Talk:Something to Get Off My Chest/@comment-25052433-20150722031422

Let's get this review off of my chest, and see how Something to Get Off My Chest stacks up.

Creativity: This was a cool little pasta that will certainly serve as an excellent addition to this site. It was campy, witty and sharp. The demonic entity came across strongly human, as I am sure was your intent, and his complaints about existing in today's world made him a fairly likable character. This was a very fun read and was quite creative.

Quality of Story: This story falls into my category of "what it is" type stories, as in, it was very good, for what it is. This one scores more points for its witty and smart design than for being an actual story. There really wasn't much in the way of plot or character design, but rather delivered a finished product that was quite enjoyable. While I liked it very much, as a contest entry, it fell a little flat. There were many other stories that delivered a rich plot and deep characters, where this one felt a lot more like a place holder than a serious entry.

Quality of Character: The demon in this one was brilliant for what he was, and I enjoyed reading his laments. However, he sort of came pre-packaged instead of being grown and developed as the story went on. Once again, as a stand alone pasta, this was a lot of fun, but as a contest entry, it doesn't really hold up well.

Creepiness: This wasn't creepy at all. However, for what it lacked in that department, it made up for in other areas. This one showcases your talents as a writer, and you should certainly continue making pastas, as you clearly have a real talent. Had you added a stronger degree of horror into the mix, this would have been a well rounded short pasta. The humor was awesome, but that lack of horror elements is going to hurt your score a bit.

As I said above, I really like this one, and if it were not for the fact that it was a contest entry, I would likely be raving about it. With that said though, it just seemed out of place here.

I will give this one an even 50 points, combined with Grim's score of 78, that brings you to 128 points.

Final Score 128 points.
