Apr 10, 2006 | This story was awful, even for a first attempt. Don't get me wrong, I am not, by any means, the best writer on this site. And neither are you, quite obviously. At least not with this piece of drivel you call a 'story'. The options are lame, the story itself is lame and lacks substance, and I am still shocked and appalled that DEP, Yazzman, and Jeff gave you anything higher than a six. They all tend to be kind to new faces around here, I suppose. Take my advice, delete this story and start over. And do me a favor: TRY this time, mmkay?. You DO have some talent, you just got lazy with this one. |
Wow, I must strongly voice my disagreement with my esteemed peers.|

Apr 5, 2006 | However, as it turns out, the only missing elements are things that pretty much kill a story when they are missing: Plot, character development, and though you had description, I'd like to see it on a little bit of a deeper level. I disagree with donteatpoop that the whole "run around screaming" thing was irrational, because I believe there are a lot of people I know, who would do just that if they woke up in a pitch black room. I do think that some of the events seemed illogical and appear to have been written in a bit of a hurry, most notably the in the room where the reader's body freezes just because they look out a window, before you inform them that the reason is because they are dead. Just keep writing, you clearly have potential. (Sometimes I feel like I'm the "Richard Simmons" of this site) |
Yes, there is effort and for a first story, it's defenitely good.|

Apr 3, 2006 | But I stand by my statement regarding the logic of the choices. "Run around Screaming", in my opinon is exactly the opposite of a logical choice. There are a couple irrational options as the story progresses, but that one is in the first room and therefor left a greater impression on me. But like I said, the writing is excellent. Thus the 8 I gave. Nice job. |
Like I said before. The writing itself is superb. You have a lot of promise and a great deal of talent.|

Apr 2, 2006 | Good points were choices (I disagree with DEP's forum post they were rational choices) and follow-up rooms. If you're looking for improvement, I'd advise fewer choices per room and more description. |
As with a lot of stories, this one's got a great deal of potential. You obviously are a good writer who makes the effort to actually work on your stories, and I'm sure you will improve.
