SquiddyBiscuit - Little confused by who is who in the beginning. Nice twist at the ending, but I wish it had been a little more than pure conversation.
Lone_Prodigy - It's sweet, but I'd much rather have the story within a story actually be the story, instead of being told second hand.
DumbNameD - Your word counter must work on faith. Great little epic though.
Sober - Don't think you needed to go over the word limit, since I think it would have been better to be tighter and neater. It's hard to follow when it's all over the place. It would have been better if you had focused just on a few specific moments.
Tangent - I'm so lost at the start. You don't set the table for the reader here. Dumping all this conversation on the reader is harsh with little to no narrative context to bind it together.
Cyan - It's a well constructed office story, but something about it just doesn't grab me. I think there's something about a snark narrator that immediately kills my interest. There was a show Dead Like Me that I couldn't watch for the same reason.
Mike Works - Lovingly described, it paints character and setting with the same brush. I would have liked a little more movement, but I always want a little more movement.
