Winter Weather - Comments

Dribble Me a Drabble Contest: I absolutely love the layout. I hadn’t thought of this picture as a wintery one—for some reason I thought the snow hazing the photo was glitter (I wondered how that was possible, but I went with it)—but this is lovely. I really like the snowy background; it matches the photo wonderfully. Nicely done. The only think I can think of to make this better is the title. It’s nowhere to be found! Several of the stories I’ve gotten are like that, and I’m not really sure how you all are doing it (changing the title size to 0%?). I think a silvery gray, cursive title under the photo would look really nice, though.

I like the way you led into this story, starting with some of the clichés of winter and then making it unique by explaining its role in Avery and Matthew’s lives. I also like Avery’s properness in not wanting to spend the night. The rarity of morals like that makes it even sweeter. And her calling Matthew a cheese ball made me laugh out loud—brownie points! I would melt for a guy whole sang “Baby, it’s cold outside” in my ear! Their whole relationship is just very cute and sweet. You showed that well in so few words. You have a few good adjectives thrown in there, too—always a plus for me. Nicely done.

Requirements Met: 500 word cap, word count on summary, link to contest in summary/author’s note, photo in layout/author’s note, readable layout, grammar and spelling

Brownie Points: evoke emotion, original layout

This was definitely sweet, but I don't see how the story matches with the photo aside from the cold. The first paragraph was super word-y and could've been cut down a considerable amount. There are so many words in just that second sentence that I find myself getting lost in what you're actually trying to say. Also, during the proposal I feel like the male would be a bit nervous. His proposal comes out almost too perfectly. Not even a pause or a hesitation. Otherwise, nicely done.

I liked this. I liked how detailed and romantic this was and how you described the story.
At first I thought it was going to be about a story. The ending was cute.

How does this not have a bajillion comments from mibba users expressing their complete adoration of this piece? It so deserves it. Really, this piece is gorgeous. It was all kinds of cute and fluffy and lovely and then some. c: I really, really enjoyed reading this because now I have this warm fuzzy feeling in my heart, gigglys. You did a really, really good job. c: <3
