Hi all! Summer's almost over, but I'll still be critiquing. Throw those pieces my way! The following is some more information about what I can and can't critique.

What I won’t (can't!) critique:

- historical fiction
- any horror
- scripts

At the moment, I'm not able to do advanced critiques either.

What I'll critique:

I'll try anything apart from those mentioned above, but my favourite types of writing to critique are:

- any type of poetry
- lyrics
- romantic fiction
- fanfiction (if I know the subject, otherwise I'd be of little help)

What I look for:

- the basics: grammar and spelling
- word choice and imagery
- theme
- general structure: is there a strong beginning/ending?
- features specific to the genre: e.g. poetry – rhythm
- the positive: I always try to point out positive aspects of pieces because I think it's important to know what has been done well. :)

In return:

If you are feeling very generous, you could critique anything from my portfolio because I'd love to get more comments on any of my work. However, a thank you in my guestbook or via PM would also be greatly appreciated!

If you would like a critique, just post the link here. If there are any specific points you want me to check, let me know. I'll send a PM when I've critiqued your work, which shouldn't take more than three days.

My Dawn With Fox, on my Featured Works? Or my Fragments of Indulgence...also on my Featured Works.
Alice: If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

I would spread the cloths under your feet.
But I being poor, have only my dreams,
So tread softly, for you tread on my life.

Heya,


I know summer's basically over, but I'm hoping you're still willing to review stuff??

The story's called Haunted, but don't worry, it's not horror (I realized you don't like scary stuff, so that basically eliminated most my stories :P ) it's more of a real-life-ish type of thing. It isn't a happy-go-lucky story, though. Whatever, guess you'll see :wink:

Do tell me if I ask too much haha!

It's called The Darkness Within:

http://www.youngwriterssociety.com/topic32793.html

It's the story I'm most focused on all the time, as it's kind of the novel I've been working on.

Let me know if you can review it?

Imagination is a superpower. Use it well!



That's how we should measure our lives. Not in distance traveled, or time passed, or worlds conquered, but in moments... and the rush of joy—of grace—that exists within them.
