I'm discursive and I want to have a conversation with the writer. I'm not keen on "checklist" ways of reviewing, and as a result, some of my reviews are quite long. I like to focus on the positives and highlight the good points, but if a piece is obviously "sloppy", I won't hesitate to look closely at it. I won't be deliberately negative and NEVER cruel, malicious, abusive or intolerant. These are definite no-nos. I can be a bit of a wimp about this, and I would rather not do a review than focus on a piece's shortcomings.
I'm good at...
Looking at how a story builds to its climax and then to it's end. Good characterisation is important as is the strength of the story idea. I look for the internal logic of the story - that it follows a predictable pattern; not that the outcome is predictable, but that we can see what's happening. While not a grammar/spelling/punctuation fiend, I do look for obvious errors, but not let that have too big a bearing on my rating. I love happy endings, but that never influences my reviews.

Hi kittygirl. I'd just finished a review of "Caress", (which I found delicious), when I saw this in your port, and it struck a chord with me. There is a little saying that goes, "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, so all we have is the gift of now. That's why it's called 'the present''". This moment, right NOW is a gift, and if we can seize that moment, we can make something worthwhile of it. If we can recognise that anything we do, we do now; that we can't change the past, no matter how painful, and that we can't know the future, then that's all we've got. I have a quote on my wall that says, "Simple is not the same as easy." This stuff is basically quite simple, but so difficult to put into practice that too many give up and fade away.

This piece provides some important insights that deserve a wide audience. We need to slow down and smell the roses. Peggy Lee had a song called, "Is That All There Is?" but her prescription was to "keep on dancing." Not a bad idea when you come to think about it!

Thank you, kittygirl - keep on writing (or dancing).

Review of The Encounter

Hi dean. This is a beautiful story, but I had the oddest sensation that I had read it before; maybe I had, at a time when I wasn't able to review it. Reviewing this story is quite difficult, because in some ways, all I can say is, fantastic, wonderful, beautiful and all the other superlatives. So let's take them as read and look at the story itself.

The first thing that really struck me is the lack of a plot. Well, there is a plot, but it is extraordinarily basic; boy meets girl, boy impregnates girl, boy leaves. However, that's how this story should be, because two things stand out with superb clarity - the characterisation and the environment/context. Your characters are finely drawn, Majah in particular, but also the Greek soldier, Neerjah, Majah's father, and even Marjah's mother, who we never see. But they stand out as well developed characters, and we can identify with them even at a span of 2000 years.

The environment surrounding these characters is also well established and developed. You must have put a great deal of research into this story and I could hear, see and smell the sounds, sights and smells of the location. And feel the emotions, particularly of Marjah as a girl first teetering on the brink of womanhood, then, through force of circumstances, plunging into it.

dean, this is a genuinely moving, poignant story, full of truth and, I suggest, although others may not agree, of beauty. But it also reminds me of something else. The French say "plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose", and I'm going to be sufficiently arrogant as to assume it needs translating - the more things change, the more they stay the same. India, 2000 years ago, Korea in the 1950s, Vietnam in the 1960s and for all I know, Iraq and Afghanistan today. Members of alien forces mate with local women and leave, leaving children behind who are neither (or both) of the local community and of the "invading" community. It does seem possible, in the context of your story, that the Greek soldier could see something of an ethnic difference in Marjah and possibly identify her as having Greek ancestors somewhere along the line.

dean, thank you for a superb story, professionally and touchingly told. My only hesitation, and it's wholly personal because I am an old softy, is that I had hoped for a happy ending. But you were telling a truth that does not, cannot, allow for that.

Warm regards

This is a useful survey that covers a range of issues for authors and their various interests. Would be helpful to be able to make more than one response to each question, if that's possible. If multiple submissions are allowed, is there a potential for confusion among the responses by the same person?

Review of Detention  
Rated: 18+ | (2.0)
Hi miami_fa. I must confess I found this story rather odd, although a little less so when I checked out other stories in your port, and it's clear you have a thing for BBWs. Even so, it was difficult for me to see where this story was going. There didn't seem to be any plot development other than his forced contact with the teacher's body, and characterisation was limited, basically to a description of the size of that body. It would be useful to know what she hoped to get out of this exercise, other than revenge; creative teaching methods are one thing, but this bizarre form of punishment is entirely another. There's not much information about the student either.

I should mention that when you use the first person pronoun, it should be capitalised as "I" rather than "i" (or even "ei" as it appeared on one occasion.) You also say, "and through her thigh over my shoulder," where the verb should be "threw".

Miami_fa, far be it from me to suggest that you don't write in this genre, but there is scope to be creative, and to explore the emotions of the protagonists. And develop the story a little more so that it might draw the reader further in.

Hi Hatsuda. Hoo boy, you sure do write a great romance. First "Lavender" now this. I found it touching, heart-warming and very moving. You draw your characters with a sensitive yet firm touch - even the Commodore, who we don't see, and I don't count the viewing. He only comes to us through the voices of others, and it takes real skill to do that so well. They stand out as real people in potentially real-life situations, and the story itself is woven from those same real-life situations. To say that I like it is an understatement; worth 5.0 of anybody's rating.

Seeing as the skill of reviewing is supposed to be about balance (I'm not yet wholly convinced about that), could I ask a couple of questions, neither of which in any sense affect my overall review. Firstly, how did Eve know who Cliff was? It seems unlikely that Lenore had briefed her, although that's possible. It's also unlikely that there were any recent photos of Cliff to show her. There I go, picking at the magic of the story, but hoping it won't unravel.

Secondly, I would guess they were both in their early forties; puts Lenore in her late thirties when Eve was born, a tad late for a first child but by no means impossible. So they've lost 20-25 years of being with each other.

Hatsuda, you've produced a poignant and affecting piece with just enough bitter-sweetness to need tissues close handy. Thank you for another great read.

Hi Riza (see, I read your bio:)) This is a lovely story, powerful and poignant. It tells of a young woman with enormous courage discovering that not everyone is to be distrusted and that friendship doesn't depend on where you live or who your family is - but who you are. You have covered this with great sensitivity but deleoped your characters as real people who are interesting in their own right. I would liketo know where this story is set - in Malaysia, USA, maybe even in Australia.

As I like to live up to my reputation of being a grumpy old man (I'm not really) but I do search for spelling/grammatical errors. The odd part is that the better the story, the harder I search. In your case, I have tried REAL hard. And, eureka, I found just one teeny tiny query. You say, "within striking distance if the could touch me"; I think the "the" should read "they". Should I allow that microscopic error to cause me to downgarde my rating from 5.0 to 4.5? Nah, the story's too good!

Thank you, Riza, for an enchanting read; I hope you continue this story and let us know how Lucy and Derek develop their relationship.

Hi mtclose. This is an interesting look at the meaning of life, and one that deserves attention. You have tried to compress into a few words what writers throughout the ages have devoted many volumes to, and made a creditable attempt at doing so.

That said, there are one or two points that perhaps need some reflection. Right at the end, you talk about, "someone who can only see the shadows casted by all the blessings". Apart from the fact that it should be "cast" rather than "casted", I find it difficult to conceive that our blessings could result in shadows being cast. This seems IMHO, contradictory. I'm also curious about people's lives being taken, "with their consent". I'm not sure how that might work in practice.

There are also one or two spelling errors; "jsut" and "garunteed" in the first line should read "just" and "guaranteed". Then, capital "I" in line two after the "?"and "Its" at the beginning of the last sentence should have an apostrophe as "it's". It's an abbreviation of "it is".

mtclose, I hope I'm not giving you the impression that I'm just sitting back sniping about form and structure. The problem is that, in a very short piece like this, typos and spelling errors tend to stand out more than in a longer piece. You then run the risk of losing your readers through a flawed framework.

That said, you are clearly concerned about the human condition. Please keep the flame burning and keep writing.

Review of Anger-management  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (3.5)
Hi Mockingbird. I'll tell you a secret - you don't have anger management problems. You don't. The term "anger management is highly misleading - you feel angry, I feel angry, the President of the USA feels angry; anger is a normal human emotion that we all feel from time to time. And we don't talk about misery managment or rejection management, let alone happiness management. The pont is not what you feel but what you do about it. It's an issue of behaviour, not about emotions.

You've put your finger on the central point of the issue "I can't change the people around me," Each of us is responsible for our own behaviour(s), and not for anyone else; conversely, others are not responsible for your behaviour. This isn't really the forum for a detailed discussion about this subject, but after many years of working in this field, I can say that I don't believe that you can't control the fire. Oh, don't get me wrong, it's not easy, but a starting point is to recognise exactly what's happening inside you when the temperature starts to rise. In other words, know yourself, intimately, warts and all. The other direction is to focus your anger and channel it into positive actions. Decide what it is that REALLY (really) gives your life meaning and focus on working towards goals related to those meanings.

More bad news, I'm afraid - you can't "become passive, neutral towards everything and everyone" Life doesn't work that way, and if you try too hard, you are absolutely right; you will lose your humanity.

Oh, and let me give you another piece of un-asked for advice - if you spend too much time trying to answer the qusetion, "why?" you will hurt yourself, because there really aren't any answers. None that make sense anyway.

If, by any chance, you want to continue this conversation, please feel free to e-mail me. Thank you for your courage in being prepared to expose your vulnerability in this way. I hope your journey becomes a little less painful for you.

Best wishes

Hi Simple Dykie. Yes, and I hope your wife also caught a "small but precious glimpse of what love is." This is a delightful story of what is often an everyday occurrence, when it becomes necessary to barricade yourself in the bathroom and defend your possession of the hot water with all the resources at your command.

The story is well developed with a lightness of touch essential to successful comedy writing. The situation is not inherently amusing - in fact it can be downright infuriating. But you have treated it in a way that makes me, at least, smile and once or twice, laugh out loud. Very funny, very well structured, very worthwhile and very deserving of a 5.0 rating.

Many thanks, Simple Dykie, for a lovely, inspiring read.

Hi Tom. My heart goes out to Fred, it really does. Those of us who have tinnitis understand about unrelieved noises! This is a delightful story, well constructed and developed, with an almost believable plot and sympathetic characters. You've created a low key comedy that would stand up in any medium - I'd like to see this on the screen. The language is entirely appropriate and sufficiently sophisticated to appeal to anyone who likes a good laugh - even if we are feeling sort of sorry for Fred. Th moral is, don't fiddle with things you don't understand - and buy a good pair of ear-plugs!

Thank you for an enjoyable read.

Hi Becky. This is an interesting adventure in relationships and, shall we say, "close personal encounters". It wasn't until I read your bio and saw your fascination with vampires that I was able to understand the last line. The speaker's feelings and desires are crystal clear and they paint a picture of someone who wants to lose herself (I presume the speaker is female, as is the writer) in her lover, and to let him take her to wherever he wants to go. This is a nice piece of free verse; it might, PERHAPS, be a bit longer, but you have certainly covered the emotions that run rampant through the poem. Good things come in small packages.

Thank you, Becky

Review of Gone wrong  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: 18+ | (3.0)
Hi imagination. There is much to like in this little story. You have captured the fear, frustration and eventually, resignation of the woman waiting for her husband to return. He has broken promises before, and she has convinced herself that it is happening again. This is a very worthwhile exploration of a complex emotional situation, and you have handled it very well.

I do have one or two queries about form - content is pretty good. In "He must have gotten help up again", "help" should probably be "held". " a small, red, gift bad" should probably refer to a "bag". "my care keys" are probably "car keys". "and an heart shaped pendent" should be "a heart shaped pendant". "spent 30 dollars on last myself;" is not clear, unless you mean "spent my last 30 dollars on myself". Similarly, "your lies and the false accusations of where you have been" seems an odd construction - an accusation is a challenge about truth or otherwise. Maybe something like, "your lies and false statements ..." although "lies" by itself would be quite adequate.

Imagination, you have some powerful descriptions in this piece - her refusal to close her eyes, his hand burning her shoulder etc. If I appear to be picky over grammar etc, I apologise, and i realise that this is your baby and i don't want to appear to be belittling your efforts. At the same time, it is useful to get grammar, spelling and punctuation right so that these things don't detract the reader from the message of the story.

Thank you for this, imagination and pl;ease keep on with your writing.

Review of Okay.  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.0)
Hi scarlette. This is a poignant cry from the heart. You say in your portfolio, "Reading my work will tell you more about me than I ever could." Okay, then it sounds as if you are suffering all the pain of uncertainty that is a curse to so many people. This may (or may not) help, but I read in a book by Stan Barstow ("The Right True End"), the following statement, "If this life is all any of us have got, and that it time and again appears senseless to the point of lunacy, then the only choice is to get out and take it by the short hairs and make it sing something at least resembling our tune." Similarly, there is a poem ("Invictus") by William Ernest Henley, that ends:

"It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul. "

In this context, the whole poem is worth reading; it's quite short - only 4 verses.

In other words, your life is what YOU make it. so go out there and make it good. Like you say, believe in yourself. So, believe in yourself as a writer; you're well on the road already.

Review of Until Forever  
Rated: E | (5.0)
Hi unforgettable. This is powerful stuff, shot through with the pain of loss. Dare I enquire whether there is an autobiographical element to this piece? It does spell out clearly the hurt of unrequited love, so clearly, in fact, that IMHO it is almost impossible to express this unless you have felt it personally. The poem is well constructed, without trying to force rhymes where, to do so would corrupt the flow of the message.

To say that I enjoyed this is, perhaps, misleading, but it is so compelling that it would be very hard to ignore. If all your work is as strong and persuasive as this, I must immediately find your port for further reading. Thank you; please keep posting your items, even if they are dark. Dark isn't bad and often gives more insight into the human condition than less committed pieces.

Hi Kate

This is an excellent piece that encapsulates what many (?most) of us discover at some time or other. I think you hit the bullseye when you referred to "conditional love" in the first verse; is there an implication that, in chasing your dreams, you may be able to discover unconditional love? If so, I guess, the choice will always be for adventure rather than security.

I'd just like to offer three little quotations:

"Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death." (James F Byrnes)

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature … Life is either a daring adventure or it is nothing." (Helen Keller)

"There is no security on this earth, there is only opportunity." (General Douglas MacArthur)

That almost certainly tells you which path I would take. And as we can never know the future, who is to say that the "small town, small family, small job" option wouldn't turn sour by economic downturn, sickness, relationship breakdown (just to be a smarty pants, what is the difference between a relationship breakDOWN and a relationship breakUP? :))?

Kate, this is a first class piece of free verse, economical in its structure, yet compelling in the way it illustrates a common dilemma. And one that not infrequently recurs over the course of a lifetime. Not sure why you rated this 13+ - I'd give it no higher than ASR, maybe even E. But that, of course is only my opinion.

Thank you, Kate, this well deserves a 5.

Hi Dreamin1_FoggyNewYears This is a particularly powerful piece, and your willingness to bare your soul in this way almost hurts to read it..

I'd just like to make a few points about what you've written; the first is that there is a distinction between simple and easy. The "iron rules of life" are simple, but often so difficult as to be nearly impossible. So, first, you are responsible for what you do; you are NOT responsible for the actions of others. To look at that any other way invites total anarchy.

Second of all, we live our entire lives by a process of choices, and with those choices come consequences from which we cannot escape. We'd just better be smart enough to think through the potential consequences.

Third of all (and I'll stop here) domestic violence (indeed, ANY violence) is based on a desire to control the other, and have the power to enforce that control. In many (most?) cases, this is a reflection of an inability on the part of the abuser to control themselves or their own environment. So they default to attempting to enforce their control on others. And, incidentally, actions always, but ALWAYS speak louder than words.

Dreamin1, I've read a little of your blog, and I'm so impressed by your ability to keep going in spite of your pain. Well, I can't hold your hand when you die, although, given my age (70) I'm likely to shuffle off this mortal coil before you do. But in that context, you might be interested in my story "One Last Time".

Please keep writing, Dreamin1; it's a good purgative for the soul.

With great respect

Review of How To Be  
Rated: E | (3.5)
Hi Marcus

I love the philosophy behind this poem, and I agree wholeheartedly with what you are saying. A+ for the content.

I do have some problems with the structure, however; it is a question of making the lines scan effectively. Now, I'm no poet - I stick to blank verse rather than trying to force rhymes to fit. Now, I'm going to risk making a complete fool of myself and suggest what I think might be more effective scansion:

Line 1, Delete, "sit and" & change "that is," to "of" and insert "best" before "to"
Line 2, change "the existence that is" to "what it is to be"
Line 4, change "a wave of dissatisfying" to "frustrating"
Line 6, insert before "to", "how is it"

Line 7, Change the line to, "As I walk in the sun, so warm and so bright"
Line 8, Change the line to "My outlook then rushes to a maximum height"
Line 9, Change the line to "Though this time of great joy will later be plain"
Line 10, Change "dear" to "dearly" and "there is fear" to "comes pain"
Line 11, Change "reflection to "reflecting", then delete "it is" & insert "most" before "truly"
Line 12, Delete "the" and insert "should I" before "to"

Line 13, Insert "that" before "I"
Line 14, Change the line to "I ask what life can I possibly live?"
Line 15, Change "reality" to "meaning and purpose"
Line 16, Change line to read, "I ask, of what does my real mind consist"
Line 18, Change the line to read, "Continues the question, how best can I be?"

This then makes the poem read like this:

As I ponder the elegance of how best to be
I so quickly forget what it is to be me
When I awake from a dream of euphoric delusions
The day then leads to frustrating conclusions
In mid meditation of a life that is me
I still ask my self, how is it to be

As I walk in the sun so warm and so bright
My outlook then rushes to a maximum height
Though this time of great joy will later be plain
I shall hold this time dearly, for later comes pain
Reflecting on what I most truly see
Leads me to question still, how should I be

Considering all that I have to give
I ask what life can I possibly live
When questions of meaning and purpose persist
I ask, of what does my real mind consist?
The idea that existence should be used happily
Continues the question, how best can I be?

Marcus, you are absolutely entitled to jump up and down and scream and shout at me for butchering your poem. I have tried to maintain the meaning throughout but to make it read a little more smoothly and to scan with a fraction more resonance. I have no issues with the content at all; it mirrors my own personal philosophy quite closely. What I've been looking at is form. I hope this makes at least some sense; please feel free to respond in whatever terms you think fit. I am pretty well armoured against negatives, but I will be happy to engage with you on any points at all.

I gotta tell ya, anything bigger than DD is seriously deformed. And what matters (to me, anyway) is not size but sensitivity, and as a rule of thumb, the larger the boob, the less sensitive. Give me a smaller size but with hypersensitive nipples/areolas any day. Play with them and listen for the super-erotic response.

Review of Permeation  
Rated: 18+ | (4.5)
Um, yes, this is an enormously powerful piece of writing, delineating the complete collapse of one man.We don't know the trigger, the cause of his attack on his wife, and it is evident that, in such circumstances, making him sit in front of a therapist, so-called is a farcical waste of time.

I am strongly opposed to the death penalty, in any form, but that doesn't detract from the power and underlying pathos of this story. Reverting to the therapist intervention, that would be more logical if he wasn't facing the death penalty. Nevertheless, this story deserves greater exposure. I would see it as another strike against the death penalty; you may disagree, and I'm entirely comfortable with that, but my question is, "And his death achieved what?"

People may, perhaps should, be appalled at what he has done. But he remains a human being. Perhaps the only minor flaw in this story is that he could appear more human if we knew more of what drove him to act as he did.

Even so, Elemenopy, gut wrenching where guts need to be wrenched. More, please.

Review of The Forgotten  
Rated: E | (3.5)
This is an interesting piece of work describing a situation that, I think, happens too often in real life, although perhaps not to the same extent. I found the story engaging and well-written, although I think "forgot" in the penultimate paragraph should be "forget". That leads me to a question; who will not forget? I presume he is not contemplating suicide as he has returned to his computer to search for more directions. So what is the point of the photograph.

I think we all have broken dreams, but somehow Darryl has taken this to extremes. A question that immediately springs to mind is, how can Darryl fund all these dreams? If he has a well-paid job/profession, then there is an "unbroken dream" so to speak. If he is independently wealthy, where did the money come from? Do you think that there may be a problem where Darryl is essentially passive, but never defeated? He continues his search with a seeming optimism, but appears to lack persistence. These are not necessarily characteristics that would make him social outcast that he seems to be.

Bonnie, thank you for this story; I enjoyed the idea behind it, and the writing was well constructed and I should add my apologies if I have seemed to be a little harsh.

Review of What is Erotica?  
Rated: 18+ | (3.5)
I'm not so sure about the highly educated, but I do enjoy erotica, differentiated from pornography. This is the problem; there is no clearly defined dividing line between erotic literature and porn. The significant response to the poll, "Sometimes, it depends on how the author writes it" seems to me to be the key; and sometimes it also depends on how the reader reads it.

As usual with these types of questions, the extremes are easy to define, but the grey area in the middle is more problematic. I think that a useful touchstone is, "does this piece hold my interest throughout - and do I want to read more, wither of this story or by this author?" If the answer is "yes", I would suggest it is erotic literature. If, on the other hand it is simply what is sometimes called a "stroke" story that eventually becomes boring, then it is pro0bably porn. But, beware, one person's erotica is another's porn, and vice versa.

I actually think that the term "art" is over-used and frequently misunderstood. Many writers of erotic literature (and I am one) would laugh at the idea that what they are writing is art (so called). But similarly, they would refute the idea that what they write is pornography. What it is, I think, is escapist fantasy, and in that, they are joined by sci-fi writers, sword & sorcery fantasists, horror devotees (include the now popular vampire genre) and even the Mills & Boon type authors, et hoc genus omne (that's just put in to give the impression that I might possibly be highly educated. Either that, or I have a book of Latin tags :))
