Review of "The Aristocrats"  
Review by Genipher

Rated: E | (5.0)
I don't know why, but I stared at the word "daquiris" for far too long before it finally clicked in my brain what it was supposed to be. Reminds me of the first time I saw "Bichon Frise" written down and said, "Bitchin' Freeze"*Laugh* I guess you can tell I ain't much of a drinker, eh?

Okay, getting off that bunny trail...

Entertaining story. I love watching comedians. Seems like a hard job, though, to keep an act flowing and the audience laughing. Glad Emmie could see the humor in her friend crashing and burning. *Fire* *Wink*

Story seemed to fluctuate perspectives, which is a little distracting. Otherwise, great short story! Though I am curious what crime Sean was framed for...

"Welcome to the best darn contest on WDC!"

"The best, eh? Are you sure that wasn't a bunch of he said, she said?"

"Duh, of course not. That's not allowed here."

"Really? How about 'he asked'? Or 'she pouted'?"

"Not a teeny bit."

"Well, then how will the readers know who's speaking? Or where the scene is set? Or..."

"That's where creativity comes into play. And, trust me, it's a ton of fun coming up with something outside-the-box and amusing to the readers!"

"That does sound kinda interesting..."

"More than kinda! Like I said, best contest ever. Every month there is a fun prompt-"

"Like?"

"Hm. Well, like having a conversation with a vampire or Santa or two people trapped on a desert island."

"That sounds pretty cool. Sounds like something I could do."

"And then there's the prizes--"

"There's prizes?"

"I thought that would catch your attention. Yup, you get GPs just for entering!"

"What else? I assume there's a first place prize?"

"Sounding kinda greedy there, friend but, yeah. First place prize is 5k GPs and a Merit Badge."

"That's it. I can't stand it any longer!"

"What do you mean?"

"I've got to enter this contest. It's the best darn thing I've ever heard about!"

"Told ya so!"

What an interesting experience. My dad said he saw a flying object like that. He lives in Oregon, out in the country. Said he was out putting the chickens to bed and it came from over the trees, spotted him, and stopped just as he noticed it. Like it was watching him. He said he just stood there, staring, until it zipped up and went back over the trees, toward the hills.

Dad just shrugged off the experience because he knew there was a government facility a few miles away. He said he figured the government was out testing. Or trying to set him up so he'd run to the press.

I've seen weird things, too but, as a Christian (and being much like my dad) I just kinda shrug them off as spiritual or the government trying out new tech, etc.

Since you worked for in the Navy and have more knowledge of what goes on in the military, etc., do you think it could have been a government experiment that you witnessed?

As a stay-at-home mom of 8 wonderfully evil minions, I totally understand the chaos. Thankfully, I have a mix of both genders so the house isn't 100% testosterone! A friend of mine has 5 girls, so she's got the house flooded with estrogen. I'm sure her husband loves all the random sobbing that females can bring to the table. *Wink*

Anyway, from my experience, taking time to write actually causes the minions to lose it more rather than less. *Laugh* It would be lovely if getting a p/t job writing about being a stay-at-home mom solved the problems of disobedient, lazy, willful minions. I mean, how can I get them to take over the world if they can't even pick their clothes up off the floor?

Still, what doesn't work for one mom could work for another, as proven in your story. *Smile*

Anyway, as to the actual story..."seeing" the action of the fighting boys was a good touch. Mostly telling rather than showing, but it worked. No punctuation, spelling, or grammar errors that I could spot.

Appreciated a story that acknowledges how hard it can be for us stay-at-homers. Thank ya!

What a lovely world, where the moon makes faces and five-year-olds can tend a fire all by themselves. *Devilish*
And butts. Ah, rear ends will never not be funny. Trust me, I've got kids. Can't help but laugh about butts and farts all the time. *Laugh*

I only really noticed one punctuation error that you made throughout, ahem, the story Here 'tis:

*Rocket* When a character speaks, you need to have a comma before the end-quote. For example:
"This is a nice night(.)(,)" said Mandy with a, believe it or not, smile on her face.

Fix all those piddly punctuation errors and you'll be right as rain!

Funny story. I really enjoyed it!

Oh, and on a completely different note....if you write up your bio in your portfolio, we can all get to know you better. *Bigsmile*

Is this an idea you're toying with? Notes for yourself? If so, you should put it on "private: my eyes only" to keep folks from getting a sneak peek.

Sounds like it would make for a fun Interactive, if that's what you're planning? Though I'd prefer to be my middle-aged self, controlling the element of *Fire* fire *Fire*. Can there be an option to be an older human rather than a teen? Been there, done that. *Laugh*

You will never know how excited I was that somebody started a Dystopian/Apocalyptic contest. I had been considering doing it myself, a few years ago, but could never flesh it out.

One of my favorite genres are books that fit in the SHTF scenarios. End time, grid down, etc. etc. I find it extremely interesting diving into the life of a character in dire straights and "witnessing" how they survive.

Your contest is well laid out. Prizes are clear. Rules are clear.

Suggestions:

*Heart* The prompt is hard to find, as it's buried in the rules. I would create a dropnote just for the prompt or put it in a prominent spot on the page so a writer can see it at a glance.

*Heart* You have a dropnote list of winners, which is great. I would include the bitem link to their story, next to their name, so anyone who hasn't read the story can easily click and read.

*Heart* When you declare a winner it would be helpful if you posted a new message in the thread of your contest.

*Heart* Just for fun, you could include a countdown, um, counter. *Laugh* That way folks can tell when your contest is running and when a round ends.

Can't wait to see what the next prompt will be, in April!
Thank you for creating this contest!!

I believe I've been lurking or joining your contest since you started it, five years ago. Since the get-go I've enjoyed seeing the different kinds of prompts you put out. Trying to figure out a different angle and stretch my "sci fi-ness" has been a lot of fun.

One of the things I really like about this contest and the way you lay it out is how you write a little something as inspiration. My suggestion, though, would be to put your story under a dropnote, since it can sometimes be hard to separate it from the prompt. Doing so will "clean up" the layout a bit, as well, which makes it easier for writers to suss out all the pertinent information.

I have noticed entries seem kinda sparse but that happens to a lot of contests. Advertising in the news feed will help remind newbies and oldbies that this contest exists and, hopefully, draw more people to write. I mean, this is sci-fi! Everyone loves sci-fi. And those that don't are just weirdos! *Laugh*

Another suggestion would be to maybe increase your first prize. Or change it up every month. GPs as a prize one month, Merit Badge the next, etc.

All-in-all, love this contest. I look forward to the new prompt every month!

Got a good laugh from this conversation. At first I kept thinking, "But the dog's not talking!" *poutpoutpout* But then, the end and the reveal! It worked so well!

I also liked how Alfonzo called Skinfirth "Skinflint" *Laugh* And, of course, all the doggie puns were icing on the cake.

Here I was, hoping to have an easy win at this contest but then I've got this contender. *Wink*

I don't see anything that needs fixin' or improvement. Looks good!

What an evil, wee old leprechaun! I'm bettin' he was, perhaps, the black sheep in his family. Perhaps even a Brownie in disguise! Good thing you found the shamrock before he unleashed the bad luck! *Wink*

There were a few punctuation errors but nothing so huge that it draws the reader out of the story.

Enjoyed this read. *Bigsmile*

Review of Luck of the Bard

What lovely descriptions. I wanted to know more about Lyryk (beautiful name, by the way) and follow along to see what sorts of folks she would interact with but, while you had a great start to a story, it kinda just...ended abruptly. I was looking for a plot. Waiting to see what adventure(s) the bard might have, especially after having the luck of a shamrock grow near her. Honestly, I was disappointed that the story didn't go anywhere. What "luck" did she experience? I wanted to know. *Sad*

There was great potential here. I would have loved to read more but I understand how hard it can be to get a story in under 300 words.

As a Christ follower, this story really spoke to me. It is far to easy to let life get in the way of our relationship with Yahweh and I can't count how many times I've prayed, "If you just do 'this', then I'll do 'that'." sigh.

This was a good reminder that we should keep the promises we make with not only our Creator, but everyone else around us.

The end of this story, I was starting to feel skeptical like, "Uh, huh. Riiiight." But then the reveal of the nightmare and I was able to sink back into the fantasy. *Laugh* Got me there!

I didn't notice any spelling errors or grammatical mistakes. Loved how this was set in the future, with all the holograms and whatnot.

Honestly, I was looking for something to nitpick but, sheesh, you gave me nothing! Instead, I was immediately drawn in to this story and couldn't leave until I reached the end.

I loved how the culture is slowly revealed through action. Loved the description of the ram and how it was used as a lesson. The fight scene had me feeling like I was there, which is exactly how a reader should feel. The fear at the end when Emmit realizes what's going on and the shock of it all--as a parent, I could feel that.

So I guess I'm not much help, as you've obviously got this well in hand. Hopefully you'll write more about Richard and we readers can ride along on this adventure and see what happens next in this world!

Review of YoungTown  
Review by Genipher
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: 18+ | (4.0)
Kids surviving alone in the wild west? I love it! It is a wonderful concept and I found myself drawn in to their adventure.

I do have a couple of nitpicks that, hopefully, will be helpful:

*Bootl* In the fourth section, Jason says they have enough supplies and food to possibly last for years. I guess this can show how the kids don't fully understand the situation...that they can't rightly judge how much they actually have. But since they come across as fairly intelligent and competent I found myself feeling drawn out of the story and skeptical. Most of us know the pioneers could only carry so much food. It wouldn't have lasted years, as they had to resupply when they could and did a lot of hunting along the way. My suggestion would be to take out that particular comment.

*Bootr* In the fifth section the conversation with the outlaw seems strange. I don't understand why the kids would know who these men are or why they would say anything to Jason's face about "this being easy". It all seems a bit awkward. Though I do love the confrontation, it just feels like it needs to be tweaked a bit. I also would have loved to read more and really get into the action of the kids defending themselves against these criminals.

*Bootl* Also in the fifth section, you have an out-of-place question mark. *Wink*

*Bootr* The jump from the fifth section to the sixth is a bit abrupt. Feels too rushed. I was expecting more adventure and drama and to experience all they experienced as they traveled to the new town. Did they lose any kids along the way to a snake bite, drowning, or dysentery? Were any romances formed along the way, among the older teens (completely plausible in that time era)? What happened when they sent out hunting parties? Did anyone try to challenge Jason's apparent leadership role?

*Bootl* Section seven, could I suggest the word "brushing off the dust" in lieu of "dusting off the dust"? Or maybe "swiping off the dust"? I do love that the kids realize they are just as able as the adults to build. Kids from that time era seemed to be more responsible and have more experience in survival than those in this current time.

*Bootr* I don't really understand why the kids can't turn the outlaws in for a reward. Is it because they're trying to stay hidden from the adults out in the world or do they not know how or who to send to fetch back the law from another town or...? And the reference to the parent's tech...now I'm a bit confused. I had assumed this was historical fiction but now...?? What tech did the parents have that the kids don't? This could open up a big ole can of worms in the story plot. I would love to see that angle wriggle it's way into the story.

*Bootl* Love the twist of the Indian kids joining the town. This could bring all sorts of adventures into the story.

*Bootr* One big thing that stuck out to me was how formally the kids spoke. They all sounded the same. I would have loved to "hear" some differences in voice. A boy with a lisp or a gal that says "yer" instead of "your", etc. I also was hoping to "see" more of the scene. What's around them? Does the quilt the kids huddle under while sitting in front of the fire feel itchy? I want to smell the smoke that's wafting from the campfire into the kids' faces. I want to hear the horses stamping and neighing.

*Bootl* This story has left me wondering what those kids are doing. I want to jump into that world and watch as they learn and grow and love and betray each other. This truly was a great idea and with some fleshing out, I could see it as a successful YA book.

Review of Truth  
Review by Genipher
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (2.5)
This is a good start for a high schooler. I've always enjoyed reading essays/articles from others and seeing how they "persuade" or explain.

I have a few thoughts. Hopefully you find them helpful:

You can expand this article/essay by including more information such as, what holy books are you speaking of? As a Christian my first thought went to the Bible but I can't remember an instance where it was said that "truth" would be lost by the end of this era. However, it is speculated in Luke 18:8 that when the Son of Man returns, faith might not be found any longer. At any rate, clarification at the beginning can help those with preconceived notions. *Wink*

You say "humanity has already ended". This would be a great place to explain further and provide links proving this statement. When I look up the word "humanity", for example, it means, "the human race; human beings collectively". And it's fairly obvious that the human race is still thriving. Again, clarification on what you mean here can be helpful to persuade others of your opinion and reduce confusion. How has humanity ended?

"Everyone is talking false." This is a pretty absolute statement. Everyone? Really? *Eyesleft*
"Truth is bitter but is the way to salvation and heaven."
These two statements above seem to contradict each other. How can one obtain salvation through truth if everybody is speaking false?
Does this mean, in your opinion, that there is no hope for salvation for anyone?

I have heard honesty is the best policy but I've never heard truth is the best policy. Here, you could use the better known saying about honesty and then explain further how it is potentially lacking in fullness.

All-in-all, there is great potential here for expansion and clarification. Provide research links to back up your claims and don't be afraid to quote the holy books that you are using. *Bigsmile*

Oh, and



to WDC!

This was an amazing story. Gave the feel of Frank Peretti's books: This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness. I think we often forget there is a spiritual war literally going on around us.

A few notes:
The title has to be "A Dream Come True", or you'll be disqualified at the Writer's Cramp.

Also, the bolded line, "this must be a parallel universe" has to be the last line of the story or, again, Writer's Cramp will disqualify you.

Your first paragraph you write, "all would acknowledge his rain" it should be "reign".

I like you you use the Bible as inspiration for many of your stories.
Good luck at the Cramp!

I think the answer to the question "According to the Bible, what happens to the soul when a person dies?" may have been inputted incorrectly. The answer says "it dies" but the Bible doesn't say the soul dies when our body does.

Hebrews 9:27 - And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Matthew 10:28 - And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Daniel 12:2 - And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

Ecclesiastes 12:7 - Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

According to the Bible, the answer should be "it awaits judgment".

Just thought I'd let you know in case there was a slip of the finger when setting up the quiz. *Smile*

All those poor unfortunate souls to defeat! I love how the reader dives straight into the drama and adventure. I could see you stretching this out into a longer series. It certainly is an interesting concept!

Nitpicking a teeny bit...the f bomb almost threw me off. I know it makes the character more "real", however you'll be able to draw in younger readers if you craft the language differently.

I would love to read a sequel to this and find out if Ursula triumphs over all!

This review is for I Write.

I had to look up "rutilant" and I think I've fallen in love with the word. You have painted a beautiful picture, one that can be easily seen in the minds-eye. I want to jump into the scene and walk through the field of sunflowers (well, as long as there aren't any spiders...my brother used to grow sunflowers and we'd get the biggest, ugliest spiders hanging out on them *Spider*)

I thought, at first, that you meant Grandmother's Oak but quickly caught on that the Oak is being likened to a spirit/being given a human attribute. Fitting that she would be a grandmother. I can just picture the tree as such, taking care of whatever critters cross her path.

I can see why you won (er, tied)! This was very well done.

Okay, I absolutely loved this short entry. In my opinion, it is an AWESOME prompt for a story. There are so many ways a story could travel with a prompt like this. It would be a fun one to write — make so many people wiggle and squirm! *Laugh*

As an aside, it's sad that comments like the one in your prompt are becoming the norm. Old fashioned values are snubbed. Reminds me of Isaiah 5:20: Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
All the old, wholesome values are viewed as evil and the immoral junk has been lifted onto a pedestal to be worshiped. sigh.

My only suggestion would be to capitalize the word "You" and I think the second comma (the one after "her"), isn't necessary. I may be wrong, but that second comma should be a period...*Think*

Now I wonder, are the prompts at the Prompt Me Contest free to use or are they copyright protected? Also, have you thought of writing a story using your own prompt? I can see writing something that really clashes with the PC-ness of this day and age!

Anywho, loved it! Hope you win the current round at Prompt Me!

Ah, snow is such a magical element. We used to live in an area that would, on occasion, snow. The kids loved it. Now we live near the coast and we don't get snow. *Sad*

I love how you see the flurries of "snow" in the feathers of the birds. I had to look up the word "scoggins" as I had never heard of it before. A jester, eh? Learned something new today! I don't understand what the "machine made in white in Golden Gate" is, though.

The snow globe at the end of this poem made for a perfect ending. I can see why you won first place at bobturn's contest!

Great use of the prompt word. No spelling or punctuation errors.

My first thought when reading this poem was about the caravan of folks hoping to flood into the U.S. Will our country be "forced to cede control" to the illegal immigrants or will we hold fast to immigration law?

This poem can have a myriad of meanings. It really makes one think.

This review is for I Write

This poem gives a strong sense of patriotic emotion. I don't know many who have served for our country, but this piece is a good reminder that there are those out there that fight for our freedoms and that many that return are never the same, whether mentally or physically.

Great job using the prompt words. No spelling or punctuation errors that I could see.

One idea I had...if you somehow format the lines so that they fade from red, to white, to blue, it would look pretty cool. Though I'm not sure how the white would stand out. Maybe highlight the whole piece? Or, perhaps, color the bolded words red and blue? Just a silly, fun thought.

I think this poem would be a good one to share again on Veteran's Day. I wonder, even, if it could be published in the newspaper on that day?

Beautiful job!

Aw, upsetjosiah! How can I read on when you don't have anything else to read about this amazing character you created? Granted, you just posted this alluring tidbit yesterday but it's such a fascinating idea that I impatiently want more! Most people, when they create a character that lives forever, tend to make them vampires. I like the take you have, that Josh lives so long because of his scientist father. I'm curious, though. Why didn't Josh's father take the potion as well?

I was wondering, is this story going to be told in a Dear Diary sort of way? If so, telling the story is just fine. If not, I would suggest showing more. Don't give us readers all the information at once. It can be too hard to digest. Instead, let us learn who Josh is and why he's so old through the events and actions of the story. Let it unfold naturally.

I have so many questions about this future you've created!

*Questiony* How is it that everyone has their own mansion and servants? Is it a socialistic society? Except, there are servants...hmmmm. *Confused* Do the servants have their own mansions?

*Questiono* Does everyone have the ability to live forever, or just Josh?

*Questionb* If Josh is the only one that lives forever, do other people know? Do they ever wonder why this apparent 13-year-old kid never grows up? Is he at risk from the government to be tested on so the secrets of his youth can be extracted and sold/given to others?

*Questiong* Can Josh be killed via accident or is he completely invincible?

*Questionp* Since every non-living thing is made of gold, when the sun shines, does it blind people since it's reflecting off all that precious metal? Are there any diamonds or emeralds? That would be such a pretty city!

*Questionr* Where did the plants go? What happened to the world that only Texas is left? How many people are left to live on the land?

*Questiono* If there aren't plants, how do animals or people get food?

*Questionbr* Do the oceans still exist? If so, do some people live on boats on the water?

*Questiony* Why were super heroes created? Is there a lot of crime in future-TX?

Whew! My mind is racing! I can't wait to see how Josh's adventures play out. I'll be keeping tabs, now that you've lured me in.

See ya around! Oh, and don't forget to fill out your bio/bio block so all of us here at WDC can get to know you a bit better!
