<< < (8/45) > >>

Sorry that you felt that way. It just came off a little harsh that's all. Like i told you i had never gotten concrit. I didnt know how to take it. It did upset me a little because the story was submitted as a fun read. I didnt think anyone would give criticism so i didnt ask for it on
that story. So if i wasnt clear i apologize. You were just doing the challenge the way you normally would and i am not angry at you for it. I will take your suggestions and tips into consideration.

Story: As You Are

Person reading it: Steph

1) When you found out this person was reading your story what were your initial thoughts?

I felt like this would fall pretty well within Steph's comfort zone as she is one of the few people other than myself to tackle historical AU as of late. Plus, I knew she would leave honest feedback.

2) Did your reader leave you an adequate amount of feedback and was it helpful to you?

She left plenty of feedback on every chapter! It was definitely nice to read and engage in discussion about the story but there wasn't much there by way of suggestions or concrit. Reading her final survey with the answers to my question was most helpful. :)

3) Did you find yourself going back to read your story as a result of the feedback?

Nope, I know how it ends lol

4) Do you have any questions for the person reading your story?

I asked my questions in my feedback replies and Steph answered them in her final survey!

5) Overall did you find the experience a good one or a bad one?

Good! I was happy to get another set of eyes on a story I've always been unsure about and it was nice to hear from someone I have a lot of respect for that she thought it was good.

Sorry for the lack of concrit but it didn't need anything added or taken away in my opinion, it was a story I enjoyed a lot :)

I guess if anything that is concrit, just the positive kind!

Halfway there survey (Only to be completed once you have gotten at least halfway through your story)

Name of story: Stockholm Syndrome

1) Are you finding it easy to follow plot wise? I would say yes. 

2) So far who is your favorite character and why? Nick because he is the one I've learned most about so far.

3) Are you getting a sense of how it will end and if so, any guesses? (Sometimes authors get a kick out of seeing what a reader thinks will happen and how predictable they may or may not be) no but I like to be surprised. 

4) Do you feel like the summary the author gave accurately describes the story you are reading? Would there be anything you would include or omit? Julilly is a great writer so no.

5) Has there been any big surprises/plot twists or just overall observations? I wasn't expecting Kevin to be included in the story or Brian to be a jerk.

These are the harder questions, but don't be afraid to answer them. Remember we all signed on to this knowing and expecting to get and give constructive criticism.

6) If this wasn't a challenge story and you didn't have to continue reading, would you have stopped already? If so please explain why. I love the story so far so no I wouldn't have stopped reading.  If a story is really good little makes me stop reading. 

7) Has there been any glaring errors that have stuck out? (I'm not talking about the occasional missed period, typo or spelling/grammar errors but huge mistakes that need to be pointed out that the author might not be aware of) No 

8) Do you have any questions for the author in regard to the storyline, characters or plot? Where did you get the idea for this story?

julilly:
^ No one ever expects me to put Kevin in stories lol so when I do, I make his role small! :P

I don't really remember if there was a specific "ah-ha!" moment when I came up with the idea for this story. I was in the process of writing a couple other crime-related stories, one about a bank robbery and one about a murder, at the time. I remember the kidnapping  storyline was very popular when I wrote this one (which would have been about 10 years ago!) so I decided to flip the boy-gets-kidnapped around to boy-is-kidnapper because anything is possible in AU!
