Fic Reviewers 3

[legendaryEon]

Hello y'all^_^ im a former beta reader (its been about a year since i last beta read due to being a very busy person) but im back up at it again.

simply PM if u need me to review. im not a mean person i wont tell you to piss off or anything like that.

my favored genre is- fantasy/romance/action/adventure. if its this genre i will most likely review it hands down. a pokemon inlove with a human isnt a bad thing in my books (i find it kinda cute ya know) well back on track


My style of reviewing

- i can be brutally honest with you but in a good way. (good or bad) i aint rude... im fairly kind actually.

-i got lots of time on my hands so bring it on

-ill give you a number 1-10 simply the higher number you get... the more i liked it if that makes sense


-if u get a 1 or even a zero :S it had alot of mistakes spelling,etc. i didn't like it at all. and don't worry if u get a 1 or zero from me i wont flame ya heck its only me eh. everyone has different opinion.

-if its 2,3,or 4. i enjoyed your fic somewhat but not all of it. it had a fairly large amount of mistakes.


-if you get a 5,6,or7. minor amount of mistakes. but dang it was pretty good keep it up



-achieve an 8 or 9 . you have impressed me. a very good fic and i encourage you to continue writing because you got talent.


- but then again if u get an 10!!! you officially just blew my mind and kudos to you ^_^ for writing a masterpiece.


you have my support if you get over 5 out of 10. i will gladly work with you in future.


i will NOT review your fic if it includes any of the following

-Yaoi or yaio however you spell it. me being a guy and reading something that has homosexuals in it is simply just a No go. (no offense)

-Characters from the anime Ash,Brock,May etc (so basically have your own characters. i find it cool to have your own characters making your own characters requires alot creativity. and having creativity is just awesome.)

- extreme gore,blood,bad language, +18 rating etc

-if its not in the Pokemon universe

-if it has crossovers of any sort (Ex. Naruto meets a pokemon) i don't really like that stuff.

thats about it

oh yeah i almost if its in the horror genre i wont read it Period. a death or two is acceptable ...just not to much

My god!! it took me long to post lol i got side tracked in my music. and its a long post too!


well bye y'all ^_^ good luck with writing



Oh yeah forgot to mention im currently FREE yay!! ^_^

[MayfanxD]

Hey everyone out there

I'll review enything as long as it is well written. That means it has to have good description, the grammer should be okay and the Chapters shouldn't be to short.

I LOVE to read Contestshipping Journeys. They are my absolute favorite.

I often review nicely, but I can also be brutaly honest, if the fic really sucks.

If anyone wants me to correct them in spelling or grammer, forget it. I'm not from an english speaking country so I will hardly ever be able to find a lot of mistakes.

There is one thing I will not review and that are fics where somebody wants to take revenge on somebody because this somebody has been rapping somebody else (I hope it's not too confusing).

My scale goes from 1-10. It will be hard to see make it to a ten since this means the fic is good enough to published as a book. And believe me, I know what I'm talking about since I already have published a book.

One means, that the fic really sucks. And a one will also be rarely seen, because I often review nicely. You really have to try your best to become a one.

I will review honestly. If it is a fic that isn't my type, it still has a chance of getting a nine or maybe even a ten if it is well written.

Well that's it I guess. As I said, just pm me if you want me to review your fic.

I'm currently reading:
Never in the wrong time or place
Metroid Dread

[Estuary]

Hi, all. I'll review anything, whether it's 'well-written' or whether you're a newbie author- as long as it follows my guidelines, of course.

PM me or leave me a message on my profile, and leave a link to the 'fic you want me to review, please.



: What I Prefer :

I'm fond of journey/OT 'fics which fit into the action, adventure, suspense or horror categories.


: What I Will Review :

~Journey 'Fic / OT

~Pokemon POV

~Pretty much anything not under the Will Not Read category.


: What I Will Not Read :

~Non-Pokemon 'fics

~'Fics starring the anime characters, or which require specific knowledge of the anime series / movies

~Very romance-centric / shipping 'fics

~Anything that requires having played any games besides RBY-GSC-RSE-DPP, or PMD1

~Crossovers or AU's.

~I'm reluctant to read anything featuring Ash's [or whomever's] son / daughter / evil twin / whatever, but if you wish...


: How I Review :

I'm nit-picky with grammar. I'm decent at finding when something reads awkward, whether it be dialogue or otherwise, and fixing it. I will question things that aren't logical to me. I'll point out what I think are your strengths and weaknesses. I'm not rude... I think.


Examples of my reviewing style: 1 2

You can see how I write through the link in my sig. *POINTS*

I am currently ~closed~, due to lack of computer ! FFF it's been closed for months, but I was unable to change this 'til now. My bad.

[Ysavvryl]

I've been looking for stuff to read.

Preferences

I really like:
-Original works: A unique twist on anything usually catches my attention.
-AU: I primarily write this, so I know what it takes to pull it off well.
-Fantasy: I love magic.
-Sci-fi lite: Heavy Sci-fi loses me more often then not.
Mostly looking for Pokemon fics, but I might take on another genre if I know it.

I'll read:
-some romance: I like a little to liven things up, but if it's primarily romance, it'll lose my interest
-fics for Pokemon games I haven't played: I'll state this and judge the story based on itself. This kinda counts for anime and manga, as I haven't seen either of them.
-things not in the 'don't read' category: I'm pretty open-minded.

I don't read:
-R rated stories: Too many people do 'R' ratings just for the shock value.
-fics that are specifically done for shipping: goes with the 'too much romance isn't to my tastes'


How I review

I focus on plot, characterization, and dialogue. If any of these are off, I like the fic less. I tend to compare and make connections with other things; this could give you a different view on what you're doing. I'll let decent grammer pass, but bad grammer can make me lose interest and stop reading.

I start with something good, then get picky. I feel you ought to know what's going right as well as what's going wrong. Also, expect some 'why is this or that?' I like to make sure that you're thinking and writing.

Also, please note that I generally shadow threads quietly, so I may not reply to every update. But if you ask for a review, I will reply at least once. All I ask in exchange is an open mind to critiques.


Fics to Review:

[M-Dub]

I'm happy to review many things, but first and foremost I will say NO R18 (or whatever you want to call it) fics, OK? I'm underage, and my fragile juvenile mind can't take it.

That said, I pride myself on my ability as a reviewer for almost anything else. I will read shipping fics, journey fics, darkfics, new authors, experienced authors and crossovers (sometimes); I love reading fics with OCs, though I'll do canon if it's good. I review fairly critically, and I don't show favoritism. If I start reading, and find myself unable to continue, be it because of spelling, grammar, syntax, Mary Sue/Gary Stuism or whatever, I will stop and tell you. I don't uber-nitpick, I just tell you what I liked and didn't like, straight up. I'm knowledgable concerning game mech as well, so I can help you avoid embarrassing mistakes, like having Crunch be super effective on a Lucario. I know a guy who did that ^_^;

So, as I say, I'm free now! Just PM me!

[Llama_Guy]

Real life issues are currently preventing me from !

Soo... I'll give this a shot then. My experiences with reviewing lie with TV shows only (more specifically anime), so this'll be a good way to expand my horizons (and offer critique, of course!).

I don't have any specific preferences as of now, just blast away at me with anything you've got! If you ask me to review any fic of short novel length (20 000+) or longer, I will only make a review if your first chapter compels me to read on. If not, I will decline, and I won't offer a review (as how the first chapter played out might easily be so much different from the most recent one that critique won't be required). If you're starting out a fic however, I'll always give a review of that first chapter, and follow up on later ones if it's good enough.

- I don't like ship fics much, so unless the first one or two chapters gives an aura of interestingness and lays a foundation which can make the ship believable or intriguing, I'll probably not read on.

My reviewing style is pretty much an examination of plot, characters, writing style (text flow, adjective use, and general readability), and grammar (I'll confine myself to the most basic flaws however). For first chapters of chaptered fics it's more grammar and style though, maybe a bit on the character(s). I don't have a particular way when it comes to how much I sugarcoat things / how harsh I am; that depends solely on my mood.

[Sir Growlie]

Sir Growlie's Reviews

I enjoy reading, and I enjoy reviewing an author's literary works. Spanish is my primary language, though I've learned english from school and tutors so I've gotten quite good at speaking the English language. If you want me to review your fan fic, then please PM me with a link to your story. Now, here are the rules I go by.

What I'll review:

• Original Works: A unique twist on a Pokemon Journey will catch my attention.
• Romance Stories: I enjoy reading a good love story, especially the dramatic ones.
• Tragedy/Drama: Other people's pain is my enjoyment *evil laugh*. Just kidding, but I will review these as long as they are not too gory.
• Pokemon Works: I love Pokemon. I am not good with other animes/Non-Pokemon fics, but I might review them if I feel like it.

How I review:

• I am very nitpicky when it comes to grammar. I will proofread your story, and show you all the grammar and spelling mistakes that you made. I feel that it helps the author for the next time they proofread their story. This is a main part of my reviews.
• I will also examine your characters, writing style, and plot.
• Here is an example of one of my reviews.

Currently Reviewing:

• Black Rose - Redux by TurtwigFan1

When I review your fic, I'll usually stay as positive as possible and be very encouraging. Though, if you don't listen to my corrections and ignore my review, then I will refuse to review your stories again. And please remember that I am a busy person, and I will work as fast as i can to finish your review, as long as you're patient.

I can review up to five fics at a time, and I have the choice to drop your fic if I feel like it, but that probably won't happen. If you would like me to review your story, then please PM me.

XxM!styxX's Reviews

I love reading what I like to read. Short and simple! If I don't like it, it's probably because you rushed something too much, but I'm not very hardcore "omg this sucks" kinda person. I'm generally nice with my reviews. I am picky about certain grammatical errors tho :[]

What I'll review:

Original Pokemon stories: it really depends but I generally avoid them. I have to have heard about it alot and gotten recommendations to read it. Then, I might. But not really.

Shippy stories: But ONLY ones that ship the ship that I like. If it's Advancedshipping, Pearlshipping, Orangeshipping or ANY kind that separates Ash from Misty or May from Drew, my ****** radar starts up. By now you can guess the ships I love to review.

Romance: yes ships I like but ALSO they have to have a good reason to be written. they can't just be like "Ash was sititng on the couch and Misty sat down and said "i love you" and they kissed the end" because those really suck. No offense I love fics with twists!!

In-Character: I like fics that have Ash/Misty or May/Drew getting together for a good reason or realistically. I don't like how alot of fics sort of make the characters out to what they aren't. Hence why, when I read the first chapter, I analyze how the characters act and compare it to the anime.

Looooooong fics: I love fics that go on and on and on and don't end for a while. Chapter-wise as well as words-per-chapter wise. The longer the better. The more detailed the better.

What I won't review:

Original Pokemon stories: like before, I don't read them unless they've been highly recommended and I have yet to be recommended one so it's on my no-no list.

Fics with ships I don't like: once again, no Advancedshipping, Pearlshipping or Orangeshipping ect for me!!

PokemonxPokemon ships: they scare me :x

Fics without shipping: I dunno I just don't see a reason for me to read it if it doesn't have a lovely somehow romantic but realistic ending. That's what fics (to me) are for

Blood/Gory: I don't like things that are too brutal, hence why I had a hard time reading Breaking Dawn from the Twilight series.

Fics with no reason: I don't like fics that are just random!! it's sort of annoying.

How I review:

I usually don't review a fic if I don't like it. :/ sorry. If I like the fic but I see some errors (whether they be grammatical, character-wise, or era-wise) I'll review and show corrections. I love beta-ing

Currently [Re-]Reviewing:

Fate and Destiny of Friends - WaterSpirit

Travelling Together - Haruka_San

Let me know if you want me to review your fic, just make sure it doesn't fall under the category of what i don't like! PMs are always welcome

[BlueMew7]

BlueMew7's Reviews

I am a very experienced writer (at least that's what my friends think) so I will crack down on you about the tiniest things. I am not that big of a grammer nazi, but I notice every little detail about grammer. In fact, I notice every little detail about everything in a story write down to the punctuation. I was on another forum like this that was based on writing stories. Let me tell you, these people were pros. So after that being said, I am not easily impressed. So you (the writer) will have to work with all you got. When I am finished with reading a completed fic, I will rate your story from 1-10 in different categories. Those categories will be averaged and you will receive your final score when they are averaged together. Now, my guildlines may seem harsh and mean, but don't think that you can't approach me. You can VM me or PM me if you want a review and I will be more than happy to review your story, but only as long as your story fits my required guildlines.

What I will review

• Romance, but nothing that is just romance. There must be another key element.
• Action/Adventure
• Complete Original stories
• Pokemon Fics
• Naruto Fics
• Tragedy
• Horror (Intensity does not matter)

What I won't review

• Fics that are just about Romance and nothing else.
• Unoriginal fics. Seeing these kind of fics just shows me that you are uncreative.
• Mystery Fics. Basically just anything that involves solving a mystery.
• Anything with bad writing. So you better be sure that your writing is top notch.

[lugia*master]

My dad always used to tell me, 'God is in the detail', and I have always gone by it. I know how to crack and tumble on every single minor detail; I'm a Psychological profiler, it's what I'm paid for. When I review, I'll usually quote a paragraph, word or phrase and say my thoughts. Wether it was really rubbish, or wether I really liked it. If it wasn't that good, I'll say what was wrong with it, and then, in another quote box, I'll do my own improved version, which will be updated with what I think would be a better version of the original.

I'll do that for every paragraph, and do the same thing for every paragraph I see. Then, at the end, I'll give a general overview, and say wether I think it's good as a Fic/ series, and if I think it'll really turn into a good story.

What I WILL review:
- Murder Mystery; can't get enough of them
- Adventure; I like a really god fic about an adventurous individual, or an adventurous group
- Action; a good, solid, action-packed fic, can't argue with that
- Supernatural/Horror; in my opinion, the best type of story, just a bit better than murder mystery. I really love a good death, so if you'd like me to review, you'll get nothing but praise for it! Unless, of course, the story on a whole is really rubbish, grammatically and structurally speaking.
- Not strictly romance, but I don't mind something that has Romance as a sideline.

What I WILL NOT review:
- plain romantic fics, with nothing else
- insanely long fics (individual chapters); I wont review chapter that take so long to get through, I mean, there's such a thing as 'too short', but there's also such a thing as 'too long'. Now, don't get me wrong, I like reading long stories, but reviews are just too long, and I have to copy/paste the entire thing, so I can sign in because it's taken so long to review that my time has expired.
- non-pokemon fics, excusing Doctor Who-related fics.
In short, I'll review anything, except insanely long fics, and boring just-romances

I've had very many years of experience in taking notes of the little and big details, due to my job, so I'm very much capable of getting the job done. ^_^

[Eon Master]

Heh, what the heck, I'll post mine too.

Eon Masters Review Shop:
CLOSED T.T

Alright, I mostly review for content, not for grammar or that sort of thing, but if I see a mistake, I'll most likely bring it to your attention. My content reviews generally consist of giving at least one strong point, then getting into the "nitty gritty details" part. At the very end of my review, I will post a rating based on the system you can find under the heading Rating System.

I will review: Pokemon fics. Only Pokemon fics, not much else, maybe a few crossovers.
Pokemon POV's: My favorite genere of all time. Just ask, I'll read.
Some Shipping: I don't review shipping for it's own sake, if you can't find somebody to review for one of those, you're doing something wrong. If the shipping is a subplot, or is not blatantly displayed in every chapter, I will consider reviewing.
Journey Fics: I'll review most of these, but if one of them rubs the wrong way, I will say so. Be cautious if you suggest I review one of these.
Action Fics: Just ask, I'll review.
Fics about Eevee, its evolutions, or Latios/Latias: Again, Just ask.

I WILL NOT REVIEW: Contest or Pokeshipping fics. Cannot stand Drew, and IMO Pokeshipping is dead. Anything else (unless I deem it way too wierd) is fine.
Non-Pokemon fics: I won't review these for the most part, Bleach and Naruto are two that I might be persuaded to review.
Shipping for its own sake: As previously stated.
Fics that are poorly written: If your fic looks like a two year old with a speak-n-spell typed it, I will not review, and I will tell you exactly how badly written it is. That just gets under my skin, it shows a lack of effort and care.

Rating System: I rate with these little guys:

= Needs serious help. (If I give you a 1, you probably aren't cut out to be an author, or you need to work harder at becoming one.)

= Needs work, try harder.

= Not bad, needs refinement.

= You're doing good, keep up the hard work.

= Excellent job, and you've got a great story here.

Finally, if you have a story that I deem deserving...

= I am offically flabbergasted at your epicness, and will bow down to your godly writing skills. You really have to impress me to get this. Some good past examples of fics that are of this caliber would be Aftermath by chosen_one386, and Blazing Dreams: The Eternal Night, by duncan. Current stories would be Shadow and Light by chosen_one386, and Dark Eons by tracefan on Fanfiction.net. It's an excellent story, and I suggest that everyone read it at least once.

Please ask me if you're not sure about my criteria. I will at least read everything that is asked of me, unless it defies my criteria or just sucks. I'm not harsh (unless I'm in a really bad mood, so don't be afraid to ask). Also, if you review one of my fics, I will generally review yours in return. Thanks, and request away!

Current Stories I am Reviewing:
1. Shadow and Light by chosen_one386
2. Fighting the Shadows by Hailflameblast
3. The Future of Bleach by Golde
4. The Inverted Souls Arc by ~.:Northern Lights:.~
5. Pokemon: Battle of Battles by ESPNfanatic35

[Brian Powell]

Hello, all. A number of months ago, I stopped reviewing fics because of life outside the internet (apart from those I have been reading since the very beginning). But now, I’m back and I’m here to provide reviews and help. Here are some of the conditions…

- All requests that were given to me in the past are deleted and forgotten.
- All requests must be provided by PM and provide a link to your fic.
- It can be of any genre.
- It can be based on any anime/manga. However, if it’s not pokemon based, give me a summary of that show or visit wikipedia.com or youtube.com and provide a link of the selected anime/manga/web page.
- No age/rating limit.
- Unless your fic have no constructive reviews whatsoever, your fic must not exceed the one page thread limit.
- One-Shots are okay.
- I have the right to refuse to review your fic for any reason.
- If I’m reviewing your fic and when you update it with a new chapter, PM me with that update.
- Please give me time to read and review your fic as I have other responsibilities in life.
- Have fun writing.

That is all for now.

[JX Valentine]

Status: Open, taking a total of three fics to start out.

Reviewing Style:
Hello there, SPPf! I'm opening a reviewer profile so I might get pointed in the right direction for something to read. Truth be told, I'm a typically transient member of the Pokémon fandom, popping up now and then in writing communities everywhere. As a result, I've read a lot of fanfiction in the ten years I've been with the fandom, so I'd like to think I'm a decently experienced reviewer. (As of late, however, I've been mostly beta-reading, so I'm afraid I don't have any samples of my work on hand.)

I'm usually an extremely detailed and honest reviewer, one who's inclined to single out as many errors in grammar and spelling as possible because I believe all parts of a fanfic affect how the reader sees it. I will also single out points of improvement (and points that are well done) in plot and characterization and go into great detail about both. Most importantly, I will always try to tell you exactly how I feel about your fic. Don't be intimidated if I point out a lot, and I apologize in advance if I seem a little harsh. A lot of detail usually means I think you might be able to learn from what I have to say, and I will never actually personally insult you.

On the same track of "I will never actually personally insult you," I usually only skim reviews you've already gotten. Hence, if someone said something already and if you've already responded to it, don't take it personally if I somehow missed it. You're completely free to tell me civilly that you're thinking about it.

Meanwhile, for longer fics (as in, for any fic sent to me that's over ten chapters), I usually just offer a shortened review that briefly goes over what I thought of each chapter. These types of reviews usually cover what I think are the most important points but unfortunately, not everything.

Moreover, I tend to review slowly due to real life/my own projects, so I apologize in advance if I don't get to you right away.

Lastly, I always encourage communication. Not satisfied with my review? Confused or want more information? I'm always happy to receive a PM or VM in response so long as it's civil, and I'd be more than happy to help if you need it.

Preferences:

Will Read
1. Fanfics in my preferred fandoms. (Check here for a full list.)
2. Original fiction
3. Any genre. However, as a warning, romance is not usually my cup of tea, although I will still review it. Meanwhile, science fiction makes me fangirl.
4. A fic that's fifteen chapters or less when you send it to me unless I've already reviewed part of it.

Will Not Read
1. Fanfics not in my preferred fandoms.
2. Stories that haven't been proofread first. As in, please at least give your story a once-over with a spell check before you post it. This will save me a lot of grief. Walls of text will be rejected outright; my eyes literally cannot focus on the lines. (This may or may not be due to me being hungover during my ideal reviewing times.)

[Bebop]

Hello, I'm also reviewing stories also

What do I review:
Fanfics; yes, even crossovers, I find them fun to review
Orginal Stories (In most genra)

I will not review:
Romantic stories, you must find somebody else review that for you

Rating system:
Characters = 10 points
Plot = 10 points
Creativty = 10 points
Writing Style = 10 points
Grammer and Spelling = 10 points
Overall effect = 50 points

You can get a total of 100 points, half from characters, plot, creativty, writing style, and grammer and spelling and the other from the overall effect (AKA: How much I liked the story); the higher of points the better. I will also give a review about your story and make any suggestions what to do to improve. I will also help you to correct grammer and spelling mistakes.

Your story must be at least 3000 words or more. It doesn't need to be completed.

I'm on this forum usually on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Please send your stories before that time and please give me at least a week to review.

[LampShade]

Currently not reviewing until further notice.

I'm willing to review fanfics, as well.

I will read anything, but I will only review a few chapters at a time.

My criticism style is slightly more destructive than constructive, but please do no take offense to any of the criticisms I may make. I suppose I'll go for a point system, as well. I base my criticism on:

-Audience Interest [30 pts]
-Plot [25 pts]
-Setting/Characterization [15 pts]
-Style (Rhetoric included) [15 pts]
-Theme/Purpose of Story [10 pts]
-Correct Spelling, Grammar, Usage, Punctuation [5 pts]

I am currently reading:
-The Ripple Effect
-Pokemon LX: The Sinnoh Journey

[Manaphyman]

In an attempt to get more reviews and to bring myself back into the fanfiction realm, I will recreate on of these:

Manaphyman's Reviews: Status- OPEN

If you want me to review, drop me a VM or PM with the link. I do ask though, if I'm going to review yours, that you review mine.

Types of Fanfiction that I Will Review-Original Trainer
-Journey
OT and Journey are my two favorites. Its pretty much guaranteed that I will read this if you ask.
-One Shots
-Adventure

Types of Fanfiction that I won't Read
-Anything with the Anime Characters
-Pokemon-centric fics
-Mystery Dungeon
-Non-Pokemon Fics
-Parody Fics
-Horror (Some exceptions)
-Fakemon/Fake Region (I am flexible to fake-region, but there has to be some damn good description.)

FAQs
When will you review?

I'm busy as hell right now, but if you ask me, I will get a review to you within two weeks, unless otherwise stated. Please dont pester me, gentle reminders are nice.

Are you going to read just this chapter or all of it?

If its at least half good, I'll probably still read it. It has to be either God-awful or you have to have insulted me for the review process to end.

What is the limit on chapters that you will review/I can ask?

Provided you are only 15 chapters into your fic, I will read it. Anywhere from Chapter 1 until 15 is within my range to start, but if you do have that many chapters, I will need a while to catch up. I would like to start at the beginning, but nothing frustrates me more if you ask me to review, post the first chapter and then call it quits. I will review your story until the end, no matter how many chapters it takes.


How I review:
I'm pretty chill. I'm optomistic and I give compliments, but I will tell you exactly what needs to be fixed. I focus mainly on plot and description; if you need a grammar-nazi reviewer, don't ask me.

Currently Reading:
-The Sapphire Story- Burrado_Aipom
-Shattered Phoneix

(To avoid a last year/2008 incident, I am only reviewing THREE main fics at a time. Once they fill up, I'm closed.)

Thank you for linking me to this thread JX Valentine and for your advice. And thank you ESPNFanatic35 for starting that thread so now I can hopefully start to try and write fan fic more seriously.

I have recently started writing some pokemon fan fic. They aren't very long and they didn't turn out as much as I'd liked them too so I'm thinking of re-writing The Secret Of Shinford City.

I should start reviewing other fics. I like to read many different types of pokemon fan fiction. I will review one chapter at a time or if its completed, I'll review when I finish reading the last chapter. I also like Mario fan fic, usually BowserxPeach ones and those what switch the good/evil roles round.

My favourite types of fics
Pokemon POVs
Team Rocket/Galactic
Original stories


Fics I don't like
Journey/Adventure (They are too long-winded and are sometimes over 60 chapters long and I, personally, find these boring)
Game-centric fics (ones with TMs, etc)
Fakemon (I don't mind fake regions like my Clough Region but as long as they have real pokemon)
Crossovers

One other thing, may I advertise some of my future fic ideas in this thread.

I'll give this a shot.

As a former flamer on Fanfiction.net, I'm not going to give you a kind review if you didn't write a good fic. If I enjoy the fic, I'll say that I enjoyed it. If I didn't, I'll tell you exactly what I thought was wrong. Basically, I only give out praise to people who deserve it (a.k.a., the people who know exactly what good grammar, an original plotline, and brilliant characters mean).

I have a job, so I probably can't review whenever you want me to. Now, if it's three weeks and I still haven't replied, you have every right to poke me with a sharp stick. People who decide to poke me with a sharp stick every day will get a PM saying that I will not read their fic.

I have a decent knowledge of grammar, if not good. I will know when your character is a Mary-Sue or a Gary-Stu. I will know if the plotline is unoriginal. If you want me to review your fic, be prepared for an honest assessment (maybe even a harsh review).

Like I've stated before, I don't have much time on my hands to write a full review, so I'll probably only take three fics at a time. I may take more if I find myself with an abnormal amount of free time.

I will read the following:

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon (I've played through the storyline of the first one, and I've read about the second one.)

Horror (I love a good dark fic more than anything else in the world.)

Original fics (I just hope that the writer follows the laws of writing.)

Redwall (I love Redwall as well.)

Modern Warfare, BioShock, Assassin's Creed, or Dead Space (although I don't expect to see one of those fics pop up here.)

Pokemon fics without the main characters in the games or show (let's see what a person can do without having too much of a drawing board. I'll make exceptions to Pokemon Colosseum and Pokemon XD.)

Adventure/Action (since I'm a speed reader, I think I can catch up quickly enough.)

Some romance (so long as it isn't too lovey-dovey, I'm fine with it.)

Drama (I'm a fan of heart-pounding fics myself.)

-

Here are the fics that I will not read under any circumstances whatsoever:

Any anime other than Pokemon and every manga fic, including Pokemon (I don't watch those shows, I never will, and if I don't understand them, I can't give an honest and unbiased review.)

Any book that I haven't mentioned (for the same reasons as the anime. Either I've never read them, or I just don't care.)

Any shipping (seriously; romance isn't a fun topic to begin with, in my honest opinion. Why would I want to read something that's entirely based upon love?)

The Warriors series (It's another book series, but this one deserves a special mention. I flamed fics in that category on FFN for almost two years. Out of ten-thousand or so "fics", there were less than thirty that were decent. Thirty!)

Any fic with main characters in canon (I've not seen the anime in quite some time, and I don't care about any of the main characters.)

Fakemon (unless everything is done incredibly well and the fic is recommended by three people, I'd have to refuse.)

Horrible fics that look like they were written by five-year-olds (it's not cool to write a fic like that, especially if you're older than five.)

Otherwise, feel free to give me a PM or a VM.

Current fics reviewed/reviewing:

1. Mesprit's Tears, by Unicorn.

2. My Guardian Angel, by Phantom Kat.

ESPNfanatic35 Reviews: Status - Open

Just shoot me a PM if you would like a review.

How I review:

I'll be honest if there's something I find in your fic I find that needs work but overall I will be chill. I'll do my best to find grammar mistakes but I won't be too picky. I will mostly look at characterization and overall plot. Mainly what I look for when I read is memorable characters and to simply be entertained.

What I will read:

My preferred fandom is Pokemon
Action/Adventure (My favorite genre)
Comedy
Canon-Based Stories
Original Stories

What I won't read:

Romance (It can have romance in it, just not a story that centers around a romance.)
Any anime fandom besides Pokemon (Pokemon is the only anime I know very well.)
Anything too raunchy.

That's about it. I can take on three fics at once but no more than that.
