The Rainbow Factory, it's tale isn't quite as nice as sugar and spice as you might think it really is...

First off, this isn't 2nd POV. This is 3rd.

2nd, this is very monotonous unfortunately. You repeat the same line over and over, which I get is the style of your fic, but you overdid it here.

3rd, this brings nothing new to the table. The table being this Rainbow factory verse. The fic shares stuff we already know about.

Finally, this is mostly an experience rather than a story. Has no plot, nor any sort of climax. In fact, each paragraph personally feels like a repeat of the previous one, but in different words. Either you're being too descriptive, or this is just a repetitive piece of work.

I'm not gonna hate on ya for using the Rainbow Factory idea, but you surely didn't convince me that this is unique.

How is it third person if I never say his name?

7926583 2nd POV is where the pronoun "You" is used. In 3rd POV you don't need to say his name. Just by using the pronoun "He" is enough to make this fic a 3rd POV fic.

In writing: Usually when you do a type of repetitive theme or quote, you are usually trying to reinforce it's meaning upon the reader through different perspectives of the same line, theme, or dialogue. It helps to strengthen the tightness of the writing within the story if it keeps reverting back to old plot points with a new, refreshing perspective that isn't boring or extremely repetitive to the levels of annoying. To which, in this case, its very annoying and interrupts the flow of the story itself while serving almost absolutely no purpose for the reader other than giving us a sense of what the factory sounds like. That is it.

Other than that, sk1Tz has already covered my other biggest criticisms.

Edit: Here is a better idea of using a repetitive theme / qoute:

Well the repetition is to emphasize...death? (I guess?)

Stomp, grind, stomp, grind, hiss, repeat.

That got annoying, fast.

7926707
How fast, third, fifth, or seventh line?

7926710 The moment you stopped narrating about it and didn't honestly do anything to change it around and make it sound more original. So... I guess right after you said it the first time. :twilightsheepish:

Okay then... hold on...
