Looking for feedback

Ok, so I know this should be in story feedback, but in all honesty I'm afraid of the trolls. Besides, I'm looking for honest feedback here, and no I'm not just fishing for votes (although that would be a wonderful bonus, and I certainly wouldn't mind if I got a few more). ;) :cool:

There's a link in the sig, but here's another one for those that may have them turned off like I do. ;)

Trom's stuff
 
I have only read your AH story, but I'll read another and give you some honest feedback, Trom. Which one of your stories do you have the most invested in and happiest with?

that's an interesting question. I think there are things I did well in each of them. The AH story was just a monster where I tried to fit everyone in as best as I could. Plus most of the stories I've been writing lately have been tied to a chain, and therefore had a specific reason for its' existence. :p Then again, the ones that aren't chain related are my oldest, and are probably not as good as the newer ones. I'd say if you had to pick one go with one of my most recent ones.

Also I'm currently writing a story that will be related to my "Sorority House" stuff. I really like the idea, but it's gotten really long and I haven't even gotten to the real meat and potatoes part. I'd love for someone to read what I have so far and give me some pointers. I'm sure you guys could teach me a lot. I am still pretty new at this after all. :p

Thanks a lot though Neo! I really appreciate it! :)

Don't thank me yet. ;) Kidding. I'll read and leave feedback for it in a day or two for: Midnight: Animal Instinct. It looks like it has a good mix of dialog and narration, which I usually find to be more interesting reads. Then, this story being a Chain Story appears to be in a sub-category that is my favorite, Non-Human.

Yeah. I chose that category with a specific idea in mind. Then I changed my mind and started formulating another idea. Then scrapped that one and went with what I ended up with. :p

My first poem submitted today too. I don't know a blasted thing about poetry, but it was the one we did for the challenge. It's doing much better than I thought it would though (3.50, 4 votes, 22 views). I'm sure that'll go down soon though. :p

You do realize that we trolls who comment on stories in the Story Feedback Forum, he asks, sharpening his axe as he emerges from underneath his bridge, are mostly authors ourselves who have been known to visit the Author's Hangout and read the odd thread, don't you? Hmm? :)

I'll be right back; I just have to go get some friends.

Marsh, I hadn't guessed - you really are a parrot. Could just hear you squawking here..

it's right. The bunch of lunatics over at Story Feedback (Including the caged Marsh bird) are game to give anyone a leg up to be a confident creative writer. We're not a clique and we love seeing people flex their wings and make a name for themselves.

Come join the coven.
 
I never EVER said anyone on the story feedback forum was a troll. Actually I was referring to a certain pompous windbag who thinks he's the greatest author who ever lived and his numerous alts. You guys are cool. :p

ETA: I guess I'm a little wary of the story feedback area because I went there when I first started and received scant little feedback. In fact the only people who gave me feedback at all were people I had known from the AH. Plus there are certain people who post around there that I don't want to get involved with (see above).

Hi Trombonus, I hope you don't mind but I've left a bit of feedback and a comment on your poem. Don't fret that poems aren't your strong suit, not everyone is a neonurotic :p. Come over and work through a couple of the challenge threads on the PoBo forum. We don't bite (often any more) and if you find anyone being rude or crass there, simply tell them so.

Honest feedback is what some of us pride ourselves on offering, if it seems a little snobby it's because we've got a bee or something up our arses. Anyway, if you'd like to flex the poetic muscle, come on in.

:devil: Flatterer. I'll take that as a round about way of flirting with me.


And I second what champ said about the Poetry forum.

You know what they say about flirtatious flattery? It's only acceptable when the giver is meticulously honest :p. And, me? My veracity is never called to trial when it comes to what I like.

Lying about what pleases you is the same as faking orgasm when you masturbate... (my fave analogy).

Have I told you how much I lust for you lately? :devil:

hehehe.... You only lust for me lately? What about early? I'm a morning person, y'know. :catroar: And a fool's honesty can never be questioned, either. They are too wise to tell falsehoods.

lol, I know nothing about poetry. :p I just did that for the poetry challenge we had here not too long ago and thought I may as well submit it since I had it sitting around anyway. :p

Of course, I don't have time to even breathe these days, let alone write anything. :p
