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*

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...
Anything that doesn't allow reviews. *Bigsmile* Of course, if you try to send me illegal material- and in this instance, I mean things that are not allowed on the site, I hope that Staff has dealt with you by the time I see the request, and hopefully before I see the item.

Review of Sovereign

This is a Review you Requested. Enjoy.

An interesting short story. You have what looks to be a Post-Battle situation, where, after the battle has been done, the surviving fighters are reflecting upon what they did, and are even unsure of themselves. The one offers their support to the other, to try to help them. Interesting. Wouldn't mind knowing more.

Characters

Review of Prey

Well, this is an interesting read. You have a woman staying at her boyfriend's place during a snowstorm. Problem is, there is a large pet snake, the boyfriend is out, and it seems that someone forgot to feed the snake, and said snake is hungry. I see trouble for someone.

Characters
Interesting. Of course, one might argue about the legality of owning a large snake, but I'll chalk that up to drama.

Spelling and Grammar
I don't see any issues.

Suggestion
Due to the repeated use of the "f-word", you might want to bump the rating up to GC. Just saying.

First up - wow. You have a young woman dealing with issues. At the same time, a young man tries to help her through them. The young man gives up a lot, just to see to it that she makes it through the day. Very interesting.

What a coincidence - I happen to have this same image in my portfolio - different text, but still - nice to have a chance to look at the other one after soo many years. *Laugh*

(In fact, for those of you reading this review out there, me and Megan both placed bids on this image during an auction in October 2012 (if my date's correct), and I think we tried to outbid the other, until she bought it outright. Still, she was nice enough to buy a copy for me.)

Then again, when one shares similar tastes, it's not unheard of for a good bidding war to occur. *BigSmile*

It seems that a werewolf has started its attack. Mysterious FBI agents are destroying evidence. The one agent is injured, and something very strange is happening to him. Will anyone make it through the night? Only time will tell.

This is a Review you Requested. Enjoy.

Things get more and more mysterious, as legends are told about creatures from various cultures being seemingly related, and then some really strange agents end up appearing in the area, and they don't seem to be all that friendly.

Characters
The characters seem interesting.

Spelling and Grammar
You have a few minor issues that could be taken care of.

This is a Review you Requested. Enjoy.

You have a police officer investigating an interesting murder. It seems that this murder contains cannibalism, a practice done by what is called "City Building", which had been sealed for over a thousand years. The police officer is trying to bring the perpetrators to justice, but it seems like he's going to have some difficulty, as the "City Building" people do not see it as a criminal act. Makes one wonder.

Life is always tricky, especially in situations where there is no right choice. However, we make the best choices that we can, helping others, who might help us. Eventually, we'll get to a point, where all of the hard work will be worth it in the end.

There's a saying about how hard work can achieve results. Sometimes, the hard work gives good result, but sometimes, the results are not so good. So one should compare the risk to the reward, before doing the work. If the risk is worth the reward, one can make the attempt.

Review of Running on Empty  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: E | (4.5)
It is good to have goals. However, one must be ready to take on the challenge. Attempting a challenge before one is ready tends to lead to failure. By preparing, the goals are much easier to reach, despite any other difficulties. Attempting when ready is better than attempting when not ready.

Review of Limited Friends  
Rated: E | (4.5)
Friendships are always crazy. One day, you got a hundred friends, and the next, you only have five, if that. Time causes people to change, as does distance. Sometimes one finds out that the other wasn't even a friend to begin with, which can be painful. Of course, one can always see about making new friends.

A nice little poem. It is interesting to see what one can pick up when they decide to read something. Of course, as one reads, there's always new things to learn. As they travel, they find something new. Sometimes it is useful, and sometimes it is just interesting. Always useful.

It can be hard to give one's self a good comparison, especially since people tend to compare themselves to others. Of course, if one compared themselves to themselves, who knows what would happen. How would they do the rating? Would they compare themselves to where they were last year? One never knows.

Sometimes things are simple, and we all should do things our own way. Other times though, things are complicated, and not so simple, and thus we have to use other ways as a guide of what to do, and what not to do. But, then again, we all live our own lives.

Review of In moderation

A nice poem to read, with a nice message attached to it. sometimes we must do things in moderation - there's a lot of things we enjoy - Chicken wings comes to my mind - but if we are not careful, that joy might turn sour, and not so good, a little while later.

Well, this is an interesting item. You have a young man who wore a kilt as part of his National Heritage, but gets in trouble at school as a result. Parents show the school the rule that allows him to wear the outfit. School changes the rule. Boys protest, and start wearing dresses - I wonder how the rest is going to end.

This is a great piece. I totally loved it. Great job. I hope to read more of your things in the future. Good job. Now to add on a bunch of Characters to get to 250, so that I can collect the Gift Points that this item Auto-Rewards, and all that.

Okay, in seriousness, this is actually a funny piece to read. A lot of reviews I've seen do meet this criteria, although there are those who crack down on such tactics - I would know this from personal experience, as I used to make less than acceptable reviews when I first started reviewing back when I first joined, which got me in trouble, but I digress.

In any case, this piece is good for a laugh, and I hope that other reviewers come by, and get a chuckle, and perhaps tell you their own experiences with reviews. I know I've come a long way.

Review of Just like Her  
In affiliation with WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group  
Rated: 13+ | (4.0)
You have the start of an interesting story. You have a family move into an old house, and you have a pair of siblings running around. However, things start to get strange, starting with an encounter with a mysterious lady. Makes one wonder what will happen next.

Characters
Could use a little bit more description.

Spelling and Grammar
No issues with spelling or grammar. Interesting use of color.

Suggestions
Don't end the chapter with "And then...." as that is an annoying way to end a chapter. In fact, you might be better off removing that line, and just have the boy go off to investigate, as that is a fairly good cliffhanger in its own right.

You might want to say who it was that made this image. That way the person could get more commissions.
