Although that is definitely longer, and lacks the issues mentioned in the original reply, it sort of doesn't tell me much about your writing style. You've got mainly dry background context - it reads more like a textbook than a story of any sort.
But I didn't want to pass judgement on that alone, since I suspect your nerves are misleading you - so I followed a given link to your Deviant Art profile. You've got some good styles going on there, you've got a good grasp on syntax, spelling, grammar, and in general your writing is of good quality.
There is a bit of an issue there, though. The content of the pieces doesn't bother me (We mainly write fictionalized assassins, here, as you may have noticed; very few of us are really aversive to gore, violence, and/or twisted plot elements in general.) But at the beginning of one of your stories, you've got a summary telling people not to bother correcting your mediocre writing skills. In another one, you glibly identify one of the characters as a Mary Sue. I do like your writing, for the most part, but I'm really not comfortable granting permission with that being the attitude showcased. If we're going to go after Sues/Stus, it does not behoove us to go around touting our own writing as work of indifferent quality.
But... that, too, does not seem strong enough for me to outright turn this down. So alas, after all that, I'm going to abstain and wait for another PG to weigh in. Sorry, Specs.
