Critique Swaps / Story Updates

11 Years Ago


Note: Forum posts read backwards, so this is the oldest post in the thread. Please move to the end of the thread to post a reply. Thanks!

Hey guys, I know there are a lot of people here willing to give great critiques in return for receiving equally great critiques, so I thought we might just start a forum thread with that in mind.

My only request is that your reviews be at the VERY minimum, 50 words long (though 100 is a much more respectable minimum, in my oh-so-personal opinion). Thanks guys, and have fun!

You mean what's a swap? Just like where two people agree to review and critique each other's stuff. The idea is to try and get some relatively equitable reviews for folks instead of like you write me a page about mine and I reply with, "cool story. I like it." plus it's fun! :-D

I read yours and you read mine ;-D, though don't worry about mine for the time being. I've got a lot to change... but I'm headed your way!

Story Update

11 Years Ago


Okay guys,

So for those of you who read my original prologue, I re-did the whole thing. The prologue is completely different, and I'm reworking the old prologue to be the new first chapter (hopefully less boring). I think you guys will like the new prologue... at least, I think you'll appreciate the increased focus on action and the whatnot.

Hopefully I'll have chapter 1 up tonight. Is there anything I told anyone I would read and forgot about? Sorry guys, I've been caught up trying to revamp my outline and get some of this stuff written/rewritten.

Arutha, same here. I give a lot of thanks to everyone who gave me reviews and now I decided to rewrite my whole novel. Now it is not a fan-fiction. I completely own the plot and I got some more nice ideas.
I completely reimagined my previous creation and now you may check out my work too. Please, give fair reviews to any work that you see.
Thanks a lot!
~Peter

P.S. Why not we swap a charachter or a story?

Anyone want to swap a few chapters.  I'm offering to swap with anyone willing to read and critique a few chapters of Journeys: A Saga- The Travels of Maris Varroue!

I sort of need to know what's wrong with my book, The rogue demon. People don't read the first Two chapters but they read the third, why? How about we swap?

Okay, on my plate for today: Alex, Momo, Gosia, and H.M. Hearing. I've got some serious catching up to do, lol. Hopefully I'll be all caught up by sometime this afternoon (central time that is ;-P)

How do you know they don't read the first two?  Do they say they don't read the first or do you only get reviews on the third and not the first two?  it could be that they just don't find a need to say anything about the first two.  There's someone reading my story and it's reviewed the first, third, and seventh.  : )

Holy Toledo, I actually posted something! ... It's only half a chapter, but it's still pretty amazing ;-P

Cedric, if you read this anytime shortly after my posting it, I'm almost done reviewing your prologue. Just throwing that out there, since I'm about 2 or 3 days behind on it. Oh, and I'm still working on your mega review, Gosia. ;-P I'll hopefully have a couple pages in your email every night henceforth until it's done.

Haha, I hadn't exactly planned that out very well, had I? Now I've posted more pieces, but come tomorrow, I will have uploaded at least a chapter or two of my current works. I'd be so grateful to hear everyone's honest opinions and critiques, and I'd be more than happy to return the favour!

Hey, I'm searching for someone willing to review my story Mystic Mirror. It's about a girl transported into another world, she tries to get home, but ends up as a servant of a villain. So far I have 5 chapters posted, another 20 are waiting to get uploaded.

I can offer no advice on grammar or punctuation, but I'm willing to review thoroughly every other aspect of the story, especially if it includes fighting, bloodshed and guts escaping their owner's belly.

So, who's up for the swap?
