Writing Challenge ~ Summer 2016 ~ Comments and Reviews

WRITING CHALLENGE REVIEW THREAD ~ SUMMER 2016​

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 21st July – 31st August 2016 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!

I really enjoy your perspective on the old cop-falls-for-his-perp story. The twist at the end was pleasant and while the passionate parts of the tale weren't as explicit as some would expect, I could still feel the heat of their budding feelings.

Overall, well done. But that's what I expect when I see you've written something anyway.

It is the evil word limit that shrinks the passionate parts. The challenge of writing something so tight is what excites me. Britwitch is my short-story muse and I am forever thankful for it.
