[PI] ULTIMATE WORLD - FEB CONTEST | I enjoyed this story. Until the final parts I actually saw a lot of different directions the story could go - which kept me really interested the whole time.

[PI] ULTIMATE WORLD - FEB CONTEST | I enjoyed this, but I do think it could be improved. The dialogue sounds a little unnatural at times, but I suppose that's fitting considering the setting.

[PI] Dream Evil - FEB CONTEST | I enjoyed it. I thought you did a good job of portraying Brett's descent into lunacy, and the plot was interesting. There are a few typos and awkward sentences though, It could've done with a bit more editing.
Also, how do you pronounce Seath? | 2 | 0 | 13 | 22,579 |
[PI] Dream Evil - FEB CONTEST | I thought the story was a really neat idea! I too would like to see more motivation for Seath, and more realistic female characters, but I thought the pacing was done well. Good luck in the contest! | 1 | 0 | 13 | 22,580 |
[PI] Dream Evil - FEB CONTEST | Hi, I enjoyed this work! I liked how it touched on patriotism, censorship, and the loss of the individual. I would have liked more instances of interaction between Brett and his wife. Also Seath is an interesting character (as most villains are) and I'd like more from him if you decide to make this a longer piece. Good... | 1 | 0 | 13 | 22,581 |
[PI] Dream Evil - FEB CONTEST | Hey there! Just got through reading your story. Great job, I love the whole idea. You've got a very good plot here, one that could even extend to a full novel if you wanted to.
As for some constructive criticism:
It could use some grammar work, but all you need for that is a basic reread and edit.
Also, the end when ... | 1 | 0 | 13 | 22,582 |
[PI] Dream Evil - FEB CONTEST | Hello there.
I first want to say I love the idea of an evil office team somewhere that writes people's nightmares. I'm just picturing the water cooler conversations in that office. It must be insane.
But seriously, the concept is really intriguing, and I liked the themes of consumerism and madness that were present i... | 3 | 0 | 13 | 22,583 |
[PI] Dream Evil - FEB CONTEST | Hello.
I really enjoyed the story. I think you have some great ideas, and I like the direction you took with the title. I also felt that you did a good job of ramping up the tension as the story went on, especially as Brett procrastinated his writing and then panicked about never being able to catch up. I'm pretty sur... | 1 | 0 | 13 | 22,584 |
[PI] Dream Evil - FEB CONTEST | I enjoyed this story. This is a great idea and certainly deserves some expansion. My only note is that it would have been nice to learn Brett worked for the government earlier on - I was under the impression he worked for a private business at first.
Anyways, just wanted to say this was a good read. Good luck! | 1 | 0 | 13 | 22,585 |

An end that is actually a beginning. [WP] | The sound of the shot being fired seemed to scream in the hollow room. “How could you?” she cried, as she tried to reach through the bindings for the body. “Murderer!” she spat. “I didn’t have a choice!” He shook his head, “I didn’t, I didn’t!
