Welcome to my profile! I'm Mousecore, or Mouse. They/them pronouns, not because I'm nonbinary but because I'm three mice connected by one hive mind. I'm predominantly a reviewer but at some point I might toss an entry into the library of published stories. With that being said, if you like my reviews and want me to take a look at your story, feel free to reach out and I'll get it done! My PMs are open for those who want to chat, or you can ask for my Discord since CYS PMs are so 2001.

Can't say I've ever seen one out in the wild. So I'm assuming the hobo drug cult was based on a true story, clearly.

I know the OP is pretty old but considering this is back at the top of the Lounge I'll also jump in. I consider myself probably a 4/8, which I elevated to from a 2 within the past year due to actually having a clean kitchen in my college apartment and not having roommates that were actively creating biohazards unlike last time. I know my way around homemade pasta, having lived with an Italian. A lot of my college meals were calorie-dense protein slop plates too since I was a powerlifter, but I've since improved by actually garnishing my plates and giving meat flavor that is actually good and tasty. I like to bake too but I'm more reliant on instructions for baking than I am for cooking. That shit is an exact science.

You know shit is bad when the nearest city has better rent prices than its surrounding suburb I live in.

Well it's nice to see that a story made its way out of WIP hell even if it took a few years. Nice work, man! I gave it a read and a thorough review. I really enjoyed it :)

As a Balkan, I agree.

This is a tough one, really. These stories tackled the prompt in two different ways but executed well both times. I liked the unique perspective in Story A - it's realistic to (what I would imagine to be) the sentiments of a dinosaur, with just enough anthropomorphic sentiments to prevent the narrative from getting dull. With that being said, being that dedicated to the animal perspective does rob the protagonist of some agency, but it was an interesting story nonetheless. I felt sympathetic for our wordless protagonist, and I think the author's effort to convey such emotion in a realistic animal character is commendable. Story B had a bit more meat on its bones. It does deviate a bit from the dinosaur prompt, playing more in the world of science fiction regarding imitating living creatures. There are dinosaurs being simulated in the story, but they are intangible, not dissimilar to our unfortunate protagonist. I liked the dynamic between Daniel and Callaghan a lot, and the story did a fantastic job of communicating the complex emotions of both in their circumstance. I really did struggle trying to pick which one I would prefer, because in truth I equally enjoyed both of them. Keeping the prompt in mind, though, I think my final decision is Story A. An amazing job done by both authors nonetheless.

Really nice work on this! I liked hearing about your adventures in Portland, I hope to make it out to the Pacific Northwest someday to see it for myself.
