Hello, I just joined this community and I have an itch to write this Wilson centric character study. I'm just starting it, but I'm writing it in second person because I haven't tried that out and I want to take some more risks with my writing. I'm just looking for concrit right now, even though I could use a beta ( Read more... )

The tenses seem to change from past to present. I think that if they were all the same it would flow better.

You select one at random, plucking the smooth golden ring out of it’s home. Spin it absentmindedly, memories whirring from wherever they were hidden.
I think that this might sound better with either "You" at the beginning of the second sentence or by linking the sentences with "and".

I thought that the dialogue sounded good. I did want to know more of what was going on in Wilson's head during the dialogue though. I think that with the way that the story started that going with just the dialogue seems like maybe too abrupt of a shift- if that makes sense.

Oh... and one other thing... did you mean Cameron as being fired. In canon it was Chase that was fired- Cameron quit.

I've never betaed but if any of my meger advice was helpful and you feel like it would be a good fit- I'd Love to see more of this and I wouldn't mind looking things over. Just let me know via this thread or posting a note on my LJ. I really love the concept.

This one was your second; Julie’s, you knows that like you knows your name is James.>blockquote>
"know" in both cases and to me the second part feels a little akward. Maybe something that would give the same meaning in a different way (suggestion of a Possible way) "This was from your second marriage- to Julie. You know the rings and the wives connected with them as intimately as you do your own name." I don't think that you have to state his name.

Not meger advice at all!
The second person thing is really killing me right now, so just having someone else reading it will hlep tremendously. I do need to iron out that paragraph about the rings, it's quite hard to write and hard to read.
I think my largest problem is that I don't really know what to do with it. I mean I know that it's going to explore House and Wilsons realationship, but It's missing all of the stuff that makes it actually a story. Confict, plot. Minor things, really. Heh.
But if you are interested, that would be great. You're pretty much exactly what I'm looking for.
I guess I'd need your e-mail, no? Mine is SnakeXScandal13@yahoo.com My "real world' name is Christina. :)
