Wow, I can really see why you voted "yes" on this story. The author doesn't merely consign these two girls to their childhood Barbie dolls but shows them full of complexity and conflict. The narrative tension all reveal that there is no subject immune to drama hidden within.
I really like these posts because they give those of us who are budding writers a surer sense of how to navigate the forest of submissions and of just plain old writing a good story.
Love your analysis of this story, Adele! And I'm glad you're finding posts like this helpful. I was really excited when this piece was selected, and of course, I was also really excited to write about it!
I really enjoyed reading this article. It’s so nice to see the reasons people vote the way they do when reading new pieces, and I enjoy seeing how other magazines operate.
This story sounds super unique and interesting! Thanks for sharing
Yes, I'd love to see more perspectives from readers at other magazines! Similar to writing, being a reader can feel like a very solitary pursuit, and since we're sort of isolated, we have no idea if our experiences are similar to or different from others. I think there's a lot we can learn from each other (and it would be great to feel less alone too).
Yes absolutely. It can be really hard to even know if you are a good reader because no one else sees the pieces unless you upvote them (at least in my experience)
