THE SPIDER
[spoilers removed]"
LOL This is a good one, Travis! :D

This game is very simple, I'll start with a name and then the next person writes a name beginning with the last letter of the name above. (e.g. Peter might precede Robert, which precedes Tobias, with the next starting with S). Try not to reuse names that have already appeared.
After a while we'll get to some pretty unique names - feel free to use these names in your stories when you're stuck for a name.
I'll start us off with:
John

TROUBLED HEART
This is great, Jess. You've got some excellent imagery here.

I love "Dark Heart: Images of a City", it had a comic book feel to it with the vigilante, but also put across some powerful messages about our world. Loved it! I'm hoping to find your other two Dark Heart books to see how the story continues.
I also read "Jack Majors: Superhero". That was excellent too. I think because it was a superhero based in Melbourne, Australia. The book I'm reading now, "Vanguard Prime: Goldrush" is written by an Australian author, but for some reason it's set in America (well, it doesn't actually state it, because their base in mobile, but you get the feeling that it is). I'm finding the characters too generic; like there's a Wonder Woman character, Superman/Captain America character and a Batman kind of character, while the main character is like the Flash - except he's a kid. He seems to be grasping his powers really quickly too. That's the thing I like about Jack Majors - he's just a kid and he's learning about his powers and making mistakes along the way. You should write a second one.

THE CURSED COIN (52 Words)
This is a great beginning (or end) to a story. The characters surnames wouldn't happen to be "Wayne" and "Grayson" would they? ;)


Sheer poetry with a hint of danger! Beautifully written, Viv.
