[QUOTE="BSF, post: 1630022, member: 13098"] [b]Macbeth's Art Memoir[/b] Whoo! Interesting little story Macbeth. To be honest though, I didn't think it was terrific. Great ideas, interesting characterization and a bold statement. Still, I got tired of the delivery mechanism. I think the repetitiveness is a bold move. It will either be met enthusiastically, or less so. In my case, I got tired of it. Which is odd since I used the word Meat over and over and over again in my first story in the last competition. Go figure. :) However, I appreciate the usage. You were trying to make a statement and I think that is cool. Perhaps it would have been better if I had seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas? In any case, the building around that phrase began to wear on me. I think the story could have stood just as strongly without so much usage. The pic use for the lizard and for the phone call didn't quite ring true for me. Otherwise, I really liked the concepts behind the story. Unlike some of the other comments, I think it is fine to have some pipes and water mains busted. It leaves me feeling like there was a BIG and NOBLE goal with flawed execution. It kind of matches the haphazard arc. I think it shows an underlying flaw in the artist that perhaps he has become so dope addled that he cannot conceive the big followthrough that would be needed to reach his goal. It also says to me that he is striving for that elusive godliness that is clearly out of his reach. In the end, man's creations are but poor replicas of what the divine has created. But, maybe I am reading too much into it. ;) [/QUOTE]
