YAY REVIEWS *flails*

[hider=Latum Alterum]YOU STINK, LOSER.[/hider]
[hider=Alternate Dimension]I normally suck at commenting on poetry, but I'll try here. You know what the most unsettling part about this poem is, for me? It starts with "Have you ever..." It makes a connection to like you would understand, and then slowly, horrifyingly, everything falls apart and you are delved into madness and screams. Instead of just watching the horror from a distance, the poem reaches forward, grabs you, and delves the reading into it too. [/hider]
[hider=The Unknown Heroes]You know, I've come to love reading your stories. They're all very original, often with lore, and lovingly crafted and, as Dark Wind said, cute. This story was no different. As for fitting in with the theme of the contest, this story definitely fits. The idea of going back in time to stop a calamity from happening and has interesting implications. Some stories, as you may have heard of before, often have the time travelers "disappear" as some paradox-correcting rule. But keeping the heroes alive was even more interesting. Only Mikhal and Trevor know the true ...reality? It happened,
 though at the same time, for everyone else, never happened at all. And of course, no one would believe them. Still a very interesting and delightful story to read.[/hider]
[hider=Shattered Realities]I am an idiot. I thought I had read your entry, and then I saw Dark Wind's review, and I was like... Morpheus project? Horror? What? And then I realized I hadn't seen the final hider. Whoops. So I re-read the entire thing.

Definitely... chilling. Weird, but in a good way. An original idea, and just... all around... unorthodox? It's written in a form that I've never encountered before, to start. The repetitions and progression are powerful. Hmm. Well done. There are a few typos and the writing was a little hard to follow at times (perhaps for my lack of scientific knowledge), but the overarching truths and themes remain. This reminded me, at least at first, of the [i]Pendragon[/i] series, book four I think with the virtual reality simulator Lifelight. I read it a long time ago and I think there was a nightmarish element in the book, but you took a whole different sick approach. Bravo.[/hider]
[hider=The Six Truths]Well, I don't know about you, but Supernatural Western is not a genre I've ever seen before. You definitely wrote an interesting story within an already interesting genre. To me though, the only "Western" parts about it were Adrian's boots and spurs, some dialect, and the American Southwest paradoxical desert-next-to-snowy-mountains terrain you described, so I honestly think this could have been set in any small town. But okay, that was a [i]huge[/i] nitpick and just a thought of mine. The story itself is spun nicely and well-organized and of course, with latent themes woven within. As for the "reality" bit, for me, Adrian's true nature is what I think is called into question. Destiny wasn't as big as a factor for me. I don't know why, I mean, you know me. Why bother commenting or arguing on something which we cannot prove or disprove? Alas, I really liked your story. You're certainly getting good at this whole storytelling thing.

[hider=In-Between-Box]My favorite part about this was the dialect, and the fact that the narration was written in that dialect as well. It gave everything a singsongy Scottish charm. While unfinished,
 I see some interesting potential with the story, especially with interlocking realities and intersecting timelines. If this is a book/novel you're working on aside, I say keep going! So far it seems quite intriguing.[/hider]

No vote yet. I must ponder. And brood. And also eat dinner.

Also, I don't know why, but my computer keeps putting random line breaks in my writing. Sorry about that. Smh.
