tbh, I'm not surprised you've written a one-shot about htis. One day you'll write one about Gerard being a Zombie that has a kitty and eats fish.
I think it was pretty imaginative, good ending, nice storyline. I think you should put a little more depth into the descriptions you make. Make the words really work with the scene.
I think one of your best one-shots I've read.
All-in-all, it was pretty good. Nothing too negative to comment about :mrgreen:
Just work on some of the descriptions and you'll be fine.
Your writing's improved quite a bit since I first started talking to you. Always a good thing.
While I did like this, to be quite honest, I think it's too similar in places. There was at least one line that was almost a direct copy from spy story (the wording was just a little different but the meaning was the same). The plot is pretty close, too. I don't mind you using the characters in these roles, but try to come up with something more different from what I wrote.
I did like the part about Gerard worrying about the mud. And you still have a 'then' instead of a 'than'. Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.
I like the ending, but I don't think it's quite as open as that earlier person would like to believe. If Gerard was going to go on a killing spree, I think he would bring at least another full clip of bullets with him instead of relying on whatever's in the gun at the moment. Kristen didn't figure it out at all. She says it's a bit confusing.
Overall, I liked it, but I think it was too close to spy story.
