Spot the King references!30 total reviews
Comment from GWHARGIS
I really got a little freaked out on this. A very good thing. I liked that you took the reality and comfort of Fanstory and threw in the stalking and craziness of the real world. Nice characterization and imagery. The line I particularly liked was the ruby shrapnel. Great job. Good luck in the contest. Gretchen

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
A lot of fun! Poor Dean... and Mikey. But they're good sports. I love some of the lines in here, like...
He had earned his unconsciousness.
You know, the kind you needed to have dainty little fingers for but the strength of Hercules to actually write.
a million tiny fragments, landing like ruby shrapnel

LOL really loved reading this one. I think you've done amazing job of fulfilling the contest prompt. The story kept me riveted from beginning to end. You've perfectly captured the screenwriting adage, same but different.

This was very Kathy Lee Bares and James Kahn of you.
Again another reason not to enter these competitions people get all Mangled up about them. Remember her breaking his ankles with a mallet?
Yikes..good read..
I like the cat shrugging if she could.

This was a hoot to read. You clearly had as much fun writing this as I had reading it. I doubt I caught all the Stephen King references, but think I got most. This is a terrific entry for this contest and I sincerely wish you all the best.

Comment from amahra
This was really nicely written, entertaining and funny. Being a S K reader, I spotted so many references. I didn't know I had read so many of his books until I read this story. Happy New year and good luck in the contest.
He wasn't sure if she was in love with him or wanted to eat him. [LOL]

Comment from rjpurdy
A nicely done parody. So many references to the "King." It was particularly interesting how you were able to grab snippets from each. Exceptionally well written except for one fragmented sentence I found.
" Stuck in the middle of nowhere, miles from anywhere, in a snow drift."
I believer you need a subject or a noun here to make this a complete sentence. I enjoyed the story and wish you the best in the voting.

Contestants are not aloud to vote for themselves. This is an excellent entry. There is very good imagery. It reminds me of an old Clint Eastwood movie. Good luck in your contest.

Comment from judiverse
Very entertaining. I can see Kathy Bates at work here. You do a great job of bringing in FanStory elements as well as Stephen King references. I haven't read any Stephen King recently but was familiar with several of the references--Carrie, the pet cemetery, the library policeman, etc. You get across the misery the writer felt while being held captive. Funny comments about "gone down as well as a thesaurus in a dyslexic's Christmas stocking" and the haiku topic "a mucus of your own choosing." Great fun and best of luck in the contest. judi

I would say that you covered about everything that you possibly could have in Stephen King references. Dean got "Put threw the wringer" as the old adage goes. Thanks for the fun read. :-)
