Young Writers Society

Heya everybody.
I've come back after thirty years.
Uh, again.
But since summer is approaching I want to get back in the game.
I still don't know whether or not I've lost my touch on being harsh and all that junk,
but if you don't want me to be nice, all you gotta do is ask, and I'll be more than happy to reply.
Last time I skimped out a lot on stories I should have reviewed,
but fear not! I am a changed woman.
Slash girl.
Slash..
reviewer.

So anyway, I'm harsh, unless you ask otherwise. I won't hesitate to tell you a paragraph sucks, or the plot sucks, but that doesn't mean my reviews totally focus on downing your self-esteem. If your plot bites, your characters are shallow, and you can't write if your life depended on it, I'll help you. It's what I'm here for. See, when I critique, I comment on every single line. Every. Single. Line. You could ask for an overall, general review of the story, not an in-depth one, and I'll try. I'll probably fail, but gosh darn-it I'll try. I have no examples or anything at the moment, because I haven't been online in quite a while, but you could just go through my recent posts and find a couple.


Anydoodle, I review everything, pretty much:

FICTION
I usually hang around the romantic fiction forum, so if you've got something posted in there, I'll probably be heading toward that first. But any kind of fiction is wonderful really. I usually tend to stray away from historical fiction, because I don't want to be incorrect or anything, but I'm willing to take some risks.

POETRY
Ah, poetry. I'm not too experienced within that field, but don't think I won't hesitate to rip it apart. I'm usually a sucker for narrative and lyrical poetry, but any kind of genre is fine. There's nothing I really won't critique. Just PM me or something if I misinterpret your poem or I make you cry or...

MISCELLANEOUS
Scripts? Essays? Song Lyrics? Photography? I'll be happy to do them all. Please don't refrain from asking me if you're not sure I'll do it - I'll try my damnedest to get it done.

But please,
do not ask for more than one critique at a time. I hate it when people give me four stories or poems, as if they're the one person who wants a review. It takes me an hour or two to critique like, 2000 words. If you post more than one link, I'll ignore any others besides the first one. Please wait until I finish your first request before you ask me for the second.
If I take longer than 3 days to get to your story, PM me and I'll try to get right on it, along with giving you a lousy excuse and apology.

And I don't charge points or anything for reviews. They'd be nice, I guess. Donate points if you want, that'd be wonderful and awesome of you :] With that being said, feel free to submit your request for a critique.

Hello!

Here's my first piece here, only the prologue for now though.

topic49035.html

edit:
So anyways, it'll be a fantasy, adventure/action, philosophical a bit, kind of novel.
Please be as harsh as you can. My intention on writing this novel is to make it epic. Something that can match The Lord of the Rings(heheheh), so yes, if you really know how to make it better, story-wise, plot-wise, character-wise, please do so.

cheers,
Tuna

(I just edited a review request post, is that unusual? @_@ )

Thanks much!

It's been a while, so I don't know if you remember...but yeah, those Vicissitudes stories? They're kind of lacking in love, and would love your love again.

Well, that sentence didn't make any sense. >_>

Here's the first story, to refresh your memory, but you can start from whichever point you like (because I remember you already reviewed some of them): topic37792.html

Carly and JFW, I got to yours. They're sort of crap because I'm tired and I'm no good at lyrics or poetry, but enjoy nevertheless.

Bickazer, I'll get to yours soon. you have like 30 million of those stories, and so I'll get to each one.. soon. I'll try :]

And asxz, I pmed you about this, only one piece. Just give me one. But I'll get to the first one soon, I promise

Can I request another one? (If not just ignore).

Again, please tear apart. I know they could use some work And again, take as long as you need.

Thanks!

Hi!
I was wondering if you would be willing to review my entry for Rosie Unicorn's contest. It's PG & Fantasy Fiction.

P.S. I don't mind harsh criticism, it helps me learn and that's what I'm all about here:)
