To Whom It May Concern,

Since everyone else did this already, Esme though she’d do it, too. And since she very much enjoys ripping others’ work into shreds, and finding mistakes that, if they were in her own, she’d not… indeed, why not? Certainly not because that ability goes poof! when it comes to her own work, no… But never you mind! It’s me whose supposed to be nosy! Not trying your hand at usurpation, are you?

*glares.

But, a list! A list of what Esme critiques! Well, a hint: You’ll see her lurking around the Fiction forums, never, ever in the Poetry ones, though she tends to avoid (read: runs away screaming) non-fiction and lyrics, and science fiction (if back to Fantasy). Photography? Photography, you ask?

She’ll say it’s pretty.

Anyway. Ekhem. Post what you want critiqued here, and most probably you’ll get a line-by-line one, followed by any impressions, likes and disliked Esme might have.


Cheers! Felicitation! Regards! Yours faithfully!

Hey! I've seen your awesomeness critiques and I've always wanted one! sorry, I can't provide a link, but it's called Run, Fat Boy, Run! Day 1. It's short, and it's the first day of my new story.

Please and thank you!

I would love to have my present novel be torn to shreds. It's a format that I'm trying for the first time and have no idea what I'm doing. Here's the linkie to the first part:

Hey! I'm working on a new short story, and this is the first part of Abductions. I would love you to rip it apart!

Sythe,

Yours is done ^^ I did forget to state that I rarely do sci-fi, but since you already asked I did it. The question is, was it any good? Eh.

Shocked Have you always been purple? If not, congrats! If so...blame it on the freaky Tuesday that feel like a Friday! Rolling Eyes

Part One
Part Two
Part Three

You know you love me. Wink

Anyways, that's (maybe?) the last for a while. I'm just in love with your critiques! You helped so much - I'm looking forward to revising.

If you don't want to do more from me, or if you just want to do me last, that's fine. Wink

Thanks!
