 the Berserker 2007-04-21 . chapter 1(In return for reviewing CaF)
This is good, I'd like to see more. It doesn't draw me in as much as some other stories, but it looks like t has potential (plus it's slash, so I'm not gonna overlook it :D) |
 failte200 2007-01-14 . chapter 1You're first ever slash? Is the narrator a boy or a girl? You've given us no clue...
Okay - you're actually doing better than I'd have guessed for a 15 yo (I'm 45 myself - yeah, one of those stalkers you've heard about). Spelling, grammer, punctuation, paragraphing are all excellent. The first sentence is a little... "dark and stormy night"ish - but that's just an opinion.
And a further opinion is that it's too expositive - you're telling us too much while nothing has happened to make us interested. You can do that in a novel - not that that would make me like it - but once someone has decided to dig into 100,0 or more words, they'll put up with waiting for something interesting for a chapter or more, sometimes.
As it stands, I have no real reason to care what happens to this guy/girl. Some kind of hint is all it takes... get us to care about him/her, THEN roll out the background. Then we'll be paying attention.
There, you said you wanted constructive criticism... :) |
