What Do You See?

Story:  What Do You See?

Author:  creexs2

Synopsis:  A look into the lives of SHINee through the perspective of their manager.

Genre:  Drama & Angst

Group:  SHINee


Title:  5/5- Works

Description/Foreword: 10/10- I liked both. They were to the point with a few lines setting the general tone of the story. 

Originality/Creativity/Plot:  30/30- I really liked the idea of a manager tell-all about the boys, and their side of the story. While it's not a novel by any means, it is an intriguing and different approach to fan fiction that I've seen here on AFF. Woot! Cookies, and a glass of a milk for you.

Writing Style/Format/Grammar/Punctuation/Spelling/Vocabulary: 20/30- I loved the format. The chapters are sectioned as in the thoughts of the manager regarding each member.My only suggestion would be to get rid of the Korean words. I understand it's kpop fanfiction, but their actions are described through English, so I really don't see the need for deh, hyung, pabo, and all that jazz- I could give the honorifics a pass, but why say deh, and not yes?

Another tiny suggestion would be to consider using synonyms for some words that are repeated within the same sentence. They could be seen as redundant, so I would phrase them in a different manner or use a metaphor.

 

Characterizations/Details:  25/25- I really think you did a wonderful job. I wouldn't take anything out of it, or add to it.

 

General Comments:  Overall I have to say I enjoyed this. I didn't expect it to be good seeing that it was Shinee but I think you really delivered on your promise to keep it short, and interesting.  I thought it was very unique- you had an idea, and it panned out well. Congratulations! I'd definitely recommend.

 

Score: 90/100

Chapter 8: I got a little confused at first but that was because I forgot to read the first chapter, descprictionand the foreword. Otherwise, I loved it! Somehow it managed to make me cry. All the lovely members or SHINee, all with their inner turmoils, with their insecurities. Well done.
You write soooooo well.
I love your writing style.
Hope you write many more!
Fighting!

Chapter 6: Wow! This is probably the closest to reality I've read here on AFF. It's very heartwarming because it feels like it's not far from the truth.
I love how you matched the personas SM has made for them to who they could really be offcam. Kudos! :)

I read 'What Do You See?' And I had to leave a comment/rant, because you see, your story... it broke my heart.
Everything was so well written and this is the type of story I just LOVE to read.
it reminds me of movies like 'Hugo' and 'Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close' and I just fell in love with how everything was portrayed. How everything comes together and it hurts me to know that we're the cause of their pain whenever some scandal comes out- we believe too fast and get angry too fast.
What inspired you to write such a story?
