Posted on Fri, 19 Aug 2016

This is great - the sense of unease is beautifully maintained, with Weasley giving the reader shudders and our concern for Kit growing all the time.  Excellent cliffhanger ending.  Please do keep posting more of this, it's so good.

Nice start to this.  I like the characters and the questions raised by the arrival of the 'cursed' ship.  The set up really holds together.

Posted on Mon, 01 Aug 2016

Not remotely a bit rubbish, but it does feel as though the ideas come tumbling out, and much better that way than the other.  In the end we all write for ourselves, or we should, because otherwise it isn't our true voice.  You have it harder than...

Hello!  Welcome to ABC Tales.  I very much liked the rhythm of this, and the contrast between the sound that seemed to be soothing and then became so frightening.  It felt like part of something longer - have you got any plans to expand it? ...

Posted on Tue, 26 Jul 2016

Hello!  I enjoyed this very much.  Beautifully constructed, and some lovely strong phrases like 'the yoghurty morning light'.  A mysterious and unsettling atmosphere with underlying humour.  A rewarding read.

I don't know what you're worrying about, Ewan.  Thousands will march, sweeping all opposition aside, in their quest.  Pikachu will save the world.  #WTF

Posted on Mon, 11 Jul 2016

I don't share your Christian faith, but I admire your honesty and ability for self reflection.  This struck a real chord with me because of what I have been calling a lot of demands on my time recently from people who need support, and it's easy...
