Penny Valentine from an Unknown Woman by JPYoung

Gotta say I never had that red "romantic magic marker" on any sheet, nor did I want that either.
A fine story indeed.

My Heart Has Been Stolen by SJD โค

This was a great setup for the reader to receive the emotion when reading.
One thing that could be done is by having "You know my favourite song and I know yours" towards the beginning. When I read it, I felt drawn away from the progression of the whole idea or meaning behind this. Overall quality though was amazing.

I'd say it's pretty gnarly. Nice๐Ÿ˜Ž

The Quarry and the Curse by Sepperince

This is an interesting concept to a story. It gives me some strange Harry Potter vibes for some reason (maybe because of the my thought-relation with this and the mermaids). This also taps into my fear of deep dark water so...yeah, spooky.

There were some parts to this story where the grammar got to me so I had to re-read a few parts (that may just be me though) and I need more info on these characters and the backstory on this.

Hope you write more for this story because if this is it, I may just cry because this is something vastly different not just the plot, but structure wise also with the intro and the sizes of paragraphs being consistent with phenomenal breaks.

Nice!

Imagining by Skylar

This is neat. I like that it is short, simple and to the point. It has a nice flow even when it is short. Nice.

Faces by Kiraa

Not too shabby. Not too shabby.

For structure it is pretty good. Have the description of glass and the variations of each shattered piece in a unique and humanistic way.
I sense that it could be more concise. To get the words to stick some lines could be shortened such as an example,
"Some are bright and warm and happy
Some are alive, some are dead"

It could be,
"Some bright, warm, happy
Some alive, dead"

I think that would age well making it shorter with no filler or extra words.

To your point imaging yourself as shattered glass, along with the last two lines, it's relatable to the masses. Feeling useless ourself, but useful for others. Maybe we serve our purpose to serve others and not ourselves. Maybe we desire the want of approval from others, but tear ourselves down. Maybe we see more faith in others for the unknown compared to one's self?

See and hear it all the time. Stories of those who have fallen in despair and wretchedness in society, but still lend grace and help to those in need. It doesn't even have to be drastic. Just donating a couple of bucks when we/you are in a financial bind or volunteering at a food pantry is a difference of help.

So why help others when one's self could be or is lost?
Makes you feel good? Think good karma is on the way? Gain attention and approval? Make the world a lively place? Respect for others? Been in a similar situation?

I'm not sure. It's not for me to say. But I'm sure the individual doing such has a clearer answer.

The Good Die Young by Skylar

This reminds me of a quote from Pintrest (not sure who said it). "Everybody wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die." I don't know, thought it fit pretty well with the idea of the measure of life based on good and bad deeds we do.
Great writing.๐Ÿ‘

Hangman's Rock by IanG

This was a pretty good story. Kinda strange for an American to read something like this being that the U.K has the passenger side on the left, and (from reading this) when you try get through an experience that was unsettling, you pour wine, where us Americans would crack open a cold beer.
The imagery was a new experience for me and that was awesome.
I wish that you had more interaction with or description of the ghost as to that it seems that it sort of just came and went with no reason to be in the vehicle. I know it was an accident that happened and the ghost had no reason to bring fear or vengeance towards people, but it seemed so bare and minimal with the ghost.
Overall though, great.
