I'll give a quick summary of your item. Afterwards, I'll talk about your characters, any Spelling or Grammar issues, and perhaps suggest some things, like adding the item to a Genre that it would fit into.
I'm good at...
Speed Reading/reviewing- 1000 word story won't even take me five minutes to read, and you'll get a review within 10 minutes of me reading it. As it is, my reviews are usually around 300 Characters- minus my Review Sig. However, sometimes they'll reach the 1,000 Character mark. Depends on the Story/item. *Bigsmile*
Favorite Genres
Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Animal
Least Favorite Genres
Can't think of any I don't like.
Favorite Item Types
I like them all.
Least Favorite Item Types
I've yet to not like any item types. Of course, images can be tricky- hard to correct Spelling and Grammar on those. *Bigsmile*
I will not review...
Interactives that don't have an actual story started - Give me some meat to eat there before you ask me to look at it, with at least one thread being at least 10 chapters long, and not just choices that aren't even developed, preferably written by your own hand. Books - well, not through a Review Request page anyways, as I'd would have to review the book itself and not the Chapter, in order to get paid, but I will review them if you ask me in an email. Anything that doesn't allow reviews. *Bigsmile*

Review of Wonder of It All  
In affiliation with Non-Humans R Us  
Rated: E | (4.5)
This is your review for your participation in "Save My Membership Auction - Closed" . Enjoy.

Well, this is a nice poem, which marvels at the wonders of Fantasy. Sometimes people get so caught up on things that they don't take the time to just stop, and smell the roses that are out there. Very nice- reminds me of a poem I did myself.

Spelling and Grammar
I don't see any problems with spelling or grammar.

Suggestions
I think you should add this to the Genera Spiritual.

This is an interesting article you have about the way that birthdays are held in Brazil. I can see some similarities between the way things are done there and in the USA, as well as some differences, but the main things are the same- parents being with their kids as the children celebrate another year of life. Sometimes that can be hard to find.

This is your Forth of Five reviews for your participation in "Save My Membership Auction - Closed" . Enjoy.

9/11/01 is a day that is hard to write about. A lot of things happened that day. You write about your experiences that day- that you were at work when it occurred, and that your boss- or whomever- ordered the place to be evacuated- Was the place in NYC? Was that the reason for the evacuation? I know where I was- at school in Western New York, when one of the teachers came into the room and said "Turn on the TV- a plane just crashed into the Trade Center". After that, I think many saw the same things I did- the two building burning, gaping holes in them, and then collapsing. Hard to forget.

Well, this is a nice little poem, which, while talking about a bird, seems to be an explanation for why a writer writes- Because they must. Sometimes it's hard to figure out why one writes- Because of a favored author, because of a song, some movie, some event, but it all starts the process.

Well, this looks like that start of an interesting story. On his deathbed, a general, who fought in the war against the machines, tells a reporter about how he managed to defeat the head machine, by distracting her with various attacks, and making her get cocky. However, this was at the the cost of several million lives.

Review of Random Thoughts  
In affiliation with Non-Humans R Us  
Rated: E | (4.5)
Well, this looks like an interesting way to quickly put down a person's thoughts. I see some things that I can relate to. For instance, in the Book to Movie section, I feel that something is always left out when movie people try to turn a book to a movie, such as with Eragon, plenty was left out, but some come close, such as with True Grit, though I think the John Wayne version was a closer match to the book than the Jeff Bridges remake. Of course, we all have opinions.

Oh I have to laugh as I read this. In the over-the-top style of James Bond, a spy must escape from the compound of a group of terrorists. However, Mister Bond is not without a powerful arsenal of Bad-Guy-Neutralizing gadgets, which do the job, and then some. Very funny.

Review of Dominick  
In affiliation with Non-Humans R Us  
Rated: 13+ | (4.5)
This is something of a hard item to rate and review. A child losing their life is extremely hard to write about as one wants them to live for a nice long time, as it should be the son who buries the father, not the other way around. Of course, I get the feeling your nephew's murderer won't last long in prison- convicts don't look too kindly on those who kill children.

Spelling and Grammar
I don't see any problems with spelling or grammar.

Normally, I'd say that this is the BIG BAD WOLF, and a few other things, but, out of respect for your nephew, I'm just going to say, May He Rest in Peace.

This is your entry to my blogging prompt: If the Zombie Apocalypse occurred right this second, what would you use to defend yourself?

This is certainly a useful item for beginning reviewers to check out. It has many things that reviewers ought to be, and do, when doing a review. Personally, I think that being respectful might be the most important, and I think that setting aside personal bias/prejudices might be beneficial.

For instance, I've noticed that items that have Nazi-type people as the protagonist have low ratings. Okay, obviously Nazis a touchy subject, but there are other things to consider, such as spelling, grammar, and how it all goes together.

Also, on a personal note, I have an item about a knight who was a dragon slayer, who was forced into the body of a dragon. The first review I got goes "You look like a great writer. However, there's no way that a mere human could ever slay a dragon." The review then when about how there was no way that anyone could slay a dragon, saying things like how Beowolf most likely didn't kill the dragon he fought, as the body was never found. Uhg, Annoying. Of course, the worse thing about it was the *Star**Star*'s he gave me. I've yet to get above an average of 3 stars because of it. Okay, enough ranting about my poor Dragon's Eyes.

Of course, if a person really doesn't like the item, what's the sense in doing the review? The only legitimate reason I see for rating and reviewing an item you don't like is because you have to, for a reviewing challenge or it was an item entered in a contest you run.

Spelling and Grammar
I don't see any problems with spelling or grammar.
