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*

Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Animal

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*

Well, this is an interesting story. You've got a couple of siblings trying to figure out a way to make money so that their home doesn't get foreclosed on. When they respond to a strange newspaper add, things get strange when they get sucked into some sort of game, and have to compete against other teams of siblings.

A Yu-Gi-Oh! fanfiction wherein Kiaba hires an American escort, and gets more than he bargains for. That's true for sure, as they get into all sorts of trouble, especially when they run into old acquaintances.

This is an interesting piece of fanfiction, set in the Yo-Gi-Oh universe dealing with a situation that occurs when Seto Kaiba goes to America for a business trip, and encounters a woman who is very open about her relationships.

Characters
While I'm not sure if the Kaibas themselves are in-character (as it's been a while since I've seen the show), they do seem plausible. The Original Characters also seem interesting.

I stumbled across this under the Online Authors, although what really caught my attention was the name in the title - especially since my own username ought to give most a very good clue as to why it drew my eye...

What you have is a short story about a paranormal investigator, who has been hired to check out a collage. While there, he comes across a powerful entity that is causing some serious troubles.

Well, this looks like the start of an interesting story. You have a man who enters a home that happens to house a number of vampires, who like the taste of human blood. Claiming to work for some sort of pharmaceutical company, the man tries to convince the leader of the vampires to try an alternative form of subsistence, but the vampires aren't interested. Of course, the man is no fool, and knew just what he was dealing with.

This is an interesting poll about a person's favorite type of writing. Personally, I like all types, but my favorite is the Interactive, as you can get so many stories, all from a common origin. After all, start the Main Character off at a crossroads, and here's a few possibilities:

Heads to the North: The MC become the King of a great and powerful nation, with plenty of queens to enjoy the company of.

Heads to the South: The MC becomes a vicious and brutal Bandit Warlord with a huge price on his head, among other things.

Heads to the East: The MC gets captured by a dragon, and is forced to be its slave, or else they become lunch.

Heads to the West: They become a farmer, taxed by the King, robbed by the Bandit Warlord, and terrorized by the dragon.

Undecided: Has an encounter with a guy that has a crossbow - The End.

Plenty of fun.

Well, this is an interesting In & Out, especially if one likes to add to Interactives. Here is a place where one can learn and share tips for writing additions to those stories that take so many twists and turns, and always create a new story, despite sharing the same originating point as another. Worth looking at.

Thoughts
Very original.

This is a Review you Requested. Enjoy.

You have what looks to be the start of an interesting story. You have a detective trying to interrogate a suspect n a murder investigation, but it seems that the suspect has something of a tale to tell. I might need to take a look at the additional chapters.

Characters
The characters are interesting.

Spelling and Grammar
In the section where the officer finds out that the suspect knows his name, despite not being told it, it might help to italicize the officer's thoughts.

You have what looks to be the start of an interesting story. You have a woman who, for whatever reason, doesn't like non-human animals, who is creating non-human soldiers in order to fight a robotic enemy. However, an incident soon forces her to work with one of her creations, in order to survive.

This is an interesting take on the whole "Jack and the Beanstalk" - type story. You have a young woman who climbed a large beanstalk, only to encounter a friendly giant. However, things aren't so easy, especially after she encounters another giant, who isn't so friendly.

Characters
The characters are interesting, but to be honest, the giants could use names, at the very least.

Spelling and Grammar
I don't see any issues with spelling or grammar, but, instead of saying "(expletive deleted)", you could settle for a mild swear word, or perhaps bump it up to 18+ for somewhat stronger swear words.

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.

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*

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.

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.
