Welcome to Rach and Ribbit's Reviews, Incorporated! We are currently OPEN for business. Yes: + Any original fiction (aka, not fan fiction) + Especially fond of fantasy and science fiction. + Romance writers proceed only at your own risk. + Please warn me if there are hurt and/or suffering animals involved Nope: FanFiction, Poetry, Art, Photography, Lyrics, Gushy Teen Romances Cost: Nothing! (But I am a fan of bribes...such as pictures adorable kittens or chocolate) Instructions: if interested, post a link (or else) and a short description (title, genre, category, etc.) and specify what, if anything, you want me to look at in particular. The Rules: --If you post more than one thing (e.g., chapter one and chapter two) at a time, I reserve the right to only review the first one. Re-request if you want me to read the second (or third, or whatever it happens to be) -- Respond to my review so that I know you saw it . You don't have to like or thank me. You can even yell at me. --Patience. Or else. My Reviews and Reviewing Style --I will never tell you something I don't mean. -- My main priority is making you a better writer, improving your writing in general. The piece itself is secondary in my considerations. -- I do not "line-by-line" critique . If you want one of those, go somewhere else. --I like to have conversations with you, the writer, in the critique. As a result, the reviews are rambly. Qualifications, Specialties, Etc. --I'm very, very good with American English grammar and writing mechanics. I will seek out and find the structural weaknesses in your writing and show you how to fix them--and leave the fixing to you. --I'm very, very into plot. --I know the epic fantasy genre very well. --In the end, I'll say whatever comes to mind while I'm writing the review/critique. --This is my favorite out of the reviews I've done: White Eyes Part One, first part of review --I have a B.A. with honors in German and Linguistics and write professionally for an audience of up to 80,000 people. Notes: --I'm busy, so be patient --I'm in an odd time zone, so be patient --I will review through PM --I will "just read and respond" to something--i.e., focus on ideas and potential --I will review your entire novel --I will be adopt godnovels --I will line edit for a price --Type "Ribbit is awesome" somewhere in your request post so I know you read this through

You know, I really don't need much payment, Skins. The second guy will do perfectly.

Guess, I'll give this a try . . .

If you review The Land of Spirits (Chap. One) I will give you . . . *rummages through desk drawer* The Super Secret Manuscripts for Harry Potter: Book 8, Twilight Saga: Book 16, The Bible: 2010 Edition and . . . 2 paper clips, an old cracked flash drive, 13 chewed pencils, and a roll of tape!

Please? Quick Synopsis:

Two boys find themselves stuck in a land of ghosts and spirits. If they want to get home, they must do so fast, because time is running out.

There are those that live in the past. Those who focus on the present. I strive to be Futuristic.

Hi! Would you be able to review this for me? http://www.youngwriterssociety.com/post760055.html#p760055

If you do, you get this cat dressed as a frog!

And if you don't... I'll come to your house and write 'wash me!' in the dust on your car, and then your shame will know no end. And if you don't have a car, I'll write it in tiny lettering on your bicycle. There is no escape!

..pretty please?

(That cat-frog might be the most disarmingly appealing gift for her on this thread, I think

Hey, mind reviewing this short story for me? I've Already Tried ~contest entry~

No? Well, what if I give you several books stolen from my sister's room (it's scary full of boy-crazed romances in there), a six pack of multicolored mechanical pencils, and a dozen smilies?

Please and thank you!

Ahh! I was so sad to see that your thread is closed. But why are people still posting?! And when I clicked the "reply" button the title has an "open!" in parentheses and I just feel like you're such a perfect reviewer for my character--a girl who has entered her teens five years ago who would rather fantasize about being inducted in some surreptitious agency than to learn how to concoct a succulent dish which she might actually find practical and useful in future matters. Please do review me LOL

Hey Rach, could you review this flash for me? It's called Heaven and it's in Historical Fiction.
