Fic Talk > I Challenge You....

Engarde!!! The writing challenge's final chapter :O(

<< < (4/6) > >>

TheDistantHeart:
1) Name of the story you read and the author and what you feel the genre is. Your answer might be different then the authors. Love This Pain by myconfession (Karah). Genre: romance and drama.

2) Would you have ever read this story if it wasn't a challenge? Yeah, I've seen people talking about it on Twitter and AC about how great the story is and I was planning to read it someday. Glad I did! :)

3) What was your favorite scene?
Hmm.. I had to think about this for a while and I have two. The first one is where Nick and Avery went on a true date (the carriage was so romantic!) and the second one is where Nick punched AJ in the face LOL

4) Who was your favorite character and why?
Nick. I don't really know how to explain why. He's just such a nice (although persistent) guy and he keeps on fighting to make their relationship work. I also felt so sorry for him throughout the entire story and I tend to like characters I feel sorry for lol

5) Overall tell us one reason why you think someone else should/or shouldn't read this story.
People should read this story if they like a good romance with a good portion of drama but don't like reading a romance/drama that is more than 50 chapters long. If you really don't like stories with sad endings, then I'd say, don't. You're missing out on a great story though LOL

6) Did it convert you to the genre it is? Would you be willing to read another story just like it?
I already read romances and also Nick romances but lately didn't read much of it because sometimes there's either too much drama and not enough romance, or too much romance and not enough drama and I like a good balance between those two and this story was exactly that. It did make me more open for romances and I'm going to look up more of them. :)

7) Give one piece of concrit that might help the author for future reference. This can be positive too, concrit doesn't always mean negative.
It's really well written, not too detailed but it didn't leave out details either. It's not too sappy, the drama isn't too dramatic (although the end is pretty dramatic but that's nothing bad. Stories need sad endings too lol). Also, the characters were believable. They didn't do or say anything that is unlike their character. It keeps you hooked and makes you want to read more. I don't really have any negative to say about this story. It's just really good!

8) This should be the question the author asked in their survey. Everyone's will be different.
The question was Do you think the sex scenes are too much for the story, even considering what you know about the characters by the end of the story? And no, I didn't think the sex scenes were too much. I didn't think there were too many and I didn't think they were described in too much detail.  

9) Would you recommend this story and author to another person? Why or why not
Yes, if you like a Nick drama/romance, you will definitely like this!

10) Out of 10 stars what would you give this story?
10

11) Do you think after you are done reading what's there so far (and you only have to read however many chapters are there when the start of this challenge was given) Do you think you will continue to read the story through to the end to see what happens to the characters? N/A

And for those of you reading completed stories, if there was a sequel, would you be curious enough to continue reading on? I don't think a sequel is possible for this one lol

TheDistantHeart:
1. Did you get regular feedback on your chapters from your reader? Hmm. No. On the story itself, there were reviews on chapters 1, 2 and 4 and then it stopped. I don't know why, might be because there wasn't much to review about but I'd liked reviews after chapter 4 too. Also thought there wasn't much feedback left in the challenge's topic either.

2. Did you respond to that feedback? This question is very painful because, no, I didn't. I can tell a thousand excuses and I could also quickly go to my reviews and reply to them and answer this question with "Yes I did!" but I won't 'cause that would look stupid. The only reason is because I forgot. *hangs head* I know. I suck.

3. Did your reader take the time and post about what they read in the forum thread? Not really.

4.  Do you feel like you got the amount of feedback you were expecting? To be honest, I expected a little more.

5. Was there anything that the reader of your story said that surprised you? Yeah, sort of. The bits about how confusing it was and that there was some repetitive information. I never noticed it but it's good to hear from a reader's perspective. I now wonder if my other readers thought the same but just never told me lol

6. Do you feel like the feedback you got was constructive and something you would use as a tool to help you out later? Yes! I have to be honest, the first time I read her survey I had to swallow and felt a bit, I don't know, disappointed? Because it was constructive but not really positive. That's good though! I'd rather want Sapphire to be honest instead of leaving things out. I just have a hard time reading criticism, whether that's constructive or not but that's why I participate in things like these; to learn to accept it. I do accept her advice and constructive criticism and I'm definitely going to do something with it. I read her survey again today and I don't feel the same way I did when I first read it. I'm glad she told me about the too much details and POVs. I was already planning to rewrite it and now I know what to change. :)

7. Overall did you think this was a positive experience? Why or why not? Yes. Finally there's someone who gives me constructive criticism. That helps me improve my story AND my writing skills.

8. Is there any question you have for your reader that you would like them to elaborate on? Don't have any questions.

9. Would you consider taking part in something like this again? Only when I have a story that's nearly finished or finished 'cause I realized participating with a story that's not even half finished isn't really working.

10. Do you have any comments for your reader or anyone in general who may want to read your story in the future? No. I'd rather have people not read it right now because it really HAS to get rewritten.

mare:
Yay Imke!! :)

Oh and everyone else, even if your reader is epically failing at finishing your story, please fill out the readers survey. It's really important to let them know how you feel like they did and how much it did or didn't impact you.

:)

Rose:
Finished! (Told you I wouldn't fail :P)

About to go do the surveys.

mare:
YAY Rose!

Okay Darby, Saka Steph who is on the forum now ans hopefully reading at the same time! And Mel!! You need to finish this. Poor 00Carter has two people reading it and both epically failing on it.
