Tortured Something Senseless

It's a cute idea, which you handle well! -
The Unrequited Shit Stings
carringtonrj commented on AnytaSunday's story chapter in The Unrequited Shit Stings
You have such a lovely way with words - I'm rather entranced. Here there's "A smile quirked his lip." And I meant to highlight the phrase "His him-ness" in The Promise - really fine writing, prose-poem-ish. Hope you don't mind me bombarding you with reviews. I like to take a chance to be positive about things I like. -
You write really well. I'd certainly read anything of yours, based on what I've read so far. You have such a facility for conveying action and character, and you conjure up places so vividly. But, hey, you know this already.

This is just a Lugh prompt
carringtonrj commented on Mark92's story chapter in This is just a Lugh prompt
Sweet! Nice that you're so in love and want to shout about it! -
You structure the story with such expert control and yet you do not sacrifice any immediacy or emotional involvement in doing that. A great little story. Love it. And, yes, respect for having a happy ending: makes the journey worth while.
-
Really good. You write so surely and precisely. Haunting story. May give me bad dreams! I mean that as a compliment!

[Jian Sierra] Flash Story Collection

To me your writing is really expanding and developing. Hope that doesn't sound patronising. But I really like what you're doing with these shorter pieces. -
Ahem! Hot stuff. Whoops, I typed "hot stiff" first - might be more appropriate. I think my typing is going to pieces here because of the aftershock of reading such sexy stuff! Boy, you can write!

Great chapter - a chase sequence! You have flight in the mix as well of course. How scary would it be if cats could fly. They'd do bad things with that power, I think. I love the way a cat will just look at you and size you up and kind of say: OK, you can stroke me if you really want; I don't care at all, of course, but I might just circling round your leg until you do. Not that I need you or anything, but if you don't stroke me, I might just start whining a bit, just because ... Not cos I need your attention. Hey, I could take it or leave it! They do fake nonchalance so well. Anyhow, it justs get better, your story. And it's original. New. Different. Looking forward to more.

Great pace and energy and interesting hints here about who are cat is or what's so important about him. You inject the peril precisely. And you deal with pain so truthfully - though I can guess where some of that comes from! Still wondering exactly where we're heading - which is a good thing, of course. You sure can write.

Aren't we all part cat? Especially boys - stopping out all night, coming home for attenion, but happy to give someone the brush off, just to remind them what a free spirit we are. Getting cream from every house in the street! I'm a softy really: getting emotional watching Christian the Lion on youtube. Love the way he hooks his paw around his old friend's leg. Big cat. Pussy cat really. Again: that's the boys for you! Gotta read the new chapter now!
-
I've been really enjoying this story. Nice to be on something from the start. The fun you're having with it really comes through in the writing.
-
Messed up people! But powerfully realised. You have an interesting imagination, for sure.
-
It doesn't get less harsh, huh?
-
Real, I suspect, in a sad, awkward, troubling way. But you write very powerfully, with some fine touches of language.
-
Hot and harsh!
-
Weirdly interesting, and troubling too. The sex is good. The emotions are harsh! You do "twisted" really well.
-
Nicely developed, but I get a feeling something bad is about to happen!
-
Extreme! Sexy, but disturbing too. An interesting beginning, with lots of possible complications and emotions suggested. You leave a lot ambivalent, which is great. You write very powerfully, and the mixed emotions add subtlety. You leave this reader, anyhow, unsure what to feel, which is a mark of interesting writing, I guess.
-
Sweet. Why did this sort of thing never happen to me? I do like these little tales of yours.

Nice moment, smartly captured. I like these little slices of life. -

Some affecting images here. Imaginative language work. You write well and with an original perspective. -
#47 The Frog Prince (Heinrich)
carringtonrj commented on Dolores Esteban's story chapter in #47 The Frog Prince (Heinrich)
Nice twist. Good to see the Prince not getting things his own way for a change. -
Well put. I used to have problems sleeping but not recently. I wonder why! Finally happy, maybe! Anyhow, you have a way with words. Respect!
-
You write well and should post more - in my non-expert opinion! I liked this.
