You have two options. Either I can critique your first chapter (option one), or your first five chapters (option two). Both options will have different payments (which I will address later). I will post my review in this book for you as well as others to see. If you're uncomfortable with that, privately message me and we can work out a different option for you.

I will split my critiques into ten different parts, and my overall score for your story in my review will follow these parts:

1. —Is it good? Or is it lacking? (10/10)

2.—Does it represent your story? (10/10)

3.—Is it too long? Too short? Does it represent your story? (5/5)

4.—Does it make me want to read more? (5/5)

5. —Comma. Semicolon. Apostrophes. Are they used correctly? (10/10)

6. —how many typos do you have? Did you even edit your work? (5/5)

7. —Is it unique? Or is it predictable and cliche? Any plot holes? (20/20)

8.—Personalities? Character arcs? Or are they dull and lifeless? (10/10)

9. —How do you write? I should see your voice through your work. (20/20)

10. —Are your sentences stilted, or awkward? (5/5)

And as I've mentioned earlier, there will be two options for you. If you choose , I will only critique your first chapter. You can use my suggestions and recommendations and apply it to the rest of your book. Choosing means I'll critique your first five chapters.

(For poetry, my style of grading will be based on different expectations. If you apply to have your poetry reviewed, just apply in the forms page as normal, and I will privately message you the details of my grading guidelines).

Make sure to check the queue for the line of stories I'm reviewing for the month. At the bottom of the page, you'll see that the queue is either closed or open. Do not request for a story review when you know the queue is closed. Do not ask me when the queue opens, and do not ask me to add your story to a closed queue.

I will not review any mature content. This includes sexual themes, excessive violence/blood and gore, and idealogically sensitive themes. There are exceptions, as long as you clear them with me first. For example, I may accept your application if the chapters I'm reviewing includes fade-to-black sexual scenes or mild violence. Notify me about any trigger warnings before applying. Failure to do so will result in an unfinished review; meaning I will not review a specific chapter with this content, and I'll probably berate you for not following the rules. There have been multiple instances where I found myself reading something I was not comfortable with because I was not notified. It's disrespectful, and you probably won't get an unbiased review from it.

I will not review any content glorifying/romanticizing drug/alcohol abuse, rape/assault, incestuous themes of any sort, bestality, or criminal behavior. This is final; there are no exceptions.

When filling out the form, check to make sure all the information is listed within. I will not accept forms that have not followed the guideline (shown in the next page). List all of your information in one comment. If I tell you that the payment hasn't been completed, don't ask me what the payment is. Look through this page thoroughly instead and find what you're missing.

To make sure you've read this thoroughly, comment down below, "Read it." If you don't do this, I will not accept your form. And forms are only to be filled out on the next page. And if you have any questions, ask here. ➡

Make sure to check out the books in my reading list! These are books that have recieved at least 90/100 points in my review, so make sure to support these deserving authors (optional).

If your review recieves at least 80/100 in my review, I will give you a shout out for your book in this profile. If you recieve at least 90/100 in your review, I'll give you a shout out for your book in this profile and my other profile. Along with that, I will add your story to my reading list. (So if you want more support for your story, make sure to hand me a polished draft of your story in order to get the most points you need.)

Make sure to give this critique book a shout-out from your profile (optional).

Only apply if you want genuine feedback. I'm not going to waste my time typing up a 4k word review for you to use for free votes, shout-outs, and more recognition. It's disappointing and disrespectful. Upon recieving your review, acknowledge it by commenting somewhere on the review. Don't waste my time, and I won't waste yours.

If you choose for Option 1 or Option 2, you ask for more or less chapters to be critiqued from the option I provide for you. I will not accept requests to review two chapters with an Option 1 payment, and I will not review more/less than five chapters with an Option 2 payment. If you'd like more than five chapters reviewed, you can always apply for a second review later on five other chapters.

I don't review the same books more than twice. If you'd like me to take another look at chapters I've critiqued before, feel free to apply for a better score. If you'd like me to look at five different chapters in the same story, I'm open to that as well. But you only have two chances with your story. Of course, you can apply for more than one of your stories to be reviewed; but only one at a time. Wait until I finish a review for one story, then you may apply for another.

As I've repeatedly stated before, the payments will vary depending on whether you pick option one or two. And if you have no idea what options I'm talking about, then go back and read the rules.

Dedicate that one chapter to me. If you don't know how, you can ask me or simply tag me in the chapter.

I will not accept your form unless you complete your payment first. I will review in order of which I receive the forms. Make sure to clearly follow all the rules and completing the payment before applying, as I may not accept some applications even after payment because of broken rules.

Now that we've addressed the payments and rules, let's move on to the form!
