Sample Critique: Written Works

story by veelah
Excerpt:

Jaejoong's eyes glistened with an unimaginable ferocity as he tightened his grip on Junki's neck. The dazzling flames his face and seared his light skin. If it had been someone else in the Magician's place, they would have begged for mercy. But it was not someone else.

Junki chuckled between coughs. "You are so hurt, brother. I can't die. You should know this as well as anyone."

Jaejoong released his brother and initiated the symbols to decay the body. "This little fact is the only thing keeping you alive. I would have fed you to Death a long time ago for plotting against me."

"I still do, you know... behind your back." His lips began to melt off his face. His eyes rolled out of its sockets. The pain must have been great, but he showed no signs of suffering as his body liquidized in the smoldering heat of a glass maker's furnace. Behind the wheezing and the crackling, the Magician had his last laugh.

"And for that, you deserve a proper lesson." Jaejoong withered the unrecognizable pile of molten flesh with his eyes. "Empress!"

At the sound of its name, the tarot card slipped through the black portal and transformed into a woman of diamonds. Her body was cover in nothing else. Its shimmers reflected beauty, health, and abundance while her eyes revealed another face. A selfless kindness only a mother could hope to possess.

She gazed down at the pile of flesh and knew exactly who had caused the master's grief. The Empress reach out with a tender touch, and the rabid flames returned to the oblivion from which it came.

Chapter 10: Thank you for the critique, though this review was confusing as heck because of the layout I still was able to grasp the reviewers' insightful notes. Clinged should have been clung (obviously). I use google doc so it should automatically have a spell checker but it only checks to a certain degree, as you can see most of the time it doesn't catch . I don't plan to change "In the decades of 1800..." - maybe I'll write it as "In the 1800s" but - personally, I feel - yeah it's what you may find in a textbook; however, referring to a dynasty makes me feel I should now write accordingly to a specific non-fictional time period. And that's something I don't want to do.

I'm a very, in fact overly, descriptive writer and it's something I just naturally do. If I cut it down then I get this feeling that my readers wouldn't get the full picture I wanted to paint for them. But I will practice being even less descriptive (no lie, if you saw/read "Concealed Identity" some month ago you would want to strangle me). Thank goodness you for bringing up the formal and informal thing. I went back and forth with it so much I still don't know whether to keep it formal or informal. But when I get it figured out I'll go back make those changes. Overall I took a lot away from this 'discussion', even if it doesn't look like it. Thank you for being so quick with the review.

Ann - be prepared for some dense stuff in "Camellia On Top". I'll keep you in mind and try to make it less dense than "Concealed Identity" but no promises >_< due to the same reasons above.

Chapter 6: Dafaq. Hahahaha. There are Jose Rizal's minions here omg. Lol, I tried looking for reactions regarding the end part of the story but okay I had fun reading this. The story's trigger warned hence the 'subs only' so I really have no choice regarding that :)
The excerpt reading was quite nice, lol. I tried my best. XD thanks for this though.
