 poetintraining576 10/6/11 . chapter 7PLEASE UPDATE!
I'm a huge fan of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, and this is such an original, unique interpretation of the books. Honestly, I love this, and I think (in fact) that the manuscript is so original, that if you revise it some, you could easily submit it to be published.
I really hope you continue this story, because I am absolutely in love with it. I have really high standards for fan fiction, and I don't think I've been this passionate about a story for a long time, which means that the story and the writing are very good.
Your fantasy novel is so believable... plausible, I guess would be a better word... and Alice/Wendy/Gwen and Hatter seem like believable people.
Two critiques: I'm guessing you don't have a beta because some of your punctuation is off, and there are a few things that could be edited. So, to make your story even better, I would recommend that you either edit your chapters more closely or you find a beta who knows grammar/mechanics flawlessly.
Second, I'd really like Alice/Wendy/Gwen and Hatter to be a bit quirkier. We've talked in Creative Writing how characters with idiosyncrasies are most believable, and I think you could play those up a little bit more in the two protagonists.
Other than that, though, the plot is interesting and quite well-paced (there's almost always room for improvement in any piece), the characters are believable, and the story overall is VERY engaging.
GAHHH! Just please update soon. I would love to read this story to the end! :) |
