I love this. It's so short but it's just so beautiful...

Wow, I do like it. I just feel bad about the reason I stumbled on it.
See I got a nomination for YOUR fanfic, apparently our names are really similar (Which now I see why they got mixed up since the only difference is you have a 's' in yours). It's called the Orion award or something like that.
Ps: I do like this though, it's short and cute. It also has a good ending.
pss: It really sucks getting nominated and then going "Wait... I never wrote a story like that" lol.

I am really terrible at writing reviews, so I will type just one word to describe what I think about it.

Beautiful.

I know many other people used that word already, but it is the only word I can come up with now. I love this drabble. ^_^

This is really beautiful. Personally, I think flower metaphors and 'flowery' description is overused in fandom, but you pull it of nicely. And it has a really nice kick to it, which, I'm told, is the point of a drabble - although I rarely pull it off with eloquence myself.

Now, a tiny pit of crit, which isn't really crit, as you didn't do anything badly:

"He is like the flower, in full chroma."

That comma annoyed me a bit; there's nothing *wrong* with it. But it disrupted the flow a bit for me,which was otherwise flawless.

"A petal slips between her fingers and drifts upon the silent pool before her."

Every word out of the 100 was put to good use except these. I don't know what the problem with it was... it just sounded a little forced in my head, like... description for the sake of pacing, if that makes any sense? Like, you were slowing me down with a bit of imagery.

Anyway, great work!

Absolute. Beautiful. Who is she? Invisible suggests Holly in mind, but Juliet has not been seen in the last books. Intestingly beautiful. Arrogant and dignified. I almost mock Artemis in his stupid pride. Anyway, awesome job once more!

Oh, so pretty. *sighs* Your final line there was just perfect.

One nitpick I've got I believe "He is alike the flower" is incorrect grammar - or at least it sits oddly in my brain. I think it should be "He is like the flower" or "He is alike to the flower" if you wanted slightly more flowery (pardon the pun) language - but that gives you another word, so :/.

But yep, I can definitely say you've got the idea of drabbling down. :) Have you come across af100, the LJ drabbling community? We have a new prompt every [s]week[/s] [s]month[/s] whenever someone feels like putting one up - and we'd love to see you there!

Nice work.

Oh, I like it a lot! Your language was really nice; it was desciptive but still precise, not too pretentious. The idea is quite clever, playing on the Narcissus/Echo myth. I would try to analyze your drabble a bit more, but I'd probably start seeing things that you never intended. That happens to me often, lol. Anyway, I think I'll add this too my faves. Yes, yes. *bobs head* Good job!

"He is alike the flower"

Not an expert here, but I think 'like' sounds better.

Otherwise, nice drabble. Don't have much criticism for it, and I think it was quite meaningful and sweet.
