I've recently become obsessed with Fire Emblem: Awakening and I would definitely not mind reading fanfiction associated with it. If you have one for me to read, then post it here.
Here are the rules (as always with my posts; default name is Robin):
1) ONLY Fire Emblem: Awakening fanfictions should go here. I will also take Fire Emblem: Fates fanfictions here as well.
2) I'm blunt to the point of it coming across as rude. If you're offended easily, I'd say not to post. Or to post you don't want criticism.
3) Clean language in the post. The game itself has some rough language so that's fine in-story but I would prefer no f-words or s-words. Sorry. (And NO, translating it into another real-world language isn't acceptable; I translate everything I read into English. And I can curse in two other languages.) If you must have a handful, give me a notice in the post below.
4) Do not praise my work directly before, during, and/or after you post. Just doesn't make for a good impression. Same thing goes for following me; if you follow me just to get me to read your work, I'm not going to. But thanks for the follow.
5) If you want criticism, let me know. If you don't, let me know. If you don't specify, don't be surprised if you have a random post-it on your chapter. And if you do want criticism, I won't coddle you. But you can choose between "brutal honesty" and "tempered honesty." The difference is in the phrasing.
6) No explicit sex scenes. Imply it? Fine. Show it but skip on a bunch of details? Eh... depends. Let me know beforehand. Hot, steamy descriptions? Leave it out, please. Yes, I understand that Fire Emblem: Awakening and Fire Emblem: Fates both have marriage as a core mechanic, so there will be romance and as there are kids, there will be sex (even if it is off-screen). Just tread cautiously.
7) I'm fine with whatever you and/or your characters prefer when it comes to sex. But that doesn't mean I like to read it, or have it shoved down my throat. I personally am straight and my characters will be, too. No yaoi or yuri fics (look it up if you don't know). Exception: Niles/Rhajat in Fates.
8) Rape? If it happens, offscreen, please. And it needs to have a good reason for being in the story. Robin needs to have both trauma and commitment issues? Eh...OK, though there's other ways to show that. Robin is fine with commitment but won't agree to marriage because of the first night? That's understandable. Bad guy is bad? Yeah, I get that. Find some other way to characterize your antagonist.
9) Drugs, fine. It's a grittier game about war; it's bound to happen a bit. (Plus, Midori in Fates...)
10) Domestic abuse? NO. I know it can happen but just no. Unless it's for characterization purposes and goes  into the plot, but tread cautiously.
11) No guns. I know this seems like a stupidly random rule but there's no guns in Fire Emblem.
12) Proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Sentence fragments are OK; this is fiction, not English class. Sentence fragments every single time? Not OK. General rule: if your teachers never put a red/black/blue mark on your papers in regards to poor spelling/grammar/punctuation, then you don't really need to proofread it. One misspelled word, poorly structured sentence, and left out punctuation is fine. Even two or three over a chapter is fine. Too much is choppy and I'm going to write "Too many punctuation/spelling/grammar mistakes for my taste. Sorry." and will stop reading it there.
13) Don't expect me to get to it immediately. I write, play video games, and take college courses. So it might take awhile.
14) I will NOT follow people just because I read their story OR place the book in a to-read reading list. I will NOT put a story on a reading list if I don't want to continue reading it. I will NOT follow people just because I put their story in a reading list. If I want to follow a person, I will do so, but it takes some really good writing, and some consistency, for me to follow that person. And since I rarely look at my news feed anyway, me following someone is me wanting to say "oh, go check them out," not "oh, I read everything they read/write."
15) Corollary to above: If you update and it's in my reading list and you want me to read it, send me a message. I use my reading list to see who last updated and I might not get to you.
16) Unless I stop right in the middle for grammar, punctuation, or spelling errors, I will generally read everything already posted. That doesn't mean I'll vote for it. If the last thing I remember is Robin running forward to stop Chrom's death in chapter 9, then that's probably as far as you'd posted.
17) The ONLY exception to the above is if you violently murder Gerome or Takumi in such a way that I feel disgusted. And that probably won't happen. But if it does, I WILL stop reading. Maybe. I dunno. (Don't tailor your story to my tastes. Tailor it to your own.)
18) Have fun in your work! If you aren't an author for a living, you probably aren't making money off writing. So express yourself and weave a story for the ages.


Note: Rule #17 is a joke.
