Once in a lifetime you might have the fortune of viewing a ShadowVyper sprung from its den; but, while viewing one isn't likely, you can often sense one's presence if you know where to look. You my friend have found the place a particular Vyper frequents (laying a pizza out would've drawn this one just as easily); it is opportunities like these are best utilized by having the Vyper peruse your scrolls containing precious gems that are words.
As with all ShadowVypers, the one you have come across has favorite things to review; and certain things that makes it curl its tongue in disgust. Luckily, this Vyper, while harsh in judgement, is kind with guidelines, and has provided these for you.
Favorite Things to Review
Serious Fantasy - this includes creatures such as dragons, Orcs, urgals, serpents, scorpions, wizards, and basically anything else that has more venom coursing through its veins than I do.
And
Essays- This ShadowVyper's allegiance lies with one true God, Jesus Christ; anything attacking said belief will result in a lethal dose of venom, that will make you cower before the wrath of the Vyper.
This Vyper is also very intune with nature, and enjoys essays which touch on the topic of science. Any sort of science pleases this Vyper; though this Vyper will tolerate nearly any essay (which is not a promise that it will be knowledgable on the topic, so much as it will be willing to tear it apart).
Moderate Topics
Poetry
This Vyper appreciates a good poem when it sees it; though, being a new poet itself, has a limited knowledge of what it truly means to be a poet. Therefore, this Vyper is willing to attempt its hand at poetry, under the understanding that it may come back bitten and inadequate.
Science Fiction
This Vyper tends to pass between Earth and some universe in which fantasy rules; and often finds itself bewildered when it accidentally slips into the world of science fiction. Therefore this Vyper often leaps across that fine line seperating fantasy and sci-fi, only to limp back bewildered and confused; but always leaves better grammar and punctuation where it has been.
Horror
The reason this Vyper regularly abandons the shadows is because it's squeamish. Gore and death are fine, but this Vyper isn't a big fan of supernatural beings.
Romance
While this Vyper isn't a fan horror, it's not a gushy Vyper-- and it's not a fan of romance. As long as there's an actual storyline, this Vyper has agreed to endure romance-- but, be warned, Vyper's intuition spots bad romance a mile away, and it will come crumbling to its knees.
Things Detested by this Vyper:
Bubbly Fantasy
On the other end of the spectrum, this Vyper despises that which dares to call itself 'fantasy'. That horror. That...type of piece...which involves unicorns, pixies, rainbows, butterflies, and generally every other thing that can easily be killed. The Vyper will review it, but don't expect a favorable outcome.
Fan fiction
Respect yourself. Just kill it now.
and
Pieces with descriptive bedroom scenes
This Vyper will not tolerate ANY descriptive intimate parts. If the scene fades out, then, fine-- but no sex scenes. The Vyper does not care if the scene is surrounded by battles and wizards and dragons; no fornicating on this Vyper's turf.
Bring on the requestssssss!
