Frighteningly Enticing (A Frog's Female Feast) By NightRoller -- Report

(See top of document above)
This took a while longer than expected for a quick write. Hoping you enjoy!
(It'll probably be a long while before my next one as well... maybe a a few months, maybe multiple years.)

Not sure why the formatting turned out so whack, might have to experiment with future uploads... I hope it's not too much of a nuisance.

I enjoyed the internal monologue where she debates on whether to give in to her fantasy. For me the amount of detail was just right, leaving my imagination to fill in parts.

I'm pleased you enjoyed it! Striking that balance isn't an easy thing, so I'm glad this story managed it.
Often I worry that I have *too much* internal monologue, so count me pleasantly surprised to find it worked well.

Critique as requested:

That right alignment is an abomination. I'm having a hard time concentrating on the text.

Colon after the title when using a subtitle.

Put the description at the start of the story in the gallery description and let the reader focus on your work proper. If they want extra information, and they probably will, they can find it easily enough.

Do more interweaving of the character's thoughts with the action taking place. The short sentences feel more like an outline or poem than a structured story at the start; it would be an interesting choice to commit to the dreamlike poetry route until "reality ensues".

When I press through the right alignment formatting, what I observe are the same issues you have with your butterfly story, and so my recommendation there also applies.

Make revision your new best friend, it will take you places.

Ah, I'd forgotten to fix the file when I'd found out the Word file had wrecked all formatting, but now it's as it should've been ^^"

I'll keep that in mind for the subtitles, though I think this is more stylistic.

Editing is what I've nearly mastered, so Revision will be made my objective for the next few years!

Thanks again for your constructive input!

It is nice that she is considering giving herself up to the frog voluntarily.
