Plot and Content: I found this item with the random reviewing feature. I enjoyed this, I like reading about the family history of different people. I like how your Mom went from rags to riches. Kentucky seems like a nice area, even if you're poor; Jennifer Lawrence is from there.

Errors/Suggestions: I didn't spot any technical errors of any kind.

What I liked: I like the way you colored your font and bolded it, and I like the overall theme that life can and does get better.

Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
** Image ID #1536286 Unavailable **

Plot and Content: I found this item with the random story feature. This was a really well put together poem that followed a prompt that told you to write about wisdom. I like the elusive quality you gave wisdom, that is something I can relate to personally. I'm 42 and I still don't think I'm wise.

Errors/Suggestions: I didn't encounter any technical errors of any kind.

What I liked: I like the message behind this poem, wisdom is difficult to obtain.

** Image ID #1536286 Unavailable **

Plot and Content: I found this item with the random story feature. It's interesting that you chose to dwell on three main concepts in this poem: college, work, and romance. I'm in college now, so I can relate to that part, and the section about working seems realistic, from what I know about it.

Errors/Suggestions: I didn't spot any technical errors of any kind.

What I liked: I like how you broke three subjects down and wrote about them in poem form.

Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
** Image ID #1536286 Unavailable **

Plot and Content: I found this item with the random story feature. Your story was realistic and the characters seemed to be alive. I thought "Lobo" was a unique and creative name for a fictional town. You managed to create suspense throughout the story up until the very end, I enjoyed reading this story.

Errors/Suggestions: You misspelled "delapadated" in the first paragraph. I think it is spelled "dilapidated"

What I liked: I anticipated a tragic ending, but wanted a happy ending, and I was pleasantly surprised. You did a good job of establishing drama.

** Image ID #1536286 Unavailable **

Plot and Content: I found this item with the random story feature. The theme of lost youth was interesting to me, you were lamenting your lost childhood but still had hope for the future. I felt you achieved a delicate balance of yearning for the past while still anticipating a good future.

Errors/Suggestions: I didn't spot any technical errors of any kind.

What I liked: I like how the first letter of each line spells out "Lost and never found" that was creative!

** Image ID #1536286 Unavailable **

Errors/Suggestions: I didn't spot any technical errors of any kind, good job!

What I liked: I like the twist/surprise ending, I didn't see that coming.

Rated: E | (5.0)
** Image ID #1536286 Unavailable **

Plot and Content: I found this item with the random story feature. This is a very extensive list, I hope you were successful in following through on at least some or most of these resolutions. I have creative resolutions every new year also, but mine involve drawing at least one drawing a day. So far, it's March 11th and I've succeeded in my goal. Last year and the year before I didn't even make it to February.

Errors/Suggestions: I found no technical errors of any kind, but as a suggestion, I think it would be interesting if you provided an update at the bottom of the page to let readers know how you did on following through with your resolutions.

What I liked: I like how these resolutions encompass a wide variety of goals, creative goals and staying in physical shape with exercise, and cleaning the basement.

** Image ID #1536286 Unavailable **

Plot and Content: I found this item with the random story feature, I can relate to this a little bit because I am much heavier than I was at 22, and I look different now and I would love to go back to looking like I did when I was younger. I think that's a universal desire.

Errors/Suggestions: I didn't spot any technical errors of any kind.

What I liked: I liked how I could relate to wanting to look younger, if I lost some weight I could go back to looking pretty good, despite some gray hairs.

** Image ID #1536286 Unavailable **

Plot and Content: I found this item with the random story feature. This was a macabre story, but it was written in good taste. Suicide is a controversial topic, but you handled it well.

Errors/Suggestions: I didn't spot any technical errors of any kind.

What I liked: I like how maturely you handled such a controversial topic. I like how you described such happy emotions in spite of writing about something so sad.

Errors/Suggestions: I didn't spot any technical errors of any kind.

What I liked: I thought it was cute that you kept referring to your self as "Me," that was a nice touch.

** Image ID #1536286 Unavailable **

Plot and Content: I found this item with the random story feature. This was a way out poem, it was very surreal, and I enjoyed it. I can relate to wanting to get away from my daily life and escape to a fantasy world where all my problems are gone.

Errors/Suggestions: I didn't spot any technical errors of any kind.

What I liked: I liked how you put this poem together, without considering that the atmosphere of Venus is hot enough to melt lead, you developed this mythical place where all of your problems are solved and made it seem habitable and nice.

** Image ID #1536286 Unavailable **

Plot and Content: I found this poem with the random story feature. This was an interesting poem based on a prompt for a poem contest, you wrote a very brief poem but you were able to convey so much with so few words.

Errors/Suggestions: I didn't spot any technical errors of any kind.

Plot and Content: I found this poem with the random story feature. I enjoyed it, you pieced it together nicely. I enjoyed the subject of this poem, relationships are always interesting to read about in a poem.

Errors/Suggestions: I didn't spot any technical errors of any kind, but as a suggestion, you mentioned that the poem is a quinzaine in the description, maybe at the bottom of the page you could briefly describe a little more about quinzaine form.

What I liked: I liked the positive aspects of a relationship that you touched on in this poem. I also liked the blue and red coloring of the letters.

Review of The Stranger  
Review by Riverd0g
In affiliation with SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP  
Rated: 13+ | (2.5)
** Image ID #1536286 Unavailable **

Plot and Content: I found this item with the random story feature, I was a little confused about this story. You have time travel without explaining how it is happening, you have the Angel of Death, and you have a man who was chosen to die by the Angel of death, but he is still alive. I don't know if you're trying to write a story with as few words as possible, but I think you need to go through and explain some of the issues I've brought up. It doesn't make sense that the angel of death took the protagonist and not his fiancee if he is still alive to talk about it. And you don't bother to explain why he was chosen over her.

Errors/Suggestions: I found a mistake: Ops! I saw my name carved on the silver blade of the dagger. "Oops" should have two o's in it, you have only one.

What I liked: I liked the science fiction element, but I was confused by everything else.

** Image ID #1536286 Unavailable **

Plot and Content: I found this item with the random story feature, after reading the story and seeing the three prompts that inspired this story, I think you have a vivid imagination and a talent for writing. I enjoyed the fantasy element of the fountain of youth, and the story itself was interesting.

Errors/Suggestions: I didn't spot any technical errors of any kind.

What I liked: I liked how you came up with a complex story inspired by three simple prompt words, I loved it! I don't think I would've came up with as imaginative a story with those same three words as you did with this short story.

Plot and Content: I used the random story feature to find this item, I was expecting some kind of miraculous element in a story like this, but I wasn't disappointed with the results. I like how this is a story that could occur in the real world, and I liked the happy ending.

Errors/Suggestions: I didn't spot any technical errors of any kind.

What I liked: I really liked the happy ending, and I'm glad the story was in a real world setting, it was really believable. My dad was in the Marines, so I like seeing the Marines portrayed in a positive light.

** Image ID #1536286 Unavailable **

Plot and Content: I found this item with the random story feature. I don't usually "get" most poetry, but I was able to catch the meaning of this poem; it seems to be about a beautiful day either in the summer or spring time, am I right? The waves suggested a paradise like Hawaii or some other tropical location. If I didn't completely get it, I still thought it was a beautiful poem.

Errors/Suggestions: I didn't find any technical errors of any kind.

What I liked: I like how you took the time to explain what kind of poem this is, to those of us who may not know that much about poetry. Thank you for enlightening me!

Plot and Content: I found this item with the dice feature. This was a nice poem with an interesting theme, I've never heard of the concept that if you worry about something enough, it goes away. I found that interesting.

Errors/Suggestions: I didn't find any technical errors of any kind.

What I liked: I enjoyed the theme of this poem, that if you worry about something enough, it goes away.

** Image ID #1536286 Unavailable **

Plot and Content: This poem was very dramatic, and you came up with an interesting situation based on scripture from Revelations. This seemed like the beginning of a horror story of some kind, you did a good job packing so much drama into such a short poem.

Errors/Suggestions: I didn't spot any technical errors of any kind, good job!

What I liked: I like the way you included the quote from Revelations that inspired this poem, otherwise I would have never known the meaning behind this poem.

Plot and Content: I like this homage to the watermelon, you did a good job of stirring up my taste buds, as I read this my mouth started to water and I could visualize the fruit you were describing. This poem made me feel like it was summer again!

Errors/Suggestions: I didn't spot any technical errors of any kind.

What I liked: I like the lengths you went to in order to properly show the respect to watermelon that it deserves. I enjoy it in the summertime.

** Image ID #1536286 Unavailable **

Plot and Content: I like the way you were able to tell a cohesive story in poem form. Most poems are difficult for me to interpret, but yours was easier for me to understand. You must be a very experienced bowler to know so much about it, I haven't bowled in about a year and a half. The conflict presented by learning a new style of bowling technique presented some interested drama, I like how people reacted to it, that was realistic and an accurate reflection of human nature. I hope you mastered your new technique!

Errors/Suggestions: I didn't spot any technical errors of any kind.

What I liked: I liked the lifestyle this poem indicates that you lead, having a hobby like bowling is all American and interesting!

Review of "Gasp!"

** Image ID #1536286 Unavailable **

Plot and Content: I enjoyed this homey and down to earth story, the characters were lifelike and interesting. It seems like you could make a series with these characters. I like the drama with the alligator, glad the situation got under control. The characters were very realistic.

Errors/Suggestions: I spotted this error: I usually stored my new friends in a pillow cases I always kept handy. I think the "a" should be omitted, because "cases" is plural.

What I liked: I liked the down home feel of the location and the characters in this story.
