Talk:Wendigo: A Terrifying Story/@comment-24830804-20161011000522

(This is meant as constructive criticism, not hate. I enjoyed the story, but I hope to give a few tips.)

My main problems with the story were a) the way the Wendigo possessed Enrique, b) how he acted after becoming  possessed, and c) and the transformation.

The way someone becomes possessed by a Wendigo is by resorting to cannibalism, especially when they're forced to; from then, they are possessed and the transformation will slowly begin. I don't know if the thing about how saying a demon's name will summon it, but if it is, I don't think it would apply to the Wendigo, even though it could be considered as a demon of sorts.

I also don't think the way Enrique acted after becoming possessed was very realistic--he would presumably still act the same, but with small, noticeable differences in his behavior, but the way you wrote it made it seem like within a day he lost all emotions. He's still technically a human at that point!

And finally, the transformation process. The process can take days, weeks, or maybe a month--but a few seconds is out of the question. The process is one that happens gradually and over a span of time, not one that takes place immediately.

Hope this was helpful, and I apologize if it sounded rude!
