<p>Oh, and by the way, that&#8217;s fine if fancy dialogue tags are your thing. I totally understand because I used to use them a lot too! I was just suggesting what my writing teacher had pointed out. The reader won&#8217;t think you&#8217;re boring if you use &#8220;said&#8221; a lot since the dialogue, not the tags are the most important part. The tags are just&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-88303"><a href="https://storyembers.org/activity/p/88303/" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

<p>Whoa, that&#8217;s SUPER creepy!!!!!! &#x1f603;  SUPER COOL, though, thanks for sharing!!!!</p>
<p>A couple of comments:</p>
<p>1)  That scene where Wren yelled at the Smilers was a little confusing.  Why would she do that if she knows how dangerous the Smilers are?  I think it would be better for Gladys to freak out instead of Wren, because Wren knows mor&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-88276"><a href="https://storyembers.org/activity/p/88276/" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

<p>Ooh, it&#8217;s so creepy, but I love it! The ending is really powerful, and I love how you developed the theme of needing to be informed about the danger to know how to fight it. It reminds me of this quote by C.S. Lewis: “Since it is so likely that (children) will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and h&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-88269"><a href="https://storyembers.org/activity/p/88269/" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

<p>I’ll let you know if I’m free to beta read your short story—I have a pretty packed schedule at the moment.  I’d definitely be interested though!!! &#x1f603;</p>

<p>I think if you combined the first and second one to introduce Wren <em>and</em> the creatures, it would be more compelling.  I also like <a href='https://storyembers.org/members/zee/' rel="nofollow ugc">@zee</a> &#8216;s suggestions.  Amazing concept!!!</p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href='https://storyembers.org/members/vivian-grant/' rel="nofollow ugc">@vivian-grant</a> I read it. It was good, but I think you could make it more dramatic. Maybe more facial expressions?</p>
<p>And, I also think you hook the reader by putting in more stakes. What will it cost the man? Is this life and death? Loosing a fortune? You don&#8217;t have to give details, just give enough to make me want to know the answer.</p>

Unfortunately, I&#8217;m trying not to commit to too much right now as far as beta-reading and tons of writing projects, so I&#8217;m gonna have to back out of this one. If you don&#8217;t have a deadline, I can try to read it as I&#8217;m able, but we&#8217;ll see 🙂</p>

<p><a href='https://storyembers.org/members/vivian-grant/' rel="nofollow ugc">@vivian-grant</a> Actually a lot of people beta-reading for me aren&#8217;t on Story Embers, so I thought it would be easier to just do the same thing for everyone, since everyone has email 🙂 And I&#8217;ll post to my blog after the beta-readers have it 😀</p>

You really only have a few surface level similarities. Even the &#8220;sharing wounds&#8221; is more like &#8220;when the alien gets sick, the main character gets sick&#8221; in the movie.</p>

<p>First off, I enjoyed your story -thanks for letting me read it. 🙂</p>
<p>I do have a few suggestions:</p>
<p>#1 I feel like your story could benefit from more showing and less telling. For example, when Wendy is in the woods, instead of saying she&#8217;s scared, you could do something like: &#8220;Wendy&#8217;s breath became strained as they rushed further&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-76494"><a href="https://storyembers.org/activity/p/76494/" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

It looks like a download link from an email inbox, which isn&#8217;t going to work for anyone not logged into your account. Most people around here host on Google Docs and then use the link sharing function in it.</p>

<p>I thought the acting was phenomenal. The actors did an awesome job of making their character memorable, and can we just take a minute to appreciate Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson??</p>
<p>The story-line was awesome as well!</p>

<p>*nods*</p>
<p>From the movies I&#8217;ve seen (the three prequels, Rogue One, and the Rise of Skywalker), I think you&#8217;re right. They kinda seemed to be running out of steam. Though to be honest? I really enjoyed tRoS. And I think I&#8217;m not going to enjoy the original trilogy as much as I enjoyed the prequels. Idk why, but that&#8217;s what I feel&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-76122"><a href="https://storyembers.org/activity/p/76122/" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>
