Couldn't think of a more creative title, so went with a classic.

For my reviewing style, I'm pretty nit-picky. Grammar, structure suggestions, what to take out, what to add in, etc. If it's a short story/novel, then I'll be very critical of the character(s). If there's anything specific you want me to pay special detail to, then let me know.

So, to make things less cluttered, I think I should compose a list.

Reviewing style:
- Grammar and punctuation
- Sentence/paragraph structure/flow and specific suggestions.
- Character development/personality/reactions in specific situations and overall.
- Sections to delete, re-word, or add in.
- Will usually have sections with all details listed above in quotes.
- If I said nothing about a certain section of the manuscript, then I think there's nothing to be changed about it.

Manuscripts I review:
- Poetry (all types)
- General Fiction Short Stories
- Romantic Short Stories
- Historical Fiction Short Stories
- Action/Adventure Short Stories
- Novels: Please specify if you need a specific chapter to be reviewed or the entire novel. If it's the entire novel, I will do my best to get it done as soon as possible with the same quality and time I put into all my other reviews, but know that it will take some time because I don't really spend every waking moment of my life on here, sadly. But I will get it/them done.

Fanfiction Short Stories:
I do review Fanfiction, but only if I know the topic it's over really well. I'll list a few books below, if you have a question about one that's not, please PM me before posting the link.
- Eragon series
- Harry Potter series
- Thirst/Twilight series
- The Immortal Instruments series

If it's a show/comic strip/etc. PM me with details and I'll see if I can help.

And, no, I'm not big on Science Fiction reader, or fan. Sorry. :/

Let the requests come 'eth forth!

Hey artsy! I think I will be the first one to request a review from you! yay. Here's the link: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=91865

This is an adventure/fantasy story. So far this is the first and only chapter online. So, as you wrote, I would love if you could nitpick characters and such. Although it is only one chapter, so development can only go so far. Thanks so much! If you want a review from me, message me i would be glad to.

Stargazer; Sorry for not writing a review as quick as I had hoped to. I've been very busy lately. I will try and get to it this weekend!
