@jennythefaun
I…I love that.
I’ve got a soft spot for Victorian London, so that grabbed me right away.
The details, the word building, the prose…very good. Excellent.
I’m reading this on my phone, so I’m not sure how over the word count we are, but I think there are little things that could be trimmed rather than big chunks. I think cutti…[Read more] -

@kb-writer
I LOVE the first and last lines. So cool.
I had read all your guys’ conversations prior, so I knew the detective was actually the murderer, so I really can’t tell you if the element of surprise was there for sure. I didn’t have any “eye roll” reactions where I thought it was too obvious though, so that’s good. I think maybe the part wh…[Read more] -

Hey guys! It’s time for another round of print wars! This time the prompt is to write a mystery.

Knaphello, Knaplingers!
As you’ve probably noticed, activity has been pretty low here. It’s the same with the other guilds.
That’s fine if everyone’s busy, but if it’s just because the guilds weren’t attractive enough…
Well, we should do something about that then.
