Hey! I recently became an instructor. What do instructors do best? Review!

I will review...

Any genre. Seriously.

On Poetry and Art

I will very hesitantly review poetry. I am not a poet.

I will definitely review art. Keep in mind a detest modern pieces.

On Fanfics

Let me say this outright. I loathe Twilight. Therefore, I do not really want to review Twilight fanfics. I will review them if the involve killing Bella.

Other Rules

I will not review if the piece is more than 3 and a half Microsoft Word Pages. If you would like me to critique a long piece, post it in parts. If you hand me 80 pages to review, I will only review about 5.

EDIT: If giving me a chapter from the middle of your story, (example: asking me to review Chapter 3) could you please give me a quick summary so I know what's going on?

How to Post

Tell me title.
Tell me the genre.
Brief summary is appreciated!
Link

If it is a Fan Fiction piece, tell me what it is based off of.

Example:

Title: Peter Pantaloon and the Rouge Marshmallow
Genre: Fantasy
Brief Summary: Peter Pantaloon is out shopping for a purple sheep. He hears a tale of the ancient Rouge Marshmallow, a giver of immortality. He goes off on a quest.

Fanfic Example:

Title: Super Twilight Fanfic
Genre: Fan Fiction
Brief summary: Edward's skin stopped sparkling! Oh no! What will the Cullen's ever do?
Link: youngwriterssociety/meep

Send me links, people!

Edit: PLEASE NO MULTIPLE CHAPTER REQUESTS. After receiving requests of up to six reviews at once from one user, I have decided that multiple critiques will not be offered. If I review one of your chapters and you want a review of the others, feel free to post them ONE AT A TIME in my thread.
I will stop taking all multiple requests after Asxz's post on MARCH 1, 2009!


Thanks!

I've never really seen somebody who'll review almost anything. This is pleasant.

Title: Writing a Letter
Genre: Other Fiction
Brief Summary: Tradition is hard to break.
Link: topic40363.html

Do you want anything in return?
There once was a cat.
He wasn’t particularly fat.
Fuzzy was his favorite mat.
And really, that was that.

Oh, but did you really think so?
Keep reading, it’s just the start of the show!
And as for how far this tale will go…
Well, even the cat doesn’t know.

well I really need my third chapter to be reviewed. Its not really important to know what "Silent Hill" is, even though it's a fanfiction. All you need to know is that "Silent Hill" is a town where people's worst fears take shape.

topic40923.html

If you need to know what is happening Beth is looking for her missing sister. Right now she is currently in Silent Hill, with Sera. Sera is a really nice person who wants to help Beth, however Beth hates Sera.

prologue- Beth has a dream that her sister disappears, and it comes true

ch1- 4 years later Beth (18 years old) thinks about the past, and how no one really looked for her sister (Alex). Sera makes her appearance. It's highschool graduation day, and Beth leaves her hometown (Ashfield) and heads to Silent hill to find her sister. (Since she got a note in Alex's handwriting saying "Silent Hill").

ch2- Beth's car brakes down, and she has a strange dream. After she wakes up, Beth hitchhikes, and surprisingly Sera appears and offers her a ride. When they are driving Beth falls asleep, and has another nightmare.

ch3- topic40923.html

please review it *Begs*
