Review Style
I believe in constructive criticism and honesty. I can adapt my review style to fit the kind of feedback an author is looking for (e.g., developmental suggestions, fine-tuning, proofreading, etc.), but will always try to be as encouraging and helpful as possible.
I'm good at...
Plotting, characterization, dialogue, structure/pacing, and professional considerations. I can also do serviceable technical editing/proofreading, but I'm much better with developmental/creative feedback.
Favorite Genres
I read almost everything. I particularly love genre fiction (mystery/thriller and science fiction/fantasy especially) and nonfiction of all kinds.

I really enjoyed this expansion on your original DFFC story. You did a great job fleshing out the story that was inspired by this particular prompt... and is a testament to how you can grow a short few hundred words of flash fiction into a longer and more detailed short story. It would be a pleasure to feature this item in the next issue of the official Mystery newsletter! *Smile*

Thanks for the link to this item in my last issue of the official Mystery newsletter! I enjoyed this item, particularly the second-person perspective, which was a refreshing change from the more traditional first and third-person perspectives. It would be my pleasure to feature it in the next issue of the newsletter. *Smile*

Keep up the good work and keep writing!

Review of Guns and Red Wine  
Review by Jeff
Rated: E | (4.0)
Hi, this is Jeff and I'm your judge for the 10/21 round of the Daily Flash Fiction challenge.

I really enjoyed this story. The only issue I had was that the prompt said to include the listed items, and you used "slot machine" as a descriptive simile (rather than including an actual slot machine itself)... but other than that, you did a great job with this story. Very well written! *Smile*

Thanks for entering the contest... keep up the good work and keep writing! *Smile*
