    I think Raven might need to clean his monitor...

    Fantastic work, Rob. I really enjoyed it.

    Enjoyable and a good idea. Flow and syllables are off though, and don't line up well as far as the rhyming goes, which takes away from it considering how good the Grinch was. 4/5, IMO. Good work.

    I've matched the Grinch syllable-for-syllable, so I challenge this.

    Stressed and unstressed, though?

    Mmm, good point. No, it's kind of impossible to match the stressed and unstressed, but I've attempted where possible to change the stress in the matching couplets and such.

    It makes quite a difference.

    It's easy to pick up once you train yourself, though; that's the amazing thing about Shakespeare - Iambic Pentameter throughout each sonnet.

    Don't worry about it though. I think grading on something that trivial is a bit silly (no offence, TIO). The poem is filled with too much ownage for anything that minor to negate a 5/5 rating :D.

    Wow...I'm still gaping at the screen so give me a moment...............
    WOW! That was excellent, I'm not exactly a great English student so I have no idea what the people above me are trying to say.
    It seemed perfet to me though.
    5/5
    Loved the way you killed Ginny........Voldemort's line was superb...'That'll never happen' (so true, lol)....story is so full of win.
    If it was orgasmic then I'm still feeling the waves of ecstacy crash onto me............looking forward to reading any other works from you.
