Ok; my critiques are going to drastically improve
so expect some big changes.
I'm only going to accept ten a week, so they will be very indepth, although I might possibly extend this if I find that I'm quicker than originally expected.
I will post them here like this : -
Week one
1. Kiss the witch -Dr/Mr Vanderguard Milton
2 Niccy - Firebird and Scars
3 LoveableLittleSock - Walking in the dark.

and I shall pm you when I have done yours
I will critique anything, my review will be something like this:
The whole thing quoted, individual sentence by sentence, commenting on the good (and not so good) parts) followed by headings dialogue. character development etc then discussion of why the good parts are good, and why the bad parts are bad. Followed by tips and an overall impression. Including my thoughts upon what message you are trying to convey to the reader. This may end up being a download document if it's too long.
Please note: I am very philosophical, I go very deep into everything and depict messages that you may not even have intended the readers to feel. I will also do analysises on individual characters
I may also include some activities for you to try to improve certain parts, and will discuss your characters. I may also have suggested reading.
I analyse things very deeply
please don't be afraid of my reviews. I don't go into grammatical errors too much, unless they are blatantly obvious. Mainly because I don't believe that grammar is the point of writing. I mean; I don't care if your grammar is atrocious, because that's not really what writing's about. Is it? No; it's about more than that, it's about escaping and being yourself. Teaching us something new.
Note: I don't really want individual chapters, compile several or the whole novel. As long as possible please I don't want short things and definitely not individual chapters. Ok; you may feel that one chapter needs extra work, instead just give me the whole thing, or at least several chapters, I don't mind xD
Ok; I want one. What do I do?
Tell me. Simple as that. Post the link here and the name. Remember Kirsten's golden rules.
Kirsten's Golden Rules.
Make it long!!!! - no short things please, bet people don't say that often and remember, if you don't have anything short you can add another story onto the end, even if it's nothing to do with the first. So that I have something of considerable length to critique.
And what if I just want one chapter critiqued?
Then post several, I want to analyse this thing! I don't just want one chapter, c'mon give me more. I want lots and lots and lots I have a greed for words.
Don't expect it to be ripped to pieces. Don't expect me to rip your work to shreds, expect me to analyse it to shreds but not to rip it to shreds.
And the difference is? I'm not going to go on about how terrible your grammar is, or how underdeveloped your characters are. I'm going to delve deep into the meanings of your story, what you're trying to convey and why. I'm going to inform you and improve your work.
Expect a lot of comments.
Expect the critique to be long. Very long.
And what about poetry, art, scripts etc?
Ah; scripts - well they'll just be the same as fiction ^ the very long thing up there
Art; post several pieces, I will try my best to comment on contrast etc but I am by no means a photographic genius or anything so I will try Poetry, compile them, include as many as you like.
Get you now, but what if I've already posted them all on individual threads?
That's fine too, just post all the links and I will comment on them all in the one document, with subheadings for each poem. Even if you have thirty, I will do them all, although I can't name a time period for that many
Anything else?
No.
hehe the last one was just for the pointlessness of it, I'm evil, I know

I will get them done eventually, it might just take a while
