Apparently I don't have enough points to be able to submit my story to the advanced critique section. So I figured this would be a good way for me to be able to get more points.
Types of writing I'll read
Short stories
Novels/chapters from novels
Types of writing I WON'T read
Poetry
Poetry just doesn't stick with me. The only poetry I've ever really enjoyed has been Shel Silverstein, but that's just -reading- and not critiquing.
Scripts/plays (although it could depend on what it's about)
Genres I'll read
Fantasy/action/adventure (to me they're kinda the same in some ways)
MAYBE some fan fiction- but probably only Star Wars
Genres I won't read
Modern day fiction or non-fiction
Sci-fi (unless it's Star Wars, which falls under fan fiction)
Romance (it can certainly be -part- of, say, a fantasy story, but I'd prefer it to not be the primary genre)
Horror
Crime
I can't think of anything else, but I'm sure I'm forgetting a genre.
Critiquing strengths
Grammar/spelling
Character development, to an extent
Plot development, to an extent- possibly giving ideas if something is sparked
Dialogue
I don't currently really have a critiquing sample to link to- at least, nothing that's not more than maybe a paragraph long that I can think of. If you absolutely need one, I'll go look and see if I can find anything.
In return for the critique...
I would love some more critiques for my Child of Ashes story, which is the story I want to put up in the advanced critique section. I only have the prologue and first two chapters posted here, but if you don't mind downloading the third and fourth chapters (because that's all I have written, sadly), you can read them in the advanced critique section once I get them posted.
Child of Ashes: Outcast- prologue
Chapter One: Fate Knocks
Chapter Two: Cesarina's Return
I think that's about it. As people request, I'll make a list of the stories I'm going to critique in this post and the ones I'll have posted critiques for.
As of today, April 25th, I would like to only take five requests for critiques. This will change eventually, but right now I'm restricting it to five.
