Review of Summer's Gone

Review by PureSciFi

Rated: E

| (4.0)

Hello ~Sue~,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your tenth year with us.

Overall Impression: I think you did a very good job with this poem. Once I started reading it I couldn't stop until I finished it.

The Poem Itself: What I liked best about this poem is how each paragraph ended. A lot of reviewers would consider that repeating yourself too much. But I'm not one of them.

How It Make Me Feel: It makes me feel sad. After all, Summer is gone.

Any Last Thoughts: I don't know anything about this style of Poetry. Can you tell me what kind of style that this is? Yes, I know I can look it up myself. But I'm at work right now. And that's hard for me to do.

If you're interested in reviewing any of my work you will find my Short Stories, Blogs, etc. in my PureSciFi portfolio. I have some in my PureSciFiPlus portfolio too.

Thank you for sharing this Poetry with WDC. And sharing it especially with me. Keep on writing great poems like this one.

Hello Leia Drakkensdatter,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your ninth year with us.

Overall Impression: What I liked the best about this poem is that it didn't rhyme. That's because it's the kind of poem I might write.

The Poem Itself: It reads like you used our five senses in the first five paragraphs of this story. Is that what you did?

How It Makes Me Feel: The last line didn't make any sense to me. In fact, the last paragraph didn't. That's why I'm so confused about this poem. Don't get me wrong. All this might read like I didn't like it. But I did, a lot. It was just a little confusing to me. Especially these last two lines of it.

Any Last Thoughts: I'm not sure what this poem has to do with Summer. I know it was mentioned at the beginning. But other than that I don't know.

If you're interested in reviewing any of my work you will find my Short Stories, Blogs, etc. in my PureSciFi portfolio. I have some in my PureSciFiPlus portfolio too.

Thank you for sharing this Poetry with WDC. And sharing it especially with me. Keep on writing great poems like this one.

Hello Dustin,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your eleventh year with us.

Overall Impression: This really wasn't a story about Summer. But I still liked it a lot.

The Story Itself: It was classified as a Short Story. But it reads more like a documentary or essay type story. I'm not a big fan of documentaries. Essays aren't too bad. But documentaries, no. Especially when it comes to television and movies.

Location, Location, Location: I live in Central Kansas. And I think I have heard of Summersville. But I don't know where it's at. Is it anywhere near Lawrence, KS? I liked that you did tell me about it, though. It's something that I didn't know existed until you told me about it. Thanks for doing that.

Any Last Thoughts: Don't get me wrong. This may read like I didn't like your story. But I did. I think you did a great job with it.

If you're interested in reviewing any of my work you will find my Short Stories, Blogs, etc. in my PureSciFi portfolio. I have some in my PureSciFiPlus portfolio too.

Thank you for sharing this story with WDC. And sharing it especially with me. Keep on writing great stories like this one.

Review of The Shortest Summer Ever

Review by PureSciFi

In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group

Rated: E

| (3.0)

Hello Greek,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your seventh year with us.

Overall Impression: A very interesting story. And I liked it a lot. But it read more like an essay for "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" than a short story.

The Story Itself: It reads like Molly had a great Summer. She and her family had a great time. Even when some of them got turned around and got lost going in the wrong direction.

Location, Location, Location: There were several locations in this story. And I think that you did a great job in describing them.

Your Characters: Molly was the main character in this story. But her sister, Quinn, was also mentioned. I liked that you gave your characters a name. A lot of writers don’t do that. Personally, I try to give all my characters a name. Especially, the main ones. I think that it makes them feel more real if they have a name.

Grammar, Spelling, Missing Words: I'm not sure. But I think that you made a mistake in grammar with that part right after mentioning it was Molly's thirteenth birthday. At least it was a little bit confusing to me. You might want to look into that.

Any Last Thoughts: The only thing I would have done differently was separate the paragraphs by a Space. I think it just makes it easier to read if it is. But that's just the way I like to write my stories.

If you're interested in reviewing any of my work you will find my Short Stories, Blogs, etc. in my PureSciFi portfolio. I have some in my PureSciFiPlus portfolio too.

Thank you for sharing this story with WDC. And sharing it especially with me. Keep on writing great stories like this one.

Hello Colleen Brogan,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your tenth year with us.

Overall Impression: I liked this story a whole lot. Only I'm not sure what it has to do with Summer. It's mentioned in the Title Description. But not in the story itself. Is it because they live on a beach?

The Story Itself: Personally, I would have classified this as a Horror/Scary story instead of a Supernatural one. I probably would have done both. But Horror/Scary would have come first. That's because it was more scary than Supernatural. At least it was to me.

Your Characters: The one thing I would have done differently was given them names. I'm a big fan of giving characters a name. Personally, I try to give all my characters a name. Especially, the main ones. I think that it makes them feel more real if they have a name.

Grammar, Spelling, Missing Words: It looks like you made one spelling error in this story. Shouldn't it 'of' instead of the second 'over.'

Any Last Thoughts: What I liked the best about this story was how it almost ended. It read like they have had a dead body in their house all that time. And they learned to live with it. Am I right about that?

If you're interested in reviewing any of my work you will find my Short Stories, Blogs, etc. in my PureSciFi portfolio. I have some in my PureSciFiPlus portfolio too.

Review of The summer of 1994

Review by PureSciFi

Rated: ASR

| (3.5)

Hello Matty,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your seventh year with us.

Overall Impression: This was definitely a very romantic love story. And I liked it a whole lot.

The Story Itself: What I liked the most about this story is that it was a truly romantic one. Stories like this can very easily become erotica. But you didn't do that with this one. True, some of that reason was that of who Nana was telling this story to but I don't think that's the real reason why you did it.

Your Characters: Nana is the only name mentioned in this story. But it's not really her name, is it? It's a slang term that children often use for grandmother. Personally, I try to give all my characters a name. Especially, the main ones. I think that it makes them feel more real if they have a name.

Grammar, Spelling, Missing Words: It looks like you made a couple of spelling errors in this story. 'Men' instead of 'man' and 'locked' instead of 'locket.'

Any Last Thoughts: Overall, I think you did a great job with this story. In fact, if you have any more stories like this one I would definitely like to read them too if I could.

If you're interested in reviewing any of my work you will find my Short Stories, Blogs, etc. in my PureSciFi portfolio. I have some in my PureSciFiPlus portfolio too.

Review of Summer Night Dream

Hello DayDream,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your tenth year with us.

Overall Impression: You did a very good job with this story. I liked it from beginning to end very much.

The Story Itself: It was a simple story about a female remembering a past encounter during a hot Summer night. But I like simple stories.

Your Characters: About the only thing I would have done differently with this story is given this female, the male too, a name. Personally, I try to give all my characters a name. Especially, the main ones. I think that it makes them feel more real if they have a name.

Any Last Thoughts: The only real problem I had with this excellent story was the spacing in-between paragraphs. Personally, I would have Spaced between them. But that's just the way that I like to write my stories. I think it's easier to read if they are Spaced.

If you're interested in reviewing any of my work you will find my Short Stories, Blogs, etc. in my PureSciFi portfolio. I have some in my PureSciFiPlus portfolio too.

Thank you for sharing this story with WDC. And sharing it especially with me. Keep on writing great stories like this one.

Hello Drakana Wind,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your ninth year with us.

Overall Impression: This was a very good poem. I liked it a whole lot.

The Poem Itself: What I liked the most about it was how each paragraph, set of sentences, ended. I also liked that it didn't rhyme. Don't get me wrong. Yes, I do like rhyming poems. But I like the un-rhyming ones better.

How It Make Me Feel: I felt happy after reading this poem. And I needed a little bit of happiness today. It's been one of those days.

Any Last Thoughts: You did a great job with this poem. At least I think that you did. Do you have any more poems like it.

If you're interested in reviewing any of my work you will find my Short Stories, Blogs, etc. in my PureSciFi portfolio. I have some in my PureSciFiPlus portfolio too.

Hello normajean,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your twelfth year with us.

Overall Impression: This was a very well written story. And I liked it a whole lot.

The Story Itself: What I liked the best about this story was how it ended. I'm a big fan of twist at the end of a story. But when you can make me smile and laugh it's even better.

Your Characters: The only thing I would have done differently with this story is given them names. Personally, I try to give all my characters a name. Especially, the main ones. I think that it makes them feel more real if they have a name.

How They Spoke: There wasn't a lot of dialogue in this story. What dialogue there was looked good to me. the only thing I would have done differently was not starting two sentences with the same word. But that's just the way I like to write my stories.

Grammar, Spelling, Missing Words: It looks like you made an error in Tense in this story. Shouldn't it be 'were' instead 'are?' You might want to look into that.

Any Last Thoughts: I think you did a great job with this story. Do you have any more stories like this one? If so, and they are as good or better than this one I would definitely like to read them too if I can.

If you're interested in reviewing any of my work you will find my Short Stories, Blogs, etc. in my PureSciFi portfolio. I have some in my PureSciFiPlus portfolio too.

** Image ID #2111179 Unavailable **

Hello bananafish,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your tenth year with us.

Overall Impression: This was a fantastic poem. One of the best, if not the best, ones I have ever read.

The Poem Itself: There are a lot of individuals who have had this happen to them. Maybe not this way, but something similar. Unfortunately, it happens a lot because of all the estranged

How It Make Me Feel: I felt existed for this individual. but I also felt sad for them. I'm sorry it turned out not to be his father.

Grammar, Spelling, Missing Words: The only thing that might be an error in grammar with this poem is with starting your lines with capitalization. But from what I read it more a sentence break error to me. What I mean is you ended some of your sentences wrong. At least that's what I think that you did. You might want to check into that.

Any Last Thoughts: It's kind of the opposite with me and my ex-father. It didn't bother me that he wasn't part of my life after he left me and my mother. I never wanted to find him. And to his dying day, and beyond, I didn't want to see him. He never wanted me, and I never wanted him.

Hello bordoichila,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your fifth year with us.

Overall Impression: What was this poem about? I know that from the Title Description that it's about 'the miseries of the world.' But I'm not sure what that means. It didn't read like that to me in this poem.

The Poem Itself: Don't get me wrong. I liked this poem a lot. I'm just a little bit confused about what's it about.

How It Make Me Feel: I felt existed after reading this poem. Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop. Not too many poems, or stories, can do that for me. but this one did.

Grammar, Spelling, Missing Words: Overall, I think you did really good in writing this poem. But I did notice that there was a few errors in capitalization, one of them in particular. You might want to checked into that.

Any Last Thoughts: Yes, I know what I have wrote makes it read like I didn't like you poem. But I did. I think you did a great job with this poem.

Hello Poetry Emotion,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your tenth year with us.

Overall Impression: Since the first line isn't part of the poem itself, I don't think that it should be centered like the rest of it. Other than that I think you did a great job with this poem. I liked it a whole lot.

The Poem Itself: What I like best about this poem is that it was centered. I think that a poem is easier to read and understand if it's centred.

How It Make Me Feel: I felt for the one who died. It was never mentioned that that's what happened. But from the way I read it that's what did happen. Am I wrong about that?

Any Last Thoughts: Personally, I wouldn't have started each section of with the same word or in this poem the same phrase. But that's just the way that I like to write. Whether it's a sentence or a paragraph there has to be at least two sentences or paragraphs before I use a word again.

If you're interested in reviewing any of my work you will find my Short Stories, Blogs, etc. in my PureSciFi portfolio. I have some in my PureSciFiPlus portfolio too.

Thank you for sharing this Poetry with WDC. And sharing it especially with me. Keep on writing great poems like this one.

Hello writerchuck,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your seventh year with us.

Overall Impression: This was a well-written poem. I like it very, very much.

The Poem Itself: Losing a mother is never an easy thing to deal with. But to lose her like this is ever harder.

How It Make Me Feel: I felt sorry for the mother in this story. Hope her end comes quickly and painlessly.

Grammar, Spelling, Missing Words: I'm not sure. But I think the first word on each line is supposed to capitalize. You did that with most of it, but there were a couple of lines you didn't. You might want to look into the grammar rule on capitalization.

Any Last Thoughts: This poem hit home for me. I lost my mother twenty years ago. And she died peacefully. So, did my ex-father. But he only died at the end of last year from dementia.

Hello artistlee,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your tenth year with us.

Overall Impression: I liked this poem a lot. What I liked the best about it was that we all have to deal with our memories whether we like them or not.

The Poem Itself: We all have memories that we have lost. And a lot that we wish we could lose. But we all have them. The real trick is finding them again. Usually, they are lost forever. But sometimes they can be found. all you can do is try to find them.

How It Make Me Feel: It made me feel sad. I felt sorry for the individual in this poem.

Any Last Thoughts: A lot of repetition in this poem. But other than that, it was a great read. I'm glad that I got the chance to read it.

If you're interested in reviewing any of my work you will find my Short Stories, Blogs, etc. in my PureSciFi portfolio. I have some in my PureSciFiPlus portfolio too.

** Image ID #2111179 Unavailable **

Hello Kåre Enga writing poetry ,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your twelfth year with us.

Overall Impression: At first I didn't know what you were trying to write about. I thought that Redbuds were a kind of bird. Even though I had never heard of a bird like that. The reason why I thought it was a bird is because of the singing. But I was wrong about that.

The Poem Itself: This poem was a little bit hard for me to read. I had to read almost every section two or three times. It was just a little bit too sophisticated to me.

How It Make Me Feel: Don't get me wrong. I liked this poem a lot. I'm glad that I chose this one to read and review.

Grammar, Spelling, Missing Words: I'm not sure. But I think that you are supposed to capitalize the beginning of each line. You did that on one or two of them, but not the others.

Any Last Thoughts: I notice in my search for which poem I was going to review that you have several of them. Is that all you do, Poetry? Do you write anything else besides Poetry?

If you're interested in reviewing any of my work you will find my Short Stories, Blogs, etc. in my PureSciFi portfolio. I have some in my PureSciFiPlus portfolio too.

Thank you for sharing this Poetry with WDC. And sharing it especially with me. Keep on writing great poems like this one.

Review of Demon

** Image ID #2111179 Unavailable **

Hello SilverRose,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your eleventh year with us.

Overall Impression: This was a different kind of a story. Not that it was a bad kind. In fact, it was just the opposite of that. I liked it a whole lot. But it was different. Maybe because it was Fanfiction, and maybe it wasn't.

The Story Itself: This is a story about a male who is a demon. At least that is who he appears to be. It's not until the end of it that you find out he is more than just a demon. But you won't know that unless you read the whole story.

How They Spoke: Some don't consider thinking as dialogue. But I'm not one of them. I do think that it is. It's just a different kind of dialogue. But it's still dialogue.

Grammar, Spelling, Missing Words: I'm not sure if you handled the thinking in this story correctly. But I think that you did. It all depends on what country that you come from. I know there are some countries that do it like this. And you are probably from one of them.

Any Last Thoughts: I think you did a very good job with this story. Have you done any more like it? What about other Fanfiction? Did any other Fanfiction? I'm not a big fan of Fanfiction. But I know what I like. And I liked this story. I'm glad that I read it.

** Image ID #2111179 Unavailable **

Hello dle,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your twelfth year with us.

Overall Impression: Wow, what can I say about this story other than that. I think you did a great job with it.

The Story Itself: From the title it was kind of obvious why she was talking to the sky. But I still had to read it to know for sure if that was true or not. It could have been another Red Herring. By the time that I did I was hooked. And I had to finish it.

Your Characters: Of course, Sarah is the main character in this story. But her old friend is a big part of it too. I liked that you gave your character a name. A lot of writers don’t do that. Personally, I try to give all my characters a name. Especially, the main ones. I think that it makes them feel more real if they have a name.

Any Last Thoughts: Have you written any more stories like this one? If so, and they are as good or better than this one is, I would definitely like to read and review them too.

If you're interested in reviewing any of my work you will find my Short Stories, Blogs, etc. in my PureSciFi portfolio. I have some in my PureSciFiPlus portfolio too.

** Image ID #2111179 Unavailable **

Hello rickyg,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your fourth year with us.

Overall Impression: I'm not sure what to say about this story. Don't get me wrong. I liked it a whole lot. But it was very difficult for me to read it. Not because of the subject matter, but because of how it was written.

The Story Itself: This is a story about a couple named Chuck, or is it Carl, and Cheryl. They are having a discussion about something. It's not until the end of the story that you find out what it is. I like that a lot. A lot, if not most, of my stories, are like that.

Your Characters: Chuck or Carl? You start off with Chuck. But toward the end it was Carl. I liked that you gave your characters a name. A lot of writers don’t do that. Personally, I try to give all my characters a name. Especially, the main ones. I think that it makes them feel more real if they have a name.

How They Spoke: There was a lot of dialogue in this story. But it was misplaced. You had it all in the same paragraphs. I think they should be separate paragraphs. When a new person begins to speak they need a new paragraph to do it. At least I think that they do.

Grammar, Spelling, Missing Words: I'm not sure where to start. There was a lot of problems with this story. you had a missing word or two and some punctuation problems. But I think the biggest problem you had wasn't your paragraph structure. even though it's a big one too. It's your use of Quotation Marks. They were either misplaced or not needed.

Any Last Thoughts: I think you have the makings for a very good story here. It just needs a lot of fine-tuning.

Hello Abigail Isis,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your eighth year with us.

Overall Impression:

The Story Itself: You made this story about squirrels. But they could have been any animal. Is there a reason why you made them squirrels?

Your Characters: Of course, Chit-Chat and Terra are the main characters in this story. And I liked that you gave your characters a name. A lot of writers don’t do that. Personally, I try to give all my characters a name. Especially, the main ones. I think that it makes them feel more real if they have a name.

How They Spoke: there wasn't any dialogue in this story. but there should have been a lot of it. The way it was written it read like there should have been a lot of dialogue in this story.

Grammar, Spelling, Missing Words: I think I noticed one misspelled word and one sentence structure error. This misspelling was the word 'storage.' And the sentence structure was either 'He asked her for help.' or 'He asked for help from Terra' instead of 'He asked her for help from Terra.'

Any Last Thoughts: You have a very good story here that needs to be written and read. But right now this story is telling instead of showing. It needs to be re-written to show instead of tell.

Hello C Fowler,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your third year with us.

Overall Impression: I liked this story a whole lot. It kept me interested in it from beginning to end.

The Story Itself: I'm not sure who I feel sorrier for in this story. Is it Dr. Cox, the patient or your main character? I say it's the patient. After all, she's is about to die from an appendectomy.

Your Characters: You mentioned Dr. Cox, and I liked that you gave them a name. But you didn't give your main character one. I would have. also, I would have given Dr. Cox a first name. Personally, I try to give all my characters a name. Especially, the main ones. I think that it makes them feel more real if they have a name.

How They Spoke: The dialogue seemed natural. I believe it to be Doctors talking. What I liked best about the dialogue was that you didn't put us down with a lot of technical doctor mumble jumble.

Any Last Thoughts: I noticed that you have several other Fiction stories. If they are as good, if not better, than this one I would be very interested in reading and review some of them too, if I can.

Hello Whitemorn,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your fourth year with us.

Overall Impression: I'm a little bit confused by this story. Not because it read like a poem. But because it didn't make much sense to me. Don't get me wrong. I liked it. But I didn't understand it. Maybe it's just me. After all, it was set in the Shakespearean era.

The Story Itself: Who is this bullied man. And how did he get his revenge. I know that you wrote something about doing it in their sleep. But I'm not sure what that something was. Did I miss it? What was this story about? I would really like to know.

Any Last Thoughts: When I first saw this story I thought that I might like it because of the Action/Adventure genre. I'm a big fan of Action/Adventure. Next to Science Fiction and Mystery, it's my favorite. But I didn't read any Action/Adventure in this story. Did I miss that too?

Hello caylra,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your fourteenth year with us.

Overall Impression: As I read this it read more like a poem than a Fiction story. And I was right. It's a rhyming poem. Don't get me wrong. I like Poetry. And I liked this story a whole lot. But I'm a little curious about why you categorized this as Fiction instead of Poetry?

The Story Itself: I can understand where the Romance/Love and the Emotional comes in with this story. But not the Teen genre. Where are the teens in this story? Is it because of the ending? Are they that young?

Your Characters: [I liked that you gave your character[s] a name. A lot of writers don’t do that.] Personally, I try to give all my characters a name. Especially, the main ones. I think that it makes them feel more real if they have a name.

Any Last Thoughts: What I liked best was how this story ended. Everyone excepted that the three words would be 'I love you," especially since this is a romantic story, but it wasn't. Great job. I love a surprise ending.

Hello Improxablity,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your fourth year with us.

Overall Impression: At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like this story. After all, I'm not a parent. But I'm glad that I did. It liked it very much.

The Story Itself: I don't read a story just because I'm trying to get GPs for reviewing it. That's just the added bonus. The main reason why I read them is that I think I might like them. And when it comes to this one I'm glad that I read it. It's a simple story. But it's one that any parent of a five and seven years old can relate to.

Your Characters: The kids are being typical kids. But the mother I don't think is. Her first thought would we his safety if, and when, he spilled the milk. Then she would scold him for drinking out of the carton.

Any Last Thoughts: What I liked the most about this story was the little boy chugging the milk. And the little girl encouraging him to do it. I also noticed that you have several other Fiction stories. If they are as good, or better, than this one I would like to read them too, if I can.

Hello Kerik/Ed almighty,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your twelfth year with us.

Overall Impression: This is one of the best, if not the best, stories that I have ever read. I loved it from beginning to end. Not because it was Science Fiction, even though that was a plus, but because of how it was written. And what it was about. True, I will read almost anything that's Science fiction. But that's not the only reason why I read a story. I read what I think that I will like. And I very glad that I did with this one.

The Story Itself: What I liked the most about this story was the comedy aspects of it. There are other Alien races in the universe that have shows like 'Survivor.' So, it's not all that unbelievable that one might observe ours. But there aren't any races observing us right now that do. I also don't think any of the ones that do have shows like ours gets eaten. There several that when they say you have been eliminated from this competition they mean that literally. In other words, they are eliminated.

Your Characters: You gave Dartak a name. And I liked that you gave them a name. But you didn't give one to who they were talking to. I would have do that too. Personally, I try to give all my characters a name. Especially, the main ones. I think that it makes them feel more real if they have a name.

How They Spoke: This whole story was dialogue. After all, it was part of the Dialogue 500 contest. Did you win the contest for that month? If not, you should have.

Any Last Thoughts: Do you have any more Short Stories like this one. If so, I would definitely like to read and review them if I could.

What was the final Word Count for this story? Was it close to 500? The reason why I ask is because if it wasn't I probably would have added the line '"Oh, great. I had to pick the one human on Earth that doesn't watch Survivor."'

Hello von Garrett,

I saw that this is your anniversary month with WDC. This is your sixth year with us.

Overall Impression: Yes, I liked this story a whole lot. It kept me in Suspense and Mystery even though it wasn't categorized as either. But at the same time I didn't like it. I know that sounds confusing and it is. It's not because of the story itself. But how it was written.

The Story Itself: I wouldn't call this a twisted romance. It's more of a one-sided romance.

Grammar, Spelling, Missing Words: This story was telling instead of showing. And that's a definite no-no. At least it looked like it was to me. Some of it did show your story. But most of it was telling. Unless some of it was dialogue or thinking without the quotation marks or italics.

Any Last Thoughts: Was he a seaman of some kind, like a Pirate or a fisherman? The reason why I ask is because of your ending. Isn't the Siren's Song part of their lives at sea?
