"The Road To 5/5." : Offering Free Services of Critiquing and Reviews

INTRODUCTION

You're on your bedroom with the lights dim and your device on your lap. You type furiously on the keyboard as series of ideas rush into your mind. You typed the last letters, completing your long-awaited first chapter. And then while you're sipping your mug of hot chocolate, you suddenly realize something; Someone to read your work.

Your best friend must be in your thoughts right now while you read the last words of the previous paragraph. Or perhaps an ate you met in school to help you out with your grammar and structure.

Or maybe you have no one at all. Nobody to rate your story or help you out with traps or areas you think is difficult for you. And I'm here, offering you free service of major critiquing.

I know you're in doubt right now. No one would ever do this for free. I have drifted in the thoughts of payment earlier, but disregarded it. Writing is my passion, and I'll do it for free whether I like it or not.

Now, we can stop the bullshit and jump right through what you were expecting: "How do I submit?"

There are two methods of submission. You can choose whatever method you will use as long as it goes by the format. Remember that I will not accept anything that does not go by the format.

Method 1: Comment. Yes, that simple. Comment the format given below. Anything that is irrelevant in the comments, except questions or validations, will not be entertained.

Also, you can only submit links through this method.

Method 2: Email. Send it to alyannajoycancejo(at)gmail.com. This is applicable for both links and documents. Any documents will be entertained but Google Docs, MS Docs, or PDFs are preferred.

For the format:

WP Name:
Title:
Word Count:
Genres:
Mature?: (Yes or No)
*Chapter No.:

LINK/DOCUMENT/PDF:

... So, author-ssi, what exactly will you give us?

- A detailed analysis of your chapter or overall story
- Rating
- Overall review

So I will not be proceeding with my kept format of how I critique, but you may pick up some of it in the reviews that will be posted in chapters. Yes, you read that right, the reviews will be posted publicly.

... Can we submit stories even if it won't be published at Wattpad?

Sure, why not. Just include where. A few examples of sites wherein you can publish your stories are AFF, Fanfiction.net and many more. If you're going for company publishing or self-publishing, just add it in the format.

... Can we submit stories that aren't ours?

No. Why would you even do that?

... If I sent it through Method 2, can you send me the review?

As I said, it is published publicly. So I don't get why you would need the review to be sent directly to you.

... Can I submit non-English stories?

Before you assume it, no, I'm not a polyglot. You can only submit English and Filipino stories.

... Can I submit now?

You can start now. Just make sure what you're submitting is already finished. And I mean the chapter, not the overall story.
