 Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2008 12:26 pm Post subject: Chasing critiques? |
 |
|
Hi all! Summer's almost over, but I'll still be critiquing. Throw those pieces my way! The following is some more information about what I can and can't critique.
What I won’t (can't!) critique:
- historical fiction
- any horror
- scripts
At the moment, I'm not able to do advanced critiques either.
What I'll critique:
I'll try anything apart from those mentioned above, but my favourite types of writing to critique are:
- any type of poetry
- lyrics
- romantic fiction
- fanfiction (if I know the subject, otherwise I'd be of little help)
What I look for:
- the basics: grammar and spelling
- word choice and imagery
- theme
- general structure: is there a strong beginning/ending?
- features specific to the genre: e.g. poetry – rhythm
- the positive: I always try to point out positive aspects of pieces because I think it's important to know what has been done well. 
In return:
If you are feeling very generous, you could critique anything from my portfolio because I'd love to get more comments on any of my work. However, a thank you in my guestbook or via PM would also be greatly appreciated!

Hi, do you think you could critique my chapter story?
Here's a link to Chapter One : http://www.youngwriterssociety.com/topic34013.html Tell me if you can't find the following chapters and I'll send you links.
Thankyou so much. This is really helpful.

Heya,
I know summer's basically over, but I'm hoping you're still willing to review stuff??
The story's called Haunted, but don't worry, it's not horror (I realized you don't like scary stuff, so that basically eliminated most my stories  ) it's more of a real-life-ish type of thing. It isn't a happy-go-lucky story, though. Whatever, guess you'll see

Thanks!!

I'm back to beg for another review
*please please please please  *
Do tell me if I ask too much haha!
It's called The Darkness Within:
http://www.youngwriterssociety.com/topic32793.html
It's the story I'm most focused on all the time, as it's kind of the novel I've been working on.
Let me know if you can review it?
