Fantasy Foretold Forum Critique Swaps / Story Updates
Critique Swaps / Story Updates11 Years AgoNote: 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! |

Re: Critique Swaps / Story Updates11 Years AgoSo, I guess I might as well kick us off... anyone wanna swap a chapter or something? ;-D

Re: Critique Swaps / Story Updates11 Years AgoWhat is that?
|

Re: Critique Swaps / Story Updates11 Years AgoYou 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

Re: Critique Swaps / Story Updates11 Years AgoI'll swap a chapter with you Arutha, how do we "swap"?

Re: Critique Swaps / Story Updates11 Years AgoI 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 Update11 Years AgoOkay 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. |

Re: Critique Swaps / Story Updates11 Years AgoArutha, 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? |

Re: Critique Swaps / Story Updates11 Years AgoAnyone 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!

Re: Critique Swaps / Story Updates11 Years AgoI 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?
|

Re: Critique Swaps / Story Updates11 Years AgoOkay, 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)

Re: Critique Swaps / Story Updates11 Years AgoOriginally posted by Alex93 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? 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. : ) |

Re: Critique Swaps / Story Updates11 Years AgoHI! I'll swap with you, Alex. Wanna read my story The WildCat?

Re: Critique Swaps / Story Updates11 Years AgoHoly 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. |

Re: Critique Swaps / Story Updates11 Years AgoHey! I'm new to this site (like, literally joined a couple of hours ago) and so I'd really appreciate some help and critiques and stuff...I have a load of writing to upload, and I've chucked up a couple rough bits tonight...but I'd love for some feedback, and to know what people wanna' see, whether I should continue any, etcetera...I'll give feedback in return! Thanks! :)

Re: Critique Swaps / Story Updates11 Years AgoGlad to have you. I'd love to check out your stuff. Let me know when you get some chapters posted! ;-D

Re: Critique Swaps / Story Updates11 Years AgoHaha, 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!

Re: Critique Swaps / Story Updates11 Years AgoI'm in. What are they/it called? I see you have quite a few to choose from. ;-P

Re: Critique Swaps / Story Updates11 Years AgoHey, 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? |
