1.25⭐️ WHATEVER HAPPENED TO WORSHIP? BY AUGUST LAMM I have no idea what the point was here. And I couldn’t tell why she seemed afraid at the end.
3.5⭐️ THE TABLOID MAN BY YIGIT TURHAN This was actually well written and interesting, if a little rushed. We needed more time for CJ’s terror to build. But other wise, good.
1.25⭐️ TERROR AND REGRET BY AMBER LATER The beginning/end and middle stories felt totally disconnected. They didn’t inform each other at all. Whatever was being attempted here was not successful, and there was a continuity error midway that pulled me out.
2⭐️ MARLITA BY NICOLE SELLEW This was written in a frenetic way the felt distinctly stylized. It was definitely a creative choice and I think was successful for the character, I just didn’t really enjoy it.
1.25⭐️ OBEDIENCE BY RYAN D. PETERSEN This guy definitely fucked his dog. The writing was actually good but the slips the character experienced weren’t fleshed out enough for me to understand the weight of it.
4⭐️PRINCESS BY ERIN SATTERTHWAITE This was definitely the best out of the bunch. I thought it was a successful satire on essentially hipster-like people who think they’re too cool and interesting for normal people, but are just as vapid and boring themselves. I really enjoyed this one, but I wanted the ending to be that she was finally with her own people, but they didn’t like her.
