Review of Huh  
Review by hullabaloo22

Rated: E | (5.0)
This was certainly a surreal piece of flash fiction. Great descriptions of the confusion and disorientation, and I've got to admit that I really loved that final paragraph. I think the strength of this is that you didn't go into explanations but left the reader to come up with their own ideas about what actually happened.

I'm so glad that I came across this poem! I have quite a collection of tarot cards, and although I don't use them for readings I loved the way you incorporated one into this. A lovely presentation, with the introduction and then the three card interpretations.
A very impressive piece!

This poem does a great job of showing the damage not appreciating what you have until it's gone can do. You do a great job of showing how haunting the memories can be, and how lonely a life alone can get. The night might bring a sense of loss, but going by the final verse, all hope has not been lost.

This is a piece of poetry with which I can very much relate. Sometimes it really is hard to find any point in anything, and self-confidence is literally through the floor. The first line of the final verse says it all so well, as does the third line in the same verse.
Excellent writing.

What a fascinating group of characters you have come up with here, both good and bad. A great way to give some insight into what makes each of them tick. I really liked the idea of the Neko race, being a hybrid of human and cat; good job in giving them the feline mood-swings.
Very nice presentation.

Haha! This is just the kind of children's story I really like. I was really glad you shortened the name for the full one really was a bit of a mouthful. I noticed a nod towards LOTR with the orcs and goblins putting the trolls in the lead. Great idea of showing the logic for that, with the not turning round.
Perfect spelling, grammar and pacing!

Review of Just a Walk

Haha! I love the idea of having twenty-six cats, although not all kept indoors. Emily clearly liked the thought of having her freedom, but Hector seemed to out-think her. I had the idea that he was either her carer, or possibly her grandson. Anyway, it made for an enjoyable read!

Review of Mystical Meeting  
Review by hullabaloo22
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
I really enjoyed this. I think the best thing about it was the increase in tension brought about by everybody scrutinizing each other, looking for signs of a lack of danger. I could really imagine a room full of paranoia, but as you got further into the tale I wondered whether it was just Magnus that really felt that way for the other guests seemed to be in on the act.

Review of Hell On Earth

Rated: 18+ | (5.0)
Wow! This was an action-packed, but very harsh story. There is something so effective about the idea of the oceans turning red and the moon turning black. Definitely a grim landscape. The dialog between Mark and Jim was natural and convincing, and told a lot about what the world had become.

This was a lovely read, gentle as the woods, but as potentially treacherous too. I loved the glimpses you gave into your characters; I got the real impression that Boroden really loves to help, and that Aira likes to be capable and independent. The little glimpse you gave of the oak people was quite magical.

Review of Autumn

Rated: E | (5.0)
A lovely poem that incorporates so many different things about autumn. It certainly is not so easy to get up when it starts to stay darker longer, not to mention the extra chill. Autumn is my favorite time of year though, partly for the reason that you put in that last line.

Review of A moment in Time

Rated: E | (5.0)
This is a short piece that says so much. I liked the way in the second paragraph you showed how we can really become our own worst enemies because of that 'inner dialog' tapping away at confidence. There are so many emotions in this; at the beginning it seems almost positive in a motivational way, giving that ending an added shock.

A very clever way to provide a shock with the ending. The game of hide-and-seek did seem such innocent fun until you began to Let Oliver and Caroline fill in some of the background. A good moment when Ryan came home with the groceries, before you delivered the shock.

Haha! I could really picture the tension between the players as those marbles rolled with so much dependent on their accuracy. I remember using a similar prompt and I found it really hard to come up with something. I really like the idea of a childhood game becoming so serious.

This is excellent! I like how you picked out the prompt words in green - very effective. There was definitely an underlying feeling of horror in this, at least to me, especially in the first three verses. Excellent rhythm and the rhyming was spot on too.

Review of Listening in Vain

This is a very moving short piece of poetry. Somebody lost, someone whose voice was very much cherished and is sorely missed. Memory can help to bring back the notes but sometimes it doesn't seem to do a good enough job.
An excellent use of the prompt word.

Nicely done, and I've got to admit that it sounds honest. Personally, I think there are a lot of people out there that like at least some horror fiction all year round, and I'm one of them.

Review of Faster

I really think this is a great piece of writing. The momentum of modern life with it's focus on keeping going. Not many take the opportunity to pause and take a good look around themselves. Loved the image of memories being dropped like leaves.
Just one thing: 'I Buy them...' doesn't need a capital 'b'.

This is a poem that expresses so much that is true. How hard it becomes to measure up to everyone else's expectations, and in the effort of doing so, lose all trace of oneself. I'd love to see differences being accepted, but as a life-ling misfit see no sign of that happening.
I guess the trick is to be happy with yourself, and let others think what they will.

I found this piece quite interesting to read. I think anyone who writes with the sole intent of making money is in for a big disappointment, at least unless they are a celebrity or are otherwise well-known. As you say, the best reason for writing is for the joy of the process.

Some really gorgeous descriptive lines in this, especially at the start. All those colors made for a very vivid picture. Very much focused on different aspects of nature, you did a great job of bringing it all to life - especially the mountains and rocks.

I really enjoyed this poem. So many of the different elements that make up Halloween or any other scary scene, nicely put together. I could actually imagine this as accompanying pictures for a kid's book because the rhythm and rhyme was simple but very effective.

This is a poem that seems to reflect the instability of the world right now. Those who have the biggest 'clout' are certainly the ones that are calling the shots. I might be interpreting this entirely wrong, but I think the poem is about the increase of inequalities.
The rhyming and rhythm is spot on.

I don't often read fan fiction but I really enjoyed this piece. I liked the way you presented it as acts rather than chapters - somehow that seems more fitting. I also liked the inclusion of the comic book store, and the bad luck brought by the Black Cat.
Very well-written and nicely paced.

Ha! I'd love to see you take this idea a bit further. Funnily enough, I was thinking about what else could make this year worse, deciding on a World War with so many tensions running high, but an alien invasion would do it too.
Really convincing dialogue, very nicely paced.
