Just looking for some feedback. :)

Hey guys and gals, first time forum poster here, long time forum reader *waves*.

It's kind of the same story with my writing, too. I'd read Lit for a year or so before I finally attempted to give it a go myself, and now I've been bitten by the writing bug I can't really stop.

I was just wondering if anyone would be able to give me decent feedback about my stories? I try to take notes from the comments posted on my stories, but (with the exception of one posted by someone from Holland) they tend to be worse than worthless (note some guy begging for me to include pregnancy-sex or somesuch - not really constructive). I realise that perhaps I should have done this a lot earlier since any mistakes I might be prone to making are probably cemented into my writing style now, but I'd still like to hear feedback if at all possible :)

From what I've read on here, this is a decent forum to ask, as the people commenting tend to actually read and give a damn. So, if anyone has any time then it would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, and I'm really sorry for linking so many stories. As I said, I really should have done this earlier when I was completely new at it, but being quite busy I only just about found time to write the stories, let alone try and incorporate feedback into them! :eek:

Those were my orginal stories, which, I'll admit, were pretty basic in scope and essentially were nothing more than stroke stories with elves. I like to think that they were fairly good, though, and the voting appears to back this up. I am certain, however, that there are glaring errors and room for improvement in them.

Adventures of the Cohort

This is a much more recent attempt. I decided to try my hand at a longer story with a wider range of ideas, and I thought I'd carried it off quite well. However, the voting appears to suggest that people do not like this story anything like as much, and again I would be flattered if someone could take the time to explain to me where I went wrong. Whilst I know I'll never be particularly good at this writing malarky, I do enjoy doing it and I don't think anyone can say that they're happy when something they put a lot of effort into doesn't do that well.

Again, thankyou for your time, and I'm sorry for the rather large amount of reading material. Also, I apologise for my obtuse and incoherent writing style :p

Here's hoping someone has the time to help me ^^

I read Adventures of the Cohort. I felt that the opening paragraph did a good job of drawing in the reader, and grammar and spelling were generally in good order.

As far as improving, I must say the story failed to keep my interest when I got about halfway through. Also, try to watch out for the repetition of "began to" (which used to be my downfall as well), and try to get rid of some unnecessary adverbs.
