You, sir, are either a moron or a literary genius ... I'm guessing more of the latter ...

Interesting. I don't always understand the drabbles, but they're all very good.

I like :)

All the lines you write, all the words just seem so *right*, so perfect for their purpose, the descriptions and that. I just want to hoard them somewhere and re-read them until I ... er ... understand them totally. I, in my non-experience, love the way it all comes together and the lines intertwine and that, and I'm just talking jibberish (heheword) now so I'll stop, but nice work!

Agh. Just - Agh. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but even scanning the titles of your fics - they reek of pretentiousness. You could be brilliant if you only weren't so bloody snobbish. Who are you trying to impress? "Chalice of death's own wine?" I know you won't believe me, but that's really cliche. You've overloaded everything you write with adjectives. Even as poetry it would be sugary. Must your nouns be constantly modified with jewels? For that matter, must your adjectives always be Latin, and must your names always be Greek? You don't have to embellish every single sentence. It becomes overwhelming, and basically eliminates any impact a particularly poetical phrase may have had if placed within a realistically written fanfic. If you look at published books today, you'll rarely find anyone who writes in such an over-the-top manner. The reader would tire of it quickly. Unless they are also a wannabe elite, in which they would think it brilliant. Could lack any substance or plot, but throw in a lot of prep school words, and you'll always get a small and devoted following.

Now I don't like to apply this term lightly (or maybe I do) but you are, or at least seem - elitist. That's right. I'm terribly sorry to have offended you, but you do seem the type of person impressed by intelligence, money, education, breeding, all that crap. If Colfer had written his books in the style you are inclined to write, I guarantee he would not have found a publisher. It's just too put on.

You can proceed to disregard this and write me off as a ** if you like, but I'm saying this (yes, partly because I consider an inflated ego the scourge of the earth) because I really think you've got great potential, but it's being squashed by your insistance on writing in a way that is grating and unnatural. Real talent is making someone forget they're reading something make-believe, but in your stories, it's impossible to forget that someone has painstakingly thought out each and every sentence. Even Tolkien, whose elves often have an elevated way of speaking, never wrote like that. The elves sometimes spoke in a medieval-knight style, but his narration was natural and the hobbits and most other characters spoke normally. Even epic stories, when well-written, have a down-to-earth style.

I forget how old you are but I expect (I hope) you'll eventually grow out of this. I used to cram as many 10-word adjectives into a sentence as possible when I was younger, thinking it meant I was a good writer, but now I just cringe if I ever happen to read something I've written from that period.

Very good. Keep it up.

Absinthe is such sweet sorrow... *grin*

i hope this review works. i wz trying to rite one fer that other drabble u recently posted.. and i actually decided i'd give u critism as well as all my compliments so that i'd actually seem like i wz helping u rite stories and wznt sum bimbo spouting out words. but then the review didnt work and i wz very depressed and definately not in the mood to rite it all again.

besides that. theres nothign rong w/ the drabble. in fact it made so much sense and it circles nicely. and iv always liked the line 'never impossible but still highly improbable' i fergot where i heard it.

i liked how u stuck w/ god symbolism .. cupid/cherubic/wiser man etc. makes the relationship ethereal. turns them into the golden, godlike quality, therefore no imperfections. therefore 'trust' is not an imperfection. i hope thats wut u were hinting at. luv ur stories/oneshots as usual. and i really hope this review works this time.

these are great! prompt:sin

Artemis killed Juliet in this, right ? That insane bastard. :(
But why ?

Mm, this one really has a faery feel to it. Nice.

As always, you suggest without telling. Much more fun to read :) Also- *cheers for your grammar*
Ah- i remembered something from your last drabble. En Angleterre, we don't have kindergarten. Sometimes it's called reception class, though. However, Ireland is a completely different kettle of fish, so who knows.
I like that the funeral is 'the hottest day on record'. Nice :)

ooh. :)
I like the choppy style- lack of dialogue emphasises the elaborate descriptions. Last line very dramatic, links nicely to Caesar and his quote- lovely ;)

good... i keep thinking this is holly... why dont you write a longer ah based on this? this idea is just brilliant and i want to know all the details... update!

confusing, but i think i get it, im just slow. the comparisons are really clever, i would never think to compare artemis to a jester like that. good work, update!

bit long for a drabble, very good though. i love the repetition of 'he was silent', it really gets the emotion across. i like the ofc, too bad you didn't make this longer!
