your critique was very short. you made three points, and only one of them was a constructive suggestion. 'i like it' is definitely a good thing to say in a critique, but in an application it would have been better for you to find a piece you thought was lacking, and to critique that. that way you would have demonstrated your knowledge of good writing, and your ability to help weaker writers. i'd like to see you apply again with a better critique ( ... )

Fair enough. I have to admit I applied on an impulse. And after really looking at the quality of the posts throughout the rest of the community, I am definately wishing I'd given a little more thought to my application.

I would call this a "high and mighty, look at my abstract sentence formations" piece; not my best idea. Next time I'll definately go for a more down to earth piece.

As far as my critique, I began twitching at my own stupidity a mere three hours later. You'll definately be hearing from me again if I'm not accepted this time. ;)

Didn't like your critique. It was probably an impulse like you said, but it doesn't give me anything to work with except it kind of sounded like you were reaching a bit for something to say ( ... )

"Would she never rid her thoughts of him?"

You punched me in the face with a plotline before i was even settled into the story, don't start stories with an opener like this
