Fic Reviewers 3

[Diddy]

Diddy’s most wondrous house of review is CLOSED again - because I realised I can't stay open

Well this seems like it will be a lot of fun. A friend of mine is actually a reviewer at a metal forum, people send him demo CD’s and such and he gives out reviews, it’s a pretty big place as well, and trust me, he knows his metal.

Anyway. (When I do review, expect me to go off on irrelevant tangents that will in some way link to the story. You will know when I’ve brought the thought train back on track when I use that word.)

Anyway. I’ve noticed a lot of people before me (I’m on the second page so I’m not expecting much.) having wide-open ‘Will review’ sections. So I’ve decided to carve a niche of which stuff I really enjoy reading, and will keep it at that.

So lets have it.

Will review.

-Original Fiction. I stress this the most. I want to read your original fiction. I find it extremely fascinating and want to expand my palette. Doesn’t belong in the pokemon section, doesn’t belong in the mass of alternate manga/universes. Characters, plots, places of your own design to which no one else can claim copyrights. I will review.

-OT fics, Journey fics, whatever you call ‘em, as long as it has a kid/teen/adult going from home around any continent, previously existing or made up, collecting badges and such. I will review. The more irregular the plot the better.

-One shots of varying description. The ones I generally like are philosophical rants about anything, further looks in to how a certain race of pokemon exist (loners, pack animals. Do they have some form of leadership? Etc.) And kooky little insights into the life of people (As long as it’s not too unbelievable e.g. Brad Pitt splitting up with Mrs. Jolie to move in with Pat Butcher from Eastenders.) For a good example see ‘Seeds’ a collaboration between Kiyohome and Saber. Posted about a week before the date of April 2nd. These, I will review.

-Comedy fics of varying descriptions. For these I will accept quite a lot, but if it doesn’t make me laugh. Beware, You will be told.

Will not review

-Anything badly written. Spelling is awful; punctuation is out of the window etc. Just refer yourself to the ‘Advice for Aspiring Authors’ thread. Read and Learn people.

-No walls of text. Paragraphs. Are. Essential.

-No one page on MS word chapters (a prologue is okay however)

-Shipping fics. Any shipping fics (for example AshxMisty AshxMay BrockxAsh whatever it is), I’ve only ever read one good one and I will make no attempt to top it. I don’t want to be flamed for saying that your idea of a pairing is shoddy at best.

-Fics about alternate mangas than pokemon. I know nothing about these and will not understand anything about it. I find most of them disturbing anyway. Fics about characters from the pokemon anime (Barring characters from the games, Gym Leaders, Elite Four, Lass Haley etc.) and any fics where OC's are the main characters, will also not be reviewed as I have never watched anything past the Johto episodes and found it annoying nearing the end.

-Any other types of fic that have not been expressively mentioned in the ‘will review’ section.




I know what good writing is, having read countless books, fiction mainly. Ranging from kids stuff (Roald Dahl, Harry Potter etc,) to older stuff (Atlas Shrugged, Tom Clancy etc.) You can trust my opinion and I will not falter in telling you that your work needs a lot of serious work. But I will say where you need improvement, what you should add to make it longer etc. (not plot stuff but ideas for side events, explain how they got from this place to over there, could you add any interesting conversations etc.)

And it would be fun to have something to do on the forums other than randomly review fics in the thread if I can be bothered, or correct somebody on a trivial fact in the miscellaneous section.

I do reserve the right to stop reading and reviewing your fics if the content becomes too weird. (Odd sexual pairings, really crap cliché events) or if I become to bored with your fic that I find it intolerable to continuing reviewing it. (Please note this would be quite a rare event)

Send me a PM with either a link to or a copy of your fic and I will make it a fairly high priority to read and review. Please do note that sending back a review will take some time. (Perhaps only a few hours, days or even weeks, if other stuff comes up.)

Currently Reviewing:

Nothing - Which is how it should be, seeing as I'm closed

Hopefully someone will relieve my boredom, send me something.

[TrueCharizard]

I will happy to read and review pretty much anyone's fic, provided it's well written.

There are some fics that are clearly written by younger writers, which in this case I shall pop in to say how they could improve certain areas.

I am quite prone to skimming through things and only stopping to read in more detail if things catch my eye: the prose, the intelligence behind the piece.

I am less interested in shipping, though this is not to say I do not have an interest in romance within a story. I have no problem with new (made for fic) characters having relationships with already existing ones (canon ones).

I do appreciate tit for that, or rather somebody reading mine after I read theirs.

[Lady Myuu]

LM's Library
CLOSED

MAJOR EDIT: Sorry guys, I had a major computer issue and it made me lose interest in everything I was doing here... so I'm just not going to take the review requests I have received or anymore. Nor am I writing. Sorry.

Welcome to the Library, but it seems quite empty doesn't it? Perhaps you would like to suggest a story that I could read and review for you! Then maybe it will make my archives? But first you must read the rules and make sure you understand them!

What this Library allows:

Basically what I like to read

* I will read ratings from G to R and beyond! but those aren't allowed here so I will read to the max rating possible. I am not scared easily.

* I will read stories that are just starting and or one to three chapters in, but I wont read more then that. You are welcome to ask but I may reject you.

* I love Pokemon Pov and unique characters.

* I may review an OOT if its just started.

* I will read original stories. But I will only read original or Pokemon, not any other canons.

* I want to review new fics or overlooked ones. If you have posted three chapters and no one has reviewed you, please PM me and I will give you a bump!

* Oneshots are lovely!

What the Library doesn't allow
What I say no too

* I will not read fics with the anime characters. I hate the anime.
(But I will read ones with the game characters, like Gym leaders and such as long as its more original and doesn't follow the anime)

* I will not review any other canons except Pokemon. I will Review original stories that you came up with yourself.

* I will not review shipping, this rule ties into Anime characters. I may review shipping of game characters.

* Stories that are more then three chapters in. Unless you can really, really convince me you need a review.

MY RIGHTS

basically what I get to do when I review

* I have the right to deny your request at anytime for any reason or no reason at all.

* I have the right to be harsh on your fic is something doesn't add up.

* I have the right to get mad if you are rude to me for not reviewing quick enough.

* Don't be nervous, you may get rejected but its ok to try! If your nice I wont bite you. I will try to be as encouraging as possible.

Sumbit your fic!

Get ready.. GO!

Fic name/link:
Rating:
Genre: (Fantasy, dark, horror, drama, adenvture, romance, ect or a mixture)
Author Notes: (anything you want to tell me about the story, maybe a snippet of it. Get me interested!)

* also don't be rude! Say hi in your PM and be nice.

A hint from a lady

* If you want me to review you sooner, review me. It will make me want to repay the favor faster. But remember that your fic STILL has to fit into the guidelines I listed.

How LM reviews

* I am not super picky about grammar, as I suck at it myself. But if its missing a lot of commas and periods, and if its just horrible formated. I will inform you, perhaps rudely if its that bad.

* I love a good pacing, a good plot and ect and I will praise you for it. I will also tell you how much you suck if you don't have a decent plot going on.

* I will ask questions more then likely, you don't have to answer them. I will talk about certian characters and things that I enjoyed the most.

* If you inspire me enough, I may want to recieve PM's when it updates.

Say, Hey! Let's do this!

Air Dragon's Review Profile

What I could review: Any and Everything

What I would review (preferences):

- Journeyfics
- Some good ol' Sci-Fi
- Some non-Pokemon fics

What I won't Review:

- Some rate R fics

How I do what I do:

I rate in six fields of fanfiction on the first review, usually with the grading system:

- GRAMMAR: This is where I hit hardest and fastest.
- PLOT: Reasonably fresh or week-old stale?
- CAST: How 'real' are your characters to me? This tie in with description.
- DESCRIPTION: Settings, characters, creatures, natures, personalities... this is where I let you know how it looks from my point of view. Don't disabuse my sense of imagination, or your overall just might suffer for it.
- LENGTH: I enjoy tome-like chapters yet short and fulfilling ones work for me too.
- OVERALL: Here I use the staryu/starmie system:

1 Staryu = Bleh.
2 Staryu = Meh. Needs some work...
3 Staryu = Coming along nicely. It could still use a little work...
4 Staryu = I'm listening... and liking what I read...
5 Staryu = 1 Starmie - Epic in the making... keep at it...

>1 Starmie = Epic made. 'nuff said.

[WhyNot]

WhyNot's Reviews What I will read: Almost everything, I like shipping, but not too much. Will Not Read: Non Pokemon..sorry.. stories where Pokemon are the only things alive, and when say ASH is the main character. I dont care if he's in the story, but I do not read it if he or someone else in the animai is, and badly written fics are unacceptible. Notes: I have a flaw. I am too nice, I won't every say anything mean. I do believe in contructive criticizm though. I also have high standards, as I have read some great fics even though I wasnt a reviewer or even a member. I have read all of Pokemon Revolutions by EonMaster1, and (blushes as he cant rember name) By Duncan, Sevii Island Saga by Manaphyman, and (Blushes again) by Air Dragon to name a few great ones. I have read many though so I know what a good fic is. Reviewing: As many as you can throw at me. Summer Vacation means 4 months of sitting and finding things to past the time.*****EDIT:I apologize for the rush Mom said I need to get to sleep. Long day tommorow. One of the few...

[Phantom Gardevoir]

Phantom Gardevoir's Helping Hand

Yes, I have decided to lend a helping hand to other fellow fic writers.

What I Will Generally Read: I'll read Pokemon fics, but to a certain degree. I'll only read fics that have Pokemon themselves in them. No trainer fics, no canon characters, nothing like that. I will absolutely read Fullmetal Alchemist fanfics as well, but no shippings. Same goes with Pokemon.

What I Refuse to Read: No R-rated or NC-17 stuff, please. Not too much violence, not too much sexual content, not too much swearing.

In General: Overall, I try to be nice. I don't have the heart to be mean. Unless your fic is really bad, I will tell you. To contact me, please PM. And provide a link to your fanfiction please. I don't feel like playing go fish with your story.

About Me
I just want to take a minute and tell you all about who I am and such. I joined last year on February 1 and have been an active member since. I've always done Fan Fiction since I joined, but only have actually kept writing my current one, The Sapphire Story. Please check it out if you'd like. I am also partially active in the Clubs, General Pokémon Discussion, Face-Offs, and Role Playing Games forums.

Status - CLOSED
So don't PM me about reviewing D<

My Reviews

When I review Fics, I generally look at things like description, time flow, plot, CD, what happened during the chapter, and I'm very OCD about grammar, so I'll point things out I think are wrong. I don't review grammar as much if I've been reading a Fic and already informed the author about what to change and such. I will review what I liked and also what you did right and wrong. My reviews are almost always positive and constructive, as I think it helps author's listen a bit more ;)

Fics I Won't Review

+/ Legendary - I hate it when people have trainers catch/be really good friends with Legendary Pok&#233;mon - yes, DJ: HoH was my favorite Fic ever, but the exception of the main protagonist owning a Legendary was okay because of how well the entire Fic was written. I won't review a Fic based entirely on legendaries, nor will I if they have a main character with something like Raikou or Arceus. Mayfi from DJ: HoH was acceptable :P
+/ Mystery Dungeon - Get too boring and even though I understand the concept now, I'm just not very enthralled by them.
+/ Fakemon/Region - Muh, I just don't like having to keep track of a Fic with Pok&#233;mon or cities that will not be in a game or anim&#233;.

Types of Fics I Review

+/ OT/Journey Fics - I love seeing what kind of characters authors create and how they "design" them. It's fun reading about what they do throughout their journey and seeing how well they develop. This subject is very vague, so ask me to read your Fic and I'll check it out.
+/ Anything else is pretty okay, as long as it wasn't in the section above this ;)

One-Shots

+/ Not my favorite types of things to read, but I'll read them... they may take me a while to review, and I usually read them only if I'm really in the mood.

Fics I am Reading

+/ Sevi Islands Saga by Manaphyman
+/ Shattered Pieces by Divinity_123 (even though it was ended)
+/ Hoenn League: A Brenden and May Adventure by Breezy

What I'll Review

High Priority

- War Fiction
GRAWR. I'd take a war fic any day of the week. Except for Mondays. I hate Mondays. By war fics, I mean those which focus on the mental and emotional turmoil of the characters who are forced into the midst of war. I implore upon you to not give me an uberage 50 chapter epic on blood, gore and violence which is all action and nothing else.

- Dark Fiction
Heh, the world needs more darkness and sin. Keep it tasteful though. I don't mind if it's Elfen Lied level violence, but don't do it without reason. I'd also prefer if it wasn't horror orientated, but more focused on the irony and sin of the world's existence. Wait... the last line sounded so... emo.

- High Fantasy
Yeah, I love a good dose of fantastical elements. I would also prefer it if it is a more mature work (i.e. violence/dark themes). By the way, I'm a sucker for Dark Fantasy so feel free to ask me if you're writing one.

- Journey/OT Fiction
Well, almost everyone starts off with this. I love a well written journey fic (which, lamentably, is rare), so ask me if you would like me to review yours. However, I will not read through 10 Chapters of your story unless I find it worth my time. If I deem your fic as a waste of my time, I will stop reading it, accompanied by a nice rant of a review on what made me stop reading the fic.

Other Types I'll Review

-Science Fiction
Don't see enough of these on this forum, so I'd actually be interested to see someone pull off a good sci-fi featuring Pokemon.

- One Shots
They're nice and short. That's how I like them. PM me and I'll probably pop in for a look.

- Romance/Shipping Fiction
But absolutely NO shipping between canon characters. I find fiction with romance as the central plot to be rather boring and bland anyway, so even if I do review it, I probably wont be compelled to read beyond the first chapter.

- Pokemon POV Fiction
By this, I mean the ones in which the Pokemon actually retain their animal behaviour. As Pink Parka Girl stated, I am not interested in reading Pokemon POVs where the said Pokemon is a human in a fur coat. (i.e. Mystery Dungeon Fics)

Things I will not read

- Non Pokemon Fiction, although I may make an exception for an Original Fic.

- Fics which require previous knowledge of the Anime or Manga. I don't follow these, and I'm not going to start now.

- Fics which feature canon characters as the main characters.

- Pokemon/Human romance. Pokemon are BEASTS. I don't care if it's a Gardevior (which, coincidentally, seems to make up 90% of these relationships), it's still an animal. Frankly, I'm not into bestiality, so no. I wont read these no matter how clean they are.

- Yaoi/Yuri, Incest, Rape. Ehhhh.... no thanks. =PPP

- Mystery Dungeon Fics

- Fics I just can't read. As in, the one's which I have to squint at the screen from 45 degrees to the left to make out the words. Or the ones which has enough grammar mistakes to give you dain bramage.



How I review
First off, I'll give the review AS IS. So if I don't like it, you're going to get a nasty rant on why I didn't like it. Don't like it? Tough. What annoys me more than anything else is when someone asks you to review, then you review, and then they flame you saying "OMG ITS MAH FIC SO IM NOT GOING TO CHANGE ANYTHING STFU!!!!!1111one111!". I mean, what's the point of getting a review if you don't accept it, learn from it, and use it to improve?

That aside, I tend to first pick out parts of your fic which I liked, with comments on why I enjoyed it, and also on how you may be able to further improve. Next is the main part of my review, which is the critique. This can be divided into:
- Character
Okay, I'm pretty picky on characters. If they seem flat, rushed, and complete Anime rip offs, I will get annoyed. The same goes for Mary-Sues. This also goes for Pokemon characters as well. Don't make me read about a mindless fighting machine.
- Plot
I'm not too big on the plot. Unless it's a complete rip-off of the games or anime, I probably wont comment too much on this. That being said, I would prefer an original plot with some good twists and turns over a more generic, common plot.
- Description
I will probably go into some depth concerning description. Actions, emotions, physical features, the lot. If I can't make out what something looks like, then it means you need to improve on this area. To make my point clearer, I will quote certain parts in your fic which I thought was either good or lacking in description.
- Grammar
I'm not a as strict on grammar as much as some of the other reviewers here, but I will still pull a line when it gets too noticeable. Most likely, I will point out grammar/spelling mistakes to you as I find them.
- Point Score/Rating
I don't do point scores or ratings. Stories aren't tests. You can analyze and give opinions accordingly to what you thought of a certain story, but you can't put a number on it and say that it's the overall quality of the fic. So if you want to get 95% or 5 Pikachus, I suggest you look elsewhere.

Asuran's Reviewing Table
Open

I enjoy writing and reading and decided that I feel like reviewing. If you think you have a good story, feel free to PM me.

What I Will Review:

-Original Stories: Basically any original story intrests me. I love reading something entirely created of one person's imagination.
-One Shots: These are basically hit or miss, but usually hit. I will read any one-shot of any fandom, especially original.
-Anything Not Below

What I Will NOT Review:

-Shipping: Romance is okay. But personally, I would like to see it more with original characters.
-Anything Over 100,000 Words: I might read it if you ask me, however, a full blown review will take too much time. I have a life too.

How I Review:
Grammar: This is first and rightfully so. Grammar is important. Very important. Even mistaking a period (.) for a comma (,) will weigh heavily. Spelling counts as well.
Plot: The plot is essential to any story. Without it, the only things driving the character are hormones.
Character Development: One-dimensional characters are no fun to write. Even worse to read.
Setting: A description of the place and the people within the place is very important. Without it, the reader can't paint a picture in his mind. However, stacking is boring.

Everything will be rated on a scale out of one hundred. Grammar will count for fifteen points, plot for thirty points, character development for thirty as well, and finally setting coming in at twenty-five points. I find a hundred point scale allows me to be much more accurate with my ratings.

>Shipping Fics - Don't want to here about why Ash should choose Brock over Misty or stuff like that
>Fake Pokémon - It gets too hard for me to keep up with all your little fakies
>Fics about the animé or mangas of Pokémon or other things. - I probably won't get it because I don't keep up with these things

(Of course if you think yours is that good out of any of these, I may review if I feel it's that good)

I don't usually look at ratings. Whether it's G or R it won't really effect me.

What you can do for a review

PM me. Give me a copy or link to your fic.

You know, I'll try to review as soon as I can. But if it's been more than a week, try again; I might have forgotten and I'd hate to leave you waiting.

I reserve the right to stop reading and reviewing if I find your fic intolerable for some reason. This would be an extremely rare event, and even still I'll probably let you know so you don't wait endlessly.

EDIT: Guys, it'd be very helpful if you check when was the last time I was active... because during a random unactive spree, I saw several PMs that dated three weeks back and felt bad not reviewing them. Uhm, I get them to you guys when I decide to feel like it. XP



I posted in the Reviewer's Thread V.2. two years ago. I lied. =P



what Lit will read



- Pokemon; Original; and several select fandoms. However, if you want me to read an obscure fandom that I do not know at all and you really, really, really want someone to read it, please give me the summary in the PM (mind you, the fandom's summary), and I'll see what I catch. It's not recommended, but if you're desperate, try me. XP
- Chaptered fic word count < 10,000 words. Or a one-shot of similar length. The shorter the fic, the more time I have to focus on actually reviewing. XP
- Genres. Fantasy. Mystery/Suspence. Romance. Comedy. Drama. Action. Adventure. Violence. Gore. Italicized genres mean that I have some experience in it, and you can specifically ask me to review a story just for the specified genre.
- Romance. Yaoi. Yuri. Het. PG. PG-13. R. Just throw them at me. I'll be fine. XP Although I don't think there's a lot here to worry about...
- Rating <= R, NC-17. Yeah. After an incident that shouldn't be named, I was exposed to certain things that also shouldn't be named. Generally speaking, I will read R-rated fics. Specifically speaking, I will not want to read about R-rated horror. Just no. Please no. T_T



what Lit is okay with reading but doesn't really like



- Fictions >= four chapters. Especially if it's long. So use your judgment?
- Genres. Dark. Depression. I will read dark fics... just don't expect me to be fully capable of writing a sane review afterwards... They give me a sick feeling in my stomach... I just attack.
- Pokemon canon-based shippings. Not really. If the character is in Pokemon canon, don't expect me to know them. I'm generally not very interested in the humans of Pokemon.
- Canon-based fictions. I'm not interested, but if it's a rare deal (i.e. revolving around obscurer characters), then probably.
- Adventure. If it's an epic, a general OT fic, run of the mill thing, I'll probably not be interested in reading it. However, if you want me to review personality development/character portrayal, by all means go ahead.



what Lit will run away from



- Horror... just no. Please. Even if it's tiny horror. I get too paranoid. Spare me. >___<
- Grammarless Havens. Hey, even I have the right to read writing that normal teens can understand. I’m not talking about high-level vocabulary or perfection. I’m just asking that it makes sense… and that someone who can’t read 133t (like me) can understand it.
- Long developed fics. If you still want me to review it (for character/plot content, etc), accep that I'll only read like, the first couple of chapters until I'm bored.



how Lit will review



After a couple of years of reviewing, I decided that I wasn't made to review "entirely." Basically, I won't review your grammar, syntax, spelling, since I know that I'm not that good at it anyway. Sometimes, I won't even review the entire plot. Just parts of it.

So, here's how it works.

There are several kinds of reviews you can request; and although you can request all at any time, the "overall" reviews would... take longer.

character development/personality portrayal- Simply put, I'll talk more about the characters, dedicating a section to each of the major characters that the story entails. I'll offer some (hopefully) helpful tips (if I see that you might need it), comment on specific character actions. If anything else catches my eye, then I'll add it near the end.

storyline/plot development- In this, I'll discuss the part of the plot, focusing more on the plot than the characters. Some stabs in the dark at the plot, and if I feel that some of the plot is lacking, I'll enlighten you. The same goes for anything else that I feel worth mentioning. If you feel like you need help with a certain genre, simply type up the genre name right next this so I can focus on that as well.

combination- Just the combination of the two. I'll review both the characters/storyline, etc.

description- Now that I've come back, I think I have a stronger grasp on description. Although I will add something about description if you request for any of the other kinds of reviews, request this review so I could go more indepth and point out things that you could've done more effectively.

overall- Everything. Effectiveness in your presentation. Plot, characterization, personalities, plot, originality. Just my overall impression of the story. However, I won't review like this a lot. And even then, I can choose whether or not to, depending on the load of work.



So basically, when you're asking me to review something, simply PM me what kind of review you want, the title and link to the story, and any other additional comments. Normally, I would review once and not review ever again (I won't "follow" you; if you want me to review the same story again, you must PM me). If you have caught my attention, I may review again without your prompt. And my attention is hardly caught.

I can handle about two or so review requests a week, depending on the length. If I'm busy, I'm busy- no review requests during this time. XD I have the right to deny requests; there are some fics of which I just don't feel like reviewing at that point. Don't be sad. Just PM me again at another time. If I haven't reviewed for about two weeks, PM again. XP

I guess, this is the end? =D PM away.

What the heck, I'll put myself up for grabs. I don't have anything else to do this summer.


STATUS: Closed currently.

Things I'm interested in/High Priority:
-OT Fics that aren't strictly journey ones.
-Fics where the main character isn't a goody-two-shoes hero type.
-Dark stuff, apocalyptic-type stuff, etc...just don't have random killing of everything for no reason, or too much needless angst.
-Humor, as long as it's not at the expense of characters and plot.
-Things that really delve into IN-GAME canon characters/mechanics.
-Sci-fi fics. Rare, but usually interesting.
-Most anything with a good dose of originality.

Things I'll read:
-Pokemon war fics.
-Journey fics, but PLEASE make sure they've got some originality...
-Original stories. If it's fantasy, though, I won't read it if it's a clone of LOTR or some other series.
-Zelda fics.
-Certain other fandoms, but I probably won't read it if I don't know it.
-Most one-shots.
-Poke-mythology, but try to make it interesting/original.

Things I will not read, period:
-Pokemon POV fics, especially where there are no humans.
-Fics where romance is the main plot.
-Fandoms that I don't know.
-Anything that requires knowledge of canon outside of the main games (i.e. Every actual RPG; Blue, Silver, Emerald, etc.) I have next to no knowledge of the anime; I haven't watched it in 7-8 years. Manga is even worse.
-Things that have Mary-Sues, walls of text, overly bad spelling/grammar, very cliche plots, or one-dimensional characters.
-Fics that are fairly long already. 5-10 chapters is about the limit, depending on the length of each chapter.
-Poetry. Sorry, I have no interest in poetry and I wouldn't know how to critique it.


Reviews:I will be honest.
-I won't harp on spelling or grammar, so long as it doesn't distract me. If I have many other objections, though, I'll have a tendency to nitpick with grammar.
-I dislike cliches. If your characters and plot are good, and there's not too many cliches, I'll be okay. This mainly goes for journey fics, the most commonly cliched genre.
-I'm big on characters. If your characters aren't good, like real people, I won't like your story.
-Plot is fairly flexible; so long as there is a clear plot and it's original, I'll be good.
-Don't flame me or whine about what I say.
-I'll rate it 0-10, generally. Sometimes I just won't rate, though.

Other:
I'll try to review you as soon as possible, just don't pester me with PMs, as I may have things to do. Also, I reserve the right to stop reviewing at any time, though I'll do my best to notify you. All I promise you is that I review your fic once. If I like it enough, I'll keep reviewing.
I appreciate it (though it is by no means required) if you review my fic as well once I've reviewed yours.

Well, here goes nothing.

Status: Open!

Preferences:
~Pokémon or non-Pokémon, it doesn't matter to me.
~I'll read anything rated up to PG-13, and rarely - rarely - R. I'm good with things like swearing, drinking, smoking, character death, and maybe some suggestive content, but nothing too graphic.
~Be it Action/Adventure, Comedy, Tragedy, Sci-Fi, Romance, whatever, I'll read it. But please, no Horror. It's just....sick.
~I'm good with Shipping, as long as it makes sense (i.e. I will read a JimmyxMarina story or even a MewxMewtwo story, but I won't read an AshxPikachu story). But please, for the sake of everything you hold dear, NO HOMOSEXUAL PAIRINGS!!! It's disgusting! And I'd also prefer it if you didn't send me AdvanceShipping stories. I'm good with Poké- or PearlShipping, but not Advance. Don't ask why.
~I can deal with crossovers, as long as I know what both franchises are. For example, if you crossed Dragon Ball Z with Avatar: The Last Airbender, I would have absolutely no clue what you were talking about.
~Shorter stories can be read faster, and thus receive reviews more quickly. Don't get me wrong though, I'm fine reading longer stories, as long as you can wait for a review.

The Review:
~I focus on every aspect of the story: plot, characters, character development, description, spelling, grammar, you name it. I'll let the grammar bit go if you're using it as a joke, like "All your base are belong to us."
~I rate stories on a scale of 1 to 10. If you really, really impress me, you might receive an 11. But that's a big "might". I never, ever give a story a rating below 1.
~I'll point out things I:
~~Hated
~~Disliked
~~Liked
~~Really liked
~~Loved
Not necessarily in that order, though I'll try to put what I loved last on the list.
~I will attempt to review your story in a civilized manner. For example, I'll never say things like "OMG TAHT [censored]ING SUX U ST00P1D N00B!!1!one!!" My review should look more like this:
~~"You have great ideas, but your final product is riddled with flaws in the way of description and grammar. You keep switching between past and present tenses, which tends to confuse people. Also, you failed to use punctuation on several occasions, even forgetting to use quotation marks at one point.
~~"In the description department, you've failed to even hint at what your characters look like, so I'm left sitting here picturing Daniel Radcliffe and Gates McFadden, when for all I know your characters could look completely different.
~~"On the plus side, the plot is fairly original, and character development seems to be your focus. I like that. Your villain truly is awesome. He reminds me of Darth Maul, just getting the job done without monologuing.
~~"All-in-all, on a scale of 1 to 10, this is a 4, simply because you have to translate the poor grammar in order to understand the plot. But once the code is deciphered, the story is a fairly enjoyable read. Just proofread this and correct the grammar, and this story may be worthy of an 8."
~If you dislike my review, then fine, ask someone else to review your work. My review is final, and I'm not going to change it just because you want me to. I want some results here, people!

[Ninterror X]

Hello I'm Ninterror X, Trainer/Reviewer

Preferences
-I will only read these types of Fanfictions: Pokemon, Kirby, Mario, Starfox, Sonic and Megaman. all others will have to be requested from People if they want me to read it

-ABSOLUTELY NO STORYS THAT ABUSE SEX OR HORROR TO THE EXTREME!

-If it's humor, make sure the jokes are funny yet sticks with the plot fairly well.
if it's action, Make sure the battles are Worth watching
if it's romance, Make sure the couples makes sense. and make sure theirs a plot that challenges that couple in some way or another

-If a fan made character is made in one of the Fics I mention, make sure the character(s) Don't look or act the same as any other character (but it's ok if theirs only about say, 1-3 similarity's, so the character can relate to the others)

-I Want a Decent story that goes along with these Fics
Don't just slap stuff together, hoping it will stick.

-Crossovers are fine as long as their well executed.

Review
Character- Make sure the character has a personality that can make people relate too. I hate characters that are emotionless robots that can't stick out from a crowd. also make sure they have at least one involution with the plot.
I hate throw in characters just for ****'s and giggles. and please make sure their designed well.

Plot- Now heres the Meat of my reviews, Make sure the plot moves smoothly through out the whole fanfiction. which means their should not be Too many plot holes that cause confusion in the story. also, Try to make the plot worth watching, I won't watch something that was ripped off from something else (however, if it's a story I've heard before, make sure it has twists to it to keep it interesting.) if your try to make one plot then change it for something
else, try not to cause a cluster f*ck with the main story as it will make the reader say "wtf?" and drop reading

Grammer/spelling- I will check to make sure the story has been Checked for typos and grammer mistakes. Now if I find one or two typos from the whole thing, that's ok. but If I find a typo every time I read, then the score will drop. Same can be said for Grammer, if you abuse common words, The score will drop. if the story has good vocabulary and word placement, The score will be left alone. If the character(s) has a accent of some kind that makes them talk a little different, or if they misspell or Mess up grammer as a joke. Then ill let it slide

[Negrek]

Currently accepting up to THREE 'fics.

I'm a bit rusty in the review department, but I would like to get back into the practice. Therefore, I thought I'd offer to do a few reviews instead of waiting for something interesting to come up. I'm afraid that I'm a little picky about what I read, but I hope that I won't exclude too many people with my guidelines. If you make a request for a review on a story that violates one or more of these, it will be ignored without explanation. The guidelines, in general order of importance:

0. Pok&#233;mon fanfics only.

1. No romance. I'm afraid I'm just not interested in reading romance between characters of any nature and at any level of rating. It's okay to have characters in romantic relationships provided that their relationships are not the primary focus of the story, but if the story could be classed as being in the genre of romance, I'm afraid I'm just not interested.

2. No anime characters or their relations/offspring. I dislike the pok&#233;mon anime and am not interested in reading any 'fics centering around its characters. Pok&#233;mon Special characters are okay (although most canon 'fics I see tend to revolve around shipping, so I encourage you to remember rule #1), and minor anime characters that only show up for a chapter or two for some reason, while questionable, are also okay. However, if the 'fic is something along the lines of "Ash Ketchum's *insert relative* starts his/her pok&#233;mon journey" or "Tina Sunshine begins her pok&#233;mon journey and teams up with Gary Oak along the way" then again, I'm afraid I'm not interested.

3. I'll review 'fics of any rating that is considered legal on this site. However, I will scrutinize M-rated 'fics more closely than those of other ratings and may turn requests for reviews on them down even if they follow the other guidelines listed here.

4. I will review 'fics of any length under 20 chapters. However, the longer your 'fic is, the less detailed the review I give you is likely to be.

5. I'm not a terribly fast reviewer--it takes a while for me to read a 'fic, first of all, and writing a detailed reply is time-consuming. Please do not badger me about how long it's taking to get a review; if you don't bother me, I'll get it done, but if you do, I might stop out of spite. I won't be reviewing each chapter individually under most circumstances--just giving an overall view of the story as I see it. Also, I will NOT continue reviewing your chapterfic after you request the first time unless I'm extremely impressed by it. You may request another review on your fanfic after the first, but I won't be following your progress chapter-by-chapter or anything.

6. I'm a serious reviewer, and some might consider my reviews "harsh." Here's a sampling of some of my more recent reviews (looking at the post dates, you can see just what I mean by being out of practice!) so you can see what they look like. I've given a url to the 'fic thread with the number of the post with my review, so if you want you can read the 'fic and then compare it to the review. These are all 'fics that I would consider above-average at least and ones that I enjoyed, so they should give you an idea of what I like, what a mild review from me looks like, and hopefully something enjoyable to read if you choose to read the 'fic:

"Anamnesis" by Saffire Persian (#13)
"Unheard" by Pink Parka Girl (#9)
Inheritors by Irin (#2)

So, it's assumed that by requesting here you understand what you're getting yourself into. Therefore, replies complaining about the style of review received will not be treated kindly.

7. I reserve the right to deny any request for any reason I see fit, although if it's not due to one of the reasons listed here, I'll tell you why.

[#Chimecho#]

Hello

I am #Chimecho#. A name which i still like, but the Pokemon isn't necessarily my favorite. My real name Truth. I have been on this forum for about two going on three years. I had been hooked to many different parts, such as the battling, and breeding. But now, i started getting into FanFic. Which i hope to begin to write one soon to get writing practice down.

For now, i would enjoy reviewing and viewing others works.

What Will I read?

I will Read/Review
~Drama
~Action/Adventure
~Romance
~Anything with a good plot
~New Journeys
~Pokemon Related and or almost anything Else.
~Fantasy

I refuse to Read/Review
~If it is not interesting to me right away
~Ill tell you if i wont review it after reading it


How I Would Review

~Most importantly, I will look at what you are trying to accomplish with your writing, and look at your style. Then, accordingly, I will adjust the way I review to with the different combination's of these two.
-Basically, this is all about biased. I will forget about the other types of writing, and other peoples works, and only focus on you and your work. For everyone writes differently, so everything should be reviewed slightly differently.
-We should only better ourselves to surpass ourselves, and not others.
~I nit pick a little only if it sounds odd to me.
-Which I will ask for clarification. You might have done it on purpose.
~I look at development of plot
~I look at character developing
~I look at descriptions
~I will mainly ask for your clarification on things. You are the writer and author. If anything you have done does not make sense to me, i will ask about it.
~I am not harsh. Your the writer, what do i know?
~I do my best to point on strengths and weaknesses. So you can either work on your weaknesses, or build up your strengths. Whichever may be your philosophy
~I am looking to better myself in writing. So I hope to see some good stuff, and then take my experience here into the "Real" world.

Reward?

I will grade on a scale of 1-5 (That is only if you request I grade it. Otherwise, it really is unnecessary.)
= 1 point. Each one added is another point. Max=5
= 6 points. Signifying a masterpiece.


Thank you for considering me
