Fanfic Reviewers: Post here

Nara_Shikamaru

Okay guys, I've noticed that this forum is getting quite clogged with threads stating that potential reviewers are willing to read a fic upon request. To reduce the congestion from these threads, this thread is solely for stating that you are willing to review fics.

So, if you can, try to state what kind of fanfiction story you are willing to review. Also mention what kind of stories you do NOT like so those after a review know who to ask and who not to ask.

-------------------------------------

To people after a review: If you see a person you want to review your fic, please ask them in PM.

I'll gladly review fics, but there's some I won't review though:

Any other Ash shipping besides AAMayL.
Only recent fics if it's 15-20 pages long, I won't review it.
I am willing to review SOME R rated fics, but it has to be an R rated fic with pokemon involved, or another anime/video game character from the shows mentioned below.

What I like to review:
AAMayL (Ash/May) fics.
Fics from a pokemon's perspective.
Fics with a male/female starting his or her pokemon journey. (Must have a good plot and a few twists from the original game's story).
One shot pokemon fics.
Pokemon poetry.
Certain Anime/Video game character fics; (Zelda, Tokyo Mew Mew, Tales of Symphonia, and Sonic to name a few).

As like my sis (^) said, I dont like Ash and Misty together so no hard feelings.
Dont like storys that are rated R (but if its an AAMayL I might).

Storys I'll review:
AAMayL (I will always check these storys out no matter what).
Storys with people starting their journeys as long as a Team (evil) Magma ect. is in it.
Well thats all

I will gladly review your fic, as long as the rating is no higher than PG-13/TV14 and involves Pokemon in some way.

What I will not review:
--Humor fics with potty humor/dirty jokes
--Romance/shipping fics
--Angst fics

My specialties:
Trainer fics
Adventure/fantasy fics
Humor fics (provided that it is clean humor)
The review will come in the form of a Three Point Test (3PT for short):

Description-Is everything described well enough so that a non-fan can read it and understand what is going on?
Characters-Are your characters developed, realistic and believeable?
Plot: Do you have something well thought out, or is it the same thing we've all seen a million times? The more original, the better!

Comments: All of my other rants, raves, and suggestions go here.

If your fic is really good, I may give you a special message telling you how much I liked it...but be warned, I don't give these messages to anyone; you've got to earn one by writing well!

While not required, I will recommend that you at least take a look at one of my fics in return.

Another reviewer here!

Some things, though:
*Only Pokemon stories.
*I will not review any AAMayL - I don't like them in any shape or form.
*The rating and genre of a story isn't something too important for me.
*I prefer recent fics.
*I usually go for stories who have less reviews and fan base (I have a soft spot for them).
*Overly long stories will take some time to review (depending on its length). Also, I'd like to point out that I usually prefer shorter stories.
*My favorite types of stories are creative OT, AAML, Romance, Horror, and Angst (though I will still review if it isn't one of these types of stories).
*I check spelling very thoroughly.
*I will point out the most noticeable grammar mistakes.
*I'm honest.

Reviews for my story (that's in my signature) will be very appreciated but it's not required...


Since people apparently can't read an entire post, I'll just bold the following lines...

I will not accept more review requests for the time being! I'm working on too many projects to focus on reviewing anymore. Sorry.
:(

I'm not as frequent as I use to be with reviewing, so good luck trying to get me to review by force. :D

- I'll read and review basically anything whether it's a new fic or has twenty chapters plus more (might take me awhile though of course haha), is Pokémon-based or not (though, I might not understand a non-Pokémon fic sometimes).

- I rarely go back to review a fic after it turns into a "hot thread" so if you want me to review AGAIN, you gotta PM me to remind me.

- Poems . . . oh gawd, poems. Bear with me on those if you please, I just learned how to review them and if I make no sense, don't tell me, keep my hopes up, make me feel proud that I can review poems. =P Nah j/k, be blunt with me if my review doesn't make sense. Same goes for regular stories too I suppose.

- And if I don't happen to review your fic, don't get angry at me, you guys write too many stories every day! I will get to it eventually though so no worries k?

- If it has been like two weeks and I still haven't review you yet, PM me again, I could of accidently deleted it.

- I will not review fics with bad grammar! Haha, j/k, I will still it's just that mostly everyone here has that in their review form thing and I wanted to be cool lol.

Yeah, I think that's it. I don't hate any particular type of fic nor do I specialize in a certain type of fic (maybe suspense, adventure or mystery but meh, that's only because I write those type of genres myself).

LaTeR dAyZ!

I'll review only these exclusive fics:

1. If it's by Breezy or CharChar or latias or Crystal Espeon or pokegreat1020 (Breezy's good at fic writing - no, excellent - and charchar is my pair, latias is my best friend, ce is my twin, pokegreat1020 is my friend)

2. If it's not too spammed up, i.e. less than two pages of reviews. Otherwise I will refuse to review it.

3. If it's not AAMAYL. I hate advanceshipping.

4. If it's not over pg-13.

5. If it's critically acclaimed, e.g. four/five star by more than two votes.

6. If it's recent and not too long.

7. If it sounds interesting.

Those of you wishing to request a review, prepare to die from a heart attack. I'm either really nice or really picky and long. :0 I cause hyperventilation XD

Anyway, just send me a pm with an appropriate title. Then, provide me with a paragraph excerpt and a brief summary.

Sexorific!
This was a good idea!

Anyway Ill review pokemon fics that are under 3 pages (talking about the thread) No matter how much I hate the fiction I will still read it and review it. But I do ask (though its not really required) that anyone who I review their fic reviews my fic. Please tell me if you dont have a permanent reviewer and if I like the fic you may expect to see me a couple of times.

NEW: I will review non pokemon fics as long as their not about any other anime besides Yu-gi-oh.

What I like to read

Trainer fics!
Battling fics!
Fics that involve battles!

but it doesnt matter Ill still review your fic anyway.

Hell, why not...

Give me anything outside of romance fics and angsty one shots. PM, I review it within a few days, (unless, its like 20 pages of 10 page chapters, then give me a week or two) and I'd appreciate a review back on mine, if at all possible.

This just goes for people asking for reviews, outside of this I just review whatever catches my attention.

1) It mustn't be more than twenty pages in Word long (I most like to review fics that are only one chapter in length, but I can do more).

2) It can't be a shipping fic of any sort. I don't see the appeal in a bunch of brat falling in love. ><

3) It can't be a fic that revolves around the anime characters. It's all right if they only appear in a few chapters or have been well written like Celebi managed to do in her fic, but as a main character, no.

4) I prefer to get review requests from newer authors, not those with five stars and a massive fanbase already. I won't review to stroke anyone's ego either, although I'm a strong believer in providing constructive criticism tactfully.

That's all, really, although it might be of use for people to know that my favourite fanfics to review are OT new trainer fics.

I read a lot of trainer fics and shipping fanfics. I don't always post but I do read them. Sometimes I read very long fics with I don't know how many pages but I only read a few chaps so some fanfictions. I haven't read them completely.

So I am willing to read any fanfiction but I do like some originiality. And i like trainer fics more then non-trainer fics.

Okay, here goes nothing.

For pokemon fic's, my reviews and won'ts.

I Will review anything from G to R.

I Won't review pointless shipping fics. Unless it has a plot, I don't wanna hear about it, see it or even touch it. If it's just because you want to see the two together, with nothing working to the plot to get them together, forget it. Don't even bother me about it.

I Will review any genere kind of fic. Be it from Action to Tragedy.

I Won't review run of the mill unless it has Plot, Humor, or something to make it worth my time.

I Will review stories focusing mainly on Human characters.

I Will review stories focusing on Pokemon characters.


Also note, I review true, to the point and bluntly. If you're wanting help to make a fic better, or someone not going to review like the masses then PM me. If you'd like to only have reviews that claim your fic is 'Da Bomb' then dun bother.

For Non pokemon fiction;

I will read anything within reason.

Side note: If anyone tries to use the over used, lame retort of: How would you like it if someone reviewed your fic like that! Then you really didn't heed my warnings, did you?

Hug a penguin!
I'll review...I guess.

-Only poke-fics please.
-Not over PG-13.
-Recent fics, if it has gone to the third page or the fifth chapter, then don't bother. But, if I have been catching up to the story, I will review it.
-Any genre suits me, but no stories about lots of romance or love, ickies.
-Any point of view is fine, be it pokemon, human or tree.

Okay, I suppose.

Meh, I operate by fairly fixed standards.

1. More then 950 words.
2. The fanfic writer must have plans to make it over 2 chapters of over 950 words each long.
3. I review harshly. So be warned.
4. I'm not keen on fics with Ash, Misty or Brock in them. There's like, a 5% chance of me rating them.
5. I only review fics if there's a PM request for me to review them.
