Basically, I'm asking for too much, but I've read a lot. I expect plenty. In other news, this means I'm pretty knowledgeable, at least. I'm not perfect, same as anybody and I doubt you thought I was, but I do know my shiz most of the time.

*Though I won't be able to nitpick the formatting quite as much as the other two, I can review these for creativity and sense-making, plot and characters, etc.
Things I Don't Really Like to Read:
- Very religious/anti-religious things--unless you go Song of Ice and Fire or Supernatural, then that's okay. (Yeah, I don't make sense.)
Bigoted shiz. Basically, your characters can be hateful, but if I get the feeling you want to go lynch people, I will be fearful.
Lots of language, gore, or adult scenes. I can handle some, but--I mean, make it have a purpose? And fit the genre? And what you want to achieve with the literary work?
Romance. Unless it's angsty and dramatic and sort of sub-genre-y. Not woe-be-to-be-with-my-lack-of-a-SO or I'm-so-hot-without-glasses-look! or I-so-hate-him-oh-heck-lets-make out.
In relation to everything, I'm not very emotional. Hence, reviewing things with someone crying/screaming/whatever all the time will just confuse me.
Yeah, basically you can format your queries however you like, just remember to leave a link to the piece or pieces you want reviewed and, if novella or novel, leave me a brief plot overview I can go from to help with plot. I can do novel-follows, too--from chapter one to the nth chapter. Of course, if I find I cannot review a piece for personal reasons, I'll tell you and explain why. Otherwise, ask away.
Also, know I'm pretty good with helping with grammar, spelling, plot, pacing, character, description, etc. As mentioned, nowhere near perfect, but I think I have firm footing. Oh, and, be warned; while I'm generally nice, I can be a pretty harsh critic. I try avoiding it, but I'll be honest.
Oh! Also, I would love, love, LOVE to review me some novels. I crave them. They're my favorite form of fiction, I think; apart from well-thought out British-style TV drama (they're a form of fiction, okay?). So, yes. You need a NOVEL FOLLOW? I am here. (Be warned I will be picky still, but, yeah, novels or novellas? That's like an automatic one-fourth of a yes or something.)
Some Prior Reviews of Mine**:
**I'm aware they're pretty short, but I can certainly go more in depth for a piece that requires more work or the author's told me what to look for. They are also sadly not very nitpick-y, but I didn't want to scare anyone off with my long lists of suggested edits I make. o.o Plus, that'd be heck to read through. Basically, I'm doing this because it's expected and you can get a small taste of my tone when reviewing.
