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

Aaaaand, I'm back. :twisted:

When you find the time, would you mind reviewing the next part of my novel for me, please? I'm a pain in the butt, I know. >.<

Thanks in advance! (Also, Paul wants to know if Ribbit's up for a dinner date tonight. He's thinking seafood.)

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

Have you thanked a teacher lately? You should. Their bladder control alone is legend.

Hi, this is the first in a seven part 'set' of short stories I'm doing for my ext 2 major work. It's based on an old children's rhyme/superstition for counting crows, and goes: "one for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, four for a boy, five for silver, six for gold, seven for a secret never to be told."

my main concerns are about whether it's too angsty or contrived, and about whether it's clear what happens to the character, but any other feedback would also be great thanks

Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" and they will not be tried? (29:2)

Ribbit is awesome, girl!

work.php?id=94052 -- You read the first part of my story, Taking Over -- you reviewed part of it earlier; I added quite a bit and edited it as well.

It's a short-story as of now, fiction; I like to call it a political-tragedy story. The president declares himself, "President for life," or so to say. Thanks!

How about my poem (which I know you don't like to review),

work.php?id=94059

Which I don't write a lot of them.

I can also throw in this:

I don't always write on forums, but when I do, I prefer YWS.

Sharpen your pencil, my friends.

Because I'm such a lovely person, I thought I'd add to your pile of reviews to do. Sorry.

Um, yeah, basically, I've written a new chapter of Stop and Stare that I'd very much appreciate you opinion on. It's a chapter that's been added in near the front of the novel that describes Zoey's sister's funeral because I felt it was needed and yeah, cat, so when you find the time, could you please check it out?

work.php?id=94023

Thanks so much!

P.S. Paul says Ribbit is awesome. And sexy. (He's on heat. Sorry.)

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

Would you mind reviewing that? Thanks!

I am nothing
but a mouthful of 'sorry's, half-hearted
apologies that roll of my tongue, smoothquick, like 'r's
or maybe like pocket candy
that's just a bit too sweet.
