I just read the first 2 & enjoyed them.
I can see true talent in what I've read :) You have great potential but in my opinion you haven't reached it! I don't mean to sound like a horrible or heaps picky person and I'm sorry if I offend you.
If I were you, I'd scrap what you've done and start fresh. In my opinion I believe the following would improve your writing and lift it to a more professional standard:
- Check spelling & grammer before you release your stories to GTQ. This will greatly lift the bar and make it a greater pleasure to read. It will make the reader feel as though they are reading something professional; not sloppy and written by a typical teenager.
- Be descriptive! Give detailed explanations for things you see, noises you here; but don't go over the top!
- Write the stories in first person and stick to it! This makes the story personal to the reader :) (If I was reading a story about a 13 year old girl who had black, straight hair, purple eyes and pimples, I would not feel emotionally involved and would most likely drop the series.) Also, continue using spaces when your name is called etc. I like that :)
- At the start of each "quiz story", write a small paragraph summarising the last story. I don't want to scroll through the last quiz to regain knowledge!
I love the idea of your story! :D I believe it has great potential!
When you have a knife held against your throat describe how it brought shivers rippling through your body. Describe how with each pulse the knife cut a thin slither and a thin stream of blood leaked slowly and warmed your flesh.
You're doing well! :D Please don't get offended by what I've said. :)
Also, advertise in the forums but stick to literature! Give a summary of your story so people can choose whether or not to take it :)

Hey don't worry. It just takes time to make a story quiz. Try to stay focused and detailed in your writing. Show your creativity. Make a quiz or forum advertising your story. Just keep making ideas and you will get there. I had to take a huge break from my two story quizzes and now I'm back! It will get better trust me :)

@MysteriousEntity; I'm going to read your series tonight and thank you!
@ange; Thanks so much, I think I will start fresh but still keep the idea, I'll probably give myself more time and sit down to think about the chapters and such.
