*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon! *BalloonR*


Overall impression: This story breaks most of the rules of writing, but that is okay in that it conveys a sense of terror. Repetition is used to convey urgency, passage of time, terror, horror, and other ideas.

Characterization: An account of a small girl who looks to escape. A narrator who is not identified tells the story and asks the girl questions.

*BalloonR* Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon! *BalloonR*


Overall impression: An introduction to the bad guys that is continued in a longer story. The style is easy to read.

Characterization: Character names. Name choices can make or break a story. I think that Gwag is different but ok because it is pronouncable. Hudol is ok as well, but Ddrwg is very hard to pronounce. The account is given by a narrator who knows Gwag's thoughts. I suggest to have Gwag tell the story. It makes it more personal and scary as well.

The characters interactions are good.

Dialogue: I like the dialogue. It advances the story.

Overall impression: I enjoyed this story. The plot is well paced and builds to an explosive end. The style is easy to read.

Characterization: A girl - silent whisper - tells the story in first person. Her account is interesting and brings the reader into the action.

Dialogue: The dialogue is good and advances the story. The only part where the dialogue feels unnatural is the section that begins: "Actually, yes," I said, - It seems to me action would be better than words.
