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

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 Wings

Rated: E | (4.5)
This is a very fitting tribute for Anne McCaffrey, Queen Dragon Rider of Pern. It adequately describes the dragons of that planet, from Gold, to Bronze, to Brown, to Blue, to Green. I enjoy reading her books, and own more than a few. She will be missed.

Well, this is an interesting poem. It seems to be about two people, who keep different hours, and rarely talk to each other. One person takes care of children, while the other seems to tend to other things that are dealt with in life. Very interesting.

This is your entry to my blogging prompt: If the Zombie Apocalypse occurred right this second, what would you use to defend yourself? I just have to laugh *Laugh* - Squirrels against zombies, that is just silly. Zombies would just go, "Appetizers!" and eat them. As for combat, get a crowbar, it would save your life. Your odds of Survival- The Magic Ball says, "It don't look too good, but at least you made me laugh."

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.

This is your entry for my blogging prompt: If the Zombie Apocalypse occurred right this second, what would you use to protect yourself? Okay, it's very clear that you didn't like this prompt, and you more or less mock the whole thing, and even really try to do anything. *Frown*. I'm not even going to bother to give your odds of survival, though I will say it's in the negatives.

Well, this is an interesting story. A dragon shows up at a town on its Market day, seeking a special girl for a special reason, and locates her. Also, since the dragon has the reputation of being a good dragon, the situation calls for a feast. However, it seems that the dragon's intentions are far from noble.

Well, this is an interesting story that shows how dependence on technology can be very detrimental to people's health. A man from the 2020's writes about how things had changed over the last 20-odd years, from a terrorist attack at the end of 2012, to the use of computer implants in everyone. However, it all comes with a price.
