Review of A Hard Apple to Swallow

Review by PureSciFi

In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group

Rated: E

| (4.0)

Hello Pyramid Jones,

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

Overall Impression: This story didn't make any sense to me. Don't get me wrong I liked it very much. It kept me interested in it from beginning to end. I just don't understand what it's about.

The Story Itself: I understand that it's about a man tempted to eat an apple. Which he does. Only to find half a worm in it. That part I understand. It the rest of it that doesn't.

Your Characters: One thing I know that I would do in this story is given these two individuals 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.

How They Spoke: Some of what wasn't said, should have been said or at least thought. At the moment it reads like you are telling this story instead of showing it. A little more thoughts or dialogue would go a long way, if not completely, eliminate that problem.

Grammar, Spelling, Missing Words: I noticed that there are a lot of grammar errors in this story. Most of it is capitalization of the word 'I.' But you also missed the beginning of a Quotation Mark.

Any Last Thoughts: I think that this was a very, very good story. And with a little re-reading and editing it can be a great one.

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 Alone in the City

Hello S. H. Dixon,

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

Overall Impression: From the Title description it looks like this story is the first in a long line of stories. It also reads that this is just the beginning of a much longer piece. Does that mean this is part of a collection of Short Stories that you plan on making into a Novel? If so, I hope that you do because if they are a great as this one is I know it will be a best seller in no time.

The Story Itself: I feel very sorry for this man. Not only because of the his life now, but because of the reason he is living it. No one should lose a child. I am a little curious as to how that happened, and when it happened. A little bit more details about that would have been nice. But that may be part of the extended version. Am I right about that.

Your Characters: We know his daughter was named Grace. But we don't know who he is. His name hasn't been given yet. I like that you gave Grace a name. But I would have given him one 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: Some would say that that there was no dialogue in this story. But I disagree with them. I think that thoughts are dialogue. Especially when they are done the right way, in italics like you did it.

Any Last Thoughts: Have you added any more stories with this one? If so, I would be very interesting in reading them too. I would also be interested in reading the rest of this one.

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 My start to a fantasy

Review by PureSciFi

Rated: E

| (4.0)

Hello Rentonator,

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

Overall Impression: I'm not sure where the Fantasy or the Action/Adventure comes into this story. But I know what I like. And I liked this story a whole lot. I think it's a very good beginning to a longer story, maybe even a Novel.

The Story Itself: There's nothing wrong with this story. But I would have given it a different title. I give all of my stories a title. True, by the time they get here at WDC it might change. Maybe even change more than once or twice. But there is a title. There's nothing wrong with this title. I just would have done it differently. But that's just how I write my stories.

Your Characters: Lome is the main, and only, character in this story so far. And I like that name a lot. I also like 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: Did you ever pursue it beyond this part? I hope that you did. And if you did, I would be interested in reading 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.

A 'message board' sig for the Power Group to use in their reviews

Hello Shady Lady of the Blue Sea,

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

Overall Impression: This was a simple story. But I like simple. And I liked this story very much.

The Story Itself: At first, I thought 'What was this story about?' Then I looked at it a second time. And I realized Stan was a musician of some kind.

Your Characters: Of course, Anne Marie is the main character in this story. After all, it revolves around her. But Stan is a big part of it too because of who he is to her. 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.

Any Last Thoughts: I think that you did a great job with this story. Do you have any more just as good, or better, as this one. If so, I would also like to read some of them 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.

Shared image for WDC Power Reviewers to use

Hello Kelsey,

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

Overall Impression: I love Suspense/Thriller stories. And even though this wasn't categorized as one, that's the way it read to me. The same goes for it being Horror/Scary. Not only did I love the Genres, I also loved this story. That's why I'm giving it a four plus rating.

The Story Itself: At first, I thought that this was going to be a Horror/Scary. Even to the end of it, it could have been one. But after I finished it I went back up to see what Genre(s) you selected. You could definitely add it to that list. That's true for Suspense/Thriller too.

Your Characters: One thing I would have done differently would have been to give them names, especially the female. But I probably would have given it to the husband and baby 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.

Any Last Thoughts: The only other thing I would have done differently was separate this one paragraph into two, three, or maybe even four paragraphs. I think that it just makes it easier to read if there is more than one.

Review of The Old Man and the Coin

Hello PATTY,

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

Overall Impression: This story had a few problems with it. But overall I liked it very much.

The Story Itself: Maurice is an old man now. But when he finds a quarter it reminds him of what happened to a quarter that he lost as a boy. Was it the same quarter. That'd doubtful after sixty-eight years. But it's possible. Maybe there was something about the first quarter than made it different. And that same difference was on the one he just found.

Your Characters: Of Course, Maurice is the main character in this story. And I liked that you gave your character 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: I'd like to know where he could have bought a lottery ticket for a quarter. I would consider moving to that state.

Hello Raffikie Kernow,

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

Overall Impression: This I have never read in a Short Story before. Don't get me wrong. I think that this story is great. In fact, I think that it's fantastic. What I liked the best about it was the emoticons that you used instead of some of the words. That's what makes it different than what I have read before.

The Story Itself: It really isn't a story. It's more like a comment on how you feel we should be doing. And that is smiling more. I agree with that. We should be doing that. At least that's the way it reads to me.

Your Characters: One thing that I would have done to make this into a story was to give whoever it telling it 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: There is something else that I liked about this story. And that's you Centered it. The different colors is a nice touch too.

Review of The Parable of the Roommates

| (4.5)

Hello DW Olsen,

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

Overall Impression: I think you did a very, very good job with this story. I haven't read anything this good in a long time.

The Story Itself: It was a simple story. But it was also an interesting one. What I liked the best about this story was how the older male came out of his shell. And how he did that.

Your Characters: The only thing I would have definitely done different if this was my story was 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. But what dialogue there was is what made this story.

Grammar, Spelling, Missing Words: I don't know if it's a grammar error or not that you shouldn't Double Space except for in-between paragraphs. But I think it is.

Any Last Thoughts: You wrote that this was an Assisted Living roommate situation. I can understand why the older man was doing there. But not about the younger one. Was he just a little bit younger than the older one or did he have some kind of a disability? A little bit more information about that would have been nice.

Review of Helen Loved Poetry

Review by PureSciFi

In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group

Rated: ASR

| (3.5)

Hello Fry Daddy,

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

Overall Impression: This was a very weird Short Story. Not because it was Horror. I like Horror. It was because it didn't make sense to me. Him writing the poem did. But the ending didn't.

The Story Itself: It started with the title. I was intrigued by it. Then I started reading the story. And it didn't take me long to get confused. True, I can understand the Poetry part. But not Helen loving it. Isn't Helen a fish. From your words in the poem it sounds like she is.

Your Characters: Carl is the main character in this story. But I think Helen is a big part of it too. After all, this story is about her. I liked that you gave your 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.

How They Spoke: There was no dialogue within this story. But I think that there should have been. some of it reads like you are telling a story instead of reading it. A good example of that is him thinking about what rhymes with 'hand.' I think you should have either thought the question out or spoke it.

Any Last Thoughts: I take it that Helen is a fish. If so, how can she love Poetry. She could hear it, and respond to it in some way, but she can't read it. Unless this is a Science Fiction story too. Maybe if you had Carl reading it to her. And having her respond by flapping her gills, head, body, etc. Then it would make a lot more sense to me.

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 Paradoxical,

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

Overall Impression: This was a well written poem. But it wasn't a Short Story. Don't get me wrong. I like Poetry. But you categorized this as a Short Story.

The Story Itself: Yes, I understand what you have written in this poem. But it's not really a story. A story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. This one didn't. Sometimes my endings are questions, shocks, mysterious, etc. But they are still ending. What I liked the most about it, though, was that it rhymed. I have never been very good at doing that sort of Poetry. I'm more the story time of Poet. Maybe that's why you categorized this as a Short Story?

Your Characters: I know that it can be hard to do with Poetry. Bu I would have had at least one character in this story. 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: I'm curious about something. Why did you categorize this as a Short Story when it's a poem.

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 zwrtshiek33,

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

Overall Impression: What I liked the best about these blog entries were that they were all very short. I like that very, very much. But that's not the only reason why I'm giving your a four plus rating. It's also because of what you wrote within them.

The Blog Itself: Usually, I only read one to three blog entries depending on their lengths. And I did read the first five. but when I went down to do this review I noticed there was only three more of them. So, I read them all.

Grammar, Spelling, Missing Words: I noticed that in almost every, if not all of them, that you had at least one missing word. Is that part of your disability? Don't know too much about it. I also noticed that you didn't capitalize you 'Is' either.

Any Last Thoughts: As you can see from my Handle and Username, I'm a big fan of Science Fiction too. In fact, I specialize in it. But like you I also dabble in some of the other Genres. I also agree with you on the Plotting versus Panster. When it comes to my Novels and Scripts I am a Plotter. But not as much with my Short Stories and Poems. Even though, most are my Short Stories are Plotted too. I use the Section, Part, Line Number method. But I remove them before I create 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 blog with WDC. And sharing it especially with me. Keep on writing great blogs like this one.

Rated: E | N/A (Review only item.)

Hello Quihadi,

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

Overall Impression: I couldn't get past the latest entry before I stopped reading it. But I did skim over the next couple, though. Don't get me wrong. I liked what I read a lot. It's not you, it's me. This is one of those Genres that I'm not very comfortable with.

Your Blog Introduction: As soon as started reading your introduction I knew that I was in trouble. But I did like one thing about it, though. And that's you are very open and upfront about your writing.

The Blog Itself: I'm not a very religious person. I do believe in God and Jesus. But I don't think that you have to go to church every week, if ever, in order to prove it. The same is true when it comes to writing about it. It makes me feel like you are preaching to me. True, you didn't mention it in your Introduction Genres. But it still feels like preaching to me.

Any Last Thoughts: Are you a Preacher, Minister, etc.? From these blog entries, it sure does read like you are one.

Hello Walkinbird,

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

Overall Impression: You have done a very good job with these blog entries. That's why I'm giving you a four rating. What I liked the best is that you talked about Script writing. I'm a scriptwriter too. But you wouldn't believe that if you looked at my portfolio. It's full of Short Stories. I'm just getting back to writing what I want to write, scripts.

Your Blog Introduction: The first part of your introduction read like it was a Short Story. Then you went into your blog introduction. I liked that a whole lot.

The Blog Itself: I only read your last three blog entries. And there wasn't anything wrong with them. But the third one was pretty short, maybe even too short. It also didn't make much sense to me either.

Any Last Thoughts: Are your other blog entries as good, or better, than the three. If they are, I would like to read them too if I get the time to do it.

Hello Brandiwyn♪,

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

Overall Impression: You are right. They were sending you the same form letter.
At times it may be changed slightly. Their attempt to make it look like they were responding to your emails. But it was still the same one.

Your Blog Introduction: I liked your introduction a whole lot. That's why I am giving this blog a four rating. What I liked the most about it was the links at the beginning of it.
I also liked rest of it too.

The Blog Itself: This one blog read like several blog entries rolled up into one.
But that's because it's several form letters and replies.

Any Last Thoughts: What I didn't like about this blog entry was its length. I know there are no Word Count limitations when it comes to blogs. But still, this last entry is way too long. At least that's how I feel.

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 B McAodh Celtic 'son of fire',

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

Overall Impression: Eleven years with us. I don't blame you for celebrating. And what better to do it than with your blog. True, it may not be as good as your writing. But it's still good. That's why I'm giving you a four rating.

Your Blog Introduction: This introduction was a lot longer than most. And there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, I like that a whole lot. The more you tell about yourself, the more everyone else will know about you.

The Blog Itself: At first, I didn't think that I would read beyond your latest blog entry because it was extremely long. But then I noticed that this one blog entry was like several entries in one. I also noticed that the next three were a lot shorter. Especially, the second and fourth one. after all, they were just videos.

Any Last Thoughts: I think that you have done a great job with the blog entries that I have read, especially the first and third one. Don't get me wrong. True, I didn't like the second and fourth ones as much. But I still did like them. Keep up the good blogging.

Hello vivacious,

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

Overall Impression: I like your blog a whole lot. What I like the most about it is that your aren't afraid to speak your mind.

Your Blog Introduction: Great introduction. You put in one without really putting in one. That's great to me.

The Blog Itself: The first blog was about ranting and raving about writing. How you want to do it everyday. But you also need to find an agent. The second one I didn't like as much because of what it was about. It's not that I'm anti-religion. It is because you put it in your blog without any warning. True, the Title is somewhat of a warning. But it was a lot more detailed than most individuals want. Don't get me wrong. I am religious. I'm an unofficial Baptist. Which means I don't believe that you have to go to church every week, if ever, in order to be religious. I do agree with you about the sins, adultery, etc. part, though.

Any Last Thoughts: I admire you for wanting to write in your blog every day. And I hope that you can keep it up. Tried to do that myself. But that didn't last very long. Neither did writing in them once a week. and as you can see if you check out my blogs I haven't written anything in them for several months.

Overall Impression: What I liked the best about this poem was that it was the kind of a poem I might write. I'm not talking about the subject itself. But that it didn't rhyme.

The Poem Itself: I'm not exactly sure what this poem is about. I know it's about a Summer, or Summers, in a Grass Garden. But other than that I'm not sure. You did mention something about quitting your job and going back to the fields. Is that what it's about?

How It Makes Me Feel: Don't get me wrong. This might read like I didn't like your story. But I did. It was just a little bit confusing to me about what it was about.

Any Last Thoughts: I'm not a big fan of Poetry. But I know what I like. And I liked this poem a lot.

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

Hello Sarah A. MacDonald,

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

Overall Impression: I'm not a big fan of Poetry. But I know what I like. And I liked this poem a whole lot.

The Poem Itself: It reads like this individual like all the seasons except for Summer. I can relate to that. The heat gets to me too. True, I don't hate it as much as this one did. But I don't like it very much.

How It Make Me Feel: This is kind of a sad poem. Yet, it didn't make me sad. In fact, it's just the opposite. I'm happy that I got the chance to read it.

Grammar, Spelling, Missing Words: It looks like you made a grammar error in this poem. Shouldn't there be the only one 'be' in that one line?

Any Last Thoughts: I think you did a great job with this poem. Do you have any more like it?

Hello CSummaries,

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

Overall Impression: This is one of the best, if not the best, stories that I have ever read. That's why I'm giving it a five Rating. I would give it more if I could. But I can't.

The Story Itself: It is a very sad story about what happened to Sarah growing up. No one should ever live like that, especially a child. It's even worse what the adults, that weren't her parents, didn't do about it. I can understand why they didn't because of what happened to Sarah when they did. But they should have done something.

Your Characters: Sarah is the only character mentioned in this story. And I liked that you gave her a name. But you didn't give yourself one. 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: I understand why you only gave Sarah a name. After all, the story was about her. But I would have given you one too.

Hello SnowAngel,

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

Overall Impression: I liked this story a lot. At first, I didn't because it didn't make too much sense to me. But by the time it ended I did.

The Story Itself: She was a female all alone in life after her one true love vanished. This is a very sad story. But it was also a very uplifting one.

How They Spoke: There was only one sentence of dialogue in this story. And I'm not even sure it was dialogue. It read more like a quote to me.

Any Last Thoughts: Don't get me wrong. It might read like I didn't like this story. But I did. It was just a little confusing at first. I knew that it was a story about love and the loss of it. But the way it was written up until the last big paragraph seemed more like rambling than story telling.

Review of I Never Liked Summer Camp

Hello ToeMoss,

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

Overall Impression: This was a very good Horror/Scary story. And I liked it very much. What I liked most about it was that I grew up pretty much the same way as he did. Only I didn't hate Summer Camp. I just didn't like most of the other Campers and Counselors.

The Story Itself: A very interesting story. It started off as a mystery about what happened to Jeffery. But it ended with what really happened to him, or did it? We know that he fell into that hole. What we don't know is if he ever got out of it.

Your Characters: You gave Jeffery a name. But not yourself. At first, I didn't like that. But by the end of the story, I understood why you didn't. 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: I can see why you didn't give yourself a name in this story. After all, it reads like you just admitted to murder.

Hello 3Roses,

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

Overall Impression: This was a very good poem. Once I started reading it I couldn't stop until I finished it.

The Poem Itself: An outside concert under a Summer's moon. And from what I read it was a classical or a Shakespeare concert.

How It Makes Me Feel: I am very happy that I chose this poem to read. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have known how good of a poem this is.

Any Last Thoughts: I'm not a big fan of Poetry because I'm not very good at it myself. But I know what I like. And I liked this poem a whole lot.

Hello 3rdgal,

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

Overall Impression: I did like this poem a whole lot. But it was a little bit too hard for me to read because it was one big paragraph.

The Poem Itself: What I liked best was the dialogue at the end of it. I haven't seen a lot of poems with dialogue within them. But I have seen a few.

How It Make Me Feel: It made me feel sad. Not because it was a sad poem. But because of the reason, she was sad. She pulled another one who died because of that hurricane.

Any Last Thoughts: Personally, I would have broken up this one paragraph into several others. And from what I read that could have been doing pretty easily. But that's just the way that I like to write.

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.

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.
