Due to a stunning lack of responses to some of my latest work, I have decided to take this somewhat drastic option. I say "drastic" because I only review stories I like or enjoy - there's a requisite standard of writing that must be there to even keep me going.
I'll start by saying I hate the Fantasy Forum with a passion. By and large, I have only read fantasy novels - in all their infinite variety - since I began to read books seriously. This means two things: One, I love the Fantasy Genre and Two: my standards are ridiculously high. For this reason, given that 85-90% of the stories in the Fantasy Forum are just rubbish, I hate it.
There's a reason for that though: the majority of the writers in that Forum are young teens, 11, 12, 13 and onward but there aren't very much older, experienced writers posting in there. Now its great that the uber-youngin's are exploring their creative side and its only natural for them to be more interested in this genre then others, but its really, really painful for me to go through the stories. With time, I'm sure the gems of creativity displayed there will mature into great stories but for now, I can barely stand to read them.
So, obviously that and Horror, are my areas of expertise. I warn you not to ask for a review in that genre, unless your fairly sure i'll finish reading it and thus be able to comment on it. I'm happy, of course, to review anything.
The two projects I'm hoping will be looked at in return are: Shadow of the Sun and Magda, both of which can be found in my portfolio.
Here's to helping hands,
sincerely Sinister,
Jiggy
