Title: 3/5
The title let me know what sort of story I’d be reading, which is always a good thing.

Poster/Background: 7/10
Your poster was alright, but the background took away from reading. There were times when I had trouble reading the font. Yeah, the choice of font wasn’t a good one. Try to stick with colors that are easier on the eyes, regardless of whether or not you actually like the color.

Forewords: 4/5
Nothing wrong here.

Plot: 12/15
Ever since the Twilight “phenomenon” overtook the country, there have been a lot more stories about vampires and whatnot. Now, I am not saying that you read Twilight and decided to do your own take on vampires. It’s just…after Stephenie Meyer totally and completely ruined vampires for the world, vampires aren’t as original anymore. I do like your portrayal of the vamp here, though. It sounds like what the original vampires sounded like, not the sparkling idiots prancing around Forks or Knives or whatever the heck that town is called. (Sorry for the rant)

Flow: 9/10
Nothing was off. Your flow was just fine.

Spelling/Grammar/Vocabulary: 12/15
You could use more vibrant vocabulary, and you need to work on your grammar as well as spelling.

Characterization: 8/10
You didn’t fully develop the characters as I thought you would.

Originality: 7/10
Like I said above, I now believe vampires are a little overrated. People use them too often in their stories because there is just some weird attraction to things of the freakish nature.

Writing style: 7/10
Your style was easy to follow, but I was hoping for more detail! =] Work on detail, dialogue and other related things to really get the flow going.

Overall enjoyment: 8/10
This was a really nice story, but in my opinion, it had a lot more potential. Perhaps you should work it into a chaptered story instead of a short one and really get into the characters and their backgrounds. Other than that, good job!

Overall score: 77/100
