ORD has a secret fetish for Cindy....

I wouldn't want to read "cute" every day, but I really liked the change of including the authors into the story. Definitely wasn't something I expected and an excellent way to defeat all the 1-bomb trolls and their vile comments. Thanks for the entertainment. Merry Christmas, to both of you!

"Sounds like a Hallmark Romance movie. Are you sure I can't convince you to put it in Romance?" Asked Cindy.

"Nope, and I don't care if it costs me a star. I'll get more readers this way and I can get my message out better." —

This is the number one reason all the crappy stories end up in LW. I like ORD's version of a LW story much more. 5★

One Star. Bah, Humbug!

No, I haven't given it one star and yes I love Christmas a much as anyone, but it was the best response I could think of.

"Here's to the future now it's only just begun."

I agree with ORD that this story will get read more in LW. But second choice should be Humor, not Romance; l laughed more than anything else. Merry Christmas, ORD. Pm

You need to find a better way to switch between the sets of characters. It was a confusing read.

I might encourage trimming unnecessary words to make the sentences and paragrphs stronger. "Kristy pushed Kris to take the note from inside it, which he did and read it." might eliminate the word "it," and read: "Kristy pushed Kris to take the note from inside, which he read." No need to say the note is inside it, because inside already implies inside of "it." Likewise, no need to say he did, because you're showing him doing it, or that he read "it," because you're already showing him reading, and this implies "it."

"On top of the babies was another note, which Kris took and read outloud." might be reduced slightly, "On top of the babies was another note, which Kris read aloud." No need to say Kris took, because it's implied by Kris reading the note. Little things, but make for stronger, cleaner sentences.

"As soon as Kris looked at Kristy, they heard babies crying in the guest bedroom." No need for "soon as," because unless there was an unexpected hour delay between Kris viewing Kristy, it's implied simply by use of the word "As." Rather than "looked," a stronger verb might convey more with a single word; glanced, gazed, etc. No need to say that they heard babies crying, if one simply states that babies cried from the guest bedroom. Their hearing it is implied, including the reference, and then by Kris and Kristy responding to the sound. Again little things though the story that make the sentences and paragraphs stronger.

You should listen more closely to Cindy. There is such a thing as too eccentric and too over the top. Too many asides became too distracting and an otherwise potentially really funny story just got continually sidetracked and became very difficult to read. Good idea, loved the no cheating, and gave it an extra star for that. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

The fear is real having just published my first story. Even as I published it, I could see changes and corrections but knew I'd edit it forever if I didn't submit it. So far, my favorite comment is: "Write what you know." Does it matter that I know I'm writing... FICTION? I...
