 confuzed 2009-12-07 . chapter 1p.s: for soup of forgetfulness how about "Draught of Oblivion"
It will say that draught is not a word, or that it is the British word for draft(or on the strange occasion, Checkers). But Draught is indeed a word, generally related to alcohol (a draught of ale)and it is related to alcohol because it is used in the sense that they have drawn from the grain hops the flavor given to alcohol.
and Oblivion is just a fun word to say. =] |
 confuzed 2009-12-07 . chapter 2Hallo my fellow authoress =] I figured I'd swing by and return the reviewing favors.
I love the original idea, I've read tons of goddess's pairing up in Inuyasha, but never one in Harry Potter. I'm excited to read the rest!
That being said here is my constructive criticism:
The cat purred and looking up at the man’s face, seemed to contemplate something, before swiftly licking the man’s face.
This sentence has *drawing a blank on real term* but your verb endings don't match. Ei: if one ends in -ing so should the others.
The cat purred and looked up at the man's face, it seemed to contemplate something, before it swiftly licked the man's face.
Or
The cat was purring and looking up at the man's face, seeming to contemplate something, before swiftly licking the man's face.
The second thing I found was:
Walking quietly over to the wolf and petting its head slowly, the woman began to hum lightly as the wolf continued to see.
I think you meant sleep to be the last word.
and the last thing was...
As first light broke through, the wolf began to change back into the man, and woman stared before healing the man, after making sure the man was still asleep. After finishing and looking over the man,
This sentence is a run on. It should end after 'into the man,' the next part has more verb tense confusion. I also think you're missing a 'the' in between 'and woman'. I would try and rearrange that whole sentence though, it doesn't flow that well.
something like:
The woman stared for a moment and then checked to make sure the man was still asleep before she healed him.
If you do it somewhat along those lines it also eliminates the repetition of 'After'--which there is nothing wrong with the repetition of the word 'after', or any word (other than 'very'), it helps the prose flow more fluidly.
Sorry if my criticism seems picky. I'm honestly just trying to help, but if it bothers you, just tell me to be quiet =]
Good luck on your finals my dear, I look forward to your updates! |
 xoJaymexo 2009-11-05 . chapter 1as a whole, i liked it a lot! i can't wait to see where you go with this. it seems really interesting. ;) on thing though--it might help if you don't put as many (...) in, because it disrupts the flow of reading, for me at least. just a little hint! other than that, i liked it a lot. it was exceptionally agravating, which is normal (and good) for a prologue. so, good job! |
