Talk:The Rose Garden Part One/@comment-25052433-20140901101105

Flowers never seem to grow in my garden. All I ever seem to get are these reviews.

What went right:

-This was a great story, certainly one of the better ones that I have come across on this site. Your writing style is on a professional level, and your use of description, setting and character development are incredible.

-The plot was excellent. It was laced with real emotions that made the characters easy and a pleasure to relate to. Most of all, even for a fictional horror story, there was an element of realness to this, both in character and design, that further spoke out to the professional level or the writing.

-The ending. Honestly, this is the only part that felt somewhat rushed. I would have liked to have learned more about the mystery garden woman, as well as known the outcome of the final encounter. I know, it is a common trend in Creepypastas to leave the ending a mystery. Now, that style works okay in stories where there is a little character development or in stories that are very plot driven.

However, this is a very character driven story. We form a bond with the protagonist, and as such, develop a concern for her wellbeing. With that being said, at least speaking for myself, I would like to know how this turned out. Part of me hopes that Belle was able to overcome the monster and return to a normal life, she certainly seems like a character that deserves some normalcy. Also, the garden woman is a very fascinating character in her own right. To be so beautiful and charming, I feel like there is a deeper story there that deserves to be told.

Overall, this was excellent and left me wanting more. Superb pasta from start to finish.
