Review Style
I believe in constructive criticism and honesty. I can adapt my review style to fit the kind of feedback an author is looking for (e.g., developmental suggestions, fine-tuning, proofreading, etc.), but will always try to be as encouraging and helpful as possible.
I'm good at...
Plotting, characterization, dialogue, structure/pacing, and professional considerations. I can also do serviceable technical editing/proofreading, but I'm much better with developmental/creative feedback.
Favorite Genres
I read almost everything. I particularly love genre fiction (mystery/thriller and science fiction/fantasy especially) and nonfiction of all kinds.

Review of Thirst  
Review by Jeff
Rated: 18+ | (4.5)
Excellent story, Moriarty! I know from experience it's not easy to tell a story in such a short span of words, and you did a great job creating a quick flash fiction tale with consistent mystery elements. It would be a pleasure to feature this item in the next issue of the official Mystery newsletter. Keep up the good work and keep writing! *Smile*

Hi Charda -

I had a chance to read your item today, and have enclosed the following Unofficial Erotica Newsletter Group review for your consideration. Please keep in mind that the following is my opinion only, and you as the author have the right to use or disregard any of my comments as you see fit.



WHAT WORKED

*Thumbsup* Good use of erotic elements

*Thumbsup* Interesting story

*Thumbsup* Engaging characters


WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED

*Thumbsdown* Felt rushed


OVERALL IMPRESSION

Overall, I really liked this story. It was fun, entertaining, and sexy. Ultimately, I felt that the story felt a little rushed without a lot of setup or resolution. While that tends to happen with "quickie" stories less than a thousand words, your entry came in at 733 words... and I felt like those remaining 136 words allowed by the Weekly Quickie contest rules could have really helped round this story out a little more. Other than that, though, I thought it was a very enjoyable story, and it would be a pleasure to feature it in the next issue of the Unofficial Erotica Newsletter. Good work! *Bigsmile*


I hope that you've found my comments useful. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review your work.

Keep up the good work and keep writing!

Hi Winnie Kay -

I had a chance to read your item today, and have enclosed the following Angel Army review for your consideration. Please keep in mind that the following is my opinion only, and you as the author have the right to use or disregard any of my comments as you see fit.



WHAT WORKED

*Thumbsup* Good concept

*Thumbsup* Great ending


WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED

*Thumbsdown* The lead-in chat conversation was a little easy to spot.


OVERALL IMPRESSION

Overall, I thought you did a really good job creating an engaging, creepy, tragic story. I would suggest making the initial chat conversation a little longer, and burying the "I like seeing you in that T-shirt" line somewhere in the middle of a much longer exchange; the current one was so short, the line really stuck out, and the reader spends the next three paragraphs wondering how Alisa didn't see it... until she does. By masking that line a little better, I think you'll keep your reader guessing. It would be a pleasure to feature this item in the next issue of the official Mystery newsletter. Good job! *Smile*

Hi Princess Megan Rose 22 Years -

I had a chance to read your item today, and have enclosed the following Simply Positive review for your consideration. Please keep in mind that the following is my opinion only, and you as the author have the right to use or disregard any of my comments as you see fit.


WHAT WORKED


*Star* Brilliant concept

*Star* Great execution

*Star* Demonstrated knowledge of both authors' literature.

WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED

*Halfstar* In the first paragraph, "Jane sat in her favorite blue velvet wing tip back chair." To the best of my knowledge, "wingtip" is a type shoe, and "wing back" is a type of chair.

OVERALL IMPRESSION

Overall, I thought this was an excellent piece of writing. I thoroughly enjoyed the concept and execution, which was entertaining, engaging... and I would think should teach people a little about both of these must-read authors if they haven't experienced their work before. Excellent piece of writing! *Smile*


I hope that you've found my comments useful. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review your work.

Hi Legerdemain -

I had a chance to read your item today, and have enclosed the following Simply Positive review for your consideration. Please keep in mind that the following is my opinion only, and you as the author have the right to use or disregard any of my comments as you see fit.


WHAT WORKED


*Star* Elegant

*Star* Convincing

*Star* Well written

WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED

*Halfstar* Nothing

OVERALL IMPRESSION

I thought this was a great item that paralleled my feelings about building monuments to those that have been lost. While I certainly understand the desire to memorialize where someone was lost (particularly in the event of tragedies like car accidents and such), I also think it's important not to dwell on the loss itself, but on who the individual was as a person. Thanks for sharing such a well written and evocative piece of writing. Always a pleasure to read your work. *Smile*

Review of Paper World.

Hi khaki -

I had a chance to read your item today, and have enclosed the following review for your consideration. Please keep in mind that the following is my opinion only, and you as the author have the right to use or disregard any of my comments as you see fit.

As a longtime fan of super-short flash fiction contests (100 words, 99 words, 55 words, etc.), I can definitely appreciate the skill and difficulty involved in completing an entry at all, let alone one as sophisticated as this one. While most writers would struggle to even tell a basic story with a beginning, middle, and end in the span of only 55 words, you also managed to work in strong thematic elements and some powerful imagery... not easy to do! Well done! *Smile*

I hope that you've found my comments useful. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review your work.

Keep up the good work and keep writing!

Hi khaki -

I had a chance to read your item today, and have enclosed the following review for your consideration. Please keep in mind that the following is my opinion only, and you as the author have the right to use or disregard any of my comments as you see fit.

As someone who has just recently ventured into the realm of poetry (and fell in love with the haiku form), I have to say that I really enjoyed these two samples of the form. They were elegant, well written, and evocative. 🌕 HuntersMoon is an excellent poet (and gave me incredibly helpful advice on my first haiku); I would suggest also possibly requesting that he review this item, as he is infinitely more well-versed in this form than I am... But as far as my opinion goes, I like what I see! *Bigsmile*

I really enjoyed the message in this poem. I think the last two lines really drove home the point and made an elegant philosophical statement. The structure was sound, the writing was concise and had a good flow to it; all in all, I thought this was an excellent selection of poetry. Nicely done! *Smile*

Hi Lunarmirror -

I had a chance to read your item today, and have enclosed the following review for your consideration. Please keep in mind that the following is my opinion only, and you as the author have the right to use or disregard any of my comments as you see fit.

I think the narrator in this story is engaging and complex. You did a good job of presenting her life and the conflicts and struggles she has endured in her relationships. I was hoping for a little more character development for her husband (Eric), to make him more of an active, dynamic antagonist, but otherwise I found this to be a compelling, interesting story. Nice job. *Smile*

Review of Wounds In Bones

Hi Lunarmirror -

I had a chance to read your item today, and have enclosed the following review for your consideration. Please keep in mind that the following is my opinion only, and you as the author have the right to use or disregard any of my comments as you see fit.

Overall, I enjoyed this story. There was clearly a lot of originality and creativity that went into writing a story like this; your characters were excellent, and the story was well-presented with consistent atmosphere and tone. The two suggestions I have are to make the opening dialogue a little less expository (many of the lines were on the nose), and to flesh out the story with some detailed narrative description, in addition to the dialogue. When a piece is composed primarily of dialogue, it feels more like it's written for the stage or screen rather than the page... and the way you present that narrative is often one of the defining characteristics of an author. Still, this was a very well written piece, and I greatly enjoyed reading it. Good work! *Smile*

I hope that you've found my comments useful. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review your work.

Keep up the good work and keep writing!

Review of Lullaby

Hi Just Aniece! -

I had a chance to read your item today, and have enclosed the following review for your consideration. Please keep in mind that the following is my opinion only, and you as the author have the right to use or disregard any of my comments as you see fit.

Overall, I enjoyed reading the item, but ultimately felt that it was a bit unfinished. In this relatively short piece of writing, the reader is thrown into an unfamiliar situation (a narrator who has a conversation with a bed), and the events of the story are concluded rather abruptly. I was a little confused about who the narrator is, why he would have a conversation with the bed (and what makes a bed "wise") about bedbugs, and where the man comes into play.

I definitely think there's potential for this story, but in its present form, the point of view needs to be clarified and the work, in my opinion, needs to be developed and expanded so that the reader can have a clear picture in their mind about who this narrator is, and why they are reading this story.

All that said, the overall concept intrigued me, and I would like to read more. *Smile*

I hope that you've found my comments useful. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review your work.

Keep up the good work and keep writing!

WHAT WORKED


*Star* Engaging dialogue

*Star* Interesting story

*Star* Great ending

WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED

*Halfstar* The section breaks made the item feel slightly disjointed

OVERALL IMPRESSION

This was a fun story. I love the Dialogue 500 Contest, and you did a great job telling a story through dialogue. I thought that the section breaks made the story feel a bit segmented and jumpy, but other than that, you did a really good job with this entry. It's hard to get dialogue right... and even harder to tell a story with ONLY dialogue... and in that respect, I think you did an excellent job. Good work! *Smile*

Hi tearsdelilah -

I had a chance to read your item today, and have enclosed the following Simply Positive review for your consideration. Please keep in mind that the following is my opinion only, and you as the author have the right to use or disregard any of my comments as you see fit.


WHAT WORKED


*Star* Concise

*Star* Clear

*Star* Good imagery and tone

WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED

*Halfstar* Inconsistent structure

*Halfstar* Could use a little more variety in rhymes

OVERALL IMPRESSION

Overall, I enjoyed this poem, but thought the structure needed to be consistent between the two stanzas (a,a,a and b,c,b) and that there could have been a bit more variety in the rhyming words, since all the "a" lines repeated the word "near" and all the "b" lines repeated the word "here." Repetition can sometimes be an effective way of emphasizing a point or giving the reader a feeling of rhythm and comfort, but in a short piece like this, I would recommend finding alternative words that rhyme with 'near' and 'here' (e.g. beer, cheer, clear, dear, deer, ear, gear, hear, mere, peer, pier, queer, rear, seer, sheer, spear, sphere, steer, tear, we're, year, etc.) to give the poem a little variety and sense of diversity. If this were a longer piece, I think the stanzas you have would work really well... but with only six lines, I was hoping to see your poetic structure have a little more diversity.

Also, from the short description of your item ("A lost soul... looking for a way home..."), I imagined this poem would be a little more about someone trying to get home, rather than questioning what it is the narrator is afraid of, when the person she needs is sitting next to him/her.

Other than that, though, I thought this was an entertaining short poem, and it would be a pleasure to feature this item in the next issue of the official Mystery newsletter. *Smile*

Hi smizwaz -

I had a chance to read your item today, and have enclosed the following Simply Positive review for your consideration. Please keep in mind that the following is my opinion only, and you as the author have the right to use or disregard any of my comments as you see fit.


WHAT WORKED


*Star* Good characterization

*Star* Excellent, exotic location

*Star* Intriguing concept

WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED

*Halfstar* Ending was a little abrupt

*Halfstar* Needing some more mystery/tension throughout

OVERALL IMPRESSION

I thought this was a fun, entertaining item. You did a really great job capturing Cassie's excitement for traveling to Greece, and nailed that feeling of going somewhere on vacation, waking up, and being amazed by even the smallest things, which all seem so fresh and new. If there were one area of improvement, it would be to work the tower into your story a little more, and create a sense of foreboding (and irresistibility) about it. As is, the story feels a little more like a recounting of the little things on Cassie's vacation, and then leaves us when she just happens to see the tower and heads inside. If the tower were more prominently featured, and Cassie were to have avoided it a few times, until curiosity got the better of her, it would make the pull on the audience that much stronger.

Other than that, I really enjoyed the story, and it would be a pleasure to feature it in the next issue of the official Mystery newsletter. *Bigsmile*

Hi Josh T. Alto -

I had a chance to read your item today, and have enclosed the following Simply Positive review for your consideration. Please keep in mind that the following is my opinion only, and you as the author have the right to use or disregard any of my comments as you see fit.


WHAT WORKED


*Star* Good use of tone

*Star* Easy, straightforward style

*Star* Good mystery elements

WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED

*Halfstar* Some grammatical errors, particularly the need for commas in complex sentences (e.g. "As the newspapers described it later, there must have been..." / "Between the storms, she looked totally normal...")

OVERALL IMPRESSION

I thought this was an enjoyable mystery story that was effectively presented, with good character development, structure and pacing. With a little work on the grammar, I think this could be an excellent story, and it would be a pleasure to feature this item in the next issue of the official Mystery newsletter. *Smile*

WHAT WORKED


*Star* Consistent tone

*Star* Good structure and rhyme scheme

*Star* Great twist at the end

WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED

*Halfstar* Another stanza or two to really build up the suspense before the twist at the end

OVERALL IMPRESSION

Overall, I really enjoyed this poem. I thought you did a great job creating an entertaining tale that took the reader in one direction, and then surprised them with a twist at the end. I think a little more content would have helped establish the atmosphere a little better (and more effectively bring home the twist at the end), but other than that, this was a really excellent piece of poetry.

Hi Than Pence,

I'm sorry that it took so terribly long to get to the May round of Beyond The Water's Edge judging. The Talent Pond Tennis event had me booked up and I just completely forgot to get back to these entries. Unfortunately, there weren't enough entrants this round to award any places, but I did get a chance to read your story and I really enjoyed it. I thought you did a great job with the prompt, and really enjoyed the format of the letters. I am enclosing your consolation prize for the May 2010 round. I hope you'll continue to enter the contest, and I promise to finish the judging more punctually next round. *Smile*

Thanks for entering!
