Welcome to Critiques by Canislupis!

Doesn't that sound like the name of an over-priced clothing store? Anyway.

Unsure? Look at my shiny reviewer badges!

Done looking? Now ask for a review!

My critiques are free, and I generally go through briefly, looking for typos, etc. Then I give overall comments with what I think can be approved. If you have something in particular for me to evaluate, please ask.

Here's what I like to review:

General Fiction/Other fiction
Fantasy fiction
(PLEASE no vampires unless you're a really, really good writer and have never read Stephanie Meyer. I don't like fantasy war stories much either, unless they're the medieval type)
Historical fiction
Action/Adventure fiction
(Again, don't like war stories much)
Art/photography (Don't expect anything in depth)


I will, but prefer not to review:

Romantic fiction (Especially if it has vampires in it :roll: )
Science fiction (nothing Star-trekky, but futuristic stuff is ok)

I will not review:

Fanfiction
Non fiction
Poetry (I can try, but I know nothing--go elsewhere. :D)
Scripts (See poetry)


I'd prefer short stories, but I don't mind critiquing novels as long as it's not "chapter 35 part one of 7" or something like that.

I love Historical fiction and anything to do with nature/survival/ wild animals.

Please give me about a week to give you your review, at which time if I have not responded, feel free to PM me or remind me here. I'll try to get to you as soon as possible.

[Edit]Please note that I frequently have eight+ reviews pending, mostly requested via PM (which is harder to keep track of) so if I don't respond right away, that's probably why. If it's been a week, ask again.


Thanks!

Title: My Dearest Madelyn
Genre: Romance (sorry) :(
Length: Roughly 2,100 words
Look at: I guess just your initial reaction to the piece? I want to know if it's getting the right reaction from my audience.

Thanks so much!

Historical fiction:

It is called Ashurbanipal
To copy reality is good... But to create reality is much, much better.

ooh... Sorry I couldn't complete those.

Like I said, I'd prefer things that are under PG-13, since, after all, I'm only thirteen. :)

Hey! :)

I'd really appreciate a review on this: topic39467.html
It's Romance ... sorry. I mean, nothing remotely romantic happens in it, so I don't even know why I rated it that. Silly me.

Thanks! If you want a review in return, check out my thread in this forum.

Hey Camille! I'll get to it as soon as I can.

Until then!

[EDIT]Everyone interested in a review:

I will be mostly unavailable through Dec 25, and the day after I will be leaving to go skiing. I will most likely take a few pieces to review while I'm up there, so if you want something reviewed, post it here quickly so I can do it while I'm gone. Anything posted here between now and then will be dealt with as soon as I get back. :)

I'll post this up top as well.

^ Don't worry about how long it takes because it is a long piece, and I am completely willing to donate points for it because it is really long :)
thanks so much and don't worry if you don't do it ;)

Hey! I'm back now, so I can critique new pieces.
  








It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats—the hobbit was fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill —The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called it—and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another.
— JRR Tolkien
