LOL! That is hilarious! I can just imagine that happening to Shakespeare if he came back and started writing again. Now that rhymed poetry is frowned upon (by people who can't write poetry) Shakespeare and all the other famous past poets, wouldn't stand a chance. I thought this was really funny. Well done. :)) Sandra xx

I get differing advice all the time. Happy for all of it.
Comment from EMB
Yep. And the moral of the story is: Don't put ANY weight on what any one person says because their is an audience for practically every kind of writing, on every skill level. (Plus the world is filled with idiots. So...there's that, too.) LOL

Thank you, Edward, for giving this a look. Bill
Comment from Gloria ....
Well at least with gloves you've got Christmas presents that people won't toss in the fire--hopefully. I think it is nobler to withstand the slings and arrows of bee stings.
Wonderful bit of humour here, Bill. I even recognize some of the reviewing styles.
One question. How do they rate your gloves? *wink*
Love this.

LOL. Now that is funny. HAAA.
Comment from Dean Kuch
Hahaha. Can you imagine Edgar Allan Poe debuting his epic classic, brilliant poem, The Raven, here on FanStory for the first time ever, Bill?
He'd be tarred and feathered--raked and raped o'er the hot flames of Hell. Passages like:
"And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me--filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
"'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door--
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;--
This it is and nothing more."
...would be met with critique such as, 'Well, I don't see where the word, "repeating" comes into play in the rhyme scheme here at all. It comes nowhere near rhyming with before, door, door, and more. Furthermore, why bring yet another odd, non-rhyming word like "curtain" into this mangled mess?
I simply don't get it'
That's when you hang your head, shake it, then whisper, "No, Sparky. You don't get it at all."

Thank you, Dean, for the excellent review. Reviews can be a bit deflating at times.

Hah! You're telling me?
You're more 'n' welcome, Bill.

Comment from Joyce Long
This says it all. I really prefer for the contest to have a least two readers, but most have only one reader. Thus, a person hoping for a great review has to remember, the reviewer is only one person. Thus, it is only one person's opinion. I use to read for state school tests. Each reading had two readers and if they were not near in their decision, there was a third reader. Thus, kids taking tests through their school, had a more true reading.
Your writing is right on, but I think you should keep writing and not become a glove maker.

I am giving you a six for your last line which ahs me laughing. I like your reviews, they are strange but interesting. You have a parody here that is true to life, many reviews are very unique.
