    Are we gonna get feedback at the time of results or are we just gonna get the results?

    I know I only spent a few minutes on my poem, but after looking at it several times, I'm really pleased and I wanted to hear other people's thoughts.

    It rhymes, but you need to work on flow and individual phrases more. Also if your poem has complex sentences, they usually don't work without applying more elaborate tropes. Try experimenting with gradation over the course of a line, for example.

    Oh that one was just me and those guys deciding to do a one-shot, but schedules spooped. I usually run stuff like Carcossa. New one would be similar, but a bit more structured.

    This is just be being me, but I recommend using the word Yuri instead of Shoujo Ai.

    I learned this a while back but it turns out shoujo ai is an English term that Westerner started using for anything lesbian related how ever, in Japanese, shoujo ai means lolicon porn. Shoujo = young girls

    So it’s best not to use it :blobpeek: I was surprised when I found out too

    And I’m writing a yuri short story as well so good luck to you my competitor
