Nice start. I like your character Leah, her language suggests an highly educated person with a keen interest in nature, and cars. Plus there's a little mystery at the end. Will this be an adventure or a romance? Love to read more. :)

Got me interested in the Italian Brainrot phenomenon. Great idea for a surreal story. Love to see where this one goes.

I enjoyed your piece a lot. The smells, flavours, colours made the story come alive. I like your main character. She's very relatable and I love her name. Looking forward to reading more about Opal and Danny.

Love? Everybody needs to love. Everybody deserves to be loved. Love needs time to grow. Love can be lost for a while but love can never be entirely extinguished.

Nice to hear from you too. I love your site. It's a clever idea and fun. Hope it's a real success.

Nice to hear from you. I love your site. It's n new and clever idea. Hope it's a real success.

Bravo! 🎉️ That was a wonderful extra dimension to your tale. It would be great to see how both parallel pathways, fantasy and real-world. reflect and enhance each other. Looking forward to discovering more about Cal and El too and what that means in John and Bob lives. 🎉️

Hello, John. Good to hear from you. Yes, a small community is a great place to start. Hopefully Fictish will expand organically at a pace we can grow with. :)

Hello Ivy, nice to hear from you. Sorry your circs have forced you into isolation. Interaction with people can be hard, I know. Just make sure you get out and about as much as you can. The anonymity if the crowd can be comforting. And observe, observe. If you need to get your feelings out this is a good place to do it. <3

Excellent and so poetic. I enjoyed your piece very much. If you want to share about yourself see my thread 'Who Am I - An Author's Intro'.

A little surreal. It sparked an idea. NB If you feel like introducing yourself see my thread 'Who Am I - An Author's Intro'.

This is lovely and very sweet. I enjoyed to very much. But I have an idea for a parallel journey, It may not go anywhere. Respect.

You're right, of course, an author can do what they want, however they want it. Just passing on advice given to me years ago. They don't have to take it. But I think I'm right to say if a piece doesn't look easy to read most people won't give it the time. Shame but it's a choice an author has to make. NB See my thread 'Who Am I - An Author's Intro' if you feel like sharing about yourself.

Glad to meet you, Riot45. Fictish is a clever idea but we authors may have spread the news best we can for now. Keep on writing. ;)

Hi, Bertini. Good start. Lively little piece. But, for heaven's sake, spellcheck and space it into paragraphs - new one for each speaker - makes it more readable, gets you more likes. Some people won't even read it unless it looks pretty. ;) Just saying friendly like. Keep on going.

Ta, friend. The point is to write something, right? :)

Intriguing. Good one.

Nicely written, light and poetic but with a sense of some sad history between these people. Enjoyed it.

Good one. Favourited.
