Description

Foreword

Can you believe i wrote over 14,000 words because of yixing's flower scene in lucky one

I got here from ms. Vanillasushi's recommendation. She's my best ever fave writer. And if she recommended it only means you're a great writer as well :)

Chapter 1: This was so long. Tbh I actually didn't think I'd finish it bc i don't read much boyxboy, and even if I do, I don't read xingdae... But I gave it a shot anyway and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! It's so ing cute, I love how Jongdae's constantly blushing, it's so fiuakfhgnkjfa!!!!!! And Sehun, oh my god, he talked so much... For the first time ever I was just "when will you ever SHUT UP" (in the most endearing manner though) but I thought all of the boys were so ing cute together!!! And when Jongdae thought Baekhyun was a second Sehun, I was just hoping he'd dump CY for Sehun LOL.... (Can you tell that i ship SeBaek ing hard even if I don't do exactly do shipping LOL)

Anyway!! I didn't think there was much to critique, your writing is almost perfect! I just thought that you should have made the text messages, and things a character said before but was not made a dialogue, look different from your usual font. It made things a little confusing, though still understandable and readable after a little bit of buffering. Usually italicising them would do the trick just fine :) Another thing was your ending, I thought it seemed like you wanted to extend it a little bit more but didn't want it to go on for too long either, but you're also trying to look for that perfect line to end on. I'm not sure if that's how you really felt but if you indeed thought that, I feel like just ending it on the maple syrup bit might have been a perfect ending. Though extending it a little bit more wasn't an issue, and it didn't make me like this story any less. I'm sure other readers feel the same. Also, I loved how this whole fic was kind of centred around flowers, it's really cute and very meaningful! Even until the end, you made sure to integrate some of those flower language! That's really all on the critiques, you really did a very good job, I wonder if you're a longtime writer?

Anyways, thank you for joining Blossom Roads! I hope you enjoyed writing this as much as I enjoyed reading it! It was honestly a joy! I was laughing so much, thank you for that! And I hope that through this contest, you'll be motivated to write more and to continue improving in your writing :)
