Post to the Story Feedback forum.

The critiquing here in SDC is on a 'swap' basis. Read the first posting of the 'sticky' about 'discussion feedback.' You're welcom to join in, but there's a brief time in which you've gotta 'give' a little (critique to someone else). Sign up in that discussion feedback thread, if you're interested.

Story Feedback or Author's Hangout or General Board can get you some feedback, no strings.

Maybe this was moved from another forum? Otherwise, what is this forum for?
 
HH,

This was moved from the Story Discussion Circle to this forum. Pure's comments only relate to the SDC, not to the Story Feedback forum.
 
Starting your career with a Novel/Novella is very ambitions.

I disagree with the comments about sex starting too soon, as I perceive the story is not about Karl and "Frank." This does start to introduce the characters.

Personally I'm not into multichapter stories (althoug I have written a few) but this looks promising.

Good luck
 
Thanks for comments,everybody. Much appreciated. Work on chapter 2 almost done.:)
 
I enjoyed this opening chapter of the story. I agree with Vargas that starting with a novella is a little ambitious but I wish you the best of luck.

The only criticism I really have is the story seemed too rushed for me. There was some slight character development like the contrast between "Frank" and Karl, but I would have liked to have seen a little more of that. However, I'm sure that and much more will be dealt with in the future. For the length of this submission you did do a good job in creating some sympathy for the predicament the characters are in especially "Frank" and Tim.

romantic and sexy

MAybe a little explaination of why it's Karl who's in the catbird seat. Nice beginning to a story that could go in a lot of directions.
 
I like where you were heading quite a bit, although i was dissapointed that there wasnt as much as i was expecting. I usualy try to include one sexual scene per chapter too keep the readers interested. I think by going more into detail about how she was masturbating would have done well. what she was thinking as she did it what she did and how she felt as she was doing it. As a guy i always find women's daydreams and inner thoughts to be very interesting. Thanks for sharing with us.

Hi Katie - hope you don't mind I've sent you a pm with my thoughts on your story
 
It's a shame, we all couldn't have a moment such as yours!

It seems to me that we all should build an inventory of relationships before we seek the 'perfect' one.
