[QUOTE="ShaneG, post: 2718957, member: 317973"] Forewarned, this is a critique ;) What I love is that you are trying to revive a classic kind of writing :) You don't see this very often with novelists these days, well sort of; with how many books get published they could be out there, just not seen. The revenge aspect is nice, and I am sure Shakespeare would hug you for that, not many people willing to show revenge in their protagonist. If I remember right, and I only read one or two JA short stories, but didn't she write in-a-more "women are not the weaker sex" kind of attitude? You're story starts out with a women committing the weakest act of all, suicide. People are bitter, angry and just down right crazy when it comes to it, so you could almost give her any reason to go after her sisters ex-boyfriend. Also, doing this will give you more wiggle room when you start writing, and now to the writing. You can do it!
