Vilnius's Reviewing Corner Hey there, writer-in-need! If you'd like me to do a review, please place a link to the work, genre, and type of work in a post. I'd be glad to review the following types of works and genres: Fantasy Realistic Fiction Essays Anything Political, with exceptions First Chapters of All Kinds, with exceptions Poems Artwork (warning, I'm not used to reviewing artwork XD Monologues Steampunk I Will Not Review the Following Items: Anything depicting s*x, r***, or s*x**l abuse Anything that does not include the proper TW (trigger warnings) or age/warning recommendations that are used on YWS Horror (as in, this stuff will give you nightmares, be wary if you read it) Anything more than 2,500 words (with rare exceptions) Chapters in the middle of a book Potential Exceptions Include: If a chapter in the middle of a book I am reading does not have TW or ratings, I will ensure that my first paragraph or so will explain why these are necessary If a work is, say, 2600 words long, I may make an exception I will not review works that promote and support racism, bigotry, homphobia, and other things that are discriminatory towards people just because they aren't "straight enough" or "white enough" or "smart enough" to understand. I reserve all rights to refuse to do a review for a reason outside of anything listed above; if I refuse, a Private (or Direct) Message will be sent to clarify any confusion as to why a review was not done. Testimonials The following writers and poets have graciously allowed me to share their thoughts on my reviews. You're very enthusiastic and cheerful about reviews, and make people feel really good about their works and writing abilities while still pointing out flaws and getting your point across! you also make a lot of sarcastic but friendly comments that make me laugh :) ~ @AceassinOfTheMoon One thing I always love about your reviews is its HONESTYYYY Whether you were saying something good about a piece, or being critical about it, I could tell that you were being honest! And that's very important in reviews!~ I think you also always have a lot of excitement and passion in your reviews, which is something I so adore! Your notes and critique are VERY HELPFUL, and give me a lovely idea of where I've went wrong and where I haven't! SO YES, YOUR REVIEWS ARE POSITIVELY FANTASTIC, and I hope you continue to do a lot of them!!! ~@Euphoria8 Reviews tend to be to the point, makes them easy to understand, easy to read. Positive/encouraging at beginning/end. Points for improvement not always super detailed, but some people probably prefer it that way honestly XD ~@Stringbean

I'm pausing this thread until further notice because I have challenged myself to review all of the works of several people. Feel free to leave a work here, it just might take me a while to get around to it.

This isn't going well at the moment, so I'm pausing this.

Hey Vil! I have a work with no reviews and I really want to know how I can improve my writing. I'd be happy if you could take a look at it! It would be easier to understand by reading the former chapter/s, but that's totally up to you. Here's the link:

Hi!
If you could review this, that would be awesome! It's a chapter two, so not very far in but if it's too far in, that's ok

Hi, Vil!

I read that you review first chapters, so I would like you to review the prologue to my NaNo novel, please!

If you've got nothing better to review, I've got this :D It's totally fine if you don't want to though

this is Ace erasure and I won't stand for it— silv

I haven't really said anything about ace but that's cause I'm usually speechless with how awesome ace is— Harry
