(Un)Timely Reviews

Kale · 2010-05-24T01:15:23Z

Once upon a time, I offered in my signature to review people; all they had to do was PM me with their request. Quickly did my inbox fill with requests, and oftentimes were these requests for multiple reviews. And so it came to pass that I got overwhelmed by all the requests and so deleted the offer from my signature. But the PMs kept coming, and so I, staring balefully at my inbox, thus decided to make a thread in this here forum so that I could at least keep track of everyone's requests (and thus preserve my meager sanity). Rules Do not request more than two works at a time. Especially if one of the works is a full novel/novella. Do not request I review a work that falls under my "Will NOT Review" category. I will not review it. Please do provide a link to the work(s) you want me to review. I will not fish around in your portfolio to find them. Please tell me the category your work is (poetry, novel, short story, etc.) and the genre(s). A reply to my review (in whatever form you choose) is required if you want to make more than one request. I take a long time to write up in-depth reviews, and if it seems as if someone does not appreciate them, I do not review that person again. Important Notes Unless you specifically request I review by a particular time, I will get around to reviewing whenever I get around to reviewing. Just be aware that requesting a particular time for me to review by might result in me rejecting your request. While I place priority on works that are posted on YWS, I do also provide feedback on works privately . If you are interested in having me beta read something you don't want to publicly post, let me know and we can discuss terms. At all times do I reserve the right to reject your request for no apparent reason. Preferred Genres Fantasy Mythology Science-Fiction Nonfiction Neutral Genres Action/Adventure General Fiction Historical Fiction Horror Supernatural Unfavorite Genres Fanfiction Romance I WILL Review Poetry Lyrics ( 1 ) All Forms of Nonfiction Short Stories Novels and Novellas ( 2 ) Art and Photography Other I WILL NOT Review Fanfiction ( 3 ) Stories with explicit sex scenes Works that are not proofread I MAY Review Scripts ( 4 ) Footnotes (1) In general, I will critique lyrics as if they were poetry. I will be slightly more lenient with regards to repetition and imagery, but otherwise, I see no reason why lyrics should get an easy pass just because they're lacking their musical accompaniment. (2) If you request me to review your entire novel/novella, unless you specifically ask I do so, I will not do a chapter-by-chapter. Instead, I will leave an overall review on the novel/novella's latest chapter. (3) The only exception is if I am familiar with the fandom and enjoy reading fanfiction in said fandom. (4) If you ask me really nicely. Just don't expect any great feedback; I'm not very familiar with scripts.

You've, like, totally changed your username. Awesome!

Anyways, when you find the time, could you please review my fantasy short story? It's insanely messy and illogical right now, so I'd appreciate some help to clean it up.

Please and thank you!

I didn't know what to put here so I put this.

Damn how is this down on page 3 of WRFF?

Can you look at either of these
Lerra

or

Life after

Both horror, both new, both in need of a review. Of course I don't expect you to get to both (or either.)
