Hello, hello! Are you in need of reviews? I think I can help with that...

Here, you can summon my charmingly demonic Review Familiar! He may be a bit creepy, but he's a handy fellow in providing feedback for your work!

The Familiar can handle sensitive, violent, or otherwise mature themes. Though he specializes in fantasy and horror, any genre is welcome! Chapters, novels, poems, lyrics—doesn't matter, he consumes all. Green Room works will be prioritized, but ones outside the room are also welcome (they may just sit a little longer in the queue).

The ONLY content he will reject is real-world and/or political articles and essays. Human societies do bore him so. (Out-of-character translation: It's not my thing, and my anxiety can't handle it, sorryyyy!)

We WILL shrink a Review's size depending on the work's length! For example, when reviewing poetry, our reviews tend to look more like the standard YWS S'mores method. But the FULL Familiar Method is a little more explorative—the S'mores method, as well as some detailed analyses on Plot and Pacing, Descriptions and Setting, Action (if applicable), Characterization, and Grammar and Wording.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's easy to summon the Familiar to your work! Just reply in this thread, including:

1: The title of your work (a link is also very handy for us)

2: Some brief details about the work (chapter/short story/poem, rough length, genre. This helps us sort our queue and gauge how much time we'll need.)

3: If there are any specific concerns you have with the work (e.g, do you want us to put any extra focus into analyzing the plot, or a certain character?)

Now light a candle and chant "Bloody Raven" in a mirror three times, nyeh heh hehehehe...

If the Familiar is available, he'll respond with an "Accepted!" and appear in your work's comment section anywhere from an hour later, to a few days later (he's very sporadic). It's that easy!

That is all! Have a good day, my friends....

Hey, Rebel here with a request for the Raven's Familiar~!

It's a Boring World [Ch. I, Nine]
I Love Physics! [Ch. II, Nine]
Uh, This is Weird [Ch. III, Nine]
The League of Life [Ch. IV, Nine]
Death and Destruction [Ch. V, Nine]
This Shouldn't Be Possible! [Ch. VI, Nine]
Paadruman, The Tales of Farting [Ch. VII, Nine]
The War of the Worlds, Cards, and Legos [Ch. VIII, Nine]

I would be really glad if you could go through the chapters through 1-8 before reviewing the chapters after those. Although, I'd be very glad anyway if you review every chapter, but that's not needed. I am just slightly sad all of them after Chapter 9, Part I have just been rotting there in the Green Room for 9 months (Kinda ironic ngl).

Love, Hate and 69 [Ch. IX, Nine] - Part I
Love, Hate and 69 [Ch. IX, Nine] - Part II
Goats, Bots and Monkeys [Ch. X, Nine]
A Dank Devil Of A Dream [Ch. XI, Nine]
Prove 1+1=2...? [Ch. XII, Nine]
Joy and Sorrow from Tomorrow [Ch. XIII, Nine] - Part I
Joy and Sorrow from Tomorrow [Ch. XIII, Nine] - Part II

Anyway, enough moping, I would be glad if you do indeed check them out. If you do, I would really like it if you could take your time in doing the reviews, like Orabella did in chapters 1-8. It would probably take some time, so I am sorry for that. 😔

Here is thy calling, O Raven!

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond skies with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the trees, circled by the circus sands --
With all memories and fate, driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow...

Hi Raven! If you are not busy, could your Familiar friend review this short story I just posted? I'm trying a new form of writing, which is short stories, specifically myths. If you are busy, then no worries! Also, here is the link:

The Jewels of Qia - Myth

Thank you so much!

Hey there! I am canopy a Res & Comm Crew mod. Your WRFF thread shows that it is still Accepting, but it's been a bit since any post in the thread. I just want to confirm that it is still Accepting. If not, I'll go ahead and archive it, and you are free to open it back up at any point, just let me or any other Community Crew mod know!

Do let me know if your thread is still accepting! Thank you!
just take a breath, love

I'm not sure if ravena will be becoming back to YWS any time soon, so it's likely the thread isn't accepting anymore.
