![]() ![]() ![]() aww. :) |
![]() ![]() ![]() Eros and Psyche’s story is one of my favorites, and you've done a good job re-writing it. Please Update Soon. :) |
![]() ![]() ![]() I haven't read that many well-written Eros/Psyche fics. So your's is just one of the few. I've noticed that it's been awhile since you updated this and checked your profile. I do hope you put the whole myth into it since I like te descriptions and syntax that were used in this chapter. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Very nice. I love the story of Psyche and Eros. My all-time favorite book is still C.S. Lewis's Till We Have Faces, which is an excellent retelling of the myth. Quite a few aspects of your story remind me of it, actually. I think that you portrayed Eros very well, you didn't moralize the god be made him approachable. And Psyche's fears were quite believable. The only gripe I have is that you put a period inside the quotes when you needed a comma. That kind of stuff bugs me. I don't know why. Anyway, it didn't inhibit your ability to tell the story. Great job, again. |
![]() ![]() You know what the special thing about tales like these are? The more they're told, and the more variations they're told with, the richer they become. If I ever get my doctorate it's going to be very hard not to write a book on myths and tales...right, not going to get on that soap box. Anyway, I just wanted to say that this isn't how I would have written this story, but I enjoyed it imensley. Good job. :-D |
![]() ![]() ![]() ~Beautiful writing. This is definately my favorite re-telling. Please write more soon. ) ~ |
![]() ![]() ![]() Nice writing. I love stories based on classical mythology! I really liked your description, not necessarily the diction but the syntax, like, 'I tried to go as bravely as I could'; very elegant and strong. I think this story could use a bit of polishing ('On my seventeenth birthday, and still without even one suitor...' should probably be changed to 'On my seventeenth birthday, when I was still without even one suitor...' just to make the sentence flow a bit better. Other than that, good job, and keep writing! |
