(this list will hopefully continue to grow, and if you have any suggestions of your own, please send me a message!)
Reviews make my week, so please, leave reviews! Tell me if you liked it or if you have any critiques or suggestions. Don't worry about being harsh, I'm a big girl and can handle it. Improving my writing is a priority for me--but no flames please. Believe me, I don't need to hear how badly I suck at life from a perfect stranger. And pop over to some of my other things (even if they are woefully unfinished) and tell me what you think. It's unlikely that I will continue any of my past stories at this point, but honest opinions on past work can still only help. Oh and by the way, although I am not a poet by any stretch of the imagination (and the imagination can be verrry stretchy), I am quite proud at my attempts at poetry, so please let me know what you think.
If you review my story, I'll review yours!
If you know anyone who likes commenting and editing and all-around ripping authors' work to shreds with, of course, the intention of trying to make it better, then send them a link to my story. The more the merrier.
I really enjoy reading and critiquing the work of fellow literary hopefuls, so if you want someone's opinion, are having trouble getting reviews, or just want to up your hit count, send me a message! I will be honest and try not to pull my punches, but I won't be an ass just for the sake of talking down to someone.
Happy reading!

8/26/07: Night Terrors is something I'm experimenting with. I kinda like how it turned out. Tell me what you think. I have some half-formed plans for a longer story, but I refuse to commit to anything (You can't make me!).
3/11/07: I have posted a one shot, Prodigy. I rather like it, so check it out and leave a review. If it catches your fancy, you might want to check out my other one shot, Illusions. It's short, but still worth a looking-over.
