Your writing is different from most I read and I feel like you can take any challenge and write any prompt easily. Not once I looked at the prompt you were given and thought that it sounds stupid and just can't be good but you proved me wrong every time. This is something that I really admire in authors.

[bellemelody]

Thank you very much :)
The prompts I love writing sometimes are unusual and silly XD XD thank you for your words :)

Your writing is hm quite oryginal one. I like it a lot, but somehow I have the feeling you need work on a characters feelings. You have great plots and dialogues but describing things is still in need to practise... anyway it doesn't mean that you're bad writer! Because I am loving you fics!

[bellemelody]

Thank you :) will work on it :)

From your fics, I can see that you're actually trying really hard, but I sometimes can detect some sense of insecurity in the way you write. Like you weren't sure what certain characters are supposed to feel, and thus it ended up dragging the pace a little and thus it made readers feel like you're taking a long time to reach a point. Please don't take this as bashing, because I definitely don't mean it as such. I feel like you sincerely want to improve and I feel like with just a little push, you can be great.

I agree with you and thank you for telling me. I think I must think better about characterizations :) sometimes I catch myself when I try to figure out what does my hero feels in this moment. I must maybe just try better to understand it myself. Thank you :)

The crit: I think you could sometimes be more careful with certain types of mistakes, like dropping the s on third person singular verbs. In your longer stories, you also sometimes explain too much, or explain several times, about characters' motivations and backgrounds, which slows things down too much for my taste.

The rest: you have amazing narrative juice, a lot of fresh ideas, your plots are a joy to read, and you have a true gift for humour (not just crack, though also crack). I always look forward to what you come up with!

[bellemelody]

This S is my curse!!!! But I must fight it :|||||||||

Sometimes I afraid that if some moments are very clear for me, for reader it can be different and that's why I made such a mistake. I received comments when readers asked me to make clear some moments.

Thank you very much for concrit and for the rest ^^ too :)

You Akame "Where we Belong" is one of the best fics I´ve ever read, you are an amazing authors, please continue making such wonderful long stories!!^_^

[bellemelody]

thank you very much!!! I'm very happy to know it :)

I sometimes feel that your fics are really good and some that doesn't really capture my attention. For example, the fic "I was waiting only for you..." that was really good. It really captured my heart. However, I couldn't get the feel for the mermaid one. I am sorry if I can't explain in detail why that is so. I guess this isn't constructive criticism, but just my opinion.

[bellemelody]

"I was waiting only for you..." is my fav fic and I'm glad you like it.

That can be personal preferences, because this fics are very different.
If you will tell me more I will understand it better.

thank you for your opinion. :)

Your writing is great, it's so full of originality and fun! I never know what to expect when I start something you wrote, and I like that. You write about pirates with weird ships (or should that be weird pirates with ships?) and about adorable sheep and it's wonderful. I just wish you would get yourself a beta to tidy up your grammar a little, then your stories would flow even better.

[bellemelody]

thank you very much for your words, I'm very happy you like my fics.

I never post my fics without beta. If you find some mistakes, tell me please.
I always send my fic to my beta and post only after this.

Thank you :)
