So, as you can see, I've spruced up my WRFF thread a bit. Several reasons behind that bit of logic:

1) I feel bad for all of the people who I forgot about in this thread. Honestly, it's not that hard to go and do a review, but hey, I suck. This is me starting fresh (well, as fresh as I can, short of starting yet another WRFF thread and clogging the forum). New mindset and new reviews.

Which brings me to my second excuse for changing the title!

2) New reviews. From now on, I'll be doing my absolute best in the critiques I do through this thread. If that means that I can only do one a day because they take so long, then so be it. You'll just have to wait, you big baby.

3) This goes along with reason number two, but it looks so spiffy when I give it its own number: I want the Reviewer II Badge. I want to be THAT helpful. And thus, I shall learn how to be. :D With your help, it shouldn't be too hard. : )

And with that, let's get to the good stuff:

Things I will review:

Fiction (Short Stories):

Fantasy
Action/Adventure
Science-Fiction
General Fiction
Historical Fiction

Fiction (Novels):

Fantasy
Action/Adventure
Science-Fiction
General Fiction

Misc.:
Art/Photography
Other
Advanced Critiques (expect a delay)
Lyrics (will be mildly harsh)


Poetry:

Dramatic
Lyric
Narrative
Other


Things I'll do if you're nice and don't mind my grumblings:

Non-fiction
Scripts


Things I won't be caught dead reviewing by default of gender:

Romantic novels/short stories
Most fan-fiction*, particularly the Twilight kind

*But if it's not a Twilight fanfic, then let me know, and I'll see if I can do something for you. Just don't take it personally if I don't want to. :P


And there you have it! I think I pretty much covered every topic...how lame, right? Well, just keep in mind that I'm looking to be helpful in any way possible, and if that means I have to be brutally honest with you, then I probably will be. : ) Good luck.

Could you please review this? Pretty please, it's a fantasy fiction story, and (for now) is E rated. It's not too long, not sure how many words, but it's only the beginning. Please, please, please with a cherry on top?

To everyone who's requested so far: Thank you! I can't get to them right now on account of a sneaky illness, but don't worry! They'll get done.

Stelagineva: Review what? It might help if you gave me a link or told me what it was. :lol:

Hey, I'd love it if you would review my 4th chapter of my novel I'm writing.
It's possible to jump in and not read the previous chapters (I've included a summary), so don't worry too much.

Chaos Theory: The Zombie Effect Chapter 4
http://www.youngwriterssociety.com/topic60176.html

Also, if you have an idea for a better title for my story, please tell me!

What about a war story about the General of the US Army and his battle against Twilight's vampires? The only thing that connects it to Twilight is that they sparkle when the flames of the apocalyptic war shine on them. Before they are ripped to shreds by .50 caliber bullets or by missiles from jet and rpgs, or blown apart by the mortar rounds of tanks. :smt003

Hehe the descriptions of war are very prevalent in my piece.

It's the sequel really, to Hunting Death. You may have seen it on the featured list. :P
