This reminds me of so many bad stories I've read. I think characters should rebel more often...
This may actually help me in my story writing. I'll stop and ask myself "Do my characters resent me?"
By the way, I appreciate your honest and helpful feedback on A Scarlet Twist of Fate. On most stories I just get things like "Wow, cool." or "I don't get it."

Wow. Just...wow.
I can honestly say that was the best story I've read in years, if not the best story I've ever read period.
There was a mistake or two here and there, and some words were repeated a little too often, but other than that it was brilliant.
Original, creative, nice flow.
Keep up the good work, will you?

Pretty good. It seemed a tad 'clippy' as it was almost all dialog, but I'm assuming that was part of the satire. If so, I can see the reason for it although I don't necessarily like it.

There was one spelling error which I think was unintentional. “Anyway, if you are not going to be so good as to stay with me once the story ends—if you are going to break character once we get pasty the final chapter—you could be so good as to follow the plot up to that point.”

'pasty' should be 'past.' Unlike substituting 'revenged' for 'avenged' this, if intentional, in my opinion adds nothing to the humor.

One last thing. You used the terms outline, script, and plot line at different points in the story, but for your purposes they are more or less interchangeable. The use of 'plotline' in the last sentence could certainly be changed to either 'script' or 'outline.' If the plot line is hefty enough to flip through, it is almost certainly better called an outline.

To leave on a good note, I particularly enjoyed the mention of sci-fi and comparing it to fantasy. The two are so alike and the notion of them having a common cast of characters is rather amusing.

Actually saw you reviewing other people, so decided to review you.
Interesting, the author is involved - although not new, it's a least a good twist.
It made the entire scene light-hearted and funny instead of just the pure fantasy.
There's a little overuse of '-' - it's in a lot of places.
So, it's that the characters that somehow interact with the author and vice versa and they join in to create the story?
Just, perhaps the dragon doesn't seem as fierce and all - since you said it was typical, but that might be part of the humor.
Well, cheers.

I know you asked in your bio that reviews avoid pleasantries and focus on constructive criticism; however, there's very little, if anything, to criticize. Excellent story line. I loved the perspective you created. You're much too good for someone one like me to critique. My expertise is social studies; yours is creative writing. I'll critique those more novice than myself. You obviously do not apply. Stick with writing, whatever you do.

Excellent work. I'll overlook the fact that the type of writer you so masterfully described is me. Very nice job with developing the sarcastic characters. I particularly enjoyed the dragon. Write on!
