Wow, I truly love your writing! The first chapter caught my attention. Your imagery and descriptions are so great that I can picture everything very easily in my head! Can't wait to continue reading!
I really, really love this and I only finished the first two chapters! Your imagery was amazing. So captivating. I'm hooked! Your layout is cool too. I love the picture you have for it! Now, I'll be on my way to keep reading! I already can't wait for the sequel!
I could practically place myself into her position and imagine her world. The imagery was amazing and I was hooked since the first chapter. I honestly think this story was the best apocalypse story I read in ages.
(Good job on being the first entry to finish your story!) I really enjoyed reading this story. It was definitely different from most stories I read about the apocalypse. I honestly can't look at the squirrels I almost hit with my car in the mornings without wondering if they're secretly plotting to take over the world. Spelling and grammar was near perfect, besides a few minor mistakes that weren't all that life changing. So good job there. I started getting a little worried that your were going to go over ten chapters and I'd have to penalize you for it, but you didn't and that makes me really happy. The only thing I can think of right now is the pace of the story. I get that you were trying to fit all of that into ten chapters, and I know that it's hard, but a little more detail about Jared and Harley's relationship and about how the world had been taken over would've added a lot more to to the story. Just a tip for the sequel I noticed you're writing. Other than that, really nice job.
Just finished chapter 6 and I am still baffled at the perfect use of imagery you employ! It paints such a realistic image in my mind, her running through those tunnels and then bumping into jared. Their close escape, the webs nipping hungrily at their toes. And then being carried away by jimmy (who is a wonderful character that I adore and better not be dead) and glancing back at the red eyes of the spiders in the tunnels. Wow haha, that is so amazing I can actually picture it as a movie in my head! It's so well done! Now I must read on. And Jimmy's comment about going back for her, so cute!!
Rereading the whole thing again before I read the finale haha. (: I don't think I mentioned this before but I love that they were in a comic book store when hyenas are after them! Mostly because Harley and the Joker have pet hyenas! haha, whether that was intentional or not it's amazing (:
Also, I'm reading the 6th chapter right now haha, and I love that her survival mode turns on immediately! Harley is such a badass, and she's so damn intelligent! Which is especially remarkable for someone who has grown up in a world like that. You would think that new borns would turn into savages! Savages! Barely even huuuumaaan! The doc was one mighty fine teacher ;)
This is such an amazing story, and it's so original. You're a really good writer, and your descriptions are just phenomenal. Your characters are witty and realistic, too, which is the best way for them to be! Please update soon! :)
Oh no! Girl troubles! Haha distracted by a charming man : ') they better get together damnit! Or I will be super disappointed! You denied me of two happy ever afters in I am Here and Red's Heart! You better not do this shit to me again!
First off, I would like to say hello to my competitor. Haha, I'm also running in the same contest as you are with my story Stranded ^.^ so good luck to us!
On to the story.
My goodness, this is so original that I can't even begin to describe my love for this. The whole situation with the lion seemed so surreal to me that I actually believed that this was possible for a second. Your way of coating fear into the main character's frame was beautiful and mind blowing. Your sense of imagery makes everything so vivid that it is unbelievable. You are a wonderful writer.
