I just read through Grigori's final draft for the battle against Bill and, well, I don't have anything to say. It was good and solid and I liked it a lot. I think that's why he isn't getting many reviews -- it doesn't really need any work.

I feel kind of bad for not reviewing the ones in that list, but I just don't know if I'd have anything to say. I'm not a fan of sci-fi nor am I good at reviewing it, so Alien's is out. I don't have time to read Deet's because it's so long.
I just don't know what's going on with the Garret/Renfield Thunderdome. Where's Renfield's?

I just read through Grigori's final draft for the battle against Bill and, well, I don't have anything to say. It was good and solid and I liked it a lot. I think that's why he isn't getting many reviews -- it doesn't really need any work.
I read this and I thought, that's sad, I should bookmark it to review it later.
But now that I actually went and saw who wrote the review that is up I'll go ahead and admit that Courtney is right about that one.
I feel kind of bad for not reviewing the ones in that list, but I just don't know if I'd have anything to say. I'm not a fan of sci-fi nor am I good at reviewing it, so Alien's is out. I don't have time to read Deet's because it's so long.
I just don't know what's going on with the Garret/Renfield Thunderdome. Where's Renfield's?

Yeah I got some already. Howie christened me: "The Official Lit Reactor Workshop Pimp!" in bold and with exclamation marks! lol
A job well done. Honest.
Thank ya sir. Just doing what I can, same with you and the prompt and the duo stuff!
Participation in the prompts has been lacking. People have run off and done other things. What those may be I don't know.
As for Duo, we gotta fill those slots up...hehehe BWAHAHA.
But yeah anyway, I haven't slept, so I'm gonna give it another shot.
@Courtney renfield hasn't shown up. He's aware that we were in one. I even gave him an extension. I suppose I win by default.
Well, shit. Lucky for you, I suppose, haha. No competition is an easy win!
Thank you everyone for your feedback. Except for you, Matt, you suck lol
LOL, brah, I've got some stuff going on, I'll try....give me a few days
I'm still here, honest.
Work unfortunately has been taking up my time. I have about 80 hours of certifications and training to finish, on top of my regular duties.
