Max Radio 2007-09-01 ch 1,	abuseYes, yes, great message, so inspirational, schmoozeschmoozeschmooze... Some authors need to write about things that they know about to make the story convincing. It's (one of the reasons) why I don't read poetry. Poets aren't required to have much imagination. They only need to make their inward angsts and depressions sound moving and beautiful, and I guess I can respect that...but what I can't respect is when a poet remains in a poet state of mind while writing something that (looks like) it should be a story. Where I'm going with this is...well, honestly, I found the whole piece to be a little immature, verging on the edge of boring. So what, they just suddenly get a house togehter? Pardon my french, but what the hell? And then what happens? "Now we're best friends". Contrary to popular belief, opposites don't attract anywhere outside of the hard Scientific world. If people like that got a house together, I'd think that it would end up in the building exploding. Why couldn't the conservative just live with one of his buddies? Or would that simply be too gay? And speaking of 'gay', what about this gardener? Man or Woman? Or does it matter? These are all pretty much rhetorical, but I would like to get some kind of explaination. 2/10
Xerophyte 2006-11-04 ch 1,	abuseYay. I love the message of this piece. I have a friend who pretty much hates me because I'm a ** liberal. This shows not only how people can learn to live with eachother, but the wife's standpoint illustrated well how prejudiced people can be. The paragraph beginning with "Yes, we fought..." was great with the parallel structure, but it would have gotten a tad annoying if it had gone on for longer than it did. This story is really, really good. One gramatical issue: "We were too different people and we would never be friends." The "too" should be "two," but strangely, the "too" kinda works for me. Not gramatically correct, but hey, artistic liscense. Great story! Congratulations on getting your poetry published! Thanks for your review! I really appreciate it. -Xero
Mortifer Amor Phasmus 2006-10-29 ch 1,	abuseHmm, it seems a little short like you could have extended it and gone into a little more detail. Otherwise I love this. A fair and accurate interpretation of the way of the world both good and bad.
myheartbelongstosuperman 2006-10-27 ch 1,	abuseI love the theme behind this story; it's absolutely wonderful, and it's certainly an idea that should be addressed more often in writing. Great job!
kelsi bones 2006-10-24 ch 1,	abuseI like this peice. I find it amusing because it holds so much truth. Two completely different people can make the best of friends. I think you could make this even better if you expanded on it a bit. Katrina
SerialXLain 2006-10-19 ch 1,	abuseI like it... I think it would be better if you expanded on it or made it longer. It would've been cool to look into a day in their lives when they hated each other, and once again when they were getting along. It just promises a lot but it's so short that it doesn't really hold that. Once again, I like it nevertheless. xo
