This was freaking awesome. It's like the more and more I read from my fellow mibbians(you included) themore drive I get to write something a hoot. Great job yo.
When I first saw the banner, I literally went "Ooh" out loud xD and the background is pretty ace, too.
I like your style, hombre. You really paint a picture in my brain. It's like Picasso with words. xD and I know Goaty had to fan herself when she read this xD I admit that I kept scrolling to the top to look at him. I know she did too. LMAO!
Awh, I really liked it. Like the above commenter said, your sentences are complicated which is really nice. They've got a lot of words that flow very nicely together. And I'm adoring it. I don't know who these people are but I can tell they've got a really nice relationship going. It's short and sweet and romantic and I'm really liking it <3
I'm about to comment on your journal with my story >:D
Firstly: the rules. A link to my contest wasn't there, although, it wasn't necessary. The homemade layout was lovely, neat and easy on the eyes. The love I have of the main character is trying to eat through me into my words! Grammar-wise, you were tip-top, except from the odd grammatically error or typo, such as: "Despite the constant quivering ah his left hand".
The writing was superb. Your sentences tend to be very complicated, which is a sign of good writing, as long as you remember to mix them with the occasional short ones. If you don't, it may overwhelm the reader. You did very well in this, aside from when you described the Italian backdrop. It was a lot of description packed into quite long, loaded sentences.
The description was incredible. Out of all the brilliant sentences, I've chosen a favorite: "An idyllic city, where excitable vines and buds intertwined around the spherical stone basins, in which bloomed many ruby roses, creating a fragrant aroma". Just read it. Idyllic. Excitable vines. Many ruby roses. That was my favorite line: 'many ruby roses". Those little lines that paint such vivid, colorful pictures in your head - that was one of them.
Well done! Be sure to regularly check the contest page for the results.
I just peed my pants. I love Gerry. so very, very much. Oh, that Scottish stud. Woman, you should write me one. With...someone that I can't think of right now.
Anywho, you know how much I adore your style of writing so I don't even need to go into that. But anyway, it's incredible.
