from the story, and, although I know this is going to sound some what cruel even though it's not meant to be, it makes the story seem almost childish. Exclamation points should really only be used in extreme cases, or in dialogue, when someone yells or sounds surprised.
Other than that, your spelling and grammer was fine, though I did see a few mistakes where you missed the end quote (") at the end of someone's speech.

Keep on writing,
Evanescense

Review of Beachcomber  
Rated: ASR | (3.5)
Mandyt,

Wow, this was sad. But really good! I like the fact that you showed both Point of Views, it made the story better.

The saddest thing, is that some relationships really are like this, though if I had a guy that knew when I needed space and willing to wait for me, I would definetaly keep him.

Keep writing!
