Lady Katreina chapter 5 . 6/2/2008
Kitty reads.

Kitty reads until Dick and Sean.

Kitty bursts out laughing.

So I just started and the first one was... cute. The goth was hilarious, and I thought the cat's POV was very true to cat and the Dick and Jane one is priceless.

Now I'm going to attempt to read the rest! Wish me nothing and save it for yourself. Thank you for writing this exercise.
Midnight Adrenaline chapter 45 . 6/1/2008
Being French I simply had to correct this.

Un ami restait chez un ami. C’était minuit, et ils finissaient un film d’horreur. Un bruit a résonné! Les garçons ont crié! Mais un chat a fait une promenade dans la lumière. Les garçons ont poussé un soupi de soulagement. Finalement, les garçons ont mangé un morceau du fromage.

Should be

Un ami restait chez un ami.

This first sentence isn't too good. Imagine in English "A friend was staying at a friend's."

C’était minuit, et ils finissaient un film d’horreur. Un bruit a résonné!

I propose "retenti"

Les garçons ont criés! Un chat a s'est montré dans la lumière. Les garçons ont poussé un soupir de soulagement. Finalement, les garçons ont mangés un morçeau du fromage.

Very short and jumpy. You go from one thing to the next.

Imalefty chapter 9 . 5/25/2008
straight from the review marathon! (link in profile)

another nice twist of style - i liked the "suspense." it was funny. :)

again, though, i wanted to see the original characters and the original setting... i think a bit too much changed in this one - it wasn't the same story as the original.

Imalefty chapter 8 . 5/25/2008
ahahahaha... this was amazing. definitely a parody of fictionpress - it seems everyone writes about vampires and romance. XD

i wish, though, that you'd kept some of the original characters and there were a few more similarities between the original story and this one.

Imalefty chapter 7 . 5/25/2008
hahaha, great use of limerick form. :) it fit pretty well and definitely matched the original story. :)

i think the fourth line is missing a syllable or something, so it doesn't fit nearly as well as the others. still, good job with this.

Imalefty chapter 6 . 5/25/2008
hahaha, this one is definitely more connected to the original story than the others. i liked the new tone - it defintiely made the story seem different.

i thought the paragraphs could use a little filling out... more detail, or something.

Imalefty chapter 5 . 5/25/2008
hahahaha, this one is my favorite so far. it's just like the style of dick and jane - good job with that. :)

the second to last line was out of place... (funny, but out of place) maybe make it more in the style?

Imalefty chapter 4 . 5/25/2008
hahaha this was a nice exercise in style. it was interesting to see it from the cat's point of view - and the cat's tone was pretty funny, too.

again, i wish there were a few more parallels in the story... you know, to prove that it really is the same story.

i liked the last line. so funny. XD

-Lefty
Imalefty chapter 3 . 5/25/2008
hahaha, wow, this is like a totally different story. i like how you changed everything - the characters, their actions, the whole setting... the tone...

i thought, though, that you could have kept it a little more like the original story. put some more parallels in there... maybe throw in the skittles and mountain dew. XD

-Lefty
Imalefty chapter 2 . 5/25/2008
hahaha, this was a light story... funny and rather typical. it was easy to read, which was nice.

i thought it was a little too sparse... there weren't many descriptions, so the writing was a little bland. but i guess that will change when you try changing the style, right? XD

Imalefty chapter 1 . 5/25/2008
straight from the review marathon! (link in profile)

interesting concept - i really want to read now. :) i never thought there would be so many ways to tell a story.

i would suggest, though, putting this as an authors note connected with the original story, since... this isn't an actual story.

anyway, onto the actual reading! :)
