I've been kidnapped and now I'm here?? on 3/12/2025 1:26:07 PM
Welcome, fellow procrastinator. I'd give you some recommendations, but maybe tomorrow. ...I think the others have got some good recommendations, already. If you want to do some searching for yourself, the top rated of each category is always home to good picks. Otherwise, you could go read some newly created stories and make the author's day with a review, or something. Hope you enjoy your time on the site.

Thunderdome: Valentine's Match on 3/8/2025 8:52:56 PM
Maybe I'm just used to bad thunderdome stories and bad writing in general (cough cough my contest entry), but I was pleasantly surprised first reading story A, as I found it to be quite solid. Not many complaints, other than the narrator perhaps handing a little too much to the reader, too easily.

Story B was more faithful to the song, and captured the delerium and deterioriating mental clarity of the protagonist well. I found it to be a better entry than A.

I vote B.

Don't call me out like that I'll give them a read over later (not tomorrow)

Neat story, I found it to be pretty interesting. The flashback was well integrated into her final thoughts and everything seemed to flow together well enough. I'm reminded of a few videos I saw recently describing some pretty gruesome cave diving deaths. Unpleasant, but props for stirring up those memories.

I had vague ideas for it already, which is why I took it in that previous contest (and eventually relinquished it to you). I too hope I do well.
