Here's my unspoilered feedback because I'm a monster
THE PLATYPUS(Plumb): This was hilarious. The fancy high and mighty voice of the narrator read awkwardly to me from time to time but I'll be damned if it didn't add a lot to the humorous tone.
GIVE EM TIME (DTL): So considering this is a story about two boys in love who play volleyball, i have a pretty strong suspicion of who this is. So this comment will seem strange, but I think the quality of your prose has improved gradually, but it really suffers from how similar your stories are with each other. It might be in large part because I am now a long time reader of yours, but I think a major mix up to your formula would be really refreshing. Change the relationship dynamic or something.
THE GLOBE IN THE ATTIC (Pickman): I dug a lot about this from the mystique to that great end line. One thing that did bug me, in the style of oldish letters like that, typically you'd see the dialgoue a bit different. The writer of the letters tend to downplay their own dialgoue, usually not even putting it in dialogue tags (instead of writing out the question, they'd put "I asked them the question" or something like that). I think that would have added a bit more stylization and believability to the letter format you decided to do.
THE CHEAPEST 8TH OFF SOUNDVIEW:(Mystery Fellow) This certainly took a really interesting turn. I had fun as the talk about conspiracy theories got deeper and deep er until we were basically in one ourselves. The end out of left field was also really good, but I thought the tone was kind of all over the place. Things that felt like they were supposed to be funny didn't really feel like they were being played for laughs and the whole thing was maybe a touch too serious. Or maybe I just don't get stoner humor.
DO THEY SING NO MORE: (Eternal Song) End of the world sucks. I've never heard a description of the end of the world where I didn't think "man, that would suck to live through." Really impressed with the lyrical nature of it, but mostly just by how long you kept it going for.
SECOND-BORN SON:(Mike) So this was suuuuuper well constructed and pretty great all around. I think Rynos is a hell of a good character and you should keep him in your rollerdex of characters because he's got a lot there. I thought this was a bit of a slow start, and it wasn't until the kid showed up that I really started to get invested/interested in Rynos as a person. Not fond of your ending though. I like the bit about the executioner's son's burden and the idea behind it, but I've never been big on split personalities. I feel like it's inclusion here strips away a bit of the conflict I really enjoyed in the character.
THE LANTERN SKY:(Nezumi) There were some neat bits in this but it doesn't really come together for me. Also I'm not that big on the perspective even if I thought it was an interesting way to go. That end epilogue was weird and kind of out of nowhere though. Less big on that.
WHERE WORLDS MEET (Krazen): Really dug this. Very dark fairy tale vibe and the narration of the other sister was a neat touch. It really helped stick that landing.
RETRIBUTION (Alucard): So I was alllllll about this when you reveal its a dragon. I thought the whole things was aces up to this point and the reveal handled perfectly. But then it got kinda expositioney with the talk of all the plant life being killed and the dragons rising after that. All very on the nose. Also I thought the ending kinda didn't make sense, felt like a weird turn for the character/story. I think the story of them trying to hide/survive a dragon in the middle of nowhere would be more interesting than the idea of retribution.
THE RAINBOW FARM (Conker): Hot damn this was good! I don't know who did this, but you should do something with this. This was such a clever idea and you had sooooo many interesting ideas and little details that really sold…. Well everything. My only gripe is I wasn't fond of your ending. Not so much the prisms being weapons but the "I must be crying cause of the dust" thing is a bit cliche for my liking personally.
