I'm not a grammar nazi. I won't bother correcting your spelling or punctuation. I'll leave that job for the people who seemingly have more time on their hands. I, instead, judge content. I'll comment on your characters, setting and dialogue. I'll be more of a reader than an editor.
I'm not a poetry person. Most poetry I've read in this lifetime has been nauseatingly bad. So if I happen to comment on your piece and admit to liking it, you should feel pretty special. And if I tear it up with critique, you should just remember that I have little tolerance for poetry at all, no matter the form.
And for the record, if I wanted my work edited, I'd find a different site. Though I appreciate any help you can give me, I'd much rather have my work critiqued on content rather than mechanics.

The support you've shown me in these past few weeks has been tremendously helpful to me. I'm blessed to have a friend like you.
I'm glad I can be helpful I didn't do much though, did I? I talked to you one, or two days. But still, I'm glad I helped you. It makes my life all that much better. How did everything go?

Hola, senorita; thank you for your kind words. If you were director of the universe, I think I would ask you to make sure you were happy yourself so often the most powerful people miss themselves out when fixing things up.
Thanks for the welcome Rosethorn - even if you are new as well.
Though I am a grammar Nazi, I'll make sure to judge any of your work solely on content for fear of being scolded. (I don't think poor sensitive me could handle being harshly judged. *sob*) PM me if you want a crit.
