Don't Shoot the Messenger! (Adventures of a Critic)

This is for People I'm Critiquing

I really don't want to post a message to all my followers and whatnot but I really don't have the time to message everyone one of you personally--so I'm hoping you get to read this. 

Though it's unlikely all of you will see this, it's more likely than putting it out through followers. 

My critiques at this moment in time, are going to be very slow. I'm not accepting any more requests as of right now because I will be doing things very slowly. 

See, I had a family member pass away. I wouldn't tell you this if I didn't think that you needed to know it--I'll be honest, I don't really enjoy posting this kind of stuff. Just makes me jumpy.

The reason why I tell you isn't as an explanation as to why I'm slow, but more as a "hey, I may be a bit short with you if you give me a lot of trouble or grief." As in, please be a kind author. I will still definitely discuss critiques, but if you attack me, I will not be very kind. 

I usually try to be fairly nice, even if you insulted me. I don't think I'm up for that right now. 

So, for people that I'm critiquing, please bear in mind: I'm going to be slow, so please be patient. I will discuss happily with you, but if you get angry, I think my patience with you will be slim to none unlike usual. 

Also, there may be a chance I am unable to do all the chapters you requested me to do. I don't think this will be the case, if it is it's because your chapters are INCREDIBLY LONG, and that's fine, but I just don't want to spend a week on one critique because I have to do three incredibly long chapters. 

In all honesty, you guys aren't really the first thing on my mind. Sorry. 

Hope you understand. Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and has a great new year!

 ALSO: if you'd like to know what order you are to get critiqued, look under "To Critique". If I accepted your request and you're not on there, please PM me. Otherwise, the order should be up. This is how it is--the speed you do your payment does play a role in when you go, it is not when you were accepted. Sorry!
