Excerpt: The shriek from the front of the house almost caused a toothbrush stabbing. I gagged a second, caught between a yelp of pain and swallowing the mouthful of froth. I recovered in time to hear my name delivered in the next panicked shriek. Ah, I was on spider duty again.
Excerpt: They were in the Polaroid, wispy and big-haired, red-eyed and holding a baby. It was a moment before she realized that they were each holding a baby. Two infants in their arms, looking up at someone taking a picture with a crummy Polaroid. The room around them was too dark to make anything out, except maybe a Christmas tree just behind Mrs. Stinson. Maybe.

Excerpt: Over the lip of the drop, there was no sound. All was quiet. He stood among the burnt hutments, some dead bodies lay about and among them; a little child was sitting beside a woman stretched out on the blood-spattered dust and trampled sage-bushes.

Excerpt: Suddenly, a woman walked in. She was like Mama, except her pull-things hanging from her head was a different color. More of a sand, rather than a carrot food. I actually prefer to eat sand rather than carrot food, so I wanted her from the moment I saw her. Then she walked up to me.
"You must follow me, now," the woman said.
Excerpt: As she scurried among the eels, toads, and tall lotus flowers, Peov beamed dreamily. Yes, her baby would arise tall and beautiful like the lotus one day. He would not be a killer, a burglar, or a violator of men, but he would grow up erect with advanced virtues, serene as the Buddha.
Excerpt: The Poxtown Tavern was busy, as it always was that day of the week, and so a large crowd gathered to watch the duel in front of it. Inside the circle formed by the crowd, but away from the duelists, a beautiful woman with long, dark brown hair stood. She wore a silk white dress, and large ruby earrings, rings of sapphire and diamond, a necklace with solid emerald sequences, and a silver and gold bracelet which looped along her wrist two times, then swooped in the direction of her elbow, terminating in a blunted blade on her forearm. She was the Duchess of Fade, which was located in the neighbouring kingdom of Omnetsy. She gazed with her blue eyes on the two rivals for her. She was comfortable and evidently ready for some entertainment.

Excerpt: The only way to save my sister’s life was to have another baby. Armed with ovulation kits and timing abstinence to build up Dad’s sperm count, I was conceived two months later. Time was of the essence as she was getting sicker each day. The obstetricians and oncologists decided to deliver me as soon as I was viable. I just had to be born alive to harvest my bone marrow and then I could die from complications associated with early delivery. My mother was scheduled to have a C-section at 28 weeks. Normal pregnancies are around 40 weeks.

This month's question: What do you want to write in 2019?
Answer below  Editors love feedback! 
Last month's question: If you're an author of controversial topics, are you offended by hypersensitive reviews?
How do you respond to the reviewer?
BIG BAD WOLF is hopping  responded: Given the stuff I write about, I'm surprised I don't get more reviews where the reviewer overreacted. But, I did have a guy who only thought that dragon stories went a certain way, and he was negative about any story that went other than his way - funny, he hasn't been on the site in a few years and I'm now a Yellow. Then, there was this guy that complained that my stories were not about the search term in question "vore", when in fact they were, and he tried to tell everyone that in the reviews, giving me a few 1 star ratings as well, annoying, but I had the reviews "deleted" or whatever it is that removes the reviews from viewing, and blocked/ignored the guy for a year, and mentioned in the newsfeed that I'd gotten a few unfair reviews on a few items, which were promptly reviewed a few times each, thus bumping up the average a bit, or at least got a much fairer review by others.
I don't mind a low rating, if there's a good reason, like a lot of mistakes, but I actually addressed this sort of situation in an item of mine. "Reviewing Items You Don't Like"
Thanks for the feedback, comments are always appreciated! |
