Okay, finished reading all entries and as usual I've got a little something something T-flow: good choice of diction, impressive narration and dialogue, consistent plot. The opening paragraph was bulky, some copy and paste work? Please endeavour to keep the opening paragraph catchy, precise and punchy. Numerruno- Me thinks your story lacks a definite sense of direction and the plot inconsistent with so many characters that do not have clear-cut roles. I advise that you concentrate on and develop very few characters if you get to the next round. Oma4u: hmm, it felt like i was watching a flick from 'yollywood' (the yoruba version of the nollywood ). Anyway, the proverb coloured dialogues suit the epic piece I.e. Good dialogue, good spacing too, but the length! Did you word count? don't forget you have to always work with the rules of the competition. That all criticism i have, will be dropping my best five soon.. |

**clears throat*** Erm **Adjusts bow tie to allow him breathe well** I think the short stories posted so far should at-least make FrontPage na.. That should be enough compensation for those who put in effort to write something down.. I hope this isn't too much to ask,considering the fact that this is also a competition no matter how small it looks.. The 15contestants will be gingered/motivated by the Negative and positive comments they'll receive from a larger audience.. Mynd,do something.. .. .. All izz well! |
