WRITING CHALLENGE REVIEW THREAD ~ SEPTEMBER 2014​

Just a few little rules for this thread:-

• This thread is for comments and reviews only. Submissions go here!

• Please keep your comments focused on the pieces posted for the challenge running from 1st – 30th September 2014 only, this is not really intended to be a thread for conversation/flirting/mayhem and so on (Sorry to be a bore!). Writers should be able to find reviews/comments for their pieces without having to trawl through pages of banter (no matter how amusing/sexy it might be!)

• Readers/Reviewers:- Please keep your comments and reviews polite and, wherever possible, positive. If you have constructive criticism or advice for writers please do give it but be polite about it! You don’t have to like everything you read but if you really don’t have anything nice to say about something then I would suggest you refrain from posting. And if all you want to say is you liked a piece and no more…that’s great too! We all know how writers like to be appreciated!

• Authors:- Please take constructive criticism as it is intended, as an attempt at improving possible flaws/problems/areas of confusion in your piece. They are not (hopefully!) personal attacks on you or your work.

• This is supposed to be a fun way to get to know new writers and potential partners, to exercise our writing brains, it’s not a competition, please keep that in mind!

• One more thing…suggestions for future prompts are very welcome and should be PM’d to me – Britwitch – as a link ideally.

Previous challenges and reviews can be found here.

Happy reading!

It was a pleasant surprise to see Mz. Luna around, albeit briefly.

Autumn Beginnings and Endings was a rather enjoyable view of the circle of life. It is interesting that the grandmother's heartbeat has reached a rhythm that stops and starts, and that as hers finally fades, a new one begins. I could picture this happening in a park on a fall day and while it would sadden me, I could also find the peace and contentment of the situation.

You captured everything perfectly.

And it made me cry.

Thank you.


Da Wolf~ Autumn Beginnings and Endings:

Serenity. Acceptance. Beginnings and Endings. You make me smile, Lady. This small piece was everything I could ask for.

Thank you, so much. So very glad you enjoyed.

I also need to do my reviews for Luna and fr33k's amazing pieces too!

Amazingly well done as always!

You ripped my heart apart. It was such a beautiful piece.

Thank you, too, ladies.
I'm not happy you were upset but I am thrilled that that story touched you.

Autumn is Burning and Light of Autumn ~ fr33ks33k

Two gorgeous pieces from you, again!
I think if I had to pick a favourite....it'd be everything you write.
Not allowed? Ok. I think I like Light of Autumn ever so slightly more, the line about jumpers meeting is stunning.
Thank you, as always, for taking part!

Autumn Beginnings and Endings ~ Luna_Wolf72

This was lovely. Sad and sweet and hopeful all at once. I felt like I'd read it before, there was a comfort in the way you described Maeve, I felt like I knew her already.

Also, lovely to see you around

Untitled ~ Scuttle Buttin'

C-r-e-e-p-y! And you always write creepy so well.
This was really well paced and the ending perfectly scary.

Untitled ~ prettyserpentine

Another lovely story, sad from the start but with lots of hopeful little moments to keep you going and wonder how things will end.
Well done, lovely!

Catch and Release ~ saysalice

Oh how I love your writing, especially those little descriptive phrases here and there that put us right in the middle of the action.
Loved it, lovely!

 

[TinyDuchess]

Ok so that was a lot harder than I thought. Finished not anywhere near the required word limit, but still at 11:54pm on SEPT. 30th here! I feel good about that!

I think I'll do better next time, especially if I dont wait until the eleventh hour to get it done.

Thanks for letting me try Brit!

An American Idyll ~ TinyDuchess

It was a beautiful piece! Short but sweet, sad and definitely worth waiting for.

(And don't worry, the word count is an upper limit, not a goal. )
