[Feedback Post]

[wrong.livejournal.com]

To commemorate the 100th challenge at kh_drabble (as well as all sorts of other things), we'll be having this nifty thing called the Feedback Post. Basically, this is a cumulative feedback post, where people (both signed in and anonymous) can give feedback to any author. Basically, in order to participate in it, all you need to be is an author who has posted in this community before (because it's a feedback post, duh.)

For Those Who Want Feedback
1. Put your username down in the comments.
2. It is up to you, but I think it would be helpful if you put links to your latest drabbles. It is up to you, of course.
3. Do enable comment notification, because anonymous comments will be screened.
4. Do feedback to others too, especially if you like receiving your own feedback!

For Those Who Are Giving Feedback
1. Basically, general comments on their writing style, ideas, creativity? I know all of us here are authors, or at the very least, readers, so we do have an idea of what writing is like and how someone can improve. Even better, tell someone their positive points, because we all need a little ego boost now and then.
2. Slanderous reviews will be deleted. Just because it is anonymous doesn't mean that you can shoot your mouth any way you like. If people take advantage of it then anonymous reviewing will be turned off.

I hope that this would be useful and constructive to the participants of this community, but most of all, really fun as well.

So get to it!

(Oh, and if anyone wants to use this to feedback to the moderators about anything in the community, I suppose this is a good time as any to do so. Thanks.)

So that the idea doesn't fall flat on its nose. XD

I really liked how you can say a lot of things in very few words, which shows in your entries. It makes the story feel very tight and very focused, which is always a good thing.

I do think that your entry for [100] is not as good though, mainly because you probably felt constrained by the word limit, so you opted to go dialogue-only. Your attempt for dialogue is weaker, I feel, and it doesn't read as good as the other two drabbles that you put up.

I also went back to see your first few posts in the community, and I'm actually quite surprised to see how much your writing has changed? You mentioned that you are primarily an artist before a writer, but you definitely have a better grasp of description than you did at the beginning. (Your first entry was a little too...wordy and frilly for me, at least).

Thanks for the review. I was prompted to go back as well and read some of my older entries, and it is a little weird to read old stuff. Like I look at it now and get a little fidgety because there are things I want to change. I'm glad that my writing has changed, and in my humble opnion (lulz), gottten better. That was one of the main reasons I joined this community. At the time it was a smaller group of very talented writers, and by reading their things and continuing to write my own, I was hoping for improvement. Now I feel kinda overwhelmed by all the writers I don't know, who seem to be aiming to just win challenges as opposed to producing really amazing pieces. But I digress.

Again, thank you. My struggle with the English language continues! <3
