Vilnius's Reviewing Corner


Hey there, writer-in-need! If you'd like me to do a review, please place a link to the work, genre, and type of work in a post. I'd be glad to review the following types of works and genres:
  • Fantasy
  • Realistic Fiction
  • Essays
  • Anything Political, with exceptions
  • First Chapters of All Kinds, with exceptions
  • Poems
  • Artwork (warning, I'm not used to reviewing artwork XD
  • Monologues
  • Steampunk

I Will Not Review the Following Items:
  • Anything depicting s*x, r***, or s*x**l abuse
  • Anything that does not include the proper TW (trigger warnings) or age/warning recommendations that are used on YWS
  • Horror (as in, this stuff will give you nightmares, be wary if you read it)
  • Anything more than 2,500 words (with rare exceptions)
  • Chapters in the middle of a book

Potential Exceptions Include:
  • If a chapter in the middle of a book I am reading does not have TW or ratings, I will ensure that my first paragraph or so will explain why these are necessary
  • If a work is, say, 2600 words long, I may make an exception
  • I will not review works that promote and support racism, bigotry, homphobia, and other things that are discriminatory towards people just because they aren't "straight enough" or "white enough" or "smart enough" to understand.
I reserve all rights to refuse to do a review for a reason outside of anything listed above; if I refuse, a Private (or Direct) Message will be sent to clarify any confusion as to why a review was not done.

Testimonials


The following writers and poets have graciously allowed me to share their thoughts on my reviews.

You're very enthusiastic and cheerful about reviews, and make people feel really good about their works and writing abilities while still pointing out flaws and getting your point across!
you also make a lot of sarcastic but friendly comments that make me laugh :)

~ @AceassinOfTheMoon

One thing I always love about your reviews is its HONESTYYYY
Whether you were saying something good about a piece, or being critical about it, I could tell that you were being honest! And that's very important in reviews!~
I think you also always have a lot of excitement and passion in your reviews, which is something I so adore!
Your notes and critique are VERY HELPFUL, and give me a lovely idea of where I've went wrong and where I haven't!
SO YES, YOUR REVIEWS ARE POSITIVELY FANTASTIC, and I hope you continue to do a lot of them!!!

~@Euphoria8

Reviews tend to be to the point, makes them easy to understand, easy to read. Positive/encouraging at beginning/end. Points for improvement not always super detailed, but some people probably prefer it that way honestly XD

If you could review I'm Just A Pet Rock, that would be great! You don't have to if you don't want to.

Also, feel free to review any of my essays if you need to reach some goal!

You're making me pull out a really bad piece of work, but here's a script for you. Tear it to pieces, please.

If you need something to review, you can do my ongoing novel if you're into it.
