I have a short weird fiction, horror story that needs some critique
It's in the style of Lovecraft with a good dose of Borges mixed in
But hopefully is more in my own style
anyways, I don't really care what I review, so I will trade critique of it…
For the exchange and critique of short stories only.

Profile Information
- What is your genre?
- Pseudo-Intellectual Claptrap. Science Fiction of a sort. Dark. Horror. Poems: Epic and so on. Borges-like fantastical. The weird.
- What do you write?
- novels, short stories, poetry
- Are you a pantser, a plotter, or a hybrid?
- hybrid
- What is your current project?
- A romance of a garden which is also a mythical history. A bunch of fables and phantasms all poured in the same plot with a frame about a guy the girl he likes and the guy she likes as they live in this remote garden. It's all about Love, see?
- What stage is your current project in?
- Writing the first draft.
- I'm looking for a CP who
- wants to swap full drafts just for critique, is willing to swap chapters as we go, who will be there from the ground up on a project
- How long have you been writing?
- How long have you been breathing?
- Published or Aspiring?
- aspiring
- What do you feel is your greatest strength as a writer?
- It changes daily, and from story to story. Some stories are strong in their mythopoetic fashion. Some are best for dialogue. My plots range from the well-thought out to the nearly incomprehensible. I think, though, the dense mythology is what I do best, the sense of there being a world beyond the words.
- What do you feel is your greatest weakness as a writer?
- Everything above is weak even when it's strong. I'm a poet first, and fiction is really my secondary action. Not many people these days are really longing for Dunsany styled Pegana type Gods.
- Do you have any specialized knowledge in some field?
- Uh, well, I know literature. Especially modernist poetry. I can tell you all about Eliot and Pound and so on. I can also make lyric about the importance of disperse poets from Sandberg to Sappho to O'Hara to Dowson. Oh, and if it's a quest type, fertility ritual poem or story, I know all about that (see: "I can tell you all about Eliot").
