Restrictions: Female!OCxMale!Chara stories.

Reading preferences: Angst, gore, action, mystery, introspective fics, comedy, one-shots, short stories sci-fi, great cliffhangers! Metaphorical stories with plenty of topics to ponder about. And LGBTAQ+ romance (1).

Writing preferences: Tragedy, intricate backstories, alternate universe, introspective, comedy, parody, psychological, angst.

Critique specifics: OC analysis (2), OOC-ness, canon characters' introspective fics, AU personalities, comedy elements, and mystery elements, literary devices.

Payment: To be completed between time of entry and before I start the critique. For regular one-shots and short stories, a 5+ lines review of any one-shot in Scrapshots (Bloody Snow, A Day in the RPG World, God of Victory, The Adventure of the Fubuki Triplets, or Red Spider Lily), and the newly published a g a p e. Depending on the length of the entry, I reserve the right to increase the amount (exclusive for short stories). And for an OC critique, an 8+ line honest comment in each of the first four chapters of K A T H A R O S (Please post each review in its respective chapter) (3).

(1) I don't consider myself apt to judge stories with romance as a main genre, so don't take this as I know about it. However, I do consider myself a KDFD connisseur. Bring them on!

(2) I encourage that your entry has more than one chapter--yet still falls in the short story category--for an accurate OC review.

(3) All these fics can be found in any of the three sites I use, but I recommend commenting through the same site you are applying through, meaning if your entry is from FFN, do the payment through that site. Easy peasy. I can't stress enough I do not want a string of praise as payment. I want feedback and honest impressions. It is only fair.
