Outstanding reviews

Hi JD. thanks for the kind words.Yes am trying to engage with people, I think that is definitely the way to go. And its good to keep at it. Writers got to write!I was hoping to challenge myself to writing a story a week but this weeks prompt has stumped me. And work is busy so I guess its okay to take a break to recharge the batteries every so often!
Yes, I took this week off too. I think I have only done 2 weeks in a row once since starting because it can be very involved and time consuming. I also don’t like forcing myself to write something if an idea just isn’t there. Glad there is always next week! Lol can’t stay away for too long though or we fall out of the habit. ;)

Congratulations on the shortlist! It was definitely a fun story and deserves to be read more :)
Thanks Michael! Delighted!!
How a man in his 40s wrote this, I dont know. The different personalities coming out in their texts is something to bow down to. I love the believability of the different reactions as the night goes on, the intensity of the AI villain is magnified by its absence. Great story and expertely written.
I have a teenage daughter 😂😂😂Thank you for the kind words! I had lot of fun writing this one!
I love the idea of the Gossapp thing! That's great! I wonder how the app does it though, does it spy on someone and then tell you about it, or is it really telling the future.... We'll never know.... Brilliant.
this was crazy good. when i saw the prompt i never even thought about this idea, ur creative. i rlly enjoyed reading
Creative take on the gossip girl prompt, very thrilling read and l loved that suspense ending.The app is scary honestly especially the way it toys with the girls!
Thanks Sarah. Yes I'm.quite proud of this one. :)
This is soooo seamless and smooooth, it's like the best ride at the park! You really nailed the dialogue with enough distinction between characters, there was never a hesitation with the read - and this is a read that should be read without interruption. It's that good! Love it, Derrick!
Thank you so much Susan! I love this one it's my favorite thing I've written. So happy you liked it!
So much fun and the voices were great--reminded me of Unfriended (the fabulous screenlife horror movie from a few years back, also about gossip gone wrong).
Thank you Kathryn. Glad you enjoyed. I think I saw unfriended. Watch a lot of horror and do love found footage genre. Did you see Host, another similar style.I'll check out your stories later!
Absolutely loved Host and found footage horror in general--I think REC might be my favorite in that genre if you haven't seen it! And I've just started writing here, but hoping to work horror into a prompt soon!
REC is one of the best in terms of scares. Love found footage films. There are some great Japanese ones. Have you seen Noroi? Or POV? that one is greatI'll keep an eye out for your stories!
Hi Derrick!Oh my goodness! When I was a young adult, I read a book series that was entirely written in the format of text message. This story made me think of that particular formatting, and I think as technology continues to grow we’ll see stories change, and continue to adapt. I loved the way that this story was paced, and I found myself scrolling as fast as I could to get to the next portion of it. The twist at the very end was bone chilling, and you did a great job of capturing your characters naïveté. Nice work and congratulations!!
Thanks Amanda, so glad you enjoyed it! :) I had a lot of fun writing this one.I'll check out your stories soon! :)
The tension really builds and builds to a crescendo. I sometimes have difficulty following dialogue between more than three people but the voices and personalities were distinct enough that I didn't have that issue. A well deserved shortlist!
Hi Olivia. Thanks for commenting, glad you enjoyed the story 😁 I loved your most recent one. I struggled with that prompt but you did great!
Great story, my two teenage daughters talk too much like this! I love the format, it is a great way to build tension. Congrats on the shortlist!
Thanks Marty. Yea I have one of those (teenage daughter!) 😂😂😂Glad you enjoyed
In a unique class of its own. Interesting work. Congrats.
Thank you Philip. Appreciate the words!
Great story Derrick! The cliffhanger ending left me with chills! Very interesting concept to write the whole story in the format of a chat, and it definitely worked and was easy to read. Great job!
Aw thanks Hannah! Glad it worked I was unsure as I wrote it aw it's more like a film script...hmm there's a thought! 😂I'll check out your stories soon!
Wow, this fully grabbed my attention! Nice job!! It's really creative!
Thank you Emma Glad to hear it. Was a bit of an experiment so glad it worked out!
this story is so good!!
Thank you! Took a bit of a chance on this one, glad it is going down well!
Love the timely topic. And it's so hard to write a story entirely in text comments -- very impressive.
Thank you Ellen! ☺️☺️
Congrats on the shortlist Derrick! And you were beginning to worry. ;)
Thanks JD! What are the odds lol
In the early '70s, my mother feared the computerized cash register at A&P, her favorite grocery store. She predicted computers would rule the world before 2000. She also knew that the day would come to appreciate the simplicity and hate the loss of control. AI is the way of the world but should it replace good common sense? Great story!
Thanks Kimberly ! Yes I know exactly what you mean. I sometimes wish I could get rid of my smart phone and just go back to the old style ones but we have become so reliant on them....i dont know would it be possible to be without one now...
Hey D, can you critique the stories of mine you read, please. I'm trying to become a better writer.
Definitely will!
Wow! This concept is super creepy and well executed. It felt so real, and I think the chat dialogue was the perfect way to tell this AI horror story!! Nicely done.
Thank you Anna. Glad you enjoyed. I do like a bit of a dark creepy horror story lol. I'll check your stories out soon!
Technicalities.💻All just technicalities.Technically this was a perfect choice for shortlist. Congrats 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Mary. Just wanted to try something different here. And when the name "Gossapp" came to mind there was only one way I could think of presenting it , like a chat. Thanks for reading as always.
Awww thank you Mary! 😊 Chuffed!
