Howling Ozarks: The Completed and Revised Edition

So, I have issued some submission requests to <img class="avatar" src="a.deviantart.net/avatars/p/r/p…" alt="" title="Project-Expose" /> and <img class="avatar" src="a.deviantart.net/avatars/n/i/n…" alt="" title="Nine-Muses" /> <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/>

The time frame of your story is rather short, as only weeks passed 'til things were over. It was fast-paced too and definitely not the cliched ones I've read before with all that dawdling with self-conflict, minor character stuff and "fillers". You concentrated on the serious matter at hand yet kept things as interesting as possible, giving details superbly and engaging the reader to go on and finish reading. As I've mentioned a while back, you really have a great touch adding gore into your writings. Blood is blood; gore is gore. When someone hears about it, normally they get repulsed or scared. However, through your artistic touch, you make the flow of your story attention-grabbing, and it in turn makes whoever reads this have a good look on the genre and appreciate just how good it was placed. Well, I for one say that a werewolf story without gore is all too cheesy and incomplete. So, great job on the flow of the story, genre and time frame. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n…" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="334" title="Nod"/>

Second of all, the characters. To sum it up, they were nicely conceptualized and their backstories connect everything which make them what they are in the story. I'm particularly talking about Finley and James. :> All the reverse psychology thingies Finley pulled on Allen and that past James had. They connected the dots and sent your story rolling smoothly, rendering it to go with believable turns.

So yeah... I finally did finish reading Howling Ozarks. Man, you've got a bright future as a writer!

Perfect score for Impact~! Very high rating on Vision and Technique. In fact, I think all these are your forte. I'm putting 3.5 stars on Originality though. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a…" width="19" height="19" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="417" title="Sweating a little..."/> Maybe it's because I've watched seasons 1 and 2 of Teen Wolf, that's why I could picture the scenes of the major happenings on your story, characters and twists similar to the show. For example, Allen's rival, Finley was turned into a werewolf just as Scott's rival, Jackson, was turned too. Brianna and Allison both like hunting. Scott and Allen act like alphas and think of the society before themselves. And the twins Nathan and Ethan are similar to Stiles, imo. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a…" width="19" height="19" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="417" title="Sweating a little..."/> But like I've said a while back, this isn't like the cliched werewolf stories I came across before. Original and stunning!
