Alexander Khri'pher by Draco Streaver (1)
"Hi, I was reading the second chapter of this and this one sentence sparked my interest: With no trace of emotion except for one tear rolling down the side of his muzzle, Trent whispered, �Of course I will Dolmen.� I have some questions about it: 1.When Trent's tear rolled down his muzzle, did it roll to the tip of his nose as he hung his head? 2. Dumb question, I know but how salty would Trent's tear taste on my tongue if I licked it directly from his muzzle? 3. How warm was that tear rolling down Trent's muzzle? A: Freezing ice cold B: Cold C: Warm D: Hot E: Scalding hot 4.Exactly how would Trent react and what would he say to me if I hugged him and licked that tear rolling down his muzzle with my tongue while rubbing his back to comfort him? I hope these questions aren't too weird, it's just that every time I read the part where he cries, I fantasize licking that tear rolling down Trent's muzzle while hugging him." -- CanzetYote, Escondido, CA, USA.

"Excellent stuff, It shows the face of suicide and what lenghts she took to avoid the healing process through communication... keep up the great work." -- sasu.
"hi um....your story is bloody hilaroious i dont know if you mean it to be funny but god it is i think the part when she has a wash because she doesnt smell clean is freaking funny as fuk anyway really good keep up all the hard work XD sharle xox " -- sharlene kumar .
"Im sorry I dont like your story...I had a friend commit suicide and joking about it isnt funny.. Although im glad your character decided not to do it...It's not worth it!" -- Isabella, Rome, Italy.
"Sharlene, yeah, it was supposed to be funny. Isabella, you don't have to like my story. But also keep in mind that I don't have to tiptoe around your feelings just because you had a friend off themselves. Tragic, sure. But you didn't need to comment saying suicide isn't funny." -- Riot.
"I like this story a whole lot because its almost like it came from a real book You add so much detail that brings the reader into the story. You should make a book sometime. I really think you would go far." -- Cara Spencer.
"i thought ir was funny make lots more!" -- lizzy, myob, myob, myob!.
"i thought your story was disrepectful!! many people kill themselves everyday and think about their families and if they read this, and your comment to issibella was extrememly rude...you should be ashamed" -- tilly.
"I thought the story was great and I do agree with Tilly that it was disrespectful. Also,I'm sorry to hear about Isabella's friend. I will admit that I have gone through this myself... minus the fact that I wouldn't care if I stank. Okay, I've attempted it 7 times. But, all I can say is YES IT'S A GREAT STORY but you shouldn't have intended it to be funny. It was offensive to me in some ways because of the fact that I'm struggling with problems that have to deal with my parents and stuff. So yeah, maybe you should write stories like this with a more serious or telling of a story intent. NOT TO BE EFFING FUNNY!" -- Miranda.
"How can you even think about joking about this topic? Suicide is NOT funny, and it's shouldn't be portrayed as something funny! It is deeply serious, and I feel sorry for you. Because you are obviously too damn shallow to notice that this story might hurt some people. Think about other peoples feelings before you make a joke about them! And this isn't even good writing!" -- Joseph.
"everyones whos tripping over the story.. RELAX its a story. she can write whatever she wants about any topic she wants. yeah suicide is a sad subject but its a story like relax take a deep breath and stop reading if your not interested. i have a friend who i feel contemplates suicide alot. it scares the crap out of me. but at the end of the day this story made me giggle. so relax and if your that offended go to the top right corner of your screen and hit the little x... simple as that" -- nikki, ottawa, ontario, country.
"its a really great story dont listen to them they're idiots ..dont take up the a$$ people its just a story and i agree with nikki hit the little x button" -- Ali, Los Angeles, CA.
"This was not funny at all it mocked people who've tried to commit suicide Lydia is just a fuked up bich who changes her mind over pizza!" -- Ihateyou, Romona, United States, California.
"Suicide is not a joke! And tilly is true. Your comment to isabella are effing rude! How could you say like that to her!?" -- eminie.
"This story is not constructive enough!!!!!!!" -- ashley smart, kingston, hamaica.

Sue Aside by Andy Kim (16)
"what is with everyone deleting reivews, if you can't handle them then why write on this site. This story isn't any good so delete before everyone else gives you the same shit reviews as i am. If this is any indication of your skills you can't write!!" -- Davey.
"hey davey: you need jesus in your life. i think someone needs a hug too? : )" -- andy.
"What do you mean i need jesus in my life, you are the one who choose to write a very shit, fucked up story about suicide. You abvioudly arent suicidal so dont write about it!" -- Davey.
"Although we are all entitled to our own opinion Davey could have worded that a little nicer. Despite his thoughts I quite enjoyed this piece :) good work p.s it was very mature and respectable the way you answered to him " -- Rebecca.
"1st off great piece of work Andy, it was a great read. 2nd of all, what bec said is quite true. 3rd of all, what Davey said is also quite true, if you cant take the heat... 4th of all. A immature response to Davey would have Been : "STFU U MORON SHIT, ANDY IS ENTITLED TO WRITE WHAT EVER THE HELL HE WANTS, AND AS THERE IS AN OPTION TO DELETE REVIEWS THAN HE IS MORE THAN ENTITLED TO DELETE ONE, SO ONCE AGAIN STFU u MR, ROFL, MF, DRB, SOB!!!!!" Enough leet for you?. Once again Andy, great work =D i loved it." -- Josh / Axey.
"i agree with josh and rebecca i think it was a great piece you only did what a writer does.i recieved a review recently like the one from this idiot.good answer by the way i wasn't so kind.josh basically covered all i'd care to say to that jerk.looking forward to reading more." -- Brian L.
"This piece of absolute diarrheoa is the most abominable short story I have ever laid eyes on. Please never write anything ever again for the sake of the literary community." -- Harley.
"I think I should've just imagined a story from your (unrelated?) title, and not read further. This almost makes me wish I had 13" of wood and steel nearby. I suppose it was a smashing success if, before you died, you wanted the rest of the world to suffer, like you." -- cameron.
"Dear Mr Sue Aside, I am writing in regards to your short story entitled Andy Kim, I was hoping you would clear up something for me. In the passage "placed my blood-covered hands on my heart" is this a metaphor or had you removed your heart with the steak nice, if you had done so please tell me how you did it, I've tried it a few times and it is nigh impossible. Sincerely, A. Reeder" -- A. Reeder.
"Oh...oh god. I just got the 'sue-aside' thing. It was so horrible I didn't want to understand it. The writer is obviously the world's lamest, or a genius." -- cameron.
"Wait, wait, I think I've found a plot hole. Why didn't the cops just use helicopters?" -- Harley.
"It says to be constructive, so first of all - congratulations on being able to spell. As for the actual story, I must say this was the worst piece of shit I've ever had to endure. I hope you actually are suicidal so you never write again, but it doesn't sound like you know the first thing about the subject. " -- uncool.
"Vey good story. Somehow the shortness of it helped." -- Bryan KIng.
"At first I thought this was about masturbation. I'm very disappointed." -- Christopher, Lake Oswego, Oregon, USA.
"this was the best story ihave ever read even better than that episode of cheers where the entire bar bands together to help a cancer patient and then the world trade centre falls on them becuase scrubs did a parody of them on HBO." -- Will.
"I guess I am getting old but I sure wish some of you kids would grow up. The only reason I could think of for anyone to write this stupid little "whatever it is" is to get attention. And that's exactly what little Andy Pandy got. Look at the number of reviews. I'm disappointed at some of you who would even consider encouraging Kim. Rebecca, who has written some pretty decent things, c'mon now - "it was very mature and respectable the way you answered to him." Stop being so goddamn touchy feely about everything. And Bryan and Josh, I'm surprised you would also offer encouragement to this little attention beggar. I thought you guys were sharper than that. The only problem with Davey's critique is that he can't spell. Christopher's review made the most sense. It did start out like he was talking about masturbation. Actually,the entire piece was an exercise in literary masturbation. You guys have entirely too much time on your hands. " -- Richard.


Slipping Away From Me by Josh Anderson (2)
"Like all the stories in this series I loved it :) glad you continued to write it " -- Rebecca.
"Thanks bec :). Glad u liked it." -- Josh / AxeY.


Mexican Soul by Steve Deutsch (1)
"Extended metaphor, man...allegory? I'm not sure of the term, not even after all these years of prep school. But I got halfway through before my education kicked in and I realized a taco is not a taco! The lettuce is not lettuce! We're all more than taco shells!...we hope...but I get it, I get it, nice message, unoppressively expressed... Wait, but what're the side dishes?" -- Maria, Washpa.


John Nikolaus by Tim Gorichanaz (2)
"Tim, I really liked this story. I normally don't read many shorts but this one took hold of me immediately and held my attention thoughout. I loved the way you tied in one of many reasons people sought America back when it was still a developing land. I loved the description of the cane and the fight scene in the pub! You should submit this in a contest for young high school writers. It would have a good chance of winning!" -- e. rocco caldwell.
"This is good." -- Shelly.


Homeland Ssecurity by Firsttime Story (3)
"Is this a novel? Have you submitted it to a literary agency or publisher, because if you haven't you definitely should? This is excellent, and well written! When you get the chance, go back over your story because I saw a few typos. Keep up the good work. " -- Alberta.
"Well written and paced, would like to see more about what happens to the children next. " -- Dennis .
"Thanks all, the next few chapters will cover the Kids and Jack. Suggestions are always welcome." -- Firsttime Story.
