Talk:The Skunk/@comment-25021327-20141124001258

Hmmm.... I want to like this story. There are some pretty distracting errors in spelling and grammar, but not enough to make me stop reading. I liked the decription of the book, and the fact that is was something that somehow slipped through the cracks of the published. That was an interesting story to me, even the parts about the effects the book which were a little silly and cliche.

I appreciate that you wanted to make this story a take place on a bit of a grander scale, creating the Skunk virus, and even tying it in with other creepypastas. I appreciate what you were trying to do, but I would have liked to see this be a more self contained story, on a smaller scale.

One thing that kind of  bugged me was when Brad entered the C++ code, and the speakers started playing "realistic" sounds. Its a nitpick, but just entering a code wouldn't really make any sounds play that weren't already in the system. But it's a creepypasta, so it doesn;t have to be realistic.

Anyway, there were parts that I liked in this. The narrator's backstory was kinda interesting, and could have been explored further. The Skunk story was sort of dark and interesting, which I liked. I felt like this story bounced back and forth between realism, and surrealism, which made it tough for me to get a feel for it.

Despite some of the parts that I found silly regarding the computer virus and the story arc toward the end, there were some things that I liked here. I think that some profreading would g a long way with this story. If English isn't your thing, someone might be willing to help out with that. So yeah, like I said, I didn't dislike it, but I didn't like it as much as I hope I would.
