Hello!
Basket here! Or Phantom... Or any variation thereof, really. I'm not picky.
Anyhoo...

Need a review?
I'm here to review!

Okay, this is what I prefer to review:
-Action/Adventure Fiction.
-FanFiction (IF I've read it... PM me before asking or I'll more than likely ignore it).
-Fantasy Fiction.
-Romantic Fiction.
-Other Fiction.

I can read these, but you'd probably have to beg. =P (Kidding... maybe if you just ask me nicely.)
-Historical Fiction.
-Science Fiction.
-Art/photography

These I will NOT review:
-Nonfiction.
-Poetry.
-Lyrics.
-Scripts.

In my reviews:
-I'm a grammar and spelling freak. I'll admit, I may miss one or two per review, but I go from line to line, which means reviews usually take an hour or so, depending on the length.
-I usually go for pieces with two or less reviews in it, but I will do the review if, one, you ask me to, and two, the piece hasn't already been nitpicked.
-I haven't quite gotten into the whole character evaluation thing, but I would most definitely start if you asked me to. =D
-I won't mind reviewing a story with many chapters, but I'd prefer the story to have currently up, no more than three chapters. After I do the review for one (or all) of the chapter(s) that is up, then I'll usually continue on reviewing the story as more chapters are posted up, if the story interested me.

Here are a couple that I've done:
How to be an Evil Mastermind (Intro)
Peace, Love and California
Tainted Soul

[spoiler]Completed:
Book of Raziel: Prologue
Venolf War
Book of Raziel: Chapter 1
An Unfulfilled Desire
Defining Strength (Part 1)
The Night I Set The Sky On Fire
Souless (Chapter One, part 1)
On Being A Loser
Invitations[/spoiler]


I will get all reviews done within three days--unless I PM to notify you.

I don't require anything for the review, though a simple "thank you" would be nice. :D

Hello, please take a look at my prologue.

Even though there are already lots of comments, I did lots of changes so I'm not sure if those are enough.

cheers

Hi there Phantom! I don't know yet whether I am entering your contest, I think I will if I have time :). Listen, can you pls pls pls (x100000000000) review my historical fiction story? I hope it's not that bad; I've been wanting a really serious and thorough review for a long time, then I found you! I hope you'll accept to review my writing, for I am currently at a loss how to continue the story. So, please review it, and thanks for creating the contest and having the patience to deal with me!

You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself into one.

The writer, when he is also an artist, is someone who admits what others don't dare reveal.

Une review, sil-vous-plait? :D

topic48758.html

If you really feel like it, you can review the next part and following chapter. But I won't pressure you. :P

Please feel free to be picky. I need some fine-tooth editing.

Crouching Tuna: There you are! I'm not quite satisfied with the chapter 2 review... I was just so confused... I apologize. :(

Palip: There's the review! Hope I helped!

angels_symphony: There they are! I hope I helped and wasn't too messed up from lack of sleep and whatnot. However, if you do have any questions or comment on what I said, do feel free to PM me. :)

fragile_heart(!): Hey! And that is done for you! I'm pretty sure I'm going to continue this, though probably now right now. :P I'm super tired and about to head to bed.



Thanks you four for asking me to review! It was great. If any of you have any questions, comments or concerns, please, don't hesitate to PM me. :)
Thanks once again!

Hello Phantomofthebasket!

Could I call you Basket?

I know you mentioned in your first post that you won't review Non-fiction, but I have a piece that's more of a personal analysis, though it's obviously still Non-fiction...I was hoping I could persuade you?

If you're adamant I understand..but let me know! :)

Thanks!

Hey VivalaMusique! I got that done for you.
Hopefully I helped...
Sorry if I didn't, but I'm not too good at nonfiction...

Thanks for asking me to do a review, though. :D
